Title: Let's all show off!!!!!
Post by ExplodingEyeBall on Aug 27th, 2004, 2:53pm
I've been here long enough now to know that we are an incredibely talented bunch of people.

I've seen enough awesome artwork to open a gallery.

I've read some of the most incredible poems.

I know I'm not the only musician.

A lot of us do some really cool computer stuff too.

Look at what jonny can do with his hands.

Photographers, etc....

Let's all show off. Put something here to show the fanily your talents.

Here's mine from a contest I was in a few months ago. You may need a high speed connection for this.

BTW: I won that night in the preliminaries. Came in 3rd at the store finals the next week.

Here is the link to the recording of my piano recital online.  It takes a long time to download....dial-uppers beware!  I can still send out cds to anybody who wants one.  Mark C made a bunch of copies  too that he said he'd send out.  I forget who asked me for one that I didn't get one to yet...so just remind me!!

http://www.uberhosting.com/recital2.zip

The first recital I did is online, too...but I lost that link.  Don't know if any of you still have it from when it was put online awhile ago!

Still want to get some playing/singing stuff online, but the only thing I have that records is a really old dual-cassette tape player.

This is me playing with myself!  ;;D

http://www.xdup.com/former/Former_16_Sleeper.mp3

Seriously. Recorded to a broken down Tascam Porta One 4 Trach cassette recorder in just 6 hours. I wrote and played and sang everything on it - and there are no keyboards on this song. It is ALL guitar makintg those sounds.

Gonna try and get my fave song out here in cyberland for you guys to hear. It was inspired by the lack of understanding of the beast.
*Note: If you bought a copy of my disc "Former - Darkest Days Revisited" the song I am referring to is track #4 - Within. I recorded that whole song in just 3 hours on a friends studio machine, and it was a very cathartic recording.

Peace (and NOT sleeping)

OK, let's just say that my job is somewhat of a passion for me.  

I work in the aerospace field.  I build and test weather satellites.  I run multimillion dollar space simulation chambers too.  So if you live in north america, and you watch the weather on tv.  your seeing images from the scientific instruments I work on.  Some of our instruments will be flying on european spacecraft by years end.  When I sit back and watch the weather channel in the evening,  I can tell what instrument is taking what picture.

PFDAN to All,

I just wet myself when I saw those drawings of Janis and, OMG!!! The fricken Cobain one is AWESOME!!!

I can't draw a stick figure without it looking like it is on acid. My brother Brian is the "artiste" of the family. He is also a very talented classical guitarist. Guess you could say he and I are at opposite ends of the spectrum musically.

I only wish I could draw. I have images in my head I only wish I could transfer to picture.

Here is the rest of my music that is available online right now.

The present method and kit provide for effective and efficient patching of fiber optic cables. The kit comprises mechanical fiber optic splicers, a fiber optic patch, a splice housing, and a protective housing...

Sweet.  I like the 3D illustrations.  

I am one as well.  Just filed my 3rd patent, and have two more apps that should be ready for filing by the end of the year.  Fun stuff.

One of the most rewarding things I've done 'to bother bragging about'......even tho rather simple.........was teaching my beloved palimino horse about 15 professional tricks without rope or lungeline. We did some awesome rideing and hill climbing.....and I taught him contest classes to show him. He knew every word in the english language. I miss him dearly ! He was part of me. In the end he didn't even know who I was "and it killed me" to watch him go downhill so fast.....he knew nothing anymore....it left me feeling extremley guilty.......that I could not help him. It was a bad time.....with good memories. Simple simon Pam

Here is my biggest contribution to the world

http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4d611b3127cceb5d5e7fafee70000001610


My minor in college was Theatre. I dance. I sing, rather well.  Damn well, not being modest.   ;)  Karioke nights paid for my gas money during college many times.  It is a kick to have people tip to have you sing again rather then listen to all the other peole.  ;;D

Also, because of Theatre, I create contumes from scratch without paterns from modern day back to 1500's.  Earlier then that is rather simple.  :)  If i can see it in my head, I can make it.  I have to finish my husbands costume for the Ren Faire in Oct.  My daughter already has 2 to choose from.  Them I get to start working on mine. But now my hubby wants me to have one that will match his as well, so I have to buy more material.

A draw, when I can.  Even donated a couple of pics to OUCH at christmas time.  

I used to write. Even got one of my poems published.  I would have to try and find it so you all could take a look.

Guess that is about it.

As for my talents....I thought about it over night.  Couldn't think of anything to post last night.  Today, I have decided the only thing I am truly good at is loving my children, and spending money.
Can't sew, paint, draw, sing, write, dance, play an instrument, no sports, no crafts, no green thumb, build, create, invent, heck, I can't even sleep good!   But I love my kids better than anyone could (it is really easy), and I can spend money like pouring water.

So I shall offer my services to anyone...if you need help spending your money, I would be glad to help!

Okay,
This used to be a link off my nonprofit, but I can't keep up with that right now. Will probably have to try painting to bring in some kind of income instead. I'll still donate some for OUCH auctions though. And jonny ... just about had one of your horizon sunsets done, but did it on a cheap canvas board and it's warping before I can put on the finishing touches ... will try it again when I get an opportunity.
Most every painting in this site is gone now, only a few left, so I'll be starting over again soon I hope.

LMAO! I have a friend who always tells me, "I wish I could draw like you do."

Then he pauses and adds, "No, if I could draw like you do, I'd never leave the house."

Kick-ass art, Hirvi!! Your wife is beautiful too... :) Dave, WOW!! Magnificent paintings!!

I wrote the following piece about breaking the chains of addiction to nicotine, and it's appropriate for today, because today is the first day of my latest attempt, and this time, I truly feel that I will be successful. I have posted it once before... Anyway, without further ado:


Withdrawal


Emerging seventeen miles high
miles high...
miles high...
into pristine azure silence that
prickles my skin with
the icy splinters of lucidity.
lucidity...
lucidity...
Deafening absence of sound
of sound
of sound...
and I'm creeping upside down on
the arcing reaching stretching dome of
the sky,
and like an insect, I
kick a hole in a pane and through
the shattered and falling pieces,
my hand releases
my clutching desperate grip on the very edge.
edge
edge...
And sleepdrift-swimming into the eternal chasm of space
smiling in drowsy farewell, my eyes close, and
I dive -- a silvery shimmer of flashing scales --
into leagues of cobalt repose.

-Frank H. Weeden
