Tumblr Madness

One day while ignoring all the work we were supposed to be doing in class, my friend introduced me to Tumblr. And after vowing that no matter what, I would NOT become a Tumblr addict, it turns out that it's a lot harder than you would think. So yes, I now have a flourishing page on Tumblr. And okay, I realize how disloyal to Blogger I'm being by writing a post about Tumblr on Blogger, but I swear that's not the point of this! The point is, that while surfing the internet for some nice pictures to share on Tumblr, there are actually some really amazing ones out there. So. Here they are, for your enjoyment.
And if you're not disgusted by shameless self-promotion, here's the URL for my Tumblr page: http://floatinginglass.tumblr.com/

no words can describe

Two-headed boy
All floating in glass
The sun it is past
Now it's blacker than black
I can hear as you tap on your jar
I am listening to hear where you are
I am listening to hear where you are

Two-headed boy
Put on Sunday shoes
And dance round the room to accordion keys
With the needle that sings in your heart
Catching signals that sound in the dark
Catching signals that sound in the dark
We will take off our clothes
And they'll be placing fingers through the notches in your spine
And when all is breaking everything that you could keep inside
Now your eyes ain't moving now
They just lay there in their climb

Two-headed boy
With pulleys and weights
Creating a radio played just for two
In the parlor with a moon across her face
And through the music he sweetly displays
Silver speakers that sparkle all day
Made for his lover who's floating and choking with her hands across her face
And in the dark we will take off our clothes
And they'll be placing fingers through the notches in your spine
And when all is breaking everything that you could keep inside
Now your eyes ain't moving now
They just lay there in their climb

Two-headed boy
There's no reason to grieve
The world that you need is wrapped in gold silver sleeves
Left beneath Christmas trees in the snow
I will take you and leave you alone
Watching spirals of white softly flow
Over your eyelids and all you did
Will wait until the point when you let go







What an amazing record.

WARHOL

Why? Why am I fascinated and utterly obsessed with the iconic artist?
I guess I could say it's because he revolutionized art and society in general. Or I could say it's because he completely changed our interpretation of commercial art. Or I guess I could use this reason (probably the most accurate): he's a genius. And seriously, how could you not be intrigued by the man who coined the phrase, "In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes"? And how true is it today?  Warhol was superficial, possibly mentally unhinged, but definitely a genius.
