lines of communication

Communication-
college def.--a process of transferring information from one entity to another. Processes which are nonverbal and verbally mediated interactions between at least two agents which share a repertoire of signs and semiotic rules.
real life def.--something that holds all forms of relationships together.  If it is lost at any moments a gap can be formed causing distress, unhappiness, confusion, and often the end of something true and real.

Today, I saw a viewpoint of communication through a 40yr old unhappily married man.  The sadness in his face and the glass look in his eyes told the real life definition of the word.  The phrase in which is souly responsible for his confusion and loss.

Today, I saw a small viewpoint of a 20yr old just like myself who hasn't quite developed a full personal definition for the word but most definitely knew what it wasn't.




Today, the silver lining. . . amongst the hardship of my own miscommunicated life, knowing the value of communication whether it is strong or weak, it must be present or all else fails.

War of my Life

Silver linings are extremly difficult to find in a time where most are thankful they are surrounded by family.  That being said, I found a song.  It's lyrics hit me so deep and I am entiernally thankful for music.  It's a musical staff line that brings me to my knees in tears of saddness and joy.  Here's to music. 

I've got a hammer



And a heart of glass


I got to know right now


Which walls to smash

It's something that most people understand by only some will be touched in the deepest part of their hearts.  To them, I'm with you.

Ocean Line

Today I managed to screw up dinner, sealing the windows for winter, finding a new pair of jeans, deciding on a black pair of sneakers for work, and probably all sorts of little things. Today, I wasn't going to blog, that's for sure.  But in the midst of all my insanity and my own self pity, a movie presented itself that shed light upon my dreary day of dead ends.  Disney's disneynature movie called "Oceans".  I love the ocean. The fish. The whales. The preditors.  The undiscovered. The over discovered. The exstinct. The endangered. The evolving.  The entire ocean has my heart.  I give money to ocean projects and charities whenever possible and I am a proud contributor to Fish Magazine which supports and helps sustain fish habitats in Indonesia.  Regardless, the ocean, once again, made my line very clear.  See the movie.  Rent it. Buy it. Love it. Cherish it. Share it with others.  You won't regret it. The ocean will thank you.

macro line

Macro is one of my favorite settings on my camera. 
 I feel like it holds a small part of a big idea. 
The inspiration that taking macro pictures gives me is something I can never explain well,
but I like to show it instead. 
Here you go.
Enjoy.

Frosty line of yellow




As I looked out the window this morning, trying to embrace the 8am class that was supposed to inspire me, I realized that there was a simple beautiful that covered the roof tops from the building across from ours. Frost. A slight amount of frost rested ever so lightly upon each and every surface outside. It was 6:45am. It was beautiful. It was inspiring. Halloween is over, out with the moldy pumpkins and in with the cornacopias, bring on Fall merging to winter season. Happy Holidays everyone!

Vote on the line

Today's Message is simple.  Vote.  Voting is something that brings us together, regardless of political views.  Crazy thought, hey?  Hear me out.  Voting, in the literal sense brings us to one place, whether it be a university, a town hall, a city building, or wherever you vote, all of us go to that place to put our two-cents in to our government.  Whatever the vote may be for, you are participating.  You, are making your contribution.  You are a good citizen.  Vote.  Love. Engage.
