Snowy Night
Where it's warm here by the fire
Here with you (here with you)
I have all that I desire
It's been a long year
But somehow we got by
Now it's Christmas Eve
And love is on our side
I don't need a hundred gifts beneath the tree
Don't you know the best thing you could give to me
Nothin' else will do,
All I want is you this Christmas
Children sing (children sing)
Christmas carols at our door
Spreading joy, (spreading joy)
That's what Christmas time is for
Though we don't have much
You've got me and I've got you
And with a little faith
Miracles come true
And I don't need a hundred gifts beneath the tree
Don't you know the best thing you could give to me
Nothin' else will do,
All I want is you this Christmas
I don't want the love any other girl
I want only thing in this whole wide world
Nothing else will do
All I want is you this Christmas
Cheek to cheek
The lights are low
A kiss beneath the mistletoe
Your face lit by the fire's glow That's all I want tonight
And I don't need a hundred gifts beneath the tree
Don't you know the best thing you could give to me
Nothin' else will do,
All I want is you this Christmas
Nothing else will do
All I want is you this Christmas

I love you.
Merry Christmas to all.

Cliche Question 2: How Are You?
Normal dialogue:
Person A: How are you?
Me: Fine. You?
Person A: Good.
Ok, now lets just make this entire thing completely honest now.
Person A: I don't give a damn about how you are doing right now, you look hungover and like a cat with a seizure did your hair.
Me: Damn this, I was walking through a wind tunnel and I haven't slept in about 2 days.
Person A: (walk by)
Me: (walk by)
Ok, so maybe the first scenario seems really nice but honestly, if we keep repressing this stuff in some dark twisty place, we're all going to snap one day and then we'll really find out just how "fine" we are.

TWLOHA
Today is TWLOHA, which stands for To Write Love On Her Arms.
-Every 20 seconds someone dies from committing suicide. (WHO)
Literally count to 20 in your head. Think about that.
The purpose of TWLOHA is to put the issues of self harm and suicide into the public eye by using a simple but meaningful gesture.
Today, we remember Antony Dominic, and many others.

Cliche Question 1: What Is Your Major?
Ask any college student what they are studying, they have a rehearsed answer to this question. It's usually a clear, no nonsense answer that is easy to rattle off without thinking. I hate hearing this question. It's a safe question, no doubt about it. Everyone in college has some major. Even if it's "undeclared" it's still somewhat of a hodgepodge of majors. It's such a bland question and it doesn't tell you an ounce of information about the person. You should ask what they are interested, instead of pigeonholing them to one specific thing. By choosing a major, a person has the tools to set down their path in life, but they are not bound to that path. We shouldn't worry about majors as much as what interest them. People who do what interest them are happier and therefore they add more to the world than someone who is unhappy and it caries out of the workplace.
When we analyze art, we look for deeper meaning in it. A critic is
First of all, when we analyze art, when we look for deeper meaning in it, we are enjoying it for what it is. Because that is one of the things about art, be it highbrow, lowbrow, mainstream, or avant-garde: Some sort of thought went into its making — even if the thought was, “I’m going to do this as thoughtlessly as possible”! — and as a result, some sort of thought can be gotten from its reception. That is why, among other things, artists (including, for instance, James Cameron) really like to talk about their work.

Inspiration
The occasional person will look at a piece of artwork and ask me what inspires me.
This is quite a difficult question to tackle, and rarely do I have thick enough shoulder pads to counterattack with a touchdown answer because so much of what inspires me is drawn randomly from my life. Things that I find inspiring derive from vast assortment of situations, scenarios, daydreams, environments, and even little things that creak in the nighttime. I guess it's appropriate to answer the question with another question; "Inspires me to do what?". It is obviously a personal question fueled by one's own interpretation of "inspiration". From there it is easy to see how that opens a whole new can of worms...ok, let's forget the worms, those things are kind of gross anyways.
I mean if someone were to threaten to waterboard me I'd probably say something along the lines of
Literature
1. Stotan
2. A Beautiful Mind
3. In Joy Still Felt
4. Master and Margarita
5. The Little Prince
6. Whale Talk
7. Without You
8. I Can't Tell You
9. 1984
10. Farenheit 451
Recording
1. Vienna by Billy Joel
2. Try Not To Breathe by R.E.M.
3. Warning Sign by Coldplay
4. The Journey by Mpulz
5. Tidal Wave by Owl City
6. In Her Eyes by Josh Groban
7. Finale B by Jonathan Larson
8. Saras Band by Mannheim Steamroller
9. The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel
10. Love of the Common People by Bruce Springsteen
Film
1. The Little Princess
2. Rent
3. October Sky
4. Baraka
5. Dirty Dancing
6. The Notebook
7. The Truman Show
8. A Clockwork Orange
9. I'm Not There
10. Brokeback Mountain
I mean, lists are an easy way out of things, but honestly, I would want an easy answer if I were approaching the alternative of being water boarded. However, this threat is not imminent at this present time, so allow me to take a step beyond the idea of somewhat materialistic things that inspire.
For example, I enjoy a great deal of soft rock and classical music. You might call me an escapist, which is more to say that I enjoy thinking about what the world would be like if it were different...better than it currently is. This thought is odd, but at the same time it puts me within the broad plane of idealism.
Given paint and a canvas I can forget my surroundings yet still be highly sensory. It is almost as if I am closing my eyes to what I do not want to see and directing my focus onto my present object of affection. I love painting material that neither suggests nor blatantly tells me exactly how to represent it. It just sort of falls onto the canvas will a little prodding.
Life is so beautiful, and when I paint the world becomes even more beautiful still because I must pause and focus on the little nuances and shadows that make the sky shine and the clouds dark. I'll be the first one to admit that I haven't figure out a single damn thing about life, but as the days go by the more a realize that I have no interest in living for myself. My focus is much more upon things unseen. I realize that I am being a bit elusive, but it shouldn't be that difficult to discern my true meaning.
Every second is fine because that is ultimately the way that it must be. You can only alter the present, but by the time you are done hesitating it has passed you by.
That alone, unequivical kick in the ass, and reason enough to motivate and inspire me.
