Construction paper world.

My inspiration arrives suddenly and from a memory that could have easily been abandoned because I was so consumed. So many exceptional moments could have been lost while I spent time in orbit.

Who would I be without that lost reality…and your face, your words, and your touch?

You sing karaoke
without knowing
the words.
Can’t read,
but can kill it
in a verse.
That sweet dance,

a remembrance.

With that in mind, I continue...

I am fascinated with the everyday condition. I watch and listen and I am prompted to return the favor with ink and fiber. I am captivated by the remote.

I am drawn to those who misguidedly assume they have little to offer. I admire those with the biggest hearts, and the quietest egos. And the vibrant, passionate, strong willed and self assured also encourage my craft.

The dark and pensive, the quiet and plotting, the spirited and confined, the naïve and unafraid…any combination a profit, all notions sublime.

The gravity of a book, a wise old woman, a tale told in three verses and a chorus repeated twice, the advice of those who know infinitely so much more, and the unexpected bit of hope that arrives when you say I love you.








p.s. paint your walls a deviceful shade of change and then you will know why.

Hey Mayo.

resurrected wreck said...

Good afternoon to you, sir.

resurrected wreck said...

And a merry good afternoon to you too, Salt & Vinegar :)

Hey RW!

Mayo,

You okay today? Is it as pretty in your world as it is right now outside my window?

resurrected wreck said...

What's on the agenda for you today, S&V? Any fun stuffs planned?

Smoke said...

Not much, RW. I think Solly is going to come over to my house later tonight. Other than that though, nothing.

What about you?

capture this void said...

Oh shit, son.

No school today!

Smoke said...

Hey CTV!

capture this void said...

Hello, S&V :)

Smoke said...

You know Mayo, I rarely ever give you anything 'constructive' or any advice. I guess I don't give you much at all. It's not that I don't want to, I just don't know how, ya know?

Just know that I hope you have gotten back a little of what we have gotten from this place. I hope it makes you happy. I hope it makes you smile.

And maybe I can make you laugh every now and then. ^_^

Happy Easter weekend to ya!

resurrected wreck said...

I have a birthday party to attend this evening, S&V. So in a couple of hours I must begin primping for that.

Hullo, CTV! :)

Smoke said...

Oh cool! That'll be fun.

I'm sure the party will be, too. ^_~







*Primping is my favorite pastime.

resurrected wreck said...

I've gotten out of the primping habit, S&V. I must make amends!

resurrected wreck said...

I've got a kit-full of M.A.C. make-up wating to be played with!

*rubs hands gleefully*

Anonymous said...

mustard you said do something with constuction paper!

Anonymous said...

construction sorry!

resurrected wreck said...

I can't even remember the last thing I made with construction paper. Maybe a card.

Smoke said...

RW! OMG! If I ever buy new make-up, I'm such a girly-girl, I have to go home and immediately play with it.

It's soooo much fun! ^_^


And with that, I'm off for a bit.

Gots one hour and five minutes left of work. >_<

Toodles!

Take care, dear.

resurrected wreck said...

You had to work today, S&V?? Isn't it a stat holiday?

resurrected wreck said...

Hullo there, FASC :)

capture this void said...

Have you ever read the comments by pressing the date? And it shows everything with a black background, yeah?

It gives the blog a completely different feel.

I prefer the white.

resurrected wreck said...

I feel like... a spiked iced tea.

Yes! That's the ticket :)

capture this void said...

Hello, FASC. How've you been, love?

resurrected wreck said...

I tried that once, CTV. It weirded me out :S

Anonymous said...

Hey everybody, S&V20, RW, CTV! How are you all?!
I'm done with major stuff at school, so I should be around more. Damn the real world eating away at time that should be spent blogging!!

MAYO!
I just finished gluing a picture of Lord Byron onto a piece of purple construction paper, for my bulletin board at work, and I then read your latest blog!
Ah, the coincidences!

I really identified with this because it's something I feel everyday when I go to work.

capture this void said...

Yeah.

Dampened the mood a bit.

farawaysoclose said...

i think i get the 2nd part mayo. are you referring to us?? that makes sense if you are. i'm trying to work out which one i am in that?? i'm not sure actually. i guess others see us differently to how we see ourselves?

the first part i'm thinking about.

So many exceptional moments could have been lost while I spent time in orbit.

hells i think i've lost a fair few of those!!!!!!

hi RW, CTV and princess.

are you going to converse mayo??

capture this void said...

Hello, Star! It's been far too long since we last spoke.

Good to see you here again.

resurrected wreck said...

Hullo, Star! :D It's been ages!

farawaysoclose said...

hi star!!

i'm good CTV.

well you might not be referring to us. i shouldn't assume at all. probably should keep my mouth shut and let the others decipher you??

Thank you! It's been a long time! It is good to be back!
How are things by you?

Anonymous said...

