Fragile like leaf on the ground with cracks running through it
its bruised and torn
but thats no reason to stop trusting
Ill carry on believing in the humanity of humanity
something inside me was born at my birth from the earth
I am the breath and the air that we are brething
I must start believing
Its so strong the urge to carry on, and pick myself up from the verge and the curbs
that I have climbed time and time again
Soon decomposition will take over my position
and turn my thoughts into pure and a more healthy composition
Peace

the real van Gogh- the artist and his letters review
For those of you who have never been to the royal acadamy in London, it is an absolutely beautiful old building, both inside and out, arriving for my 1st ever visit to the Royal acadamy I felt so excited in the que, aside from the fact that I have hardly ever qued for an exibit.
Ive always had a soft spot for van Gogh, influencing so many different art movements, it is hard to imagine art today without him. The first exhibit on van Gogh in a while, a new exibit, "the real van Gogh, the artist and his letters" fetures intimate and reflective letters by van Gogh, next to origianl drwings and paintings in a variety of media.
Dedicating himeslf to art much late in life, at the age of 27, and dieing 10 years later, his life was relatively short and his path in art even shorter, his journey was utterly unique. For anyone who has ever wondered abotu this great artist- the master and the madness, this exhibit shows a compleately new side to him.
Looking at the letters in the exhibit, he speaks of his fears that his art isn't good enough. What was also very interesting was the sketches in the letters, and the passion in which he wites in telling his friends and family about new sketches and art work. You can also see in this exhibit how much his style has changed, from the detailed sketches of his early beggings, to his later work being both more energetic and expressive. The sheer volume of work in this exhibit will blow your mind. Spending three hours there myself I can certainly tell you I wasnt bored, or have that feeling of art overload when I left.
One combination I love is Art and Mental health, and how the two relate. With this exhibition you deffinetley see this mans mind, but also what we seldom see, his humanity.
Get and see it befor its too late... ****

REVALATION- Things are not what they seem, some people have there own agenda!!
Going to the climate camp meeting last night I finally realised that climate camp is not about climate camp!! people have there own agenda, Im not saying its not a good thing and there are so many nice people involved in it, but I feel the main point in it is ANGRY ANARCHI!! Which I feel really sad and let down about, because its something I feel really strongly about. Basicly I had an idea about bringing up climate issues at the general elctions in may.. all people wanted to talk about was things that are debateable on whether it will change anything... I was along the same lines as not many people in that building it was really sad. I was told that that isnt what climate camp was about- IF THIS ISNT WHAT CLIMATE CAMP IS ABOUT THEN WHAT IS IT ABOUT? but it also great because I know now that what it was about is a lie, and I can move on and do something more forfilling with my time

wow finally I get to write my blog, countless times I have clicked on the new post button.. tried to write something but nothing comes out... I feel its because I havnt actually allowed myself to sit down and rest!!
Just producing more hands for my project and having fun doing it!! I got my dyslexia assesment back so hopefully I can get funding for that too..
Ive also been feeling really anxious over my personal impact with climate change, I know Im compleatly at square one in terms of learning more about it and what I am to do, but Im just one of those people who wants to see an instant change- something that just isnt going to happen!! Putting too much presure on myself to do everything, and then the reality is that I dont get anything done!! lol!! o well at least I can laugh at myself!!
Some of you will know I am involved in couchsurfing- and internet community who help to bring people together through kipping on someones couch, you create a profile and people can experience a new place in a different way, helping to provide an instant friend!! :-) I however as yet have not actually had anyone kip on my couch yet, but I have met some really cool people through it!! A girl who I met the other week-eli from barcelona, who I went to the royal pavilian on a free day and another guy called cosimo from rome went to the infamous cowely club to enjoy some all male caberet!! THIS WAS NOT A NORMAL CABERET- may I add that Nothing is normal in the cowely club!! there was a hilarious skit in which a man in a thong stuck red ballons to himself.. and then proceeded to pop.. all but one which he let into the air..with his thong attatched, a man on a ukelele who apparently knew where the ladybirds go when its cold outside... its a secret but Ill tell u anyway..they are under his stairs (there where many more acts too). I know its wierd but its one of those things you kind of had to be there for!!
Ive got loads planned for this week-Im going to see a van Gogh exhibition in London, also a Charlie Chaplin one too!! How exciting!! and my sisters finally accepted my invite to come down to brighton and enjoy herself!! Ive only been here 4years so its about time, bearing in mind she only lives in Birmingham which is 3 hours away..so Ill have lots to fill you in on!!
any hoot.. a tip -look at the noisettes on youtube, they are v.cool and Ive just brought tickets to see them!! yey!!
send me a message and tell me all your hottest gossip I want to here all!!
