color my friday and music junkie #2

Welcome to another Friday! Honestly, I thought this day would never come! I don't know about you, but this week has gone very slowly for me. And to add to that, I've been waiting a while for this day because it is the starting of a three day weekend that I get to spend with my family at a family reunion. For today's "color me friday", I found a painting on Pinterest of a couple kissing which I loved. So I wanted to share a couple of my favorite pieces of artwork titled The Kiss (or something related to that title).



The Kiss, by JarekPuczel

(Found on Pinterest)

I love the way that their faces seem to blend into one.

The Kiss, by Rodin

I saw one of these in San Francisco and literally started to cry while I was standing around it. It's beautiful!!! You really have to see it from every angle and in person. The most amaxing part to me is the man's hand on the woman's thigh. The way that Rodin shows the slight amount of pressure on her leg is incredible and so realistic. Just GORGEOUS!

The Kiss, by Gustav Klimt

Kissing the War Goodbye

---, by Roy Lichtenstein

I just thought I would throw one of Lichtenstein's in because I love him so much. It has a different sort of feeling with this kiss, but I still love him.

music junkie #2

While I'm on the topic of kissing, apparently, I thought I would add on a music junkie post with it. Here's one of my new favorite songs and music videos. Enjoy!!



Kissed You Goodnight, by Gloriana

color my friday

Friday is a great day anyways, for so many reasons (need I tell you why? The weekend, end of the work week, end of the school week, no catching the train early for school, etc. etc....). So I decided that I was going to add to that already excellent day of a Friday by creating a post that I will post (hopefully) every Friday. I got the inspiration from Pinterest via someone elses blog that I had landed upon in one of my Pinterest binges. I am going to post about something (a thought, a picture... probably from Pinterest because I love that genious website) related to color. You may not know this, but I am such an Art History nerd and have developed the love for color and modern art because of my amazing high school teacher, Cheryl Hughes. (I get in frequent arguments with anyone who says that modern art isn't really art. Don't even mention that sentence to me because I will definitely dig you into the ground whenever you say that Rothko is just a box of colors that a five year old could paint or anything related to this sentence. JUST DON'T!!!!)  My friday post will now have something to do with art or color to add a little bit of color to your already exciting Friday!

For today, here's the thought about color and art. As I mentioned earlier, I am in love with art and I believe this statement: that the world would be boring without any color or artwork, natural or otherwise. Whenever you mention a generic color, many people jump to conclusions of what they mean. Red- anger, green- envy, etc. Color means so much. They each have their own sort of connotation and create a more interesting world.

music junkie #1

For those who don't know, I am a total and complete music junkie. You could maybe guess that since I love to play the piano and sing, but I love constantly being surrounded by music. At work, in the car, getting ready in the morning, watching CMT music videos. So because of my love of music I though I'd share some different songs/videos/lyrics that I've been listening to and have fallen in love with.

For today, I am sitting here in my cubicle with my headphones in my ears, connected to my beloved iPod. The song I want to share with you is "Blame It on the Rain" by He is We. I first got introduced to this song by my best friend when she made a mixed CD for me. The lyrics express a feeling that I've experienced a couple of times. Nothing too serious, but the little excitement of a crush, that I hope we've all felt at least once in our lives. (Or maybe you've experienced a break up or watching someone else date the person you wish you were dating. Which is definitely not the best part of dating, but at least we learn from it.)

"Blame It On The Rain"

You, got me caught in all this mess.

I guess, we can blame it on the rain.

My pain is knowing I can’t have you,

I can’t have you.

Tell me does she look at you the way I do,

Try to understand the words you say,

and the way you move?

Does she get the same big rush,

When you go in for a hug and your cheeks brush?

Tell me am I crazy, or is this more than a crush?

I catch my breath,

The one you took the moment you entered the room.

My heart, it breaks at the thought of her holding you.

Does she look at you the way I do,

Try to understand the words you say,

and the way you move?

Does she get the same big rush,

When you go in for a hug and your cheeks brush?

Tell me am I crazy, or is this more than a crush?

(Is it more than a crush?)

Maybe I’m alone in this,

But I find peace in solitude knowing,

If I had but just one kiss this whole room,

Would be glowing.

We’d be glowing,

We’d be glowing.

Does she, tell me, does she look at you the way I do,

Try to understand the words you say,

and the way you move?

Does she get the same big rush,

When you go in for a hug and your cheeks brush?

Tell me am I crazy, or is this more than a crush?

(More than a crush)

Does she, tell me, does she look at you the way I do,

Try to understand the words you say,

and the way you move?

Does she get the same big rush,

When you go in for a hug and your cheeks brush?

Tell me am I crazy, or is this more than a crush?

(More than a crush)

Does she look at you the way I do,

Try to understand the words you say,

and the way you move?

Does she get the same big rush,

When you go in for a hug and your cheeks brush?

Tell me am I crazy, or is this more than a crush?

Tell me does she look at you the way I do,

Try to understand the words you say,

and the way you move?

Does she get the same big rush,

When you go in for a hug and your cheeks brush?

Tell me am I crazy, or is this more than a crush?
