A Wicked Life

I couldn't choose between these two tracks. One with Waters, one without. I love them both. I recently re-watched American Psycho and this song fits in nicely. While one could argue that Patrick Bateman was just plain bat shit crazy, what about Pink? "...in the suite case on the left you'll find my favorite ax." "This just a passing phase..."  "Would  you like to learn to fly, Would ya?! Would you like to see me try?" One Slip tells a different story. To me it talks about two people that get caught up in a shit storm after a moment of weakness. Their decision spirals them into what they feel is oblivion.  Then drowned in desire, our souls on fire I lead the way to the funeral pyre And without a thought of the consequence I gave in to my decadence  One slip, and down the hole we fall It seems to take no time at all A momentary lapse of reason That binds a life for life...

Ever try? What about the myths of dreaming? If you fall and hit the ground in a dream you will die in r...

Do you paint? Draw? Write? If not, have you ever wanted to? Why not give it try? Add it to your 2014 goals. Paint a picture!  My parents are artists. In fact most of my family are artists in some fashion. I don't do nearly as much as I should. It's therapy. An escape in thoughts... visions. I started back in the 1990's doing oils and mostly surreal work.. Then I kept going. I love drawing faces...This one I did of an older woman's picture on the back of a Reno News and Review magazine. To this day I couldn't tell you what the picture was for or who she was. My pencil was the "Fountain of Youth" that day!  Of course like every artist, I have a little bit of a darkside... ;) I would never suggest doing a checkerboard theme unless you are really into torture. The first one I did with the rose, should have taught me a lesson.  I started listing my work online then a couple of of art shows. I received a lot of compliments but no one really ...
