Some days, some things find us…
in any life.
Even in paint on a digital canvas.
Right In Two by Tool
TIYSL Snapshot: Will there be enough?
* Raindrops skip and spatter against a liquid mirror, cool, not quite cold to the touch. The sun begrudgingly peels back sheets of night, leaping over mountains, racing across the sea, to paint the first breaths of day across his back. He relaxes clenched fist feeling the ocean wrap around him and, if only for a moment, feels unburdened… weightless… and alive. *
Will there be enough water? by The Dead Weather
TIYSL Snapshot: Lately
*The river grumbles and sighs through a deep cut bed of stone worn smooth by time. He finds the water’s unrelenting complaints calming, a wall of certainty, in a world of opaque and obscure. Eyes closed, he feels the sticky-slick grit of a playing card in his hand, hears the scattershot percussion of a long forgotten song. Slowly, the sound of the water creeps back into his mind and bring the unnerving feeling of knowing. He looks down at the card that isn’t there, aware the song exist only behind his eyes, and wishes he couldn’t remember.*
Beautiful by Eminem
TIYSL Snapshot: Everyone
*he turns the ringer off and sits silently, starring at the flicker flash of the answering machine in the dark. Lifting his hand, once again, he finds himself frozen…. unable to press play or delete.*
Hurt by Johnny Cash
TIYSL Snapshot: Dreamt Them Dry
*Shadows swirl, slithering around and over weathered rocks. His eyes settle on the unstable silhouette of a distant shoreline, blurring through the haze of a sweltering summer day. The fading sunlight dances across the water, playing tricks behind his eyes, as crumples the hastily written note in his hand. He lets the stationary slip between his fingers and float to the ground, watching it it skip and slide across the sand and stone. His eyes follow the paper, as it’s blown into then under the surf, before turning to walk away*
Ghost under Rocks (Passion Pit Remix) by Ra Ra Riot
That might be a slight exaggeration, but the bish did choke me.
Who would have thought Bunny Brickworks, and myself, would wind up in the same pic fully clothed? Stranger things have happened….. I think.
*adjust the ice pack, grinning, with the taste of blood in his mouth*
Are you the Rabbit? by Marilyn Manson
Battle by Gang Starr
PS
Comments are fully functional now, so get to it.
*smiles in a most irresistible manner*
Seriously. We really do. Click the logo and find out why.
In reference to a few IM’s I’ve received recently….
A. New pics coming soon.
B. I am considering doing product reviews. Send me a well organized folder, including product, LM, and a notecard with relevant info. Be careful what you ask for.*
C. I am considering doing SL photography for others. If I choose to do so it will be on my nonnegotiable terms.**
*I won’t pimp your store for freebies. There are tons of fashion bloggers who will be glad to give anything a poorly written positive review for a back link. If you’re not interested in a candid assessment, from someone who knows what looks good, send them your product. It will look great on their train wreck avi.
**On location, outrageously priced, and by appointment only.
Now that we’ve got that out of the way….
I give you today’s TIYSL slow groove:
Summer Madness by Kool & the Gang
Can you think of anything this song would be good for?
*smiles innocently*
Who knew furries were into BMX? I didn’t until I saw this video.
After watching what appears to be a Poetik inspired visual narrative, from the latest alt/indie/pop band, one has to wonder who else is hanging out in Second Life.
Semi-related:
There’s no word on what Hollywood will be calling the new pseudo-Machio, Jaden Smith, in the re-imagining (aka molestification) of Karate Kid, but doesn’t this track have emo montage written all over it? *sands the floor while yelling obscenities*
Daniel by Bats For Lashes
What’s a girl to do by Bats For Lashes
I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting the Rocker Faerie on the grid.
I haven’t caught one of her in-world performances either.
After stumbling across her her videos I plan on making a point of doing so.
Colemarie Soleil’s latest effortlessly demonstrates savior faire through a remarkable fusion of sight and sound. Don’t take my word for it. Just press play.
TIYSL Snapshot: Mr. Self Destruct
* He awakens on the crumbling firmament of the present. Slowly rising to his feet, he surveys the charred ruins of his past with his fist clenched. Turning his palms upward, he watches ash sift trough his fingers like sand in an hour glass, knowing his actions set this world ablaze. He casts his eyes to the heavens as black smoke of an unrealized future billows from the unseen hollow that resides inside him. *
