Kreativ Blogger

My dear friend Britt of No One Can Remember the End has nominated me for the Kreativ Blogger award! Britt is pretty much one of the most extraordinary people I have ever had the pleasure of getting to know and to love. She is incredible and her blog reflects how passionate she really is. The world is missing out the longer this legend stays in the shadows. So let's shed some light on her and check her out today!

According to the rules, I must:

1. Thank the person who nominated you for this award.

2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog.

3. Link to the person who nominated you for this award.

4. Name 7 things about yourself that people might not know.

5. Nominate 7 Kreativ Bloggers.

6. Post links to the 7 blogs you nominate.

7. Leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know they have been nominated.

Here comes the lucky seven...

1. I love art. I love looking art. Buying art. Drawing, doodling, cartooning, painting, photography... I find meaning in the colors, the shades, the subjects, the style... I love looking at the world around me and try to capture the moments so that I can revisit them and relive them everyday. Art is something that helps me hold onto what I love most about my world. I have a collection, to say the least.

2. I used to hate the dark but I have come to embrace it. The night is when I come alive. I love to go on walks at night. It is peaceful and so alive at the same time. I love the lights of darkened sky. I love the sounds of the forest when the world is asleep.

3. If I am having a bad day, I escape by going and doing one of two things: listen to music or buy new music so I can listen to it.

4. One of my favorite comfort foods is sushi. It reminds of the times I spent with my dad.

5. I would rather split my food at restaurants with those whom I am eating with, if it was more socially acceptable, that way we could try more meals.

6. I play the alto saxophone, the piano, and when I sing, I claim to be a bass.

7. I have an addiction to travelling and I want to see the world, at least every continent.

And now the winners are...

Karin and ...and Then I Found Five Dollars

Ty and big.T.money

Bre and Breanna Meldrum

Sky and Shaylynn and Our Homeworld

Macdonalds and Oregon Eugene Mission

Laura and Britt and The Beginning of Blue January...

... in order to keep his anonymity we present last but not least...

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

"For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again."

Serenity

"But it ain't all buttons and charts, little albatross. You know what the first rule of flyin' is? Well I suppose you do, since you already know what I'm about to say."

"I do. But I like to hear you say it."

"Love. You can know all the math in the 'Verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as a turn in the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells ya she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her a home."

"Storm's getting worse."

"We'll pass through it soon enough."

Scott Russell Sanders

"When the pain of leaving behind what we know outweighs the pain of embracing it, or when the power we face is overwhelming and neither flight nor fight will save us, there may be salvation in sitting still. And if salvation is impossible, then at least before perishing we may gain a clearer vision of where we are. By sitting still I do not mean the paralysis of dread, like that of a rabbit frozen beneath the dive of a hawk. I mean something like reverence, a respectful waiting, a deep attentiveness to forces much greater than our own."

Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium

"When King Lear dies in Act V, do you know what Shakespeare has written? He's written "He dies." That's all, nothing more. No fanfare, no metaphor, no brilliant final words. The culmination of the most influential work of dramatic literature is "He dies." It takes Shakespeare, a genius, to come up with "He dies." And yet every time I read those two words, I find myself overwhelmed with dysphoria. And I know it's natural to be sad, but not because of the words "He dies." but because of the life we saw prior to the words.

I've lived all five of my acts, Mahoney, and I am not asking you to be happy that I must go. I'm only asking that you turn the page, continue reading... and let the next story begin. And if anyone asks what became of me, you relate my life in all its wonder, and end it with a simple and modest "He died."

Your life is an occasion. Rise to it."

Ender's Game

"In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him. I think it's impossible to really understand someone, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves. And then, in that very moment when I love them-"

"You beat them." For a moment she was not afraid of his understanding.

"No you don't understand. I destroy them. I make it impossible for them to ever hurt me again. I grind them and grind them until they don't exist."
