Damien Rice's music got me through some tough shit in my life. But beside being on my list of "fucked-up emotions" go-to music, he is one of my favorite(if not my favorite) artists. The following vids are live performances of songs off of one of my favorite albums ever, "O". Enjoy....
On sixwordstories.net, anyone can feel free to submit any story of any genre........the twist being one has to tell their tale with only six words. It's an age-old exercise for writers, to get the creative juices flowing. Challenging yourself to create a narrative, a mystery, a bad dream, being as vague as you like or as descriptive as it is possible to be using six words. Sound easy? I beg to differ. When you think about it, most of us use more than six words to say the most mundane of things such as, "Honey, what do you want for dinner?" or "Occam's razor states that all things being equal, the simplest solution is most likely the correct one.".....Ok, so perhaps not so much the latter phrase, but I think you get my point.
What's different about this is being able to read all of the interesting "tales' of others.
My first submission:
"Finished. Record time. Talk is cheap."
Take of it what you will.

I discovered this captivating lil' drawing on www.Treaberry.com. It definitely has tattoo potential. I am certain it is a fashion illustration of some sort, but who drew it and of its origin I have no knowledge. Perhaps someone, maybe even Trea,(??!!) can throw some light on my shade....

Within the week of the start of his prison sentence, Malik El Djebena is told he must take the life of another man, or forfeit his own. "Un Prophete" is the gritty and mesmerizing tale of a young man's journey from an illiterate, petty thug to a mafia kingpin, with the ghost of the first man he ever killed always close by.....
Stumbled across this....breathe of fresh air while visiting ped-es-tal. It is refreshing in a way one could only understand if you set aside 20min right now to be enlightened. If you don't, you run the risk of never waking up "your inner girl". Just watch it....
