Rollin' Stone

Elephant 1948

Today was a crazy day, i went to see something that finally took me where i should always be, my subconsciousness, mine and also from a mad mad mad genius mind) and i really enjoyed it. Salvador Dali is time stopping, he knew it too, he knew it was mad, and extraordinary and he was not modest, but that was for me his charm. Today was magical, all day in his work. Even though i did not see my favorite painting by him(the red one above),tho i did not finish all the rooms in the gallery so i will come back soon, i brought a ticket that gives me access to the exhi for the remaining days. i did tho see my favorite self portrait he did(below). which was great. Self-portrait with the Neck of Raphael, circa 1921

SO yes that was part of my day, random like always, brougth some books, 4 to be honest, one is a great travel where is wally book. hahahah cant wait to start searching for him. i sometimes think he doesn't want to be found. Another one about a Colombian girl, the rum diary by the great Hunter S. T. and a nick cornby one, see how that one goes..
Oh as many of you know, Micheal Jackson died, don't think i am unkind and emotionally bankrupt as a friend put it but i was not that sad he died.. i mean yes he was a great amaising musician, but (wait i will just copy and paste my very talented beautiful kindred spirit friends words. (SARAH CARTER, or saz, or king saz or how every you may or may not know her by)

"i am NOT emotionally bankrupt. trust me. the lion king made me cry.
yet watching the news, then seeing the MJ related status updates flooding my home page made me feel...nothing..??
i am not a callous bitch. let me justify. 1. i didnt know the guy personally (duh). 2. his kids can walk around maskless now. 3. i have mourned his musical death since 1995 anyway. 4. Gavin Arvizo, Jason Francia, Jordan Chandler.

although point number 4, i have a feeling, will be glossed over in the wake of his death in the same manner suharto's corruption was glossed over when he died. death makes the heart grow fonder, no?
Rest in peace MJ."

OH yeah Farrah Fawcett also died today. oh and apparently Harrison ford and Jeff Goldblum died too. hahaha but in all honestly Farrah Fawcett did sadly pass away after her battle with cancer...
so rest in peace beautiful charlies angels woman with the golden hair and killer body...

TOMORROW i get my 15 rolls of film back and i cant wait to see and discover whats in them, i have about 10 more to develop, but money issues are very much alive right now, so i rather wait a bit longer...

i could go on and on today, but i am off to see a gig.. so till then, ENJOY AND DANCE DANCE DANCE

i leave you with some of the images i took in Tasmania.
love

city lights are different than forest fires.

I am back,
so i went to Tasmania 2 weeks ago today, to see the snow, to celebrate my 24th, to have some fun, to see my monkey and to relax and sort the many many thoughts that run through my mind endlessly without stop. i accomplish to do all of the above plus more.
one down thing that happened was i took maybe one roll of film the whole entire time i was there, its not like there were not many fantastic and random opportunities to snap at, but to be frank i was just not that into carrying any sort of camera with me, yes a photographer by trade/passion and not inspired to carry her camera, my gosh have i lost it, or have i simply just lost the inspiration for the time being? someone help me because i cant simply find the solution... i did though sketch and draw like a mad person, which is good, because it shows i am still creative and don't always have to be carrying a camera, i think that's maybe the issue here. no?

So what now, well sort out my life, figure out my ideas, my dreams and live them.
I finally 24, need to do something i actually enjoy again... i need to live on my own and i need to maybe seriously get lost for a while.. How should i leave everything behind without hurting so many? that is still something i have not figured out but i know i will have the answer soon, its there, at the back of my head, i can feel it pressing and wanting to come out and explore, so stay tuned to that.

So yes cant wait to develop the roll and see the very few images i took... i will hopefully have the memories though in my mind(unless i really loose it) to prove the joyful times of playing in the snow for the 1st time, i made a snow man and everything, it was surreal and i thank Karl so very much for such a wonderful day.

My birthday was the most relaxed one I have ever had as well, chilled by the fire and played with sparkles. it was seriously fun... i didn't wear a bra, nor did i wash my hair for most of the time i was there and i didn't care. I became one with nature and it was fantastic. now back to the city life, where bills, and stress and more stresses take alot of my time...

