<p>One 2 many cupcakes<br />
Choking on my current state<br />
A painted dream<br />
Is so obscene<br />
Always caught up in between<br />
Finding time to run away<br />
A sacred time for me to play<br />
Deep within my hidden tent<br />
I found myself I must repent<br />
Awaken now u have it all<br />
Awaken now I will not fall</p>
<p>Today is a very strange day&#8230; my feelings are filled with uncertainty. Unsure what to think what to feel what to be&#8230; Like what is this reality? My dog has hardly eaten nor have I. Beyond suffering from a cold I lie. I can&#8217;t deny I want to hide. Go outside and take a ride. It&#8217;s dark and cold were sick I&#8217;m told. Waiting anticipating as things unfold.</p>

I have a fairy tale
I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ve told a few
My moments are enchanted
I vant to be with you
A vampire in disguise
I&#8217;m flying through the trees
Glistening in the sun
State of disbelief
Caught in the moment
Transitioning to the moon
My love shall come along
Just don&#8217;t come to soon

<p>So I know you must be wondering what I&#8217;ve been up to&#8230; I went to Outside Lands this past weekend! I must say Tenacious D was FREAKIN AWESOME!!! My ultimate favorite show. And of course Incubus&#8217; seductive ass! Man that boy knows he&#8217;s cute and will definitely take advantage haha. I missed Atmosphere UNFORTUNATELY! The one band I really really wanted to see. I guess it wasn&#8217;t meant to be.</p>
<p>Outside of Outside Lands I&#8217;ve been working and cleaning fun fun fun! I work for a new company now called Crushpad. I must say it&#8217;s been a great experience so far. Here is an article that talks about some of the people here and what we do&#8230; <a href="http://www.packagingdigest.com/article/CA6686076.html" target="_blank">http://www.packagingdigest.com/article/CA6686076.html</a>. Or you can go to <a href="http://www.crushpadwine.com" target="_blank">www.crushpadwine.com</a>. It&#8217;s a really neat place to be and I&#8217;m excited to learn how to make wine! Most of my time is spent working on the shopping carts for all the wine brands we support <img src='http://artispassion.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I think I&#8217;m going to learn to love wine by the time this is over. I had some mighty tasty bubbly yesterday when we kicked off harvest! Yay!</p>
<p>I know I&#8217;ve been super busy and somewhat neglectful.<br />
I should learn to be more respectful <img src='http://artispassion.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
There&#8217;s just too many things on my mind.<br />
I can barely find the time to be myself.<br />
Focused on health&#8230; happiness and wealth.<br />
Searching for freedom beneath the stealth.<br />
Uncertain.<br />
Still hurtin.<br />
But knowing deep down I will succeed.<br />
Damn this sucks&#8230; I&#8217;m always in need.<br />
So what&#8217;s next?</p>
<p>Final Note — Love thy self!</p>

<p>I feel so happy today. Doing good things for yourself and others is a great way to boost your self esteem. I ordered some flowers for my grandma just because and every time I think about her receiving them my heart lights up <img src='http://artispassion.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I also got my nails and hair done hehe. I feel super accomplished like everything is falling right into place. I&#8217;m going out of town tomorrow yay! I love my family and friends and can&#8217;t wait to spend some quality time with them.</p>
<p>Oh my word&#8230; my dreams for some reason aren&#8217;t as happy <img src='http://artispassion.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  In my dream last night I was trying to take a shower while being harassed by my grandma. I was so angry and irritated. Sometimes I think my dreams are an outlet for negative feelings. I&#8217;ve been pretty happy lately so I guess the negative has to come out somehow. I just wish my dreams could be pleasant.</p>
<p>Final Note — Happy milk comes from happy cows</p>

<p>I&#8217;ve slightly missed my train<br />
Tempted to refrain<br />
I try to remain myself<br />
On my way to a new destination<br />
Without hesitation<br />
This time focusing on my health<br />
A bad thought or deed here and there<br />
But petty to compare<br />
The love I urn to share<br />
Scared of the ridicule<br />
From friends and foe<br />
Trying not to be gay<br />
Searching for a way<br />
To say how I feel<br />
Is this for real?<br />
Insecure for so long<br />
Unsure I&#8217;m worth loving<br />
My heart broken and heart breaking past<br />
Flashes before my eyes<br />
Removing the disguise<br />
I thought I had to hide<br />
Still in disbelief<br />
A threatening relief</p>
<p>Final Note — Train rides are good for the environment and your brain!</p>

<p>Happy valentines day! It&#8217;s my first time having a &#8220;valentine&#8221; in 2 years! Even when I had a valentine I felt broken hearted&#8230; I guess my last valentine wasn&#8217;t the giving type. I&#8217;m not the typical girl but I still like flowers and chocolates <img src='http://artispassion.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Ironically part of me is happy that my new valentine didn&#8217;t go that route. It felt more real than ever. Genuine I guess you can say. Hopefully he&#8217;ll keep up the good work and luckily he doesn&#8217;t know my website address! Haha valentine in your face.</p>
<p>Having it fall on the evening of Friday the 13th was a nice twist. We watched a super scary movie&#8230; He made me a nice dinner. It was pretty impressive&#8230; Food is the key to my heart <img src='http://artispassion.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I think this one might be a keeper. Time will tell.</p>
<p>Oh my valentines day isn&#8217;t over yet! I&#8217;m going to an event tonight called &#8220;Fuck Valentines Day&#8221;. There&#8217;s going to be some crazy performances&#8230; Blood and gore and all! I&#8217;m super excited <img src='http://artispassion.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I need to keep my heart in check haha. I&#8217;m sure this will do the trick. Seeing a bunch of bitter love haters on valentines day is a dream come true <img src='http://artispassion.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Final Note — ALL girls like flowers and chocolates&#8230; ALL.</p>

<p>I&#8217;d like to say something positive. Despite my silent bitter state. A strange sense of happiness. Hearing the powerhouse words of passengers of the same boat. Am I like them? Are they like me? I hear myself in their words. I feel their struggle their passion. A quest for answers.</p>
<p>When spoken in such a manor one begins to believe&#8230; this truly is a silly life we live. Our states of mind fluctuate depending on our current scenario. A constant pretender in this world based on lies. Lust, lack of trust, people of dust my heart has rusted through. I&#8217;m tired of trying to please others. I need to focus on myself.</p>
<p>Final Note — Spoken Word! don&#8217;t knock it till you try it <img src='http://artispassion.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
