If I was anaphylactic, I would be dead by now.
Sister just brought home an asian snack, now my lips are swollen and I’m nauseated.
Why must people use PEANUT oil?
Sometimes I feel like making people more aware of the common food allergies and substitutes when can be made.
I just want to…
Stop trying to kill my Selina people!!!!

It’s me in skull form!! Which is also how all my “art” looks like!!!
I just hate seeing my guitar this way :( Although she should be easily fixable.. Fingers crossed I can get this done. This is why I shouldn’t anthropomorphise everything!!
This is a weird Photoshop picture I made 3 years ago that I just found on my old comp.
I call it the “Reverse Hamlet” and includes my 17 year old head (on the right).
Why do people play “You are my sunshine” at weddings and serenading and such. Does nobody listen to lyrics any more? Here are the original lyrics (commonly only the first verse seems to be sung, but that one is sad anyway, but not as sad as the last verse…). It just seems so stupid to use the song.
Who are the people that inspire you?
For me the people that inspire me are the ‘odd’ and the damaged individuals. The people who go through all the crap only to rise far far above it. Michael Peterson is one of my heroes, he was arguably the world’s best surfer in the 70s and was a brilliant mind but suffered from Schizophrenia. Another is John Lee Hooker, who was completely illiterate and played places in the 40s and 50s he wasn’t physically allowed to enter because of his skin. Oh and as an old man John Lee Hooker would spend time mentoring young artists. Those are just 2 famous examples. I also get inspired by ‘the little people’, the happy buskers I see or the guy pouring his heart out on stage to a minority. Recently I saw and talked to the happiest guy ever who was just following a cat around. He made my month.
Is it people who take risks or are adventurers that inspire you to make more of your lives?
I feel that to achieve something special people need to take risks but I also feel to a lot of people they aren’t risks. John Lee Hooker just did what made him happy. Same with Michael Peterson, he just did what he wanted. Rowland S Howard (who always appears on my dash) took risks with his sound but I’m not sure he saw it as a risk, he just expressed himself. The best people are those who don’t aim for greatness but rather do great things and are simply great people.
What defines an adventurer? A risk taker?
Not sure how you want this answered but I’ll try anyway. An adventurer is someone who explores unknown territory either physically or symbolically, and I think these people are defined by both a creative and curious mind. Who aren’t happy with what they are told or what is accepted but rather seek further, go beyond the boundaries of their comfortable world. A risk-taker is much the same. Both can go badly though when one combines adventure & risk with plain stupidity.
I hope this helps. If not I had a good rant and I like to rant. I think it is the wankiest thing ever written but I refuse to proofread otherwise I’ll change it all from my gut instinct and won’t be very helpful. (and I felt that the reply character count wasn’t sufficient for my ranty mind hence the reblog)