So yes that's all for now, i could go on and on, in a very rambling mood at the moment, but i don't want to take more of your time.. so till next time. enjoy the moment and jump to reach the sky, listen to the birds sing and dance with joy at every moment possible

kiss with a fist

hello hello
so the internet is still really slow, its pissing me off, but only a few more days and it will be back to normal, i have also discovered 20 rolls of film that need to be developed, a few 120 and the rest are all 35mm, but i can wait to discover the photographs in them, who knows whats in them. gosh i forget what i capture, but that's why i love analogue because once u develop them you find hidden treasures you never knew u had or had forgotten you had.. hahaha simple things make me happy, they do i promise..
its been a random week, not much been happening, but its been good, friends came over for dinner on friday, gosh i had forgotten how much i enjoy cooking. cooking for your self is boring i must say, its better when you share that moment with someone else and when there is wine involved offcourse. i do love VINO i have to confess... specially red wine... oh joy joy joy...

its finally freezing here down under, winter is finally upon us, arghh the wind is just horrible... but its sunday today and in a few hours i shall be going to a flea market, oh how i love them dearly. cant wait to find something burried upon piles of others ppl's crap. hahaha another joy joy joy... i shall be going down to tasmania in the near future which also makes me happy. not sure the dates yet, but i cant wait to give the monkey a big big hug... its also my birthday on the 9th, gosh 24, what a crazy age, its insignificant. right before the big 25 and to be honest that number gives me the creeps, 24 not 25. i dont like the number 4 its creepy in a way i cant really explain...

anyways i shall go and take a shower now. its 10 to 7 in the morning and my friend will get here in a matter of minutes plus my internet will die soon. 7oclock comes and i go back to slow slow dialup. fucking broadband and its usage limits, only a couple of days, tho its been good, i have ralised how much i am dependent on the net now days, to communicate, to research and to explore. hahahaha lets go out and play yes lets go out and play... play play play outside kids... go out and smell the trees, flowers, the wind and soak up the light....

till next time..
yours truelly

HOW IS EVERYONE DOING ON THE LAST DAY OF MAY?

i end with florence and the machine-kiss witha fist..

this polaroid reminds me of times of crazy conversations, crazy moments and magical sensations

slow

So my internet i think is over the limit, which means that broadband becomes like a really slow dialup connection, does anyone else remember the shitty dial up connections, gosh, it takes for ever for anything to load up. it sucks, so i guess i wont be using the internet much until we either 1. pay and get it back to normal, 2. let it be and wait till the bill comes and 3. use the internet from 3am to 9am where it becomes normal agian.. hmm i think ill go for number 2... so thats it, hope everyone is having a great time.. lolenjoy and speak and see u yall soon.... ANA BANANA.

Dazed and Confused.

So today was an interesting day, i told u guys i cleaned my room, hahah well today i brought a brand new vacuum(that word looks so dirty to me)cleaner. gosh i am becoming tidy, what is happening to the world, its nice tho, but my room seems so empty and big and its freaking me out, tho i am happy its clean. tomorrow we have a house inspection and my fucking landlord will be tagging along with the real state, gosh that woman gets on my nerves. imagine if you will the mother in the movie Requiem For A Dream. that's my landlord tho a little bit worse, she is a nosy bitch, who thinks she is the bomb who annoys the fuck out of me, but because i dont take shit from her, and i speak back to her(she talks and talks and never lets anyone else say a word) well i am the one who always sees her, i think the rest of my housemates are afraid of her. to be honest i cant be fucked with her either. oh did i mention when she speaks, she speaks int he third person, its the most comic thing.. so yes she is coming tomorrow, and oh my, my day is just wonderful because of that. hahaha

So apart from buying a vacuum cleaner today, i painted something wonderful today, i think i will apply for an exhibition (a post card one). for those who don't know, for those kinds of exhibitions the works have to be 30x30x30 no bigger, so i might enter 3 works, two paintings and one photograph. or maybe even mix media, i don't know yet, i have until next week, and its one of the gallery spaces i like. so should be good if i do...

I also cleaned the front garden today(yes i know who is this, Ana cleaning, no way hahaha)... it was a nice day, tho i think there was something in the air all day, i was feeling uneasy, nervous or something for no reason. actually there is a lot happening with my life, things that i rather not get into, but i am happy. and i have no fucking idea why. i like this euphoric feeling to be honest...

Its blossom awesomes bday on saturday the 23rd, and oddly enough she turns 23. hahah gosh that girl means the world to me.

In other news i really miss my monkey tho, which maybe is what is making me uneasy. but i know that he is thinking and missing me too, so that calms me down.. life is just the way it is and time is needed for us both to grow, learn and most importantly BE... its just i miss my best friend u know. gosh its wierd how close we got so quickly. its like we always new eachother somehow.sometimes i still cant believe it.

Anyways i think thats it for now. i better be going. but like always i will leave you with the song of the day.
