The Impossible Optimist
Vague words describing emotions, inspiring pieces of music and art, quips and quotes, funny things, and everything else that comes my way.

A good song being brutally raped. Not for the faint of heart. (Or fans of The Postal Service)

I drew something, in this book.
I am reading a book.
I could get this as a tattoo.
Doodles!
1: My doodle book
2: Sometimes I see people that look like they came right out of a cartoon, and they need to be returned to that world.
3: Based off some A Wilhelm Scream art. One of two band tattoos I would ever get. The other being the hand from the cover of Funeral. And if I ever did get this, it would be chained around my ankle attempting to fly away.

I’m still the optimist, though it is hard,
when all you want to be is in a dream.

"Labels exist to stop discussion. Give it a name, put it in a category, and you’ve captured it and made yourself safe from it. Label a person, and you have a pretty good idea of what they are; you can feel safe by either embracing them or excluding them, depending on what you label yourself."

What do we have so far...
A video link to a good song with good lyrics (quoted within comments,) writings about personal disdain, random snippet from everyday life, a photograph, and a drawing. I think my hipster blog is coming along quite nicely.
Nah, no need to categorize anything. Everything is serving its purpose of bringing me personal enjoyment in one form or another. I’ve been labeled both hipster and emo kid, both notoriously known for blogging. I disregard what people label me as, and choose to be myself, whatever that may be to others.
I’ll post a quote from my mother’s article on homeschooling my sister and I that is very relevant and very profound. The full article can be found here: http://www.besthomeschooling.org/articles/nancy_wooton2.html

I also draw things sometimes.

My favorite photo from my vacation in Tokyo earlier this year. My Japanese teacher saw the photo and informed me the charm was for better eye health, which is so specific and out of the ordinary it made me even more fond of the picture.
