you think I'm made of stone, I'm chiseled out of brick. I'm a vase that shatters, Holding such beautiful things.

Right now I am looking for Crochet for charity organization's in new york so that maybe I can give back by crocheting toys or hats for children.

I made this little cutie the other day, I have just named it Ruth. Isn't she cute!

I want to light up someones day, with something special just for them. I guess part of it is kind of selfish of me, because I enjoy making other people happy, but that's not wrong is it...?

I went the Envy on the Coast show Saturday, it was amazing! I have a new favorite song by them called "Made of Stone" that is where the title of this post comes from.

They are just so amazing live! I also fell in love with a new band that opened up for Envy called Twin Atlantic, and they are going to be at Bamboozle, so YAY!

Not much has been going on, basically I'm just enjoying the calmness of it all and getting my act together and all.

*Side note* The lyrics from "made of stone" just encapsulates the way I feel... I believe in this.

You won't take away my pride... No, not this time

Art is something that is constantly changing, and vastly different from person to person.
For the past two years, I have found that my work has morphed and changed into something that I truly love.
I have created these stick figure people that make me so happy whenever I create a new one, not unlike children.
They have become so much a part of me, it amazes me how much they mean to me.
My life like most seems to always be in a state of transition, and I love that, but from these transitions come a change in my Art. Sometimes the change is small and barely noticed and other times it's huge and so out of the realm of what I would draw regularly.
That's what I adore about my work, It's a timeline for things that I have experienced and ways that I have felt. I can look at one of my pieces and revisit the place I was in my head.
I guess that is what I want to convey to you today. I want you to go the the same place I was when I was creating, feel what I felt & Think like I thought. Is that realistic? Maybe not but it's what I want.

I am grown up at 23, will someone tell me what it takes to be happy

This will be a post of statements:
I'm just so stressed out lately
Fed up with a lot of things
I want to find a place to call home
My life is at a stand still
I went to the Juggle This fest on sat, it was Fun.
I can't wait for Bamboozle right now it's like a beacon of light in my life.
Why can't life be like in the movies
I don't feel happy
I feel twisted & conflicted inside
I feel alone
What a depressing post
Maybe I should go see a movie
should I even post this
What would make me happy now
right this very instant
sleep?
music?
reading?
making new friends?
It's so hard to make new friends sometimes
sometimes they turn out to be mean people
that you didn't want as ur friend to begin with
~Sigh~
Today is my one day off and not a single second has be spent on me..
How do u know if ur being used?
Why do some of the people in my life want to change me.
I like me the way I am

I can feel it in my bones.

Rock the Vespa
Rock the Vespa,

So last Saturday I went to Brooklyn to finally get my hair cut, visit my Great Grandmother and do some random wandering.
So on my way to get my hair cut I was passing a driving school
When I noticed a man teaching a girl to ride a scooter, at that point I did a 180 turn and went inside to get more details.
So jump forward to today, I am pleased to say that I am now the very proud owner of a Motorcycle learners permit, which I need to take Vespa lessons and to get my Vespa!
I totally feel like I am just that much closer and it was so easy.
Why can't everything be this easy?
But today I realized that if you want something you have to go grab it!

I cant wait to ride a Vespa!!

*Side note* I want to go to the city this week.....
