So I found this really fantastic artist by the name of Jacek Yerka who’s just really insanely talented and has some of the coolest ideas, and I thought I’d share some of my favorite pictures here with you.
Enjoy!

So. Freaking. Cool.
This person has more talent in the tip of his pinky than I have in my entire body.

Ageless dreamer, I wont wake you up.

(Listen to this song while you read this).

I’m kind of in a blog-writing mood, mostly because I feel like typing, but not like typing something serious, and I don’t feel like working on one of my many unfinished stories, so I settled on writing a blog, even though I just wrote one, what, yesterday? I feel like I should blog more than I do. Not because I feel like I owe it to the few people who read my blog, but because I owe it to myself.
I had this idea last night in the shower for a story, and it’s kind of like a Fahrenheit 451/1984 (the former I liked, the latter not so much) thing. Essentially it takes place in the future, where all writing is illegal. Anyways, this got me to thinking how much I undervalue the ability I have to write. To put my words out there in whatever way I wish and know that whether or not anyone ever reads them or places any value in them, I still wrote them, and they’re still there. It’s almost a comforting thought. Even if I don’t write anything that’ll make my name known, at least I can still say I wrote knowing it wouldn’t get me anything, and I hope I never stop. Now this brings me to another thing that I was thinking a bit about yesterday.
Apricotpie.
I haven’t posted anything on Apricotpie in six months. That’s half a year. And for all my absence on that wonderful website, I still think about it frequently. I don’t show myself as present with posts or comments, but I do check back often. I like to see what my favorite writers have been up to. I love reading things that other people write, in a way it makes it easier to understand them, or as John Green would say, to see them complexly.
Anyways, I’ve been feeling like I really need to write something for Apricotpie. Of course I have next to no ideas. I would write a poem, but I listen to music constantly anymore, it’s always on in the background, or the foreground, the middleground, and everywhere in between, so my mind is never really completely empty any more. I believe that when you sit down to write a poem, whether you have an idea to start out with or not (which I usually don’t) you need to have your mind clear, not full of all the verses and choruses of all the great lyricists you wish you could write like. This is the main reason I haven’t written any good poems lately. And then I think about writing a short story, but then I can never seem to tie them together or give them some kind of meaning in the end. Or get past the first few paragraphs. I wonder if there are many people who have these problems. I love writing, but it just doesn’t come to me very easily. Not like it did when I first joined Apricotpie (though to be fair the things I wrote then weren’t as good as what I know I can write now). My writing style has changed considerably over two years. I wrote this short story called Ms. Kelcey, well over a year ago now, and recently (over the last couple of months) I wrote a kind of beginning to a second part of it, and when I read it back to myself, and then read Ms. Kelcey it was really obvious how much my writing has grown. I don’t know, maybe I’ll post it on here some time and see what you guys think of it, and see if I should continue with it or let it die away with all the rest of the stories I’ve started but never finished.
Really I aughta be thanking Apricotpie, because if I hadn’t joined that website over two years ago I wouldn’t have considered writing my thoughts.
Anyways, I’m not sure how I got onto this road of thought, I’ve just been letting my mind wander and my fingers have been typing down all the places it’s gone. Honest, I wasn’t planning on this being all serious and sappy.

In other news, I want this camera lens, but it’s so expensive!! That’s like five paychecks :\
I guess after I have my room all done I know what to save up for next.

“You know,” said Arthur, “It’s at times like this, when I’m trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space that I really wish I’d listened to what my mother told me when I was young.”

“Why, what did she tell you?”

“I don’t know, I didn’t listen.”

Sorry, I’ve spontaneously begun reading The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy as of yesterday. I find it all very amusing. However that is not what the topic of this blog will be, I just thought I’d start of with something lighthearted and completely unrelated to the subject I am going to address, which I’ve written about on numerous previous accounts.

As I’m sure you’ve noticed, I changed my blog theme. The reason for this is because I was completely sick of the other one, which I’ve had since I first got my WordPress account, well over a year ago now. If you are a longish-term reader of my blog you will know that I’ve wanted to change my blog theme for a while now and you will also have seen some examples of what I want in some of my past posts. The current one I want is a spin-off of this theme. Essentially it’s this theme with a bit of my own code tweaking to change the colors, font, etc. I would have that theme right now, in fact I got so close to having it as holding my Dad’s credit card (with permission of course) about to pay for the completely ridiculous 15 dollars it takes to subscribe for one year to the CSS editing thingummy. However, since the last time I looked at the page, roughly a week and a half before, they’d changed the way you pay it and now only allow you to pay the 15 dollar upgrade through paypal, which neither of my parents (or myself, for that matter) use. So that is why you still see the monotone grey background, and these colors which are not my own, as opposed to what I’ve shown you before. Annoying, yes, but I’ve learned that WordPress is one of the most frustrating websites in existence. Tumblr is much nicer because it actually allows you to edit your theme and make it look any way you want. And get this, it lets you do it without requiring you to pay for the ‘privilege’. I know I shouldn’t care about something so frivolous as a blog theme, but I do, and that’s me. I care about these kind of things, I really can’t help it.
So WordPress = stupid, and me = annoyed.
Such is life, it seems.
This is at least some kind of improvement from the last theme.
