These drawings by Inga Birgisdóttir are beautifully rendered while the subject matter walks the line between endearing and off putting which I suppose is why I'm intrigued. No one likes to see a wounded animal but I suppose if you're going to see one, these are quite beautiful. (Please excuse the terribly cheesy title. I couldn't help myself.)
NEW SEGMENT! Yep, another one (as if Rick Rossism'sweren't enough for you!)
Okay so here's the deal........I got a heap of crew on my Facebook who i suspect are far more interesting then I am.......hence periodically i get to give one of them the same list of questions and it saves me thinking of something witty to write on this blog myself.....
First Up.....DjNino Brown! Chances are, if you dig urban music, then this guy needs no introduction. Australia's top Urban Dj, Brown is the man behind the Blazin mix cd's, hosts his own radio show Trailblazin Radio, has supported the likes of Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, Rhianna, Diddy along with a long list of others, and is constantly touring the country to sell out shows...... What you may not know is that he also owns two Siamese cats and has discovered a newfound fondness for Dog Walking......
Without further ado, here's his answers (unedited...although i was tempted)
Name?: " Mister Jean aka DJ Nino Brown "(editor's note: i'll believe it when i see the legal paperwork!)
Location?:"Australia wide ! "
What do you do?: "Dj & make people dance "
Most people don’t know that i.......... "Love big butts and I cannot lie"(editor's note: it was meant to be something we all DIDN'T know!) I wish............... " people still bought music ! "
I love........... "sneakers, and lately mostly air max! "
My childhood hero was........ "Kate Jean "(editor's note!.....when Brown was a kid i wasn't even a twinkle in my Fathers eye)
My favourite Ep of all time is.......... "hard one, but of late, Joell Ortiz - Farewell Summer "
I refuse to delete Kate Jean off my Facebook friend list because........" she shaves the side of her head and I think that's sexy ! "

I haven't really blogged lately because there isn't honestly much to say. The only productive thing I've done in the past couple of days was going to IKEA and buying bed sheets and comforters for college. I still have lots of necessities to buy, but I'm going to go try to pick up as much of that as I can tomorrow with my Dad. I'm starting to pack already, because I'm afraid I'll forget things if I do it last minute. I can't believe I'm going off to college in 2 weeks.
Continuing from the topic of college, I got my dorm assignment. I'm going to live in a double in an on campus apartment. I'm going to have 4 suitemates. I've only talked to one of them through facebook and she's really nice. I can't wait to meet her in person. In addition, I finally enrolled for classes. I'm waitlisted on my math class, and I'm crossing my fingers that I'll get in. I'm #1 on the waitlist. Overall, enrollment was a pain to say the least.
What other things have I've been doing you ask? I've been playing Asda Story. It's a MMORPG. It's a fairly new game to the North America. Beta testing ended just a couple of weeks ago. The original version is in Korean and it's called MicMac. I've been playing for about a couple of days now, and I've been liking it so far.
The game has a lot of quests and grinding (game term), but I personally do not mind. It's a nice change for me from playing Ragnarok, which I quit awhile ago. I only have one character so far. I'm a Two Handed Sword Fighter and currently level 22. If anyone plays the game, feel free to message me on the game. My character name is 'Kumiko'.
Moving on, I've also been watching 'Moonlight Resonance' with my mom. It's so addicting. I got into it because 'Heart of Greed' was so good. I haven't loved a TVB series this much in a long time.
I love Raymond Lam! He's so cute and adorable. I hope he ends up with Linda Chung in the end. :) Bosco's cute too but I like Raymond more.
Until next time, bye y'all!

