Someday..

If you hadn't noticed what my "name" is, it is "clarinet" and "artist" put together. Oh so clever I know :P But I like it!

Anyway.. I think that I am an artist because I can put my thoughts, emotions, and pretty much me into my artwork. I enjoy painting oh so very much. Someday I want everyone to know my paintings. Like all the other amazing and talented artists before me. I don't want to be "famous" in the sense of popularity and stuff( Although that'd be pretty cool). I just want to be know for my abilities of awesomeness. :D

So in the future when the number of my paintings have spread around the world.. I also want to be able to write music like a painting. To make every note add a little color into the listeners head. That way they can see what I'm trying to show them. OR take it in the complete opposite direction I want the picture to be and make their own out of it!

Colors and notes, music and art, are just the same but expressed and seen differently. Some people add music to paintings. Some people have even composed music for paintings. And some people have even painted while listening to music.

They can explain each other and they can change the view into ANYTHING they want!

I want one of my paintings or piece to be like that. If I can do that one way or another.. eventually.. someday.. then that'll be fun. :)

Wladyslaw Szpilman..

Have you ever heard of Wladyslaw Szpilman? I can hardly say his name but he was an amazing pianist. Not only did he play the piano well but what he put into the pieces he played were crazy. The emotion he could convey in one piano piece could have your face like this ":O" afterwards.

All artists have their own way of putting there troubles or joys into music. To show others what they feel. And some musicians go to music when they have nothing left.


Szpilman was a Jew, who like many Jews in the 1940s and such got persecuted for their beliefs by the Germans. Szpilman and his family had to suffer through being taken from their homes, watch people being killed just for fun by some of the German soldiers, and even watch friends abandon them for fear of being known that they helped a Jew. But some how even through all his troubles and pains of hunger and death he always found a piano.

He was even saved by a German officer who spared his life after hearing him play on the piano. The German officer even hid him and fed him even though he could have been punished severely for helping.

Wladyslaw Szpilman, after the war had ended, went back to playing on the radio. It is incredible how he survived and still after everything bad could happen to him he still clung to music.

He inspires me. And if you want to know how he survived and what he went through you should really watch The Pianist. A fantastic movie that showed him for what an amazing pianist he is and how he still kept with it. Anyway. That's all I have to say about him and his awesomeness. :)

Quote Ramble..

"Life is part positive and part negative. Suppose you went to
hear a symphony orchestra and all they played were the little
happy high notes. Would you leave soon? Let me hear the rumble
of the bass, the crash of the cymbals and the minor keys."
-Jim Rohn-

Isn't it the truth? Life being all happy would be awesome.. but if it was, being happy would become the norm and it wouldn't be happy it would start to get really repetitive and annoying even if you did feel great.

Plus isn't there a saying that what doesn't hurt you makes you stronger? Even if the horrible things hurt. And you might wish they weren't there. After awhile you'd look back on that and see how it changed you.

So give me the "rumble of the bass, the crash of the cymbals and the minor keys" because without the horrible things life wouldn't be the same. It wouldn't be anything like anything normal. Life needs roller coasters even if you do get that funny feeling on the down parts. :)

One of the best sunsets ever..

Last summer my Mom, one of my sisters, and I went on a road trip. It was really fun. During this road trip we sat and watched one of the coolest sunsets ever. The colors were amazing and they shimmered in the lake water. And there was a really neat lookin' lighthouse. I took this picture. Hope you like it.

The Outsiders...

There are people who read and people who don't read.. and then there are some people who like to read but never have the chance and people who have to read all the time but don't want to. I'm one of those people who likes to read but never has the chance to.. Well it's not that I don't have the chance I'd just rather watch a tv show or something. Unless it is a really good book. *shrugs*

Anyway.. out of all the books you read you can't remember all of them, but there are some books that just stick like glue to you. Usually it's your favorite book or just a book that you remember. Either way my favorite book has to be The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton

If you've read The Outsiders then you'll probably know what it's about(yeah that was a pointless sentence..). And if you haven't I won't ruin it for you. But the reason I like it is because of it's wording. It's in first person and this kid named Ponyboy Curtis is talking. And he talks about all of the characters so you feel like you know them.

Most books do that but still. And the way him and his friend's act differently from everyone is probably also why I like it.

This was pretty much a non spoiler ramble.. but if you've ever read it you'd know what I meant. That is all. :)

Does it bug you..

..when you watch a commercial and they are cleaning whatever the mess is and they wipe off only half of it?? I dunno why.. but it bugs me. I know they are only showing you how it gets it off but still! Oh well... I could just be crazy and this bugs only me. :)
