we've painted a picture, now we're drowning in the paint

brilliant.

[brandon_boyd]

the name works for you, although i don't think you're in much of a disguise.

thanks. i hope the stranger didn't touch you.

[ller]

what a compliment. thank you.

[majandra]

hahahaha only chicks comment on your entries. yes i realize dan did too.

so that was real nice. made me think about a few things, as always. keep keeping it real brother.

[brandon_boyd]

now, there will be no rough-housing in my journal. go do it in jason's, he doesn't care.

what things? you mean, getting high?

real? it doesn't get much more real than this icon, sister.

[majandra]

*smooth houses* hahaha i'm so clever.

yes, precisely. you make me think about baking up.

i don't suppose it does.

ahahha i still can't believe you wrote an entry about paint chips. i'm in love

i said i'd do it, so i did.

spectacular. fabulous. wonderful. amazing.

i would just like to let you know what i and three other girls were thinking.

what if there was to be someone who had no emotions and felt no love but wanted to paint? would the canvas be blank and as white as it had come? or would it be as dark as the heaven glows down upon us as the crescent radiates the sky?

[brandon_boyd]

you forgot fantastic, marvelous, and brilliant, but mel already covered the bases. kidding.

which three other girls? i'd like to thank them.

i believe the canvas would be neither. if the artist felt nothing, he would have nothing in which to paint. no muse, no paint, no picture. the canvas would be streaked with red for in place of the paint, he would have to use his own crimson blood.

[mike_einziger]

right answer.

[brandon_boyd]

thanks.

[ben_einziger]

you are one of the only people i know who could pull off a post about paint like that.

don't expect compliments like that again.

[brandon_boyd]

thanks, ben.

i won't. with a brother such as yours, i know far too well.

[ben_einziger]

no problem, brandon.

i am much cooler than my brother. you should have learned this by now as well.

[brandon_boyd]

that's true. everyone's much cooler than your brother. perhaps except jason.

[kate_bosworth]

Well, I would say that was beyond words but I believe you already covered them.

A painter may put his heart and soul out into a painting so that the outcome would display what he was feeling inside and what he saw in the world. Would it be wrong for him to discard it also? To place the painting as a friend as to tell its secrets to and then relieve themselves of the pain or happiness.

[brandon_boyd]

thank you.

feelings may come and go. it would only be a crime done to himself if he chose to discard the painting. the work would have been done in vain. it's always nice to have a reminder of what you used to be and who you are now around.
