of pointless ramblings
well, not a whole lot going on in the world of inu. which is a good thing. have a little over a month of school left, counting exam weeks. thats nice. going to be an intense month though. im expecting to be attacked with tests and whatnot before thanksgiving at least, to say nothing of exam weeks proper.

liana and i are progressing in our story. were onto the second revision and weve roped in a proof-reader. i discovered a teacher on campus who has published fiction before, and wrote her asing for advice. hope she answers.

im going to apply to study abroad next year. trying to get in touch with the teacher in charge of that, since i havent the slightest clue how to go about it. unfortunately, i dont know how to spell his name, and i cant seem to find him on the website. its annoying. anyway, inu hopes to go to china for a semester.

i was reminded of this poem (that was actually written for me), and thought id share. you artists out there will appreciate this.

Artistic Passion

"Through the pencil,my mind flows
onto the paper, my emotion goes

Shade away the darkest times
Erase mistakes and painful crimes

Color in the eyes of a friend in pain
bring about clouds, tempests and rain

The world at my penciltip, I own teh sun and sky
Is this what power feels like, what it is like to fly?

To soar above the highest peaks, all by graphite?
should I build my world in love, or crash it all in spite?

Few can truly hold this right, to use it without self.
Those with luck who get it, best leave it on the shelf

For such power can corrupt, even souls so pure
To hold a universe in your hand, is such sweet allure!

Even if that universe, so little in our own
can never be seen, if none are ever shown

Art is a gift, to people who can just enjoy
not just those well-to-do, just a common girl or boy.

So look around and appreciate, what many fight to make
those who struggle to catch an eye, or give a breath to take

Michelangelo took the risk, painted cielings and more
if he stood aside, hed have painted the Sistine floor.

an artist takes a chance, to corporealize their heart
read paintings like a book, a multifaceted art.

Layers to a drawing,both shaded dark and plain
without a source of outlet, an artist goes insane.

So look with heart and eyes, learn to feel the grace
Forget about the comments, look art deep in the face

For in each heart there is, a skill for interpretation
Art is to be enjoyed, meanings for consideration

So give the world a chance, give art some time
with a steady hand and inspiration, all can be sublime"

written by sage. hes good, as you can see.

that was your quote for the day too.
