Sylvia Ji and the Day of the Dead...

Halloween is often seen as a day to just frolic about and party and dress up as scary as u can....however in Mexico, their equivalent: the Day of the Dead is more of a ancestral remembrance day, where they parade through the streets and at the end of the day remember their lost love ones.

I actually stumbled across this artist while watching YouTube videos, but she is absolutely amazing.....her pieces give me a Day of the Dead vibe where in the faces are like the gigantic masks that are paraded during the festivities. But her work has intense sexuality and just a Erie mysterious vibe about them. Her website had this to say:

"Born in 1982, a native of San Francisco,Sylvia Ji's artistic ability is akin to another time and place. Her work encapsulates an alluring beauty that is both cutting edge and a nod to time-honored technique. hauntingly beautiful images brimming with sexual provocation mix with a sense on consternation, hinting that all is not well as it may initially appear."

Her work is crazy...she is in high demand having had her first independent show while still in school. Ji paintings have this time honored appreciation even if they are brand new....she's definately worth watching as a collector's item. though the technique seems simple, the work on the faces are glorious....take a look:












Amazing, nuh tru! I'd not found the names of these pieces but you can take a closer look at her website: http://www.sylviaji.com/

Shes my new favorite artist, man....sorry Salvadore

-Sigh-

C-CCC-COLD!

It is absolutely freezing today!!!!
What's up with the weather, man?!
It snowed in Florida for the first time in 25 yrs. Yow! No man.....Trinidad here i come!

May I

May I
See… through you .
your posturing postulates … and pandering
shrinks my plain eyes to lay parallel on planes
beneath your six inch heels that stand
on my stains.

In your arms
my inadequacies
are cupped in cotton comforts
like cleavage
‘kotched’ between Scotch see thru.
That make up this take up
of taped up confidence.

may I
see thru you
your window sills
the world like fixtures
painting life still.
While my sight rest
Buttressed on stilts.

Without you
I bid time adieu
pandering in my faults
as I pry into my fears…
I see the world-
like affairs…
Trying- to
make out moving stills.
These eyes are strained
before the movie… stills

May I …
See thru your frames
Framed on caricatures of a mother’s pain.
May I…
trespass -
pass your thighs
So I can stop squinting
Like lips
quivering
Like eyes…
Closed
Like legs…
crossed
And lower
lips …
Clothed.

you are the lover I won’t admit to
but pride cowers
and callow
may I seem
because my needs
Can’t nosh in fallow fields.
Seeds sowed shallow
into my field of vision
lacking the luster –of 20/20 precision.
The care in your hands
that caress this world in high definition.

Even though
You are the lover I won’t admit to,
Admittedly
you are the only one
My inadequacies
will submit to.
So again I ask
Panting-
Pleading Please…
May I- see…
thru you?
-Stephan Morrison

I am
tired of singing int he rain
and
screaming my pain
and I'm tired
of letting you go when you know u just want to be near me


Lol.
That's my little rant...:)
So my friend from school Stephan, who is a real asshole but i still love him....I know he's gonna read this....just raised an issue to me: well I added to it.
I said, "Men are simple", after which I went on to explain why I said it (since he asked). Any way it all ended in him telling me to blog about it.

I strongly believe men are simple, not in a derogatory way as in tryna say they are stupid. No they aren't, duh. Men just find life more pleasing. Once they get what they want they're good. They enjoy the simple things and just want the basic neccesities. I mean what heterosexual man are u gonna hear arguing about his shoe color or his haircut or something as, I don't know, rudementary as that?!

Let's face it . Women make evrything hard on themselves. They always searching for the deeper meaning in things. A guy will sit down and enjoy a gorgeous sunset (if he's that kinda guy) while a woman gonna wonder what kinda planetary allignments are in place. A guy will enjoy a glass of champagne while a woman will fuss about its price. Seriously (whether it be too cheap or too expensive)! How many guys you know will take longer to get ready for a party than a girl......very few.....And how many guys you know will have to completly swagg out for sumthing as simple as a bar-b-q....well i k no a few but still...they the minority.

Guy just enjoy life better....Is it becase women are generally more emotional and are always tryna find a deeper meaning in things? How many men you know will annalyze a conversation to figure out if a girl really likes him? I kno evcery girl does that....well he said hi...o but if he said hello well that must mean somthing else...which it might but watever....


so yeah thats my rant of the day...lol

Thought

As a river runs deep,
my soul flows away,
becoming lost in your ocean,
concealed at your bay.
Loveing is losing yourself to a soul
No longer one, but half of a whole.
