Musings of a Self Conscious Artist

"If I should have a daughter… I’m going to paint the solar systems on the backs of her hands so that she has to learn the entire universe before she can say “Oh, I know that like the back of my hand.”

I know I’ve posted this picture before, but I just submitted it to youmeandcharlie.com , so I thought I’d post it here again, with what I wrote to accompany in case they don’t pick it to go up. Here’s what I wrote:

“I took this picture downtown in the city I live near a few months ago. I  couldn’t believe that pediment was still there. There are so many places around  that have such wonderful architecture, I’ve always wondered what the buildings  were used for originally.
 
Does anyone else wonder things like that? or am I alone in that particular  brand of curiosity. Sometimes I even wish I could have lived in the times that  those places were freshly built, and just starting to be used. I would have  loved to walk the streets of that same downtown, about 50 years ago, and see all  the things I can only see now in very degraded pictures.

I’m sorry, but this is the best glee mash-up i’ve seen yet. And it helps just a tad that I love both the adele songs used.

“Rumor has it/Someone like you” - Glee Cast

The best one before this was the “Start Me Up/Livin’ On a Prayer” the girls did last season.

Some people never dream. Or, they dream, but don’t recall their dreams upon awakening. But there are some who dream every night. And some of those dreamers remember their dreams. Some even know when they’re dreaming. These are the special few, the lucid, the magicians of the imagination.

I know this is a cover, but it’s actually how I first heard this song, and it’s WONDERFUL!

I found out about it from a friend, who knows the girl in the video. I LOVE this video, and I can’t wait for whatever album they come up with on Ellen’s label!

I’ve been listening to this album a lot lately. I bought it because of “look at those eyes” which I posted a while ago, but I keep coming back to this song.

Look at my pretty girl. I took this earlier today. She’s grown so much.

I officially love this song, and at the moment, it definitely feels like my theme song.
