Refreshing the artistic eye...

My love for Death Cab For Cutie just grew because of this video...

I love it because I do this everyday.

Everyday I have a goal to find something.  Beautiful.

Occasionally it's the socially acceptable form of beauty.  

But usually it's something odd, 

like a flower growing out of cracking foundation

or a streetlamp at night

or wind picking up a bit of trash and swirling it weightlessly through the breeze.

You can read more about the concept here.

Dreaming of my favorite highway...

Today, more than ever, I find myself craving the west coast.

Maybe it's the weather...hot, humid, miserable.

But I want nothing more than to go back and see the sites.

To walk among giants.

To seemingly drive off the edge of the earth.

To be left breathless.

To sit here...forever.

And thank the artist who created it all.

Where beauty lies...

After watching BBCs Perfect Private Parts last week, I needed a lift...this video did just the trick!

Fitting of my current mood...

When pop music meets art...

Oh, this print from arrikworld

I don't know why I love this so,

but I do.

One of those artistic things...

odd, weird, painful, beautiful...like Lady Gaga's performance at the '09 VMAs.

And then the reality of it hits.

Some people shave away at the outside, forming themselves into

society's idea of perfection.

Other's shave away at the inside, working to find

their own version of perfection. 

Those that consume themselves with the external,

also judge others based on the external...what is seen.

And those that consume themselves with the internal,

judge based on the internal...what is felt.

And I am...

a feeler.

Warming up winter...

I am adoring this print from papermoth

A-dore-ah!

I love my morning coffee and

wimsy&spice has the perfect addition

maple...marshmallows!

Then, of course, you'll need a new coffee mug

from kimwestad

I'm just smitten with the tiny details on this mug!
