Hoarder-spiration (inspiration for hoarders)

I see... a room with black and white inspiration, filled with Charlie Chaplin quotes and art, and Hollywood inspiration including a John Belushi poster. With maybe a few splashes of yellows, blues and greens and a piece of Banksy art. I alternatively see..a surf, beach, island theme area with little happy touches on the wall of color, my yellow curtains up in the summertime, and yet..plenty of space to spread out and do art and build projects in my spacious abode. I have: a room thats a total mess that is in the process of an island theme.  BUT....Its a work in progress. it was halfway done, and for every 2 steps back..I then will walk 5 steps forward.


Wrote this to help give me the vision..the courage to turn that stereo up, ignore my facebook, and take on that overbearing mess with my head held high. No matter what I face keeping/not keeping...I am to remind myself that the space will do me so much better. It will help me as a mother, daughter, artist and whatever else I strive to be.

‎"Just can't live that negative way .. Make way for the positive day !" - Bob Marley

Theres nothing positive to say about todays events. I could rant on about politics, gun control, what a dirty bastard both Jacob Roberts and Adam Lanza are. Nothing will bring the 20 kids back, the 7 more adults from Connecticut or the 2 people that died in Clackamas the 2 days before from the mall shooting. I just felt like posting the best quotes from my facebook news feed would be comforting to those in America right now.

another wonderful birthday . it was fun, festive, and full of love. Thats not why im writing today.

My Mom got me a very awesome gift, a gift that inspired me to write.
.
.Now, ive been a gamer. For a very long time in fact...my roots in the world of gaming always have gone back to ONE blue, spikey, badass hero.

Sonic. I was 6 years old, an energetic little loud tomboy of a kid with a zaney as loud personality. We went into sears, and I brought home my first video game system. My family gave me a brief overview...and I merely put it down since.

For years I played that genesis. Then it broke, so did my heart. My sisters "fill in profanity" ex took a cord out...at that point, I had picked up a playstation. All the kids had one, the games became instantly a part of me...but  no doubt sonic was my first love.

26 years later...ive got the new classic revamped game console, with 80 built in games. the picture is normal, fits great on the screen, the sound is shotty....but the hero remains the same.

boogerman, earthworm jim, awesome oppossum, all eventually. Sonic: the same original i own on ds, ive gathered (now 4) genesis's since then, yet...this brings me back. im thrilled to be sitting here playing it!

The song is music to my ears. The new revamped sonic, and calling "Dr. Robotnik" by this ""Eggman" name just has no appeal. For the real heros pixels went so fast, he blurred as you put him on pause. He had ONE tough expression.

He, is a part of my childhood that ill never forget!
