Let Me In

I’ve been waiting
Out here in the rain,
Been debating
Whether you’ll ever let me in
Again

Slowly time comes
To a halt when I think of you
And then nothing’s moving
And I begin to die

Let me in
Let me live
I’ll lock up
I’ll never leave

I’ve been waiting
Here by the water
Longing for some words
To come from you

Quickly time comes
Right before my eyes
I haven’t lived at all
Since the day you left

Let me in
Let me live
I’ll lock up
I’ll never leave

well you see it’s time we agree,
that maybe we’re lonely, but someday we’ll see

love in the face of the ones you used to hate
and hate in the face of the ones you once loved

so give it all up, put your hands down
no ones gonna love you like i can
so give it all up, put your hands down
i don’t wanna fight you

have we been so afraid to feel
everything’s been moving
and i can’t seem to heal

bright lights in the place where we once loved
calm nights in, never seem like enough

so give it all up, put your hands down
no ones gonna love you like i can
so give it all up, put your hands down
i don’t wanna fight

i want to see eternal sunshine of the spotless mind again..
i love the idea of being able to erase someone completely..
someone that once mattered so much to me..
because i hurt so much..
every single day..

Title: “Faces”
Media: Digital Photography
Artist: Arturo Olmos

This came about not only through the longing of having a picture of the moon but also because I was thinking about everything that we learn. How we always question whether things are real or not. Twin Sister says in one of their songs: “I can’t see the other side of your face, but I know that it is real.” It’s strange that we only ever see this side of the moon, always, never will we ever see the other side from earth with our own eyes. But we know that it is real. Or do we? What do we know?

Why must you be so darn cute? (:

Title: Scales

Scales is inspired by a young love who has an obsession with fat people and the ocean. This piece is a work in progress. It is all held together by one screw, cds are overlapped and held in place with the tension of one cd.

Artist: Arturo Olmos

‘Wildflowers Growing’ is the very first piece of my art a day project. I’d like to see my art transform in the time span of a year. Came across this during a clients shoot when I noticed there were no ‘Wildflowers Growing’ any where near the sign. Made me think about all of the things that get lost. Things or people that serve a purpose in the world but simply need to find out where they belong.

Twin Sister - Phenomenons

What a fantastic group of individuals. It’s like the ignorant “indie” word dies and music is appreciated for what it is. Not hate it because it is too mainstream or love it because it has yet to be known. You striving to be too different is unattractive. Be yourself, and love what you listen to because it sounds and makes you feel good. Twin Sister offers an 80’s type feel in their sound that completely makes me want to Jerry Curl my hair and get in the dance floor. Their songs are the kind that end up getting stuck in your head for a week. Dive in, mumble those words everywhere you go, it’s worth it, very very good stuff. Enjoy!

"If You've Lost Your Mind" Chapter One

Mon, 04 Jul 2011 20:25:33 -0600

The following is an excerpt from a book.. that is yet to be finished and published in tangible print..

“You, dear reader, have time. which is most likely the reason you are reading this book. If the reason is because you have misplaced your mind, or you just like being nosy, then kudos to you, you are human. You enjoy the feeling of physical and mental comfort. Comfort to you might fall under the infinite categories having to do with the following: a warm body to hold, a soft blanket, dry shelter, a solid goal oriented mindset, or my favorite, being sane. You are an energy produced and maintained by space and time. Your thoughts and physical activity all are causes of what you eat and everything you have ever experienced. Most of what we do is based on feeling. If this makes me feel good, then this is what I will do. If this makes me feel bad, then this is what I will try to veer from. Many of us do not know what makes us feel good. We try so hard to attain this feeling at the end of an infinite road, this feeling is called happiness. This is where we often tend to lose our minds.

The definition of happiness can be extremely controversial. How do you know you are truly happy? How do you know that the road you are on is taking you to the place you want to be? Is it because a map tells you so, or because you have been there before? I ask because I have yet to know a person from the future. Trust lives next door to happiness, and they do not talk much, though they have many things in common. For some, trust comes quickly, and happiness follows shortly after. When you trust someone, they can make you happy, because what they say and do is real to you, and nothing is better than something fantastical being real. Lets not get into the nasty endings on those happenings, they’re not important. Some people tend to not trust so easily, and even a hint of happiness is absent because to them, nothing people say is real. Not all will relate to this, which is why I continued to write.

Now, lets draw the line between happiness and not feeling lost. If someone is happy, they might jump to the conclusion that “something has got to be right if I’m feeling this way.” “If I’m depressed, I’m not where I need to be, I am lost.” So in some sense we can relate happiness to the security of not being lost. Now there are many things that are wrong with what I just wrote. The first being, that you believe that happiness is closely related to the security of not being lost, which is not true. The truth is that, we can never attain complete happiness, and the mind, over time, has evolved into being resistant to this feeling. In some sense just as bacteria becomes resistant to certain drugs and medications. My point is that we are constantly changing, things that were funny 50 years ago, are not as funny now. Things that made us smile are no longer as sweet or fulfilling as they used to be. As depressing as all of this might sound, I hope you’re looking at the brighter side of this picture. That the demand for creativity is higher than ever. People get bored, tired, and exhausted which is why they long for funnier things, shinier things, more loving things, more fulfilling things. Change is something you’re going to have to get used to if you want to find your mind. This leads me to the second thing wrong with my statement about happiness, that it can be extremely temporary, and we cannot only temporarily have a grip on your minds, so happiness cannot be counted on, when striving to feel “found”. We have to set our thoughts in this mode. This mode I like to call, “ The Tangible Goal.”
