a little ballad of new pens and pencils


while this little ballad was taking shape, i had a vision of it hanging in a nice museum with people walking by admiring it like how i'd admire a miro or klee. it has the quality; it is my museum piece! :p

recently i have had many thoughts about professional paths. i am seriously contemplating an art conservation course, but at the same time i get distracted when i read these amazing people's blogs about the thesis they are writing, the conferences they are attending, the ideas they are stimulating, and for a moment i'm tempted to give into academia. Or i look at these
amazing people's blogs and think that i should just dedicate to art. But i guess a person can't have all at once, and a resolution must be near.

an art workshop was held at the library last week, run by ghostpatrol and miso. holy cow! i found out she's only 21.

ha, and i had nightmares of my ailing body going around melbourne town pasting up my own illegal street art. oh, how i suffer!

2010 has commenced, and nothing has happened, and now it is april time!

i had so many good feelings about this picturesque new year. but things seem to be down slope at the moment. these are the tasks i will perform to make it all better - 2010 will still kickass:

read 30 books
blog at least once a week
linocut prints
bookbinding
master my digital camera
new road bicycle
persian
volunteering

bang


bang, originally uploaded by magic is mine.



today i turn 29, i have never done this before, but today i thought it would be nice to note the state of my being. i am a little lethargic from a weekend fishing trip and i have just cleaned up my room. I often, still, find it hard to believe that dom and i are holding hands again, and for that, i feel very special in the excitement and comfort of love.

i have been working at the st. kilda library for 5 months now, it is almost a job too good to desire. it pays well, and allows me the freedom to do other things. Yet i have not done as much drawings as i would like to, and sometimes i crave for a more intellectually stimulating environment. so there are still so much to be worked out. i am always conscious that this too graceful stage of stability and comfort will run out, and i am working on it on it.

my creative energy is a bit low but i know it's there. i await the creative bang bang.

i have met some sweetest great new friends. i think about, and dearly miss one old missy, but i also withdraw.

i am listening to oliver mann, who is my new favorite.

i ought to be playing more music and sleeping less in the mornings.

i like sea shells.

new outfit


nice outfit, originally uploaded by magic is mine.


hey today i decided to write more of this blog in the english language, so i can be closer to the people around me. hence the new outfit. but of course there will still be patches of chinese writing which i think poetry and hopefully i will be able to express some of that in the english language.

windy day / nice outfit / babka bread.

後抓先 (later catches earlier: a game)


click on image to see full picture;) okease!



everything look so good in the photos,

然後吵雜的聲音 偉大的志向圍繞著

一直在這裡頭打轉著,還要不停被社會的下一步 人群的期待給推著往下一直走

-----------------------


又回到了原點打轉 在大逃亡之後,

比上次還辛苦的轉著: 是沒有出口的事


就這樣,信念在中心點打轉著
一不小心 就把自己的態度 孤獨的自尊給轉掉了。

然後 everything look so good in the photos

吵雜的聲音越來越難消化。




若干年後,連打轉也沒力氣 像洩皮球般的一直被往前推時
信念在中心點發出了哀嚎 如 lenoard cohen 那般沉痛,

中心點發痛的吼著

the melancholy of undefeatable dongfang



這些日子到底在過些什麼

看似平靜 快樂的日子其實被很深很深的不安和壓力籠罩著
我們溫柔的渡過這些日子 對之後的分離意味著什麼
現在我把整顆心都給你時 天知道我是真的不想讓這一切結束
天知道我這麼這麼的悲傷卻無法改變這一切
那這麼這麼多的美好和柔情我是要怎麼去消化?
我其實是越來越難過 越來越難過

那樣子的難過像脫了韁的野馬 如果沒辦法好好處理的話
會有可怕的事情發生 但我現在除了把她壓在那裡外
還不知道怎麼處理 怎麼想都只是更難過
然後想著之後的論文 下一步 未來 人生 一切都很提不起勁
偶爾會為某個想法興奮一下 我似乎知道會沒問題
但在這個時空裡 這些事情都被真空包裝了 然後就被那不安和壓力麻木著

(失心瘋從這裡起跳的)
