Ugh, I’m Angry and I hate the World!

Leave a reply

I have been angry and hating the world for a while now … Ugh! Has turned into Screaming!

AHHHHH!!!!!!

it’s hard to watch the news every day, that is, if you can find reliable and trustworthy news in America.

So I just turn to my doodles. Not to deflect or pretend the world isn’t collapsing, but to try and not be consumed by fear. I turn to the small acts that seemingly make it bearable. Because it’s not normal! and it’s very hard to keep going when you feel so small and helpless in all of this!

I am small, quiet and introverted… but raging against the machine!!!

It’s Bloomin’ Mush

I took a walkabout yesterday in the afternoon where I can get some great shadows and also great light!

And behold, I saw a star magnolia tree (I believe..I googled it too) which blooms white and pink flowers in late February and early Spring. I know when spring is coming when I see their blooms. And perhaps what’s cool about the shot I got was the moon in the center. If you can see I was looking directly up into the tree and caught the moon! Stellar magnolia, stellar moon! EEEEE! I also love watching the petals fall magnetically to the ground. That’s probably the most beautiful part, knowing that their beauty is very fleeting…you only see them bloom this time of year (I believe…that’s really the only time I’ve seen them bloom). But I’m glad to have witnessed it.

Stellar Magnolia Tree!

It has some of the most beautiful flowers!

Oh what do I see…

oh hi crescent moon!

I feel like I got distracted by the moon…ooop!

The petals falling with the wind is just something I can’t capture on camera…you just have to witness it yourself.

Dance Like One of your Ankles are Broken

I’m still not done with the mushiest of  February posts. Because here’s a dancing heart for you.

Dancin’ Heart…ouch, baby!

And here’s a half head to cheer you up, because let’s face it February really is not the mushiest time for a lot of people, not even for me.

Don’t forget that you are loved (even by half head)

And another mug of love for you, to warm your insides up with.

And that’s all I’ve got because I am clearly not made of new and creative ideas all the time!! Geez!

Mush Love to see it through

the end of Winter is near.

Spring is coming,

May the sun shine anew.

I guess the better way to describe them are mush mugs, but we’ll call it that this week only!

Coffee is love in a mug!

And then I was playing around with color so colored one of the love mug prints

I’m not sure I like it..now on to making a bunch of origami hearts with code mush messages inside them. But I’m not really feeling it this year, so we’ll see if I just keep them until next year. Or I’ll stockpile them for a random day of the year when no one expects them! When you really need a little mush!

Love Mug!

Well, I guess my yearly tradition to go over the top on Valentine’s Day must commence as usual. Otherwise what else would I do?

Okay, I’ll post another mushy song in my playlist of delicious love songs. This being my all time favorite song just in general.

Stevie Wonder I Believe (When I Fall in Love with you it will be forever)

This is all I could muster right now. I know it’s close to Valentine’s and that’s the mushiest time of the year but I’ve just been hiding mostly. Nothing new! But my kids have been sick for the past couple of weeks and just much is going on, it’s hard to be creative and think and take some time to make hearts and farts and blobs and blurbs…birds and words… Ugh..

But I’ll leave you with a Peter Gabriel’s remake of the Magnetic Fields the Book of Love. That’s all I may have time to do for Valentine’s. Maybe get the origami paper out and fold some hearts! I don’t know maybe! It’s still early in the week!