Title: How to Break through a CREATIVE BLOCK
Sometimes I just feel downright lazy, unproductive, and like a complete loser. I feel like I'm wasting my time and that I'm dishonoring my passions, talents, the work that's important to me. Anyone that's dealing with anything at least remotely creative knows what I speak of. Writers call it "writer's block." And I guess a painter would call it "painter's block?" Being a naturally contemplative, calm, meditative, and take-it-easy sort of dude, I can appreciate what it means to constantly take a step back from your work, whatever it may be, and allow the mind to settle and the creative energies to reform. If it wasn't for these sort of meditative breaks of calm, tranquility, and relaxation, I wouldn't be who I am as many artists wouldn't be able to do what they do. But sometimes we go overboard and what starts out to be a nice little break from our passions becomes a stagnancy and laziness creeps in little by little each passing day that we aren't doing what we love. Perhaps we're scared. Perhaps we feel that it's too hard to make our mark on the world with so many other people out there. Perhaps we've lost confidence in ourselves. Perhaps all of these things. When this happens a wall is erected between or passion and ourselves. We become cut off from our own art. Art being the product of our creativity. Artist being one who creates — painter, programmer, accountant, writer, etc. To be more exact, one who creates with love and passion and joy is the Artist. We are all Artists and perhaps most of us don't even know it. So when you stop creating what you love, everything that you are comes to a standstill and it's as if someone presses the pause button on your life. Now you're just breathing, eating, and sleeping, but not living. So here's a little meditation that I came up with to help you breakthrough any creative block you may be facing. 1.)Start out by building space around and inside of yourself. Space being room in your mind — don't think. Space being distance between you and any distractions — nosy parents & neighbors, unwanted noise, little kids running around, anything that can potentially distract you. Do whatever you have to do to find peace and calm throughout your body and spirt. Play soothing and inspirational music. Or perhaps do some yoga poses. Maybe go for a walk. Remember, you don't have to be physically inactive. Though I prefer to sit silently and listen to some good music, usually of soft sounds and less of words, like Sigur Ros, Radiohead, or The Flashbulb. Do this for as long as it takes to get you to that emptiness. Then, gently, almost imperceptibly, allow the passion of your art to fill you. Gradually begin to feel the joy of your passion. Feel the warmth and pleasure of your passion. Don't stick to anything, though. Remain empty. When you feel the excitement of your passion taking over, they joy, just observe it and let it flow through you. If you feel frustrated and blocked, then that's okay too, just let it flow through you. Be gentle with yourself. Remain looses, flexible, and allow yourself to float away in your passion. Do this for 15 minutes if you can. 2.) Then immediately begin your work. If you're a writer, then write. Painter, then paint. Programmer, then program. Activist, then hit the streets. Professional marijuana grower, then into your grow room! Just go do what you love. Regardless of how you feel at this point — inspired or uninspired, creative or stupid — doesn't matter, just jump into the work. Work for a bit, then stop. 3.) Completely leave your work alone for at least a few hours, preferably a day. Allow ideas to come to you during this repose and take mental notes — don't write anything down. No matter how brilliant, just let anything that comes to you just come to you. Same thing with bad feelings, feelings of laziness, unworthiness, etc.. Just let them come and flow through you. Don't hold onto anything and you'll be building up creative energy to pour into your work. 4.) Then get back to your work a day later and repeat steps 1 -3. Do this meditation for 1 - 2 weeks. And if you like the results, you may even choose to do this everyday before you start working. I do. It helps prepare my mind, body, and spirt for the creative work to come. It creates the inner path for Nature to work through me. Terence McKenna said it best: " Nature loves courage. It shows you that it loves courage because it will remove obstacles. You make the commitment...and the world will lift you up. This is the trick." Visit http://mindpetals.com to watch more videos
Title: Piano lessons - You're doing it wrong!
Here is a my little rant about Piano lessons. I really feel that they are teaching piano in an unproductive way, trying to teach it all classical instead of chords like guitar. That's why there are all the guitar bands these days, John Mayer, Jack Johnson, and hardly any piano bands like Kean and Maroon 5.
'Promises mean everything when you're little and the world is so big'
Everclear's Wonderful
The world is huge, experiences range from microscopically tiny to undeniably life-changing. Life is like a stormy sea with alternating periods of deceptive calm and back-breaking turmoil, and in this sea that is life, each person is one ridiculously small and powerless boat. In order to ride out the storm, we need to have an anchor, something to hold onto and to keep us from sinking in times of great trial. Sir Thomas More said,
'I'm anchored, to my principles'
-A Man For All Seaons
In times of great turmoil, our beliefs are whaxt should keep us grounded. I am not even saying solely religious beliefs either. I just feel strongly that we should believe in something good outside of ourselves. A boat does not have a brake, something within itself to help it face the strength of the sea- it has an anchor, something outside of itself that is rooted and strong enough to support the ship until calm is restored. Even in times of calm, the presence of the anchor gives the captain reassurance. Having a belief in something powerful and beautiful reassures you in times of calm and gives you something to fall back on in hard times.
I believe in God, love and hope. I am not blindly optimistic; I do not think that everything is perfect or that bad things do not and will not happen. I do believe though that somehow, in the end things will be okay, and that all I need is the strength to see the situation through. Rarely do people go looking for hardship, but it exists any way so the best thing you can do is face it. I am a strong believer of the whole '' what doesn't kill you makes you stronger approach" and this, combined with the hope of a better day, keeps me going each day.
So if you don't already, I really suggest believing in something. Let it be something larger and more powerful than yourself. Let it be something than is immortal and is unlikely to be hurt by the currents of change. But most importantly, let it be something that resonates with you.
Love you all and Stay inspired,
P.S. So let me know what you think. What is your anchor and what are your beliefs? Feel free to let me know in the comments below.