RW!
I was thinking of you while I was costume mistress for Hello, Dolly! It was fun, yet painful to hot glue feathers back to her headpiece!
So much attention to detail and I'm not usually like that, so it was different.

resurrected wreck said...

Do you have any pics, Star??

capture this void said...

Can't complain.

I trust you're doing well, yes?

Anonymous said...

No, RW, I didn't even think to take any myself. I'm sure the kids have some. I'll ask.

CTV, I'm good, can't complain, either.

farawaysoclose said...

blogger is eating my fucking comments!!!!


i will try again!

i like the p.s mayo.

i haven't done karaoke in years. i always have to be drunk to do it, obviously. i tend to wake up the next morning and slowly the memories return!! never pretty!!

Well, Mayo, dude.

I was totally kidding about the construction paper, but I admit, there's still a kid in me somewhere. I'll go purchase some and make picture frames for lyrics. I'll go get those pom pom balls and pipe cleaners and paste or tape them all over a piece of poster board.

I assure you it's the biggest mess you've ever seen, but it's always fun. It's something I do for me, so it's cool.

I'm off to digest this one. It's doing some talking, so I need to listen.

Points To Ponder
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?


Why do you have to 'put your two cents in'.. But it's only a 'penny for your thoughts'? Where's that extra penny going to?


Why does a round pizza come in a square box?


What disease did cured ham actually have?


How is it that we put a man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?


Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?


Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?


If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a stupid song about him?


If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?


If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap, why didn't he just buy dinner?


If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?


Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

Pixie said...

thanks bc *hugs*

"Yeah pixie, I think you are right. Maybe you know the little finish skipping one."

Anonymous said...

If you are addressing Mayo, then I can answer that question, Kapunua.

It was not Mayo, it was me.


Cool, well thank you for clearing it up. ^_^ It's just, I can easily imagine everyone "getting" her, is all. ^_^ You must be a regular, or a regular lurking if you knew who I was not signed in, yeah? I ask because there's someone we miss a lot. Well either way youare a nice anon.

Solly I like your "missing" flyer. I should make one for Calaf and Spooky Anon (if, that is, they are two different people. I never did find out.)

Mayo I'd like to speak directly to your post, as usual it's got me thinking, challenged and challenging.

Who would I be without that lost reality…and your face, your words, and your touch?

Well like I said, Mayo, you would still be you, yanno? Other people, yes, they can shape you. But they can't define you, right?

You sing karaoke
without knowing
the words.


That was my last Saturday after two glasses of wine, shyyyyeeit.[1]

I am fascinated with the everyday condition.

Do you consider yourself to be outside of it? Do you feel like you're looking in? Or that your "everyday" is different? Perhaps it is, and I'm curious as to the differences, but I'll probably just have to live with that. :)

I watch and listen and I am prompted to return the favor with ink and fiber.

You do, in your own exotic way. (As for fiber, well you know, you're supposed to get, what, 30 grams? VitaMuffins have a lot. They're pretty good, too!)[3]

I am captivated by the remote.

Then your lazy ass needs to get off the couch and wash the goddamn dishes for once. Damn. Honestly, could you ever do something else aside from watch Will and Grace? It's a nice day, Mayo! Go for a walk. [2]

I am drawn to those who misguidedly assume they have little to offer. I admire those with the biggest hearts, and the quietest egos. And the vibrant, passionate, strong willed and self assured also encourage my craft.

The dark and pensive, the quiet and plotting, the spirited and confined, the naïve and unafraid


Mayo, don't you think that everyone is a little bit of these things at different times? No one is always passionate, always humble, always strong. No one always has the biggest heart, the loudest voice, or the quietest ego. I think everyone's a combination at all times, right?

With that in mind, Mayo, have you ever considered that anyone you don't know in real life--like us on this blog for instance--play a certain part? Like, we fit into certain roles, we exaggerate what we want to see in ourselves and downplay what we don't like? And the mean anons, they overplay what we don't want to talk about? How many times have anons come in here and called me ugly, called others people ass-kissers, called people weak or dumb or easily-led, or old or useless or pathetic? How often have they called you a liar?

Mayo, how often have you seen us let those perceptions change how we act? How often have you seen us make it a point to not let it change how we act?

Anyway, I guess what I'm saying is that I hope (and believe) that you can see beyond the "roles" we sometimes play here; beyond our exaggerated selves and the (sometimes) exaggerated words of the mean people.[3.5]

Well either way, thank you for this post, and totally, construction paper rules. I haven't played with it in a long time though. ^_^




[1] Just playin wityoo Mayo.

[2] Just playin wityoo Mayo.

[3] Just playin wityoo Mayo

[3.5] I specify "sometimes exaggerated" Mayo, because at least when it comes to things like "ugly" that is a matter of opinion, and is not exaggerated. And I'm okay with that. It doesn't bother me.

the EP is eclectic when it comes to the meaning...
most about relationships, others about being yourself being comfortable doing it and chasing your dreams... the usual!
