All My Friends Are Bad Kids

I keep talking about how I've been thrown into these creative modes. I don't think it's a mode. I think it's just... me. I've got a hint of creative hidden somewhere inside of me. Sometimes all I have to do is open the door and it's there. Then there are the times when it's like I'm on this beautiful beach and everything is gorgeous and warm but Tom Gun is telling me to draw a snowy mountain in Alaska. Nothing about that scenario makes any sense and it's very confusing. Anyway, I felt creative today! 

My creative boom came to me yesterday whilst this lovely painting emerged from the gobs of paint and stiff brushes. Oh my crab, that sentence was almost poetic. What, What? Okay this is a recycled canvas (environmentally friendly in the hizzity house!) and some oil paints my dad was kind enough to let me borrow. Is it borrowing if you can't give it back? 

When your feeling especially creative you go online and look at Tumblr. When you go online and look at Tumblr you find pretty pictures of rainbow cakes. When you find pretty pictures of rainbow cakes you go to Martha Stewart's website and try and find recipes. When you look at Martha Stewart recipes you decide to bake cookies. These are dark chocolate walnut cookies. Best fresh out of the oven.

The cookies evolved. I'm getting pretty good at this picture taking stuff. I have instagram to thank for that. 

I scribbled this out on some newspaper while I was waiting for the cookies to come out. I just realized the newspaper is upside down. My OCD is trying hard to hold back tiny organized fits of rage. 

There's a few songs that I've been listening to over and over again lately. They are jumbled in a playlist called 'Insense'. Guess my OCD was tired the day I made it and decided not to remind me that the word is correctly spelled 'incense'. The actually playlist has 36 songs on it. All awesome, however I only want to share the best of the best with you. So this is a list of my favorite songs as of right now. 

(Disclaimer: If you listen to one or more of these songs and find yourself in a coma of confusion, left to lay on your bed helplessly pondering the many wonders of life while mentally replaying the genius lyrics of these songs and humming the magnificent noise to yourself... Well there is no cure. It's a dyeing disease left in the wake of the ever changing pop culture. Don't worry, it is just one of the side effects of what was once called Music.) 

Ocean Breathes Salty- Modest Mouse
