I Need muses to live.    2003-05-24 22:15:25 ET

I was now realizing how similar I found the fact that I can’t write well expressing moments but I can came up with lots of ideas when I’m not able to write to the fact that sometimes I can’t seem to draw something unless I’m truly inspired or having an object as model to draw on. It’s like sometimes, at my bed I occur with many ideas that I feel like writing them down, but when I sit either with a piece of paper or in front of the computer I can’t seem to write anything. Then the same it’s been happening lately with drawing: I’m walking by the street or I’m on a bus and see thru the windows or just watching the tv or a movie, I see people, figures, and I want to draw them, but then when I’m in a desk I can’t recall exactly how I wanted the figures and such unless I’m watching something inspiring me… I’ve lost practice.

I have now finished a drawing I started since December of 2002 but I couldn’t finish it right away either because I was busy, I got distracted very easily or because I preferred doing something else, like practicing with the violin or just slacking off. But here it is now. I called it Beauty Study for giving personal viewpoints of beauty about gothic-related. Anyway, two other interesting facts of this is that I scanned it 4 times while it was in progress from the beginning to the end of drawing it, so you can look at how did I start it and how it ended (this is another reason of the “study”); the second interesting fact is that I took borrowed the background from somewhere else… heheh, can someone guess it? Please some guess it! I’ll tell later anyway. Well that’s all I hope someone likes mi art, if not, you’re very welcome to tell me how much I suck. Thanks.

 Back to drawing with earphones.    2003-05-13 19:07:40 ET
Well, I for some while I’ve now been listening to some Cds: Therion’s most recent album (I think) "Secret of the Runes", which is really a good example of metal, symphonic metal. Also from Theatre of Tragedy the “Velvet Darkness they” fear which has a deep gothic dark sound in it, very enjoyable too; still listening to some tracks of Opera IX, and downloaded a few tracks of a group that my violin teacher recommended me: Rhapsody, it’s seem to be like power metal and has a lot of medieval ambient to it; and just some other random tracks of several artists. But even with all these above, I’ve finally made one great playlist which I burned to a Cd so I can listen it, it’s been really time since I didn’t found such great tracks to make a very perfect playlist:
1, 2, 3. Bach – Violin Concerto in E major (bwv 1042)
4. Bach – from Violin Partita No. 3 – Gavotte en Rondeau (bwv 1006)
5. Sarasate – Ziguenerweisen, Op. 20
6. Sarasate – Carmen Fantasy (arr, from Bizet’s Carmen)
7. Bach – Double Violin Concerto in D minor (bwv 1043)
8. Paganini – Violin Concert No. 2 “la Campanela”
9. Bach – from Violin Partita No. 2 – “Chaconne” (bwv 1004)

Definitely one of the best playlists I’ve ever made to myself to listen. Making a total of 80 minutes of music, all good tracks, and like the dessert, leaving the best for the end, a rally excellent melody “chaconne”, if you’re curious to know, it’s one of the best pieces ever written and you shall listen to it to understand why, go download it!! Now!!!

On other news, as I had said before, I didn’t have much time to keep drawing but I recently started drawing again so I’ll finish a drawing for this weekend perhaps. Yep, finally I’ll have something to update on my galleries.

 Bad timing.    2003-05-09 19:30:39 ET
I’m always either misplaced or mistimed on everything. At day when I’m on classes I feel with much encourage for playing violin but I know I can’t, then when I’m on a bus or by the street I want to draw something. At home when I have time to do homework I don’t feel likely to do it. When I start reading something or working on something else I feel so damn sleepy; when it’s time to go to bed and sleep it’s many times when I feel sort of energetic and feel likely to do exercise but I can’t because I now I need to wake up early… the thing is that whenever I feel so likely to do something I’m not in good conditions to do it. Fuck, I’m misplaced at everything.

 What's after a torment?    2003-05-05 18:45:28 ET
I’ve been feeling way too depressed lately; I think it started just when the concert thing started as well… it’s just that I’m not very used to be within so many people… and wanting me to talk. I don’t know, I’m not sure if this is going to pass by sooner or later, well at least just right now I don’t so depressed like the past week, in which I felt really dead-fucked. Just before this I was feeling kind of normal, like apathetic or jus singular, but with this thing happened about the concert thing I decayed so bad. Hopefully This week will be calmer and I’ll try to feel better, I got to see the guys of the orchestra until next Saturday, so it’s like a rest dealing with the children but a missing of be with at least two or three nice people. Strange.
