First, there's this project by an artist who got daily deviation yesterday: Avid, called project 365. The aim is to draw for every day of a year. I browsed through his project's portfolio and seen so many interesting drawings with captions I'd like to share here. But one drawing in particular hit me; it hit me hard. Owh. Actually it wasn't the drawing that hit me, but the caption. so:
the caption is
I get emotional over a lot of petty things, I am glad I draw & not commit my thoughts to laughable writing.When I read that, I thought to myself darn... I do get emotional over a lot of petty things too.. But did I, on the contrary, committed my thoughts to very laughable and hate-able writings in this blog? I think I did. I am. Damn. So, should I not be glad instead? Should I stop writing and draw instead so no one can really guess what I am thinking and even the dumbest thoughts would not make anyone laugh because it wasn't a joke??
Nah. I think I am okay in making other people 'laugh' through my writings of stupid 'discussions' and silly remarks about perspectives and opinions. It hit me, though. Real hard.
But the portfolio is great anyway. You should check it out. In case you're interested [link].
Second: I have this thing that I like to do. I shared this with Clyde and the super-rum8 from planet Kryptiieenn. I guess I wana share with the whole world too. Sort of.
While walking down the "hostel's runway" the side street would filled with cars parked, right. So, I have this thing of summing up the numbers on car plate numbers and round up the total into a one digit number. For example, for this plate: 6729 it is 6+7+2+9=24 so the final answer is 6 because 2+4=6.
I did that when I am happy. Or when I wanted to be happy. It works most days--it can stabilize my moodiness. So, maybe you could try it. Sum the numbers as fast as you can. Count the numbers out loud.
I love maths by the way. This is, apparently, my final hope of sticking up with numbers.
Third, I have this
I started this drawing a few months ago for a friend who seemed to appreciate my works the most. I hope she likes this. I got stuck not completing it because I couldn't find the most suitable thing to put in the half part of the drawing. I only get the idea of how to finish it a few days ago. It's called The Land of Far Beyond.
I like to conclude this sharing with another silly thought to share. I am like an amorphous cloud, forever changing shapes. So, I'd like to remind myself the unlimited possibility of my existence. In my own capacity, in my own boundaries, in my own limitation, in my own box--I am me, and I am free. I am weightless. I am me.
Like an amorphous cloud, who would only be a cloud, who can only be on top, who would one day die and fall down on earth and still be appreciated by earth, who is only a gathering of tiny droplets of water and yet is everything a dry land wished for, who can be harmless but harmful at the same time, always on the mercy of the winds but enjoyed by simply happy people finding peace on the blue sky.
And most importantly in all its limitation, it can change shapes and believe it as what it can be.
I am an amorphous cloud. It's a good thing, I guess...HEHEHEHE
