3108 day (or Blog Day 2009)

Just a blazing fast post to commemorate Blog Day. No notification to the bloggers, no description of the blogs, no tag of the site, just my favourite expression: "No time!"

My reading recommendations to everyone who likes to read extremely good material:

Katie Bowen

Russ Loar

Trèe George

Tai Moses

Christina Wells

All of them deep and lovely.

...plus: a couple of colours (Abstract #106). Good night.

Mandalas #7 & 8

Drinking my tea
Without sugar-
No difference.

2D Abstracts #101, 102, 103, 104 & 105

Almost a year ago, back in September the 6th 2008, I posted my last 2D "abstract" image, called like that even though all of them are abstracts. Soon after that, someone broke into my house, and among other things, took my computer with all the images; and my immediate decision was not to continue making the 2D anymore, and move exclusively over 3D, which I did.
Now, I'm back again on 2D abstracts for the peace I get by rolling them in a pack of 9, back and forth in a flow that allows me to think; or the peace I get by enjoying the colours and shapes; or the peace I get by simply connecting with my need of recognizing patterns, similarities, maps, signs to follow, vital signs... They are my most simple products, and they determine my most primal process of creation. They're part of it, sometimes even ending up as a background for a 3D creature; so I welcome them back, as unwelcome pariahs. :-)

...And a song, just because; "Gingerbread boy", by Blue Mitchell; play it with this widget:

Genetic Algorithms - 3D Abstract #101

We're like crystal, we break easy
I'm a poor man, if you leave me
I'm applauded, then forgotten
It was summer, now it's autumn

I don't know what to say, you don't care anyway
I'm a man in a rage (just tell me what I've got to do), with a girl I betrayed
Here comes love, it's like honey
You can't buy it with money, you're not alone anymore,
(whenever you're here with me),
You shock me to the core, you shock me to the core

We're like crystal, it's not easy
With your love, you could feed me
Every man, and every woman
Needs someone, So keep it coming
Keep it coming, keep it coming...

I don't know what to say, you don't care anyway
I'm a man in a rage (just tell me what I've got to do), with a girl I betrayed
Here comes love, it's like honey
You can't buy it with money, you're not alone anymore,
(whenever you're here with me),
You shock me to the core, you shock me to the core

Keep it coming, keep it coming...

Mandala #6

Coolness—
the sound of the bell
as it leaves the bell.

Genetic Algorithms - 3D Abstract #100

A hundred.

A handful of cherries
She gave me in passing,
The wizened old woman,
And wished me good luck--

And again I was dreaming,
A boy in the sunshine,
And life but an orchard
Of cherries to pluck.

Wilfrid Wilson Gibson, "Cherries".

Dandelion

One week ago I came back to Argentina; I'm longing for the spring since then.

dandelions
dandelions
on the sandy beach
spring
open its eyes

3D Genetic Algorithms - Abstract #99

If you're searching out for something
Don't try so hard
If you're feeling kinda nothing
Don't try so hard
When your problems seem like mountains
You feel the need to find some answers
You can leave it for another day
Don't try so hard

But if you fall and take a tumble it won't be far
If you fail you mustn't grumble
Thank your lucky stars
Just savour every mouthful
And treasure every moment
When the storms are raging round you
Stay right where you are

Oh don't try so hard
Oh don't take it all to heart
It's only fools they make these rules
Don't try so hard

One day you'll be a sergeant major
Oh you'll be so proud
Screaming out your bloody orders
Hey but not too loud
Polish all your shiny buttons
Dress as lamb instead of mutton
But you never had to try to stand out from the crowd

Oh what a beautiful world
This is the life for me
Oh what a beautiful world
It's the simple life for me

Oh don't try so hard
Oh don't take it all to heart
It's only fools - they make these rules
Don't try so hard
Don't try so hard
Don't try so hard

Queen, "Don't try so hard" (Composed by Freddie Mercury).
