Behind the Mask a Little

I want to move out closer to the church, further from Humble. I want to work hard at this job because I believe that this was a good move. I want to rent an apartment above someone's garage, tithe my talent to the Lord, and then go home, write about it, and start having that two way radio conversation that me and Our Lord had back in two-thousand and seven; picked fresh from the tree, and enough for canning.

Oil

It drives me crazy whenever people have objections to oil brands. Not because I think they are wrong in their objection to a product, but because the reality is that they are only sold on a brand; the average consumer rarely does any legitimate research on the scientific evidence of whether or not a petroleum product is good for their vehicle.

"Louisiana" or "Acadiana; it was washed away"

20130430-081753.jpg I've seen so many people while I've been here over the past day. It was my original plan to leave late last night, but after waking up at 6:30 pm on Sunday, only to drive to Louisiana, and spend the entire dark morning hours with my Grandmother; followed by a complete day of visiting everyone I could possibly could here--I was done for come time night fall on Monday.

I was wondering how long it would take before this new perspective of forgiveness and grace for the Cajun Country would stretch to before the fine--yet strong--threads would begin to pop under the tension.

This was the place where the music of "Capaign One;" and "Aquarian Floods" began; This was my home.

Wrapping for Acadiana

20130419-020052.jpg

So I've begun prepping my work for Louisiana; I'll be bring many copies of "Campaign One; " with me. I have a lot if thoughts in my head about it, and how my tour of the Acadian Coast should play out, but I'm sure it will be great--however it happens.

I'm packaging my circles in an issue of Mike Kelly's Kingwood Monthly--or as it was known at the time, "This is Kingwood"; I believe it is most appropriate because I was given the opportunity to write an article about Lynn Beckwith, That Car Lady. It was a fun experience.

I will be bring a piece of the Lake Houston Area with me by wrapping them this way. As one could tell, the ad for Shank Wealth Management will clothe my discs beautifully with the same kindness that is offered by their great staff--one of which I have come to know well: Tammy Nigro.

I'll also have digital copies of Aquarian Floods available for sale; conveniently enough, they will stay on my key ring because of the flash drive given to me by my friend Devan Cooper Jackson at CenturyLink in Kingwood.

I'll have more details soon on how to get copies of Campaign One; and Aquarian Floods in Acadian in the next few days!

Lunch Hour @ The Porch

20130412-132507.jpgI've come to love my lunch hour on my porch a lot.

I'm finding that sleep is hard to come by when on vyvance, but I'm hoping that it levels out to the point that I'm able to put myself to sleep with no issue; even before the medicine, however, I had this problem. I'm not interested in being medicated any further than I am right now

I'm planning for--that a year from now that I'm at a good enough place with myself, my spirit, my mind, and with Jesus.

Jesus Loves You;

It can be quite a trite saying, but still remains all the more true. He is a good God who pull the strings of my heart, and fills the cup of my soul. Despite my sinful nature, he loves me all the same.

He has begun to tare away at the stone and ice sheets.

Victoria Beckham

victoria-beckham

This is a picture of fashion designer Victoria Beckham, as she appeared along side her business partners from the late 90's for what now seems like could have been the last time. It's not as much sad for me as these types of things were in the past. I believe that Victoria Beckham has risen above the rankings of a late 90's pop phenomenon, and into the world of the designer  or--perhaps better said--the artist.

Her pieces have a theme that runs through them; at first one can see something slightly masculine [at least for such a beautiful woman to create]; then the fragrance of herbs from another world [a proud Brit she is]; and then the subtle touches of indescribable details that weave themselves together to demonstrate quality in the art as a sold good. Those details are what makes her brand unique.

The product is priced in four digits. It's as if one were to go to an art galleries open house  and purchasing a blouse  on display for the dinner party that would follow. I wouldn't say that I'm an absolute fan of her work, but I am a fan of her determination to express herself through design and fashion. I believe that the fashion designer differs from that of a painter or a musician because the medium is the "perception of yourself by another" ----?-----if that makes any since at all...

Tomorrow my CD is slated for delivery.

A thought occurred that it could deliver me.

But not by the trappings of what could follow,

But the confidence that will ensue.

Cymbalta & a Renewed Subscription

20130408-150906.jpg One thing that love about coming to Dr. LaGrone's office is how beautiful it is inside of here. It really distracts me from the fact that I'm actually here to keep from going crazy. A lot of times when I refer to my depression as "crazy" people tend to retract, and sanitize the circumstances.

No---please let us not fool ourselves.

I've been very comforted by my technologies lately. The blue-tv-screen-light, and the light ticking of a hard drive from the late aughts. I've always kept a handheld device with me, even whenever it was just a Gameboy Color. It's nice to reach out to the digital age through my thumbs.

It brings to mind: robots would make good pets; but the truth is that robots are good pets, they are just not as complex or interactive as some might think they should be in order to be deemed Robots.

Becky is in town today; I'm excited that she gets to be here for whenever I get my record. I'm further excited about being able to share the disc with the people that I love the most first--before the campaign actually begins.

Great things are in store;

I can see what you're doing, I'm glowing, You're moving, I'm being reeled in. It seems you did feel me, Whenever I tugged the line. What is to follow? "Requesting Permission to Land"

Posh Spice

Spice Girls; Victoria (animated) Spice Girl Gifs (2) Spice Girl Gifs (3)

It's really funny I think; Posh Spice was probably the least influential of the Spice Girls during their success in the late 90's, but once the Spice Girls fell off the charts, she was the one to have the most success as an individual. I think it's sad that she's retired from her role as a Spice Girl. It really seems like a sore subject whenever I hear about it in the media. Maybe one day she'll return to Spice Up Our Lives... but in the mean time, I choose to remember her like this.
