about me: personal trainer, artist, and musician currently in nyc email [email protected] and as always... peace and smiles :) and now for some wonderful quotes... “If you haven't cried, your eyes can't be beautiful.†-Sophia Loren“How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live. You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.†- Thoreau “The adventure of composition is a mystery. The muse has her ways, she hides from you, comes for you in the middle of the night, at midday, at dawn. You must believe wholeheartedly in this divine power. Its an elusive gift that can appear at any time, anywhere. Artists are in awe of it.†-Mickey Hart“To conceal anything from those to whom I am attached, is not in my nature. I can never close my lips where I have opened my heart." -Charles Dickens “A heart well worth winning, and well won. A heart that, once won, goes through fire and water for the winner, and never changes, and is never daunted.†-Charles Dickens 858 Lex - Ian Cuttler's first gallery show with me. photo from the July 11, 2007 opening. "Art is creative for the sake of realization, not for amusement... for transfiguration, not for the sake of play. It is the quest of our self that drives us along the eternal and never-ending journey we must all make." -M. Beckmann "Time made me change. I gradually woke up to the realization that this is who I am, an author, a public figure, and I couldn't just hide in my study, tapping away at the keyboard and pretend that I didn't have a role to play beyond stringing words together." -D. Guterson "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe." "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye." -Matthew 7:1-5 my best friend, my other half, my brother. Here is my ray of sunshine, the tiny terror! His name is Paz, named after the one and only. i'm only human, i mess up, more than many, less than some. my words never seem to come out right, but feel my heart and you'll know my soul. understanding is key. music is a key to understanding. faith is a key to understanding. 'know my heart and you'll know my place'. i'll wear my heart on my sleeve, and i must admit, i really do like it there. truth is life. life is love. god is love. and i love my life so very much. “These are the seasons of emotion and like the winds they rise and fall...Upon us all a little rain must fall.†led zeppelin Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Matthew 6:34 As for the scoundrel—his devices are evil; he plans wicked schemes to ruin the poor with lying words, even when the plea of the needy is right. But he who is noble plans noble things, and on noble things he stands. Isaiah 32:7-8 “If the essence of my being has caused a smile to have appeared upon your face or a touch of joy within your heart; then in living - I have made my mark.†thomas odem jrMySpace Layouts MySpace Layouts
