This is anxiety

It's the constant feeling of not quite right and I don't know why I feel this way but it hurts (but not in ways that others can understand) and it's the tension in your chest, the rising water the aching muscles and the clenching in your core That never leaves It's the headache that never quite fades, just hurts sometimes more than others. It's the constant need to move with your racing thoughts— to bounce or twitch or glance around the room every three seconds just to make sure you're not being watched, you're not being judged It's two a.m. and you're lying facedown on top of hot sheets, such an empty shell you don't even have the en

Color Theory resources

Nov 21, 2009

Hello all! I am very excited that the skin tutorial is finally going live. Hope you all find it useful. :) Thanks for being so patient. As I mention, knowing your color theory and anatomy is vital to painting skin well. Someone has already asked for resources on color theory, so it seems logical to post this list in a journal so everyone see it: Color theory tutorials on the web: :bulletblue: Phil Straub : Color Theory Simplified http://www.imaginefx.com/02287754332297800669/colour-theory-simplified.html :bulletblue: fredflickstone @ conceptart.org : Color Theory 1 & 2 http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=17837 :bulletbl

because it's valentine's day

i am so small and many times i grow afraid that no one will ever remember me. she told me her idea of rebellion was crossing highways with her eyes closed, which she did on sundays, the lord's day, sometimes in her socks. you are big like ceilings. you rubbed earth in my hair and swallowed me like oceans salt-skinned and panting. i stuck to you like wet clothes; please keep me warm always. they are just single-celled organisms, soothing gums and proofreading cardiograms. the traffic lights held me and he felt like interstate. i am made of billboards and bike chains but you tell me i'm cute. i smile. thank you for gi

The day the leopards died

Alarm clock - check! The city humdrum - check! The noisy guy upstairs - check! The sound of running water - check! The angry woman on the phone - check! The furtive cat legions, stray, spoiled - check! The wars on TV, clamorous, onerous, futile - check! The shadowy stalkers returning to their hideouts - check! The mother, worrying about offspring whereabouts - check! The birds - a farrago of doves, gulls, sparrows, crows - check! The dogs - spaniels, Great Danes, retrievers, pomeranians - check! The plumber, wanting money for that job he never completed - check! The bugs, the critters, the noises behind the walls, the eyes in your

From the Journal of a Cynic

He held her hand in the shadows, in a nanosecond of half-crazed lust. She didn't notice, or if she did she attributed it to cheap champagne and a dash of almost evaporated romantic idealism. Funny how soul mates (if you'll pardon the expression) brush past each other, never questioning the way people shuffle in and out of each other's lives. Boy meets girl, girl meets boy, boy and girl fall in love, girl realizes boy is too boyish and dumps him for a married man who advertises men's cologne and has no time for his five and a half year old daughter. Love. It's an almost invariable idiosyncracy in the genetic sequence of the primates currentl

acquiescence

i know who you are because i can feel you in my bones i know who you are because i can see myself in your eyes i know who you are because your footsteps are my heartbeat i let go of your bones and felt empty but now i can feel my own i looked away from your eyes and felt blind but now i can see myself i walked away from you and felt lost but now i know where i am and i know what comes next the final acquiescence i'm not there yet but i'm coming acquiescence flows through like water washes out the fire of creative destruction and acquiescence flows through like water dissolves the solid parts that block love

poetry in motion 1

Each point pulls everything into itself in an interminable effort to become nothing The singularity of past events form a push that converts it into secular beings Countless voices envelope themselves in an attempt to mimic what they're seeing A whole composed of individualistic cells surviving by destroying A trap left open with someone on a trip being discovered and recovered in everything Two mirrors facing each other with infinite reflections of the beginning becoming the end & the end becoming the beginning. The bat flies in the day blinded by the enveloping night, Yet never foundlings spar relentless drawing in Whatever is going

Recurso: La retorica by kamy-ska, literature

Recurso: La retorica

LA RETÓRICA Cuando se trata de hablar en público, de poner por escrito esas mismas ideas, entonces solemos titubear, nos faltan las palabras, no encontramos el termino justo capaz de significar lo que sentimos. La causa de esto radica en que, al hablar en público o al escribir, hemos de utilizar un estilo más elevado y selecto que el empleado en nuestras conversaciones, y claro es, no estamos preparados para ello. Para conseguir esta preparación es necesaria la práctica no solo de la redacción, sino de la lectura meditada, viendo como han expresado su pensamiento los demás, observando que medios han e

Ten Commandments of Writing by unicorn-skydancer08, literature

Ten Commandments of Writing

1. Have an original plot. If every book was the same, we'd get bored with them pretty quick. Variety is what gives that special spice. Try to come up with a story that's entirely your own. If your work is based off another work, however loosely, make sure you use your own style. Don't just repeat what someone else has already written. Nobody likes a copycat, and you could face an unpleasant lawsuit that way. 2. Have a good title. If you want people to read your book, you'll need a title that will catch their eye. Make it exciting, but keep it brief, too. Don't make your title so long that it wears the reader down. Try to stay within the li

For Madison

Streams of summer air carried well-wishings and sleepy symphonies of crickets' nighttime magic, but nothing compared during sunlit hours to the music made by his own two hands. They would never touch a piano again, never breathe notes in patterns full enough of beauty that they would make Debussy bleed with envy, never resurface from the cold glass of the lake's mirror. He was a sorcerer of sound, a soul on fire with compassion and artistry -- he was dead. Caught in the undertow. Forever frozen in insufficient rescue of a boy smaller than himself. His heart had gone still, but was bigger than any beating above ground. I heard him breathing
