Broken Embrace

As often happens around here it's been quite a while since my last post, so I figured I'd upload my last painting to give a sense of some recent events around here. I don’t know what it is, but I just could not bring myself to blog for some reason. Not much is happening and I'm not the type of person who wants to blog about what I had for breakfast, don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong writing about that kind of things, it's just not me. I've been on vacation for the past 2 weeks which gave me time to paint, and it was about time I did so, the weather had something to do with it also. I just love autumn. On tuesday I'm going to see Gossip at The National and I just can't wait, their new album Music for Men is playing on repeat in my Ipod for months now. It's gonna be a great show. =)

Here's Heavy Cross - Gossip

This Devil's Workday

THIS is why I don't post much these days, The mess on my work desk explains it all.
Oh and yeah, it's a crown on my monitor. Just because ;)

" I love you. And not in a friendly way, although I think we’re great friends. And not in a misplaced affection, puppy-dog way, although I’m sure that’s what you’ll call it. And it’s not because you’re unattainable. I love you. Very simple, very truly. You’re the epitome of every attribute and quality I’ve ever looked for in another person. I know you think of me as just a friend and crossing that line is the furthest thing from an option you’d ever consider. But I can’t do this any longer. I can’t stand next to you without wanting to hold you. I can’t look into your eyes without feeling that longing you only read about in trashy romance novels. I can’t talk to you without wanting to express my love for everything you are. I know this will probably queer our friendship - no pun intended - but I had to say it, because I’ve never felt this before, and I like who I am because of it. And if bringing it to light means we can’t hang out anymore, then that hurts me. But I couldn’t allow another day to go by without getting it out there, regardless of the outcome, which by the look on your face is to be the inevitable shoot-down. And I’ll accept that But I know some part of you is hesitating for a moment, and if there is a moment of hesitation, that means you feel something too. All I ask is that you not suppress that - at least for ten minutes - and try to dwell in it before you dismiss it. There isn’t another soul on this fucking planet who’s ever made me the person I am when I’m with you, and I would risk this friendship for the chance to take it to the next plateau. Because it’s there between you and me. You can’t deny that. And even if we never speak again after tonight, please know that I’m forever changed because of you and what you’ve meant to me. "

Come Pick Me Up

I am deadening. So are we all. I'm not embarrassed to admit that. I expect you to accept it. I'm not too proud. But I don't feign to be something else or start believing in it. I sit here glamorously as I watch late night tv, I sit and dream. I am something more than you'll ever get to see or read.
