Your Word is "Peace" |
![]() You see life as precious, and you wish everyone was safe, happy, and taken care of. Social justice, human rights, and peace for all nations are all important to you. While you can't stop war, you try to be as calm and compassionate as possible in your everyday life. You promote harmony and cooperation. You're always willing to meet someone a little more than halfway. |

Too fun to pass up

Poetry/Song Meme!
Rules:
01. Put your music player on shuffle
02. The first lines of twenty songs = a poem; the first line of the twenty-first song is the title
Could you be loved and be loved
Don't ask me what you know is true
The world just lost two lonely people
There's no time for us, there's no place for us
If you're out on the road, feeling lonely and so cold
In every heart there is regret, while they soon repair, they won't forget.
Fuel injected, stainless steel chrome
Maybe it's my blood sugar, maybe it's because I'm mad
But I miss you most of all, when autumn leaves start to fall
Do it, do the hustle
I drink good coffee every morning
I'm on my way, I'm making it
It is only love I feel, that will give us peace of heart
Break it to me gently
Gold teeth and a curse for this town were all in my mouth
Don't be so hard on yourself.
I used to think my life was only up to me
Every night before I rest my head
Would you spare a minute, give me a single chance
Inna city woman, let me tell you this
Only the young and beautiful can be so aloof

Non-conformist, Visionary, and Independent
Abstract art uses a visual language of form, color and line to create a composition which exists independently of what may appear to others as visual realities. Western had been underpinned by the logic of perspective and an attempt to reproduce an illusion of visible reality. It allowed the progressive thinking artists to show a different side to the world around them. By the end of the 19th century many artists felt a need to create a 'new kind of art' which would encompass the fundamental changes taking place in technology, science and philosophy. Abstract artists created art that was diverse and reflected the social and intellectual turmoil in all areas of Western culture.
People that chose abstract art as their preferred artform tend to be visionsaries. They see things in the world around them and in people that others may miss because they look beyond what is visual only with the eye. They rely on their inner thoughts and feelings in dealing with the world around them instead of on what they are told they should think and feel. They feel freed from the tendancy to be bound by traditional thought and experiences. They look more toward their own ideas and experiences than what they are told by their religious upbringing or from scientific evidence. They tend to like to prove theories themselves instead of relying on the insight or ideas of others. They are not bound by common and mundane, but like to travel and have new experiences. They value intelligence, but they also enjoy a challenge. They can be rather argumentative when they are being forced or feel as if they are being forced to conform.

The Page 56 Book meme
Oct. 7th, 2008 11:17 pmPage 56 Meme
* Grab the nearest book.
* Open the book to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post the text of the next seven sentences in your journal along with these instructions.
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.
Summertide by Charles Sheffield
Rebka felt an increased force pushing him down into the padded seat.
"Three minutes, " Perry said. "We're on final deceleration."
Rebka looked across at him. They were about to land on the planet that Perry described as too dangerous for visitors, but trhere was no sign of fear in Perry's voice or on his face. He showed nervousness, but it could just as well be the excitement or anticipation of a man returning home after a long time away.
How was that possible, if Quake was so dangerous a death trap?
The car slowed and stopped and the door silently opened.

Rules:
- Post a Comment and I'll randomly assign you a letter (A - Z in the English Alphabet);
- Then you have to respond by listing ten things you LOVE that begin with that letter.
- Afterward, post this in your journal and give out some letters of your own.
I was assigned the letter M
- Men. Duh. I love everything about them: the way they walk, talk, smell. Tall ones, short ones, especially the furry ones. Special passion for redheads, Indian men and dark skinned mediterranean types. I can't look at a man on the street without wondering what he looks like naked.
- Movies. All kinds. I love watching them at home, going to movie theatres. Some of my best memories are of going to Saturday matinees in my home town. There's something magical about theatres, I think.
- Music. I love all kinds. I have absolutely no talent for it, beyond singing in the shower, but I absorb new music like a sponge and am always on the lookout for new bands or singers to obsess over. Love British Pop, Acid Jazz, good Electronica, the soul baring singer/songwriter type. Love to make mixed CDs for people to turn them onto music they might not know about.
- Maupin. Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City books and the work he has published subsequently to them are deserted island books for me. I read my first one back in the early eighties when my public library had a special table of gay lit on display. It was a pivotal moment for me, being able to stand there openly checking out the books and not being afraid; to know that there were books for and by people like me. He will always be associated with that in my mind.
- Massages. Both the talented amateur and the professional kind. Been ages since I've had one. I used to have a masseur in Saskatoon who was staggeringly hot. Salt and pepper haired, middle aged, but so hot. The massage itself was never sexual for me, and I never got turned on while he was doing it, but it helped me relax knowing it was him.
- Mochaccino. My coffee drink of choice, iced or hot. It's my litmus test for any coffee joint I hang out in.
- Metallic paint. I love using metallic and iridescent paints in my paintings. The way they shimmer in the changing light really accentuates the textures I use. And the artificiality of them also feels right in the artificial, abstract way I paint.
- Masturbation. Really, what else needs to be said?
- Mother. I miss her a lot. I am so much her son.
- Metal Men. One of my favourite comics from back in the day, when Walt Simonson drew them. Also in the new series by Duncan Rouleau. Fun, goofy, retro shape changing robots, each made out of a specific metal (Gold, Platinum, Lead, Iron, Mercury, Tin and Copper) Does it get any more fun than that??
