===================================

DISTINCTIVE, UNIQUE AND BRILLIANT WORKS I'VE FOUND:

You guys should look at these awesome galleries. They have really distinctive style of art, unique, and you can feel emotion in their arts. I think they deserve so much more pageviews:

Note: i don't even know these artist.. nor i promised them to post them in my journal or anything. I just think they really deserve much more pageviews. I just can't help myself not to post them somewere, at least in my journal. I just respect brilliant arts (not to mention that i'm not excellent in english, but yet i force myself to write this in english )



'Myleftfive' -- I don't know how his mind works, but he deconstructs any of his object, build and reconstruct it again in clear, hard and compulsive lines, minimal color, but yet unique and beautiful. His lines in his arts is always full of something, like energy or feeling. In some of his works you can feel some anger and frustration, and in some other you feel calm and reflective (ex: 'Yogi'), or sad and helpless (ex: 'Weep'). He translated any three dimensional things into two dimensional lineart in such a way, you can considered 'abnormal' way of reconstructing lines and shapes (but then again, what is 'normal'?). Exemplary works.



'Seamonkeycircus' -- If your eyes were ears, and you look at her arts, you will, like, 'seeing' smooth jazz or something alike. She translates rich colors, and blend them in such a way, and if you look at the result of her blended emotional color, you'll feel calm and soothed. You don't have to see any form (or maybe try not to think). Just look, and feel. Feel her arts. 'The Icy Hill' for example, will make you feel that you look at something beautiful, and no need to see any form at all. In 'The Ride' you'll actually feel mixed energy, and 'Liquidblues' will make you calm and relax. She also enlarged pixels from her paintings, and again the color blends so nice and alive ('One Mauve Square').

Lovers, dear lovers,
The sect of love is my religion,
When my eyes saw the face of the Beloved
Every sorrow became a joy for me.

Sultan, my Sultan,
Since I gave myself to You,
From beginning to end
You are my life and my wealth.

The source of this mind and this soul
Was with You at the beginning,
You are the beginning, the end
And all that lies between,
I can only go towards You.

I come from You and I go to You,
My tongue says Your name within You,
Yet I cannot touch You, and
This divine wisdom holds me in awe.

I don't call myself I any more,
I don't call anyone you any more,
I can't say this one is a servant,
That one is a sultan,
This makes no sense at all.

Since I found this love of the Beloved
Both the world and the hereafter are the same to me,
If You ask me about the eternal beginning and the eternal end,
They are today and tomorrow.

No longer can I mourn
Or cloud my inner heart,
I have heard the resonance of Haqq,
And I will never forget this moment.

Don't let me forget Your love,
Don't let me wander from Your gate,
If I should lose my self,
Let me find that self in You.

My Beloved created me then sent me here,
Go, he said, just see the world,
And I come to observe the beauty of the world,
Let those who love You
Never be content with the world.

He tells this to His servants,
You will see Me tomorrow,
But listen, that tomorrow
Of His lovers is my today.

Who else learned such wisdom
With the pain of all this love?
And if this is ever to be known,
No one can speak of it,
I turn my heart to You.

You are my soul and my world,
You are my treasure and my wealth,
Anything I win or lose is from You,
What I do no longer belongs to me.

Yunus turns his face to You,
Forgetting himself completely
As You speak to You,
It is You who speaks for me.

(Yunus Emre)

Damn... I really need to stop smoking and go back to the gym again...

Can anyone tell me how to stop this really-bad-slowly-self-killing habit? I only enjoy indonesian clove cigarettes.. which is very heavy. I tried so many methods.. none worked.

I DO enjoy it.. but i really need to stop. I WANT to stop. I WANT my body to stop enjoying the relax feeling of sweet-smell indonesian clove cigarettes...
