True Art from Echo

It would take a video to fully showcase this work of art by Echo. I can only insist that you go check it out for yourself. This piece is so unique and beautifully created that I can only call it true art. The details that Alyssa Harlow has put into this amazing multifaceted creation go beyond comprehension. Every time I look at it, I discover something new. From an octopus climbing out of the aquarium to a cat on a rumba, the stories being told are both delightful and inspiring. She even did another one for Uber. So, please, check these out while you are out and about shopping this year. This is the kind of piece that reminds us of how meticulous some designers truly are and they should be properly praised for their efforts.

I have nothing left

I messed up. I messed up so big. I just had to say that my good mood was untouchable. I just had to put that out there and the universe said, “Challenge accepted.” Then the universe proceeded to take me on one helluva roller coaster ride. But instead of dipping down and back  up to level  out at the end….this ride went off the freaking tracks. I’m done. I’m not going to write about my life anymore. I’m not going to write anything. I can’t keep pretending that I’m okay and life is all rosey. I tried, because I knew people were tired of reading my whoa is me b.s. So, after today, there won’t be anything to read. Just pictures and credits. It may or may not cost me some blogging assignments & followers. I guess time will tell, but I have nothing left.

Empty Hearts

Oh, glazed eyes, empty hearts
Buying happy from shopping carts
Nothing but time to kill
Sipping life from bottles
Tight skin, bodyguards
Gucci down the boulevard
Cocaine, dollar bills
And

My happy little pill
Take me away
Dry my eyes
Bring color to my skies
My sweet little pill
Tame my hunger
Lie within
Numb my skin

Like a rock I float
Sweat and conversations seep into my bones
Four walls are not enough
I’ll take a dip into the
Unknown, unknown

Cats & Books

If you own a cat and like to read, then you already know. If you own a cat and don’t like to read, but want your cat to pay attention to you…then listen up. Nothing attracts a cat quicker than cracking open a book. I don’t know what it is about these furry little assholes and books, but it has never failed me. The only place I can read undisturbed is in the bathtub. Every cat I have ever had has suddenly felt the need for my attention, the minute I get settled in with a good book.

It Probably Is

Just because you said it behind my back, doesn’t mean I didn’t hear it. Just because you rewrote the story, doesn’t make your version true. There are a lot of people out there rewriting history, but in time the truth has a way of showing its face…no matter how hard you try to hide it. So, if you’re claiming to be my friend, but twisting my words and rewriting my history…well, I’m gonna tell you. That’s not what friends do. I see you. I’ve heard it. I’m watched you and I’ve waited. Now here we are…*tilts her head*…I won’t keep looking behind me. I will proudly move forward and walk away from you in the process. Oh and if you think this is about you, then it probably is. If you have to ask, well…

Frog Prince

She had heard stories about the frog prince growing up, but had never believed they were anything beyond fairy tales. Then one day while walking along the stream, taking pictures of nature…there he was! He even agreed to pose for a photo. He did insist that she get his best side, of course.

Accessorize me!

Well, anyone that regularly follows me here or one of the social media platforms knows that I rarely do close ups. However, going forward I might just start. I’m super excited about this portrait I did with my limited PhotoShop experience. Thanks to my SL daughter, I was able to play with some of the Nik Collection, I tossed on a bokeh overlay I had gotten a while back and here we are…looking at my face! I’ve avoided doing much with accessories and the like, because I never felt that I could give them the attention they deserved. Perhaps there’s a future for me, afterall! Bring it on, accessorize me!!

Last One

With any luck, this will be the last picture edited without the use of Photoshop. I’m taking that break I mentioned before and I’m working on learning some new techniques. I’m using Black Dragon to take the photos and I’m using Photoshop to edit. This is going to be a huge change for me, so it might even seem like my photos are getting worse before they get better. I certainly hope they don’t get worse and obviously, that isn’t the goal, but that’s how it goes sometimes, isn’t it? Take time away from any of my blogging obligations is going to be difficult enough as it is…I don’t know how NOT to blog anymore. So, yes, you will still see some stuff from me, but probably not two or three posts a day. *laughs* I just don’t have the time that I once had, not to mention that I want to make this about quality, instead of quantity. Wish me luck and feel free to contact me privately with any feedback you might have. I can handle constructive criticism. I promise.♥

Looking too closely

This is a song about somebody else
So don’t worry yourself, worry yourself
The devil’s right there, right there in the details
And you don’t wanna hurt yourself, hurt yourself
By looking too closely
By looking too closely
No no no no…

Put your arms around somebody else
And don’t punish yourself, punish yourself
The truth is like blood underneath your fingernails
You don’t wanna hurt yourself, hurt yourself
By looking too closely
By looking too closely
No no no no…
No no no no…

You don’t wanna hurt yourself
You don’t wanna hurt yourself

And I could be wrong about anybody else
So don’t kid yourself, kid yourself
It’s you right there, right there in the mirror
You don’t wanna hurt yourself, hurt yourself
By looking too closely
Mmmmmmmm
By looking too close
Mmmmmmm
Yeah…..
Looking too closely
You don’t wanna hurt yourself
You don’t wanna hurt yourself
By looking too closely
