Dear Jack Frost...There is only one thing I want this year,More Like This
So, please, lend me your ear
I'm not interested in kisses under the mistletoe,
I really just want a ground covered in snow
A white Christmas, my dear Jack, is all that I need,
Not boxes with bows or a Christmas tree;
No, my desire is much simpler,
To give way to a sparkling new year,
Just cover my town with ice and frost,
A gift that really has no real cost.
Because I miss the snowflakes and the biting cold,
This warmth and rain is truly getting old.
So, please, grant my wish this year
And fill my December with holiday cheer.

That Girl In The MirrorHappiness will remain forever out of reachMore Like This
When love from your life you omit
To the girl in the mirror; you are beautiful
Yet somehow you never quite fit
Not the girl they thought you’d turn out to be
When you were a neonate child
Born with a raging heart and a raging mind
But with a manner ever so mild
Your scars aren’t always visible to them
And not only hidden under attire
Lacerations to the mind are just as abhorrent
When memories and dreams conspire
So girl break the mirror if you have to
And reflect on your life as a whole
Do you really want to spend the rest of your days
Behind a façade of self control?
Please be strong

After a few moments, her eyes flashed open with a bright, blue glow and she began to sing. Her voice was incredible and like noting I had ever heard before or would ever hear again. As she sung, I found myself quietly singing along with her, even thoug

The game of minds is a difficult task
Even when you hide behind a mask
Friendships can be easily made
But just one wrong choice and they will fade
It can be fixed but the bond wont be strong
And all we can say is where did it go wrong
Those that play jokes like to merely taunt
They have no idea who it haunts
Not a thought nor wonder crosses their mind
Makes you wonder are they really kind
Happiness can be easily lost
No one cares no matter the cost
Sadness consumes you while you lie and wait
By the time they care it's far too late
The game doesn't end not a pause nor halt
While we continue to say its the other's fault
This game is boring, I'm done, I'm through
I hope you feel the same way too
Honesty and trust will destroy the past
If you want this friendship to still last
Silence and pride are tearing us apart

Canvas sizes - inches and dpi and pixelsThis is a sort of guide on canvas sizes, inches, dpi and pixel x pixels.More Like This
when it came to canvas sizes, I always kind of assumed that inches belonged with dpi and pixels were just pixels and that everyone knew that; but i read a whole bunch of comments on a tumblr blog where someone asked about canvas sizes, and SO MANY people were replying with things such as, "4000x4000 px at 300 dpi" or "2000x2000 px at 200dpi".
and I guess not everyone quite understands what dpi's really used for xD.
DPI = Dots per Inch. It means how many dots will be printed per inch.
DPI is actually used for printing purposes. It shows the printer how much pixels to print per inch, literally. A common printer (at home or even at a lot of printing stores) at best prints at 150dpi most of the time actually; there are some super duper great printers that can print REALLY fine that can go up to ...apparently a lot more xD; #dpi, so that's why everyone usually suggests saving your project at 300dpi; most printers are f
The New Street Photographer's ManifestoFebruary 7, 2013/by $techgnoticMore Like This
Street photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson called it the “decisive moment”— the captured instant when all the photograph’s elements come together to tell a story in a way a text narrative of thousands of words could never begin to. It is what hooks people, both practitioners and advocate-devotees, on the art form. It is uniquely completely immersive in life— step out into the streets— in which the moment of artistic epiphany can never be guessed at until it suddenly happens. When it is properly mastered, it is as pure as the dawn of each new day, as true as the living organism of a teeming street scene catching a breath as one.

I could probably talk your ear off for a mile and a half about why I should be the last person you ask for creativity-boosting advice. Aaaand I have my reasons for this, but that's not really what anyone who writes me wants to hear, I think. It's just a fair warning. I'm not an accredited teacher, I was far from the most capable person at my college, I've made a metric crapton of mistakes, and I am nowhere near where I'd like to be in my own personal artistic endeavors. If that doesn't bother you, well, keep on reading!

A fading sun watched over the bay from a grey sky. Stripes of shredded brown cloud were woven into the ashen cover and, hanging over the sea in the distance, was a black fog that stretched over the salty waves. The fog was a screen of airborne arsenic, toxic to touch and vile to observe. The sea under the fog was a rusted iron colour, brushed with beige foam lines and in the bay, the water was a soup of plastic fragments and algal slime. The algae formed a crusty, crumbly edge where the water met the gravel shore, and on the young beach were piles of poisoned seaweed, corroding metal sheets and stained plastic. A sour, acrid mist filled the air, a cloak of acid only slightly less damaging than the black fog that slept over the sea. The smell of sulphurous oceanic algae persisted everywhere and the coastal wind didn't help, only serving to push the intolerable stench further into the bare landscape of dead trees and dry, dusty brush.
