I'd be happy being right, if I wasn't always right about the wrong things..

About Me

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense" -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

My Interests

Whatever..put 'em in a shiny box, and I'll forget for a few minutes that you've brought me rusty razorblades. I'll love you more for the box. And then I'll frame the blades.
One sweet thought goes lots farther than 10 bitter ones.
If my eyesight were taken away, I would crawl into a cave, or perhaps underground, and never step out again.
The world is made up of thousands of beautiful squares, and I intend to capture as many of them as I can.
Time is fleeting, as is memory, but a picture captures both forever.
I hate the fact that life isn't a cinderella story and that my Prince(ss) won't come galloping into my life with the shoe that fits. But I'm dealing with it. I swear! I've even sent my princess dress to the back of my closet. I mean, what? I don't own any dresses!
I want to connect with artists I can learn from, and maybe I can teach them something as well.

I'd like to meet:

Someone who believes the above.If you are a dreamer, come in,
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a lier,
A hop-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer...
If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire
For we have some flax-golden tales to spin.
Come in!
Come in!
-- Shel Silverstein

I'm dying. Or so I thought.

Ugh

The only tolerable thing about this day so far is that I get to go home one hour early. Oh yeah, that's because I came in one hour early. This day is simply intolerable. Can I go home now??? ...
