About Me

My photo
Words in sound and in print make me smile. I love to create in any medium: paint, dance, photography, poetry, song, composition...and the list goes on. I am a fromagephile. I love thunderstorms and clowns terrify me.

Designing for Fun


 These designs are all just for fun and hopefully
will make a few people smile. 




Aaack ,the kerning...sighs...whelp, let's just pretend it 
was a conscious choice.



I'm not a realist, pessimist or an optimist; I am a dreamist.

Find on Loving

I came across this commencement speech and was quite taken with the 
last section "Love Someone". The longer I've lived the more I know that
Loving without conditions is true freedom and happiness.
Written by Adrian Tan, author of The Teenage Textbook (1988), was the guest-of-honour at a recent NTU convocation ceremony. This was his speech to the graduating class of 2008.
""The other side of the coin is this: fall in love.
I didn’t say “be loved”. That requires too much compromise. If one changes one’s looks, personality and values, one can be loved by anyone.
Rather, I exhort you to love another human being. It may seem odd for me to tell you this. You may expect it to happen naturally, without deliberation. That is false. Modern society is anti-love. We’ve taken a microscope to everyone to bring out their flaws and shortcomings. It far easier to find a reason not to love someone, than otherwise. Rejection requires only one reason. Love requires complete acceptance. It is hard work – the only kind of work that I find palatable.
Loving someone has great benefits. There is admiration, learning, attraction and something which, for the want of a better word, we call happiness. In loving someone, we become inspired to better ourselves in every way. We learn the truth worthlessness of material things. We celebrate being human. Loving is good for the soul.
Loving someone is therefore very important, and it is also important to choose the right person. Despite popular culture, love doesn’t happen by chance, at first sight, across a crowded dance floor. It grows slowly, sinking roots first before branching and blossoming. It is not a silly weed, but a mighty tree that weathers every storm.
You will find, that when you have someone to love, that the face is less important than the brain, and the body is less important than the heart.
You will also find that it is no great tragedy if your love is not reciprocated. You are not doing it to be loved back. Its value is to inspire you.
Finally, you will find that there is no half-measure when it comes to loving someone. You either don’t, or you do with every cell in your body, completely and utterly, without reservation or apology. It consumes you, and you are reborn, all the better for it."

Thoughts on laughter


If I could fly and see
the stars from behind,
rather than from under;
would I better feel and comprehend 
the shaking of the thunder.
Could I hear the rhythm and
dance to its beat if I 
understood the lightning's heat.

I Wonder...

A tree is a friend that will not end
for comfort I always find,
in the twist and bends
of bark and branches,
roots and leaves become
a blanket.

Sailing on Sunlight
