somthin' 'bout the universe & how it's all conected

[zigar]

SM...as someone who's variously made a living as a visual artist and a musician, i just have to say get used to it...there's always people like oblio...who criticize...even make personal attacks because they don't like or don't understand what you're trying to say...truth is it doesn't matter...if YOU like what you do...or if it does something for you...then suck it up...tell the critics to f-off and go write some more...or paint or whatever...

"teenage angst" and angst in general has produced much of what we call music and art ...i know my most creative times are also the times when i'm most miserable...

and besides...even if your stuff does suck (not saying it does)...the ONLY way to get better is to do what you do...over and over...i guarantee you'll be mightly embarassed by your early stuff...but that will be because you got better...

my advice...leave the troll alone and don't get involved in a flame war...especially over something as subjective as creativity...unless getting invovled in one makes ya more creative...hehe

[oblio]

it seems more ostentatious than anything else. I am all for non traditional art and I happen to be a post modernist, however your writings seem far to typical and the lack of structure and ability seems to me to come from a lack of ability as opposed to a love of kitsch.

So, cowboy(oblio). Pony up some of your own work before you criticize others. It's like a friend of mine who gives me crap constantly about the NFL team I like and yet he doesn't claim any team. Oblio, you seem to derive pleasure from cutting other people down. All that shows is how little you think of yourself.

Leave me alone
Just let me die
Please cease this pain
Which makes me cry
Take me to a silence deep
A place un-feeling
Where I can't weep
For here on Earth
I've lost my way
I'm not the person
Whom I portray
I'm tired
I'm scared
I'm sick of pretending
Please take my life
Create my ending.

Litmus---


Spoke to my lawyer....
Mr. Good News,
He got me joint custody,
legal separation.....

I'm so happy that I can't stop crying.....


If you're actually going through all that....man, I'm sorry, been there done that, and it sucks.

[Mr. j0nes]

well cripes and uh oh, thsoe are some mighty fine written words you have, however the message concerns me so.
which is why i say take a look around
to realize how lucky we all are. Those people in this forum can obviously read or write, well not necessarily write do too speech to text programs.... BUT in any case a large majority of the world is illiterate, in an article i read i believe it said like 3 or 4 billion??? thats a lot of people, so yeah the woman left you, which hurts a friggin lot, or if not a woman the significant other left, but cripes it hurts, and no one can tell you it doesnt but just remember how lucky you are, look at the cloud, the beautiful sky, life may be full of pain, but there is also such beauty, beauty that we tend to let slip on by
