Hawaiian Breeze

Escape

away to a foreign land

Anew

Drinking smooth coconut and pineapple makes the sun go down

Aglow

My heart + the southern sunset

A Light in the Darkness

Adventures in Romance #9 ~ About Face

I've just seen a face~

A Night in the Life

The visuals: my apartment kitchen, doing recycled art for one of my university Design II projects ~ a big fish of multi-colored aluminum cans, mostly of energy drinks
                                                                                                        (overwhelming)
The tastes: Lison Pramaggiore Pinot Grigio, "stolen" from my sometime-love
                                                                                                          (bittersweet)
The smells: wax melts of Sweet Pea and apple wreaths and home
                                                                                                       (nostalgic)  
The sounds: Sweet Pea, by Tommy Roe, the refrigerator, car doors outside, a dog barking nearby,
                                                                                                          (melodic)
The feelings: the whirring of the computer fan under my hands and so much pain I can barely stand it
                                                                                                           (                     )

Grapefruit

             I found Yoko Ono's book quite by accident, right next to a Joe Orton anthology I was looking at for a theater report. It's called Grapefruit, and it's very abstract. After I was able to take a step back from it and gloss over the fact that it is a bit hippy-dippy-bourgeoisie and just appreciate it for what it was, I realized it's still thought-provoking and enjoyable. It's divided into nine chapters on various arts, the first of which is music. I particularly like:

" TAPE PIECE II

Room Piece

Take the sound of the room breathing.

1) at dawn
2) in the morning
3) in the afternoon
4) in the evening
5) before dawn

Bottle the smell of the room of that particular hour as well.

1963 autumn "

                  I think I like this because I've serendipitously bottled the smells of my rooms at various hours, by burning different wax melts and pouring the used wax into a large wine bottle. I have the sound of the room breathing, only it's not on tape

                                                                                                              and in my photographic memory.

Upbeat Murder Song Night: Part Deux

 I've found myself quite depressed & frustrated recently. Sometimes stress, losing someone, or just the inundations of daily life can make us feel pressured into forgetting that this is just life. We've done this before, and like it or not, we're doin' it again.

Depression is hard for everyone, at different points in life. Especially when you've lost someone dear...in whatever way you lose them. But you wouldn't know laughter without tears. This song I find quite humorous; it allows me to experience the laughter that reverberates into the truth of life.
