Safe Mode and other movies



Does your life sometimes feel like a movie? When an emotion just swamps you and no one seems to notice or care and you already know of the perfect song as a soundtrack to that emotion and it feels so much like a movie you're surprised when no one jumps out and yells, "CUT!"

Actually, you're disappointed when it turns out to be real life and more importantly, boring old you merely having another rage at life. Reality seeps in like water into a sinking boat and BAM! Your safety switch is flicked and your brain reboots  in "Safe Mode" allowing you to come to terms with what has just happened to you by viewing yourself as a character in a story or a movie. You feel pity for this character. You feel sympathy. But the connection has been broken. And that is what safe mode is all about. Protecting you from reality...and most importantly yourself


I'm in  a panic because I can't use my graphite tablet to its full potential. I don't have photoshop.
I don't have photoshop
I don't have photoshop
I don't have photoshop!

So I end up drawing stick men. For crying out loud! I'm an art student at a prestigious university and I'm drawing stick men!

Tomorrow I will post up a picture of my dollhouse I promise.

Please comment. Please?
Anybody there!?
