Elizabeth Barrett Browning.. if thou must love me... (sonnet IVX) ♥

If thou must love me, let it be for nought
Except for love's sake only. Do not say,   
"I love her for her smile—her look—her way   
Of speaking gently,—for a trick of thought   
That falls in well with mine, and certes brought 
A sense of pleasant ease on such a day"—   
For these things in themselves, Belovèd, may   
Be changed, or change for thee—and love, so wrought,   
May be unwrought so. Neither love me for   
Thine own dear pity's wiping my cheeks dry: 
A creature might forget to weep, who bore   
Thy comfort long, and lose thy love thereby!   
But love me for love's sake, that evermore   
Thou mayst love on, through love's eternity.

   A Dream Within A Dream


Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

Harper's Bazaar shoot.. Hello Kitty shoot..

"I have never had plastic surgery, and there are many pop singers who have. I think that promoting insecurity in the form of plastic surgery is infinitely more harmful than an artistic expression related to body modification."









Then, in an instant, she appears. The 25-year-old former Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta is petite in stature but gargantuan in charisma. She is scantily dressed in tights, black underwear, and a black bra under a studded, slashed, and shredded military jacket. Her accessories include fingerless gloves, winged boots, and a spike-covered Hermès Birkin. And, yes, the horns that she debuted Grammy week--and the ones you see in this story--are on full display, protruding from her cheekbones and forehead.

Virgin Oceanic.


Map of the 5 Dives

Over the course of 2011 and 2012, Virgin Oceanic’s one-person sub will journey to the deepest part of each of Earth’s five oceans. 

The first dive will be to the deepest place on the planet: the bottom of the Mariana Trench – 11 kilometers (7 mi) straight down. This will be the first time since 1960 that human eyes have set sight here – when the bathyscaphe, Trieste (which moved straight up & down like a hot air balloon) briefly touched down carrying co-pilots Don Walsh and Jacques Piccard.  This time, a sub that flies more like an airplane will allow the solo pilot, Chris Welsh, not only to reach the deepest point on Earth, but then to “fly” along the bottom of the Trench an additional 10 kilometers (nearly 6 mi).

The second dive – to the bottom of the Puerto Rico Trench – will be piloted by Sir Richard Branson. This trench is the deepest spot in the Atlantic Ocean at over 8 kilometers (more than 5 mi). This location is also near to Branson’s home on Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands.

Subsequent dives will carry a human pilot to the bottom of the Arctic, Southern and Indian oceans. Less than 3% of the seafloor has been explored, and none of the deepest points of the planet have ever been explored beyond a brief visit to one.  The opportunities to see and learn from these dives are monumental.

Key dates and timings

Virgin Oceanic’s first dive will be to the Marianna Trench later in 2011, and a further four dives are scheduled over the next 24 months, subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals.

Saudi Arabia Planning To Build A Mile High

Saudi Arabia to build mile- high building.


A plan to build the tallest building on earth - the $28.5 billion Kingdom Tower in Jeddah, western Saudi Arabia that will stand 1.6km high - has reportedly been approved.

It will take a 12-minute elevator ride to get to the top of the building in Obhur, about 32km north of Jeddah City on the Red Sea's eastern coast.

The 1609-metre Kingdom Tower will exceed Dubai's 1000-metre Nakheel Harbour and Tower, the construction of which has reportedly been put on hold.

sweet pea: Who Honors those we love for the very life we live? Who sends monsters to kill us... and at the same time sings that we'll never die? Who teaches us what's real... and how to laugh at lies? Who decides why we live and what we'll die to defend? Who chains us... and who holds the key that can set us free? It's you. You have all the weapons you need. Now fight!

When I told my bf of this dedication bangle to my mum he said mine would say. "make your bed, don't eat before dinner, time for school.." such a boy.

autumn relationship...♥

words pierce nothing,
fall around like dead leaves..

death to those leaves..


as i tread my path,
to get away from you..


you have been stripped,
naked.. separate from me..


wind and frost are your companions now..

somewhere over the rainbow..

somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

suicide on youtube..

I apologise in advance for the topic to anyone who I may offend.. this was the spark for this debate a suicide on youtube....

I want to pose the question is it possible? Could someone stream out into the world their last cry of life? What if that was what they wanted for their dying wish to show millions of people (if they were interested) the passing from life to death? Could it be used for psychological research? A political statement.

In the movie Live! we are shown what could be the next step in reality tv shows. Russian Roulette broadcasted live.  Celebrities get involved.. Human society is disgusted and intrigued by the violence. What are the rules on youtube? On blogs?

please if your listening and this is not from someone who is suicidal but just curious... give me your thoughts..

shades of blue.



What is art my dearlings? something that is framed?
I will attempt a feat of epic proportions for me, I want to express on canvas a dedication of my emotions.

The subject I have chosen is the sky.. I recently went to the Modern Art Gallery in Brisbane and witnessed this painting... by William Robinson "Dark Tide, Boganger".



The sky is terrifying, magnificent.. Please give me the patience to express this on a peaceful canvas of clouds on a cornflour blue stage... maybe start here my budding artists.. cloud drawing tutorial.
