"I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me"
Lyric at the end of the post.

From the hallowed halls of tiny matchboxes...

It has been rather crazy all along those last weeks - with me actually getting to do what I want to do in the army and finding the sort of peace I wanted to find with myself. Not rushing to find another partner for a romantic relationship gives me some relaxed form of mind. I'm not in a hurry and I can scrutinize those I find attractive under a more... experienced eye. No more tumult around those circumstances.


Aside from that, my skills at Photoshop art are sharpening as I develop my own ways of making pretty things in that program - currently working on my understanding of light and shadow and how they react with different kinds of materials. The fun part comes when somebody in the army comes over the computer I work on and asks if I did the picture on the screen. My general answer is "Of course not, the computer made up this one" - I managed to fool someone into believing I found those pictures on the network.
I have been requisitioned to create a new regimental symbol :) more fun time to play.

I've seen the movie 300, finished the first season of Heroes and started watching another show named "Wolf's Rain" (yup, I know it should be spelled "wolves" but they say it's
"wolf's") so you can say I'm pumping my head full of new ideas for the coming weeks. That would utterly correct :) Also been seeing "Trinity Blood" for a while - it's not the best out there - but it's got some cool effects I can learn from.

Another side note. I've been assigned to "Taglit" by my commander - which means I'll get a week off from the army and huddle around a bunch of American jewish tourists. Sight seeing around the country while lecturing about situation in the middle east as the government wants them to see it. Well, i'm into loads of fun if I should believe just about anybody who's experienced it.

All in all, fun and games.
You all are more then welcome to see my new line art (will be finished next time h'm home...)

Matchbox 20 - Unwell

All day
Staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night
Hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something
Hold on
I'm feeling like I'm headed for a
Breakdown
I don't know why
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
Me
Talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train
I know
I know they've all been talking 'bout me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong
With me
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow
I've lost my mind
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
I been talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're taking me away
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
Hey, how I used to be
How I used to be, yeah
Well I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
How I used to be

introspection, army, movies, photoshop
