My brother (yes) showed me these a couple of days ago, and I thought they were brilliant.

In my constant travels trough the internet I found some cute artsy text graphic, those with funny/inspirational/sarcastic/indie-trash quotes/phrases.
Sorry for the ... position, Blogger refused to display it horizontally
This one in particular was a guide to life, how to live with no regrets.
It took me the whole thing to realize it was meant for girls only, so I'm not planning to run the streets holding my bra (I don't have one).
But I considered a few others.
Like drawing with crayons :]

Sorry for the quality... but i guess that by now you're used to not seeing artwork of great magnificence around here D:

Music landscape

Find your country.
(try it not to be country m.)
The landscape of music.
I found this the other day and while it is not art per se, I thought it was a very interesting project, plus it helps in the never ending construction of the infinite playlist.
Will there ever be such a thing as -enough- outside the abstract thought? Can there be enough of something we want or need? Are we ever loved enough? Can we feel safe enough? Can we live enough?
I believe ambition, greed and such root in an endless source of needs, craves, feelings of emptiness that somehow we need to fill. And while it serves as a very -let's say- useful poetic resource, these infinite urges for something we can't quite make up what is, are destroying us, constantly. I can only wonder if there is an eternal supply of wishes we could have, and how can they go.
And what do we have to stuff the holes?
Things?
People to love?
Drugs to consume?
God?
Do we only need for someone to need us?
I could make an endless list of addictions. And while there are some healthier than others, they all take up to the point where we call it an addiction -being dependent of something-, having an infinite need of.
I'm not complaining, I'm aware these is what drives us, what pulls us towards something sometimes greater. It is motivation.
But does it ever stop? The craving, the search for something new and better, the feeling of never being whole.
Is there a way out?
Illumination perhaps?
Satisfaction?
Death?
100 years of

Today I saw this article which I'm not really sharing so I can have creative freedom reporting it. Said article stated that the three main conditions found in people who live over 100 years are vegetarianism, no alcohol consumption and a strong religious lifestyle. This sounds about right, while vegetarianism is sort of controversial and there are lots of studies and to be honest I'm not an expert, but let's face it, reducing all the cholesterol and fats that much can't be so bad for the heart can it?
Then, the alcohol... well, liver damage has long term repercussion, I suppose that you don't get as far as 60 when you're a hardcore alcoholic. Again, I'm not documented enough to pretend this is accurate. And then, religion. A strict discipline makes up for the most rigorous lifestyles, which can in a long term be beneficial. Obeying, being good to others, having an unexplainable certainty that somehow it will all be alright; that must make for a very calmed life.
I suppose that tranquility is the key word of all this. No artery stress, no liver stress, no existentialist stress; it's sounding more and more logical huh? I could easily believe this.
And I do.
To live long you have to be a religious-sober vegan.
But you know what?
I love meat.
I love booze.
and more than that
I love blasphemy.
To live those 100 years would be like no living. What point is there to life if there is always peace and quiet? What's the point of going on a roller coaster if it is a plain ride?
Keep your 100 years.
I'll keep my unhealthy life.

Well, I got this site from wickedpaedia, and I thought it would be fun. I used Mr. Penguin's Jenny the Student. And here's the result... What do you think? Kurt. :D
(Disclaimer: I have no idea how this works... it might as well be a lame scam... but it's fun.)

Don't Conform

I ♥ PostSecret
from: PostSecret
But this is definitely one of my favorites.
First of all it's a somewhat good picture, and the arrangement is artsy. But the message "I don't feel like I have to conform when I'm with you", it's just too sublime.
I mean, I will never know what did the author mean, and what secret exactly is he/she keeping, but the way this gets me has a deep meaning. Given the whole mess and huge confusion there is in society, the complex entanglements we've made in these relationship tangos, conforming seems like a way out of the mess. Conforming is also the dead of living young and free, there's nothing less romantic than having to live with something we didn't want just because of fear of not finding something better or because that's how life turned out.
Conformation feels so spirit breaking in so many levels, we'd all like not to ever feel it, or so I hope.
The secret is proficient too because the way I see it, there are many things you look for in a friend or a partner of even a booty call, but there's no such a thing as the perfect person for you; so to find someone who you can tell -there is no conformation next to you- well, I bet there are few things in life that feel better.
See for your self...

How it begins
Posted by I'm the penguin | Posted in | Posted on Monday, June 14, 2010

I guess it's only fitting that I too make a reference to Adbusters #72
This is how it begins:a few people start breaking their old patterns, embracing what they love (and in the process discovering what they hate), daydreaming, questioning, rebelling. The only thing missing is a perceptual shift- a tantalizing glimpse of a new way of being- that suddenly brings everything into focus.

this was re-posted here due to a time travelling paradox (ok ok I messed up with the dates... ¬¬)
[via: Behance NETWORK]
Sometimes I'm afraid that when I grow up, I'll make a habit of pretending to be other people. That's the charm of twenty-first century living, isn't it? Let's play make-believe! I'll make up life stories for entirely fictional characters, with fictional friends and fictional accents and fictional personalities. I'll write books about these individuals and act each one out in real life to figure our precisely how people might react. I'll make charts and record, revise, rescript and edit. I'll dress up and play the part, with hair and makeup and eccentric charm every night; it will all just be a mildly interesting pastime.
...Like people watching.
But with lying and acting and treating people like lab rats, too.

Predetermined allusions to a common figure
Alberto Iglesias

Alberto Iglesias is one of my favorite composers. I have something for spanish music, and there's something about this particular song (Hable con Ella) which I think is very beautiful and painful.
Listening to his work in the whole soundtrack is worth it, as well as his latest work in the movie Broken Embraces,

The so called philosophers

The so called philosophers.
They come and go, each year new faces. They are supposed to talk, supposed to discuss, and luckly bring a new perspective.
Instead they smoke, they trash, they eat, they take our work... But they paid, so...
I heard some opinions of the female conservative side this time, which surprised me (I was filled with predjudices, as I suppose lots would when I say the word consevative). They were really smart, nice and the actual wanted minds in the event.
The professor: he was rude, and that sort of man that has high regards of his own intelligence but is actually quite dumb.
Some others, make me want to cry.
:D
I am aware this is also a post in the future, but I actually wrote that on that day. I want to read back on this blog and remember things. :)

Being filler time as it is, i'll just put phrases that have been rounding my mind these days.
-If this is the life, why does it feel so GOOD to die today
-Hay amores que matan
-I love you so much I'm going to let you kill me
-Forever is composed of nows
...
Not to only restate the ongoing suggestion that I have dead-wish tendencies, but also to ramble around the fact that romance and love is commonly surrounded by dead, just look at the tragedies that have build our western culture. There is no such a thing as free love, as one simple and sweet feeling that will make out hearts rest in completeness. There's always the need of suffering, the broken hearts, the ignited souls.
And that only makes me wonder, isn't that necessary? could we live in a world without tragedies?

Moleskin thing

This has gotten to a shameless point.
I need fillers...
Fillers I shall have.
Moleskin has an ongoing project about taking a picture of what is in your bag (obviously including a moleskin).
In the spirit of all content being original I will do that, for the hypothetical case I used a bag...
