The Ying with The Yang..

 
It's taken me a few days to go through the mental garbage in my life and differentiate the many things that I should let go of, the things I should recycle, and in few cases some things I should hold more dearly to my heart. It felt nice to face some of these topics head on and finally release the claw-like grip I had on my life.
Sometimes you just need to let your
hair get tangled in the wind.
 
I've been utilizing every creative outlet I have. I have all of these massive ideas that keep bombarding my brain. I have so much want to be more then what I am and I need to find some balance. I am a dabbler as it is; and I'm coming to the conclusion that I need to focus on one project at a time. My work deserves my concentrated attention. I've recently lost a good friend of mine and before we completely stopped talking she hit me below the belt and told me that myself and my art specifically are not taken serious by people.
I admit that it hurt more then you could imagine (but I guess that was the point), not only do I not have this person in my life anymore but, it completely makes you question your creativity and passions. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and I will respect them whether they are positive or not.
 
However, it did bring my right brain to a screeching halt for a couple of weeks.
 
A couple more days have passed since then and I've had much needed quality time with my best friend and OH... so lovely roommate Rachel Barry. This girl really has no idea how much she saves me time and time again. It's been seven years and I must say these five months of 2013 have been the most trying for the both of us. Luckily, we have each other to lean on in our times distress.
On to a better note..
What I AM sooooooo excited for is Pensacola Pride! Every year I plan around this annual trip with all my favorite friends and we camp out on the beach with thousands of gays like myself and
p a r t y.
 
It is like something out of a movie and the second I'm back home I start planning for the following year. This year we have some newbies joining our festivities and I can NOT wait till they see what they've gotten their selves into. :)
15 DAYS LEFT ON THE COUNT DOWN!
This photo pretty much sums up the PG Version of our trip..
Of course our Kristy Lee experience is always superb.
And sometimes you might just end up sleeping on the beach and waking up to a sunrise if you're a lucky one ;)
 
Le sigh... I will be one happy camper.
Till next time kittens..

And.... go.

I'm real new to the "blogging world" so pardon the site for now!
(hard hat required for this newbie)
 
 
Anyway, here's the gist..
 
 
Since December 31st, 2012 I have opened my shivered and collapsing heart to a world no longer of silence but, of truth. I have written down sentences at a time that have surfaced in my convoluted mind that seem to make me feel okay, even just for a second. I started a project called Ghost. It's a series of letters from fond memories to intimate moments of when my heart finally gave you up. I haven't shared the Ghost project and I'm not sure I ever will but, I need to give it a break for now. So until I'm ready to resume I'll be writing here where I can share with the public.  
 
 
 
So until next time kittens..
