Music and Math

I have over the years fallen in love with www.pandora.com, but lately I feel like it's been a godsend! All of this music that i've been getting has been so amazing! I love it! I stumbled upon the music from 'Edward Scissorhands' on my Danny Elfman station. I've heard the music my entire life, and i've always loved it, but just now, while listening to 'Ice Dance' or 'Grand Finale' (I think it was the latter, but I can't quite remember) I had a vision in my head. Walking down the isle to that song! It's so beautiful, and just seems so peaceful and serene and beautiful! If not the song that I walk down the isle to, then at least something! Maybe what the bridal party walks down to or even just music before the ceremony while the guests are getting to their seats. I don't know, I know this is a totally random post as usual, I just wanted to get this memory down before I forgot it! I added the song to my 'dreaming' tab on my bookmarks. These are the visions I am getting from this song for a wedding, whether it will someday be mine, I cannot tell you. And now music from Narnia came on! It's near the end when theyre getting coronated and stuff :) such a good song! That's another movie soundtrack that I absolutely love!

Here's the beloved song...

And here's my visions...

Not being able to sleep = Nostalgia and Drawing!

Invader Zim = Best Show EVER (of 5th grade, at least).

Being Artistic

I miss it.

I miss being able to create something lasting that shows my emotions, beliefs, virtues, and thoughts. I never really was an 'artist' but I really really want to try to become one. I need some kind of creative outlet, not that knitting isn't great and all, but there's just too many boundaries. Knit a loop, on to the next, stitch here knit there, loop and pull. Not really too much lee-way for something new and different. Maybe i'll try to take classes or something. I used to LOVE taking ceramics in high school, and I think its ok to say that I wasn't half bad at it. I think now I could do better. I've been trying to do some drawing lately, but all I really have is notebook paper and BIC pens. I want color and life and I want to create something where someone can look at it and say, "Wow" even if the only person saying that is me. Hopefully maybe someday this blog will turn into an art studio :P Yeah right.

I want paints. Pastels. Watercolors. Sketchbooks. Colored Pencils even, I don't know. I don't know how some people do it, but I want to try. I want to make something to be marveled at for being something different, thought provoking and dazzling.

I have visions in my head and I know what I want to make... but how? There must be a way. For now, I guess i'm stuck in the middle. Between art and doodling. Here's what inspired me to make this new endeavor. I drew this because I felt something about the subject. I miss Sadie! I know her so well and i've been with her so long that I know everything about her; how she looks, the way her head tilts to the side, her color patterns of her fur, and most of all, her personality. Her eyes light up and she smiles with such delight that you can't help but smile back.

Some people might have music that boosts their creativity levels, and I know i've found mind a long time ago. It depends what mood i'm in, and what i'm wanting to draw, but my music for inspiration has been 'Danny Elfman' music. Sometimes it's from 'Edward Scissorhands' or even 'Corpse Bride.' I need to keep listening to this music and hopefully drive my art to new heights.
