Peace out 2013

Love is all there is

Life didn't play out as this picture says. 

Or maybe it did. 

Near or far, wherever you are

YOU are always in my heart.

Mare-y Me

A mare is an adult female horse or otherequine.^[1]

In most cases, a mare is a female horse over the age of three, and a filly is a female horse age three and younger. However, inThoroughbred horse racing, a mare is defined as a female horse more than four years old. The word can also be used for other female equine animals, particularly mules and zebras, though a female donkey is usually called a "jenny." A broodmare is a mare used for breeding. A horse's female parent is known as its dam.

Sex Symbol

I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I'm out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.

Scorpio tendencies

i googled scorpio tendencies and this tumblr site arrived-
http://scorpiotendencies.tumblr.com/

as well as this general information-
http://www.astrology-online.com/scorpio.htm

the pursuit of figuring myself out.
i'm intense and sexual. and as of late am very repressed.

an orgy i wouldn't turn to. no. i don't think i could handle it.
too much loose skin and body insecurity for that.
on a positive note though i've taken up swimming.
lap after lap after lap after lap as a natural attempt to trouble shoot.

What happened to me-

And why?
Where am I going?
Where have I been?
Is the end when life begins ?
Is it forever you don't want to be friends?

beauTIFul you

My sweet friend Tiff Taff is embarking on adventure and starting a new chapter of her life story in Asheville, NC. She's one of the most beautiful spirit's i've ever encountered.

MUST. VISIT. HER.

No doubt about.

cum in ones eyes make them red as a night sky.  i know this because once instead of ass i chose face. 

the band on the other hand,
has nothing to do with me.

it's simply their name. Not in The Face

a subliminal warning to young ladies, maybe..

rather blunt actually

for sure worth being seen.

Along my journey I've dated, OkCupided, if you will..

Too much too quick 

lets just be friends, 

too much connection, memories, intimate time shared.  

black and white, 

all or nothing.

Infatuator. Infatuatee.

Am i "that crazy chick"?

Funny to think. 

No doubt it's true. 

I'm intense. Passionate

These dudes. 

It's what fuels my drive to produce art. Provide me a feeling of being something more than a consumer shell. 

DIY BDAY

it's a birthday tradition in our family to take a photo with your birthday cake. for a while i fought it, thinking come on.. really? but a couple of years ago i started enjoying it as a way of documenting how i look at any given age. how genuinely happy i am. how tired i look. this is me this year. better than last i think. i am growing in good ways.. though sometimes on the inside living in the day to day it doesn't feel this way.

exactly. don't fuel the fire. or do. stand up for yourself. and do what you think is right. love always.

happy birthday to me

today is the day. i was born 34 years ago at 11:47 in the evening. the story goes that mom went to the hospital at 9pm, i was born when i was born naturally, and she and dad went home the next morning. business as usual. life.

the next 34 years that followed have been a blur. to me anyway. here i am now. in waco. learning myself. i woke up this morning feeling like i'd been born again. not in the sense of christian. but that life is somehow new. like alot of days these days, destruction ensues. too much comfort is just that. and uninspiring. at least it caused me to write again. blog again. lesson learned. i am growing.

so then. a year ago my heart broke. really it didn't. it hasn't ever i don't think. it's a mindset. "what will be will be". life happens. over and over and over and over. 

do i feel at all? it's a question we ask me alot "these days". and then we do just that. attempt to make alicia feel. wow. broken - everything. 

it's not as bad as it seems. it inspires me to produce art. and this, friends, is my calling. 

LOVE

art-panels-o-the-day

It felt good to be be creative this afternoon.
To let my mind wander and simply produce.

The TIme is Now. The Future Within.

(an explanation of the entries below)

I started this blog as a project in art.
To upload a photo collage, one a day every day.
That told a story.
My story. Ideas. What's going on inside my head.
Then I got busy.
(I am)
Life swept me away.
(A hurricane)
SXSW and the present tense now
became too intense.
I was living in GO GO GO.
And continued to do so.
Easter Sunday I uploaded a book almost in it's entirety
that I'd arted almost a year ago.
For redemption.
From my lack of writing.
It didn't work.
I didn't get back on track.
Time past
...
Breakdown.
Reset.
It happened in the time frame i posted real pics.
...
Dinner.
With a friend.
A creative.
On a similar level of brain thinkage.
Inspiration through conversation.
It happened.
Here i go again...

Back to Biznass

Life is roaring. The path is calling. What exactly does it involve?

ART. I must produce art. this much is clear. 

the reality is this...

that i thrive off inspiration that's near. 

i like to give. 

the desire to inspire. 

it drives me.

feeds me. 

won't you be my neighbor. 

my friend.

until the end. 

life is a journey. 

we're in it 

together

as individuals

floating.  

the final voyage.
the last frontier.

Washington DC

Drove around DC for a couple hours en route to Baltimore. Snapped some pics of big important buildings. Yep.

Ol' Virginia

Alrighty! Virginia welcomed us.

We visited a butterfly garden and discovered these woodsy winged butterflies...

were also pretty periwinkle when they fluttered.

At the same place was this "natural bridge" which mom and I trekked to see in the rain for photo ops. The downpour started 5 minutes after purchasing our tickets but we didn't let the fear of getting a little wet stop us.

From here we drove and drove and drove. I've seen LOTS of countryside.

Peace Out: Change-oh-Plans yo!

Bonnaroo wasn't what I wanted. It became evident when as everyone else was assigned to work busily, no tasks were available for me. So I was supposed to sit. And wait around until the festival started two days later. And from here my job was to put on a happy face, be a cheerleader and sell lemonade for a dude who overworks and under appreciates his employees. Sorry. My time is more valuable than this. Lesson learned...

...and so I hit the road with my parents as they just happened to be driving through TN on their way to Baltimore for my uncle's wedding. Family vacation in full effect. I wish sis had been w us! 

Laura's bday was the 13th. I mailed her a package from VA and here's Canon and Cam smiling their *very best* in order to get cake BEFORE lunch. :)))
