A Painter's World

I've been painting so much recently that a funny thing has started to happen. Now everywhere I look I see things as if they were painted or how I would like to paint then. This happens especially when I see something beautiful or with amazing color/lighting! Just today while swimming I was thinking how nice it would be if I could paint water as amazing as it looked that minute. To my eyes things are coming to life with color and movement. So if you see me looking spacey or in another world...it's because I am.

Avatar

So I finally saw the movie that everyone's been talking about: Avatar. I wasn't the least bit interested in seeing at first, too much talk and hype was probably going to leave me disappointed. But I have to say that I really enjoyed it. First time I watched a movie in 3D! The glasses did make the screen rather dark but there wasn't much to do about that. Wearing two glasses at the same time is always an experience, try it sometime:P A few other people were telling me that the movie was too long, but I didn't notice that at all. The 3D effect really brings you into another world. It's really quite amazing! The sceenery made me think of heaven. Well, I guess I shouldn't say too much incase you haven't seen it. In all it was a good movie and if you don't know what I'm talking about I recommend going now and buying a ticket.

Some Things I Like

I like:

Holding my lovely, adorable neice
Rainy days
Watching movie's with my dad(and whole family)
Painting
Listening to music
Sleeping for hours on end
Eating Thai food
Long hikes ( the kind that leave you exhausted and aching)
Laughing with my sisters
Talking till the wee hours of the morning

Times

"My love is over. It's underneath.
It's inside. It's in between.
The times you doubt Me, when you can't feel.
The times that you question, 'Is this for real? '
The times you're broken.The times that you mend.
The times that you hate Me, and the times that you bend.
Well, My love is over, it's underneath.
It's inside, it's in between.
These times you're healing, and when your heart breaks.
The times that you feel like you're falling from grace.
The times you're hurting.
The times that you heal.
The times you go hungry, and are tempted to steal.
The times of confusion, in chaos and pain.
I'm there in your sorrow, under the weight of your shame.
I'm there through your heartache.
I'm there in the storm.
My love I will keep you, by My pow'r alone.
I don't care where you fall, where you have been.
I'll never forsake you, My love never ends.
It never ends."

New Years

Some pictures of Dec. 31st.

A Little Exercise

Camp Mamode

So it started off well: a good walk, a little work out...

Then we saw monkeys hanging around. It was a little scary at first but hey, they looked friendly so I snapped a few photos for keepsake.

Yeah, I don't know what these are called but I heard they build great muscles!

Umm, actually I don't know what's going on in this picture.

Hmmm, don't ask.

Thots On The New Year

So I've thought about it...and I came to the conclusion that I had nothing profound to share about the new year, (resolutions and all that jazz). This year we will skip all that. But if I do come up with something amazingly profound, I will share it with you, if it's not too personal. :P
