It kills me how much this is all breaking apart the community. I've decided that just because °jark and $spyed can't figure something out themselves it doesn't mean that they should pit us against each other or even let us be pitted against each other.

for now, I'm not supporting the "Yellow Day" or anything that Jark himself didn't come up with. Fair enough?

we've bled so much into
sleeping bulbs under the ground
so they're buds are red
with our quickening
and producing thorns, to stay unpicked,
they draw our fancy and our blood again
which stains the seeds
of another generation of roses
and this is how we live

For the past 2 years I have been nothing short of completely convinced that I want to be a graphic designer. Why?

1) Because I love to create
2) Because I want to make something beautiful that can stand apart from me in it's own beauty
3) Because I know I can make at least a humble living off of it as an occupation
4) Because I can let myself go when I do it and just imagine and explore like I used to be able
to do when I was young, playing outside
5) Because I like impacting people (especially through visual communication)
6) And recently because I think God desires for Christian media to be excellent, including in the
arena of graphic arts, and I think He can use me to that end.


However, tonight I doubted whether or not that's what I wanted to be. It was like it came out of nowhere. I just knew that if I came here and journaled about it I could remember why I love it so much. SUre enough, as I was typing that list above I remembered why I like it so much.

An Idea has just come to me.

I have been in another artists block for some time now. SO I have been seeking to find a new process for creation that will allow me to focus on a vision. I think now that maybe writing about what I want to communicate first will help me to focus on my vision. Indeed. I will give it a try now whenever I need to get the juices flowing. Maybe I'll even start with soe time of prayer and worship and meditation before hand, so that God's message will be my vision.

Be thou my vision
Oh, Lord of my heart.
Naught be all else to me
Save that thou art
Thou my best thought in the day
or the night
