Hey, every once and a while a guy thinks "Y'know, maybe I can draw something." And, every once and a while, that same guy might think "Yo, maybe I can draw somethin' worth someone else's critique." Finally, in rare cases, that guy might come to the conclusion "Eh...what the foozeh...I should put my drawings online."
Yeah, Genesis really is some type of awesome. Even their really early stuff before Phil Collins joined in sounds amazing. Wish I had more than just the Platinum Collection to go off of, tho'...
What's better is, the Genesis album "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" features an album design by one of my favorite graphic designers, Storm Thorgerson. He's the man behind Pink Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon" album cover, and just about all of the rest of Pink Floyd's stuff. Google his name sometime, check out his stuff; it's surreal and deep, that kind of odd imagery that just kinda confuses and intrigues you.
Yes. You. All of You.
Ever notice that if you write a word too many times, it starts to look weird? Like, you don't know if it's spelled right, even if you've done it many times before? Odd.
22-minute long songs...fun fun...
"I know what I like
And I like what I know
Getting better in your wardrobe
Stepping one beyond your show."
-"I Know What I Like In Your Wardrobe", by Genesis
Wee, making things spin in AutoCad. The 3D in this program is intriguing...wonder if I can use this as a basis for C4D...
I often find myself singing while doing...just about anything. My friends think I sing well, my coworkers have mixed feelings, and my relatives think I downright suck. Ah well...I've been complimented by complete strangers on my singing, so I must be doin' at least mildly well. As for why I sing, the reason is threefold: for one, I like to sing, mainly because I love music and it's power over me; for two, because I want to improve, so I'm constantly training my vocal cords; and for three, because I want to bring some sort of pleasure to others, and if it's even slightly possible to do it with my voice, then I'll keep trying.
"I'm...counting out time
Got the whole thing down my numbers
All those numbers
Give me guidance
Oh Lord, I need that now."
-"Counting Out Time", by Genesis
I wish I could write music. That'd probably be a lot of fun. I really should take Philosophy...
I've realized that I've ever only wanted to bring people happiness. Every sketch I've drawn, every song I've sung...while I have my own motivations of success and ambition, I also have that selflessness about me that wants to bring people joy. Still, it seems that people never notice my attempts, or get the wrong ideas. Is it such a bad thing to try?
"I wish...that I could really tell you...
All of the things that happened to me...
And all that I have seen.
A world full of people, their hearts full of joy.
Cities of light, with no fear of war.
And thousands of creatures, with happier lives.
And dreams of a future
With meaning and no need to lie!
No need to hate!
No need to hide!
Oh, keep it dark."
-"Keep It Dark", by Genesis
Got really wet today due to the precip outside. My hair was dripping on my glasses, and my coat was nicely soaked. Dunno why I didn't put my hood up, but ah well...it felt good. It's not very cold out there, so I didn't mind the moisture. I have to surpress a laugh sometimes at people who where big heavy coats with winter hats and generally look like eskimos when it's still this warm outside. Then again, I am wearing a trenchcoat, and unbuttoned or not, it's still very satifyingly warm.
"Feel your body melt!
Mum to mud to mad to dad.
Dad diddley office, dad diddley office.
You're all full of ball.
Dad to dam to dum to mum.
Mum diddley washing, mum diddley washing.
You're all full of ball."
-"Supper's Ready" by Genesis
