I’m in love with this art.

I’m sorry for the absence but as seen on my last post, I’ve been so tired and busy with school work, but I will try to post more often

PS: Congrats New York Giants!

When tired, I sob

I cry like there is no tomorrow and I’ve just lost a leg or my favorite boob.

I know it sounds crazy but it makes sense to me. People when tired they whine, and complain and eat emotionally, it is all very reasonable but crying is what works for me.

Last night for example, I was so tired and I was going to take a shower and just started sobbing, I think this way: “Oh shit, I just want to be very rich and be at the Cayman Island right now, sipping margaritas and watching the sun set, WHY? WHY AM I NOT LIKE THAT? *crying a lot* Also, I’m so tired and I don’t want to wake up at 9, in fact I’m scare to sleep and wake up next week, that’s how tired I’m, WHY CAN I JUST SLEEP? *crying hysterically**breath deeply contemplating this thought of not only jealously but how life is unfair* Stop Lorraine, be happy with the life you have, of driving minimum of 1 hour and a half everyday and no friends in school because no one gives a shit to be nice. *cry about how young adults can be such twats* Ok, ok, I’m in bed right now…can’t sleep…I NEED TO SLEEP! *sobbing*

It is a very tough position, I often argue with my boyfriend and everybody else that asks if everything is fine, NO nothing is fine, my feet hurts, my hair is gross, I have Frida Kahlo eyebrows because all I wanna do on weekends is sleep and I don’t want to suffer the pain of getting my eyebrows done, in fact I think there is nothing more painful than that.

I know, I know, is not like I’m on war and haven’t slept in 3 days killing afghans but my therapists always told me: do not compare your pain with anyone’s, no one knows the battle you fight.

Being tired is not really a battle, but it doesn’t feel good and the only way I know how to exhaust myself to the point I can just pass out is by crying my eyes out.

Then I wake up and my hope and faith are restore, until I get tired my the end of day.

Project Unbreakable

As a woman it is my duty to fight for the injustices of our existence in society. It is my duty to bring awareness where little or no attention is given to us, to fight for our equal rights, is pathetic how in 2012 we do not have, and to fight against cruel actions.

I’m proud to say that a lot has changed, and I’m grateful that in the country I was born, a woman is the president. I’m proud of many things that was accomplished in our society and at the same time very sad that we still live in a patriarchy society.

There is no doubt in my mind that the United States is one of the many countries that do not give the proper recognition to women, not only that, but a country that keep committing crime against our gender and being condescend of sexism. It is sad to see how little we have grown and how cruel our reality is.

This project is based on sex crime survivors. The women are holding a quote of their rapist. Yes, there are A LOT of rape crimes that are never put out there like this, girls that are raped in my school at frat houses that are either afraid to talk or are put to believed that “they deserved”. I’m a very pacific person, but I swear that I would not think twice to just cut those boys balls open.

This women are just a few of many that are tired of holding it inside and are ready to bring awareness for the matter. The quotes are not only disgusting but shocking. How casual some offenders are, how the women felt guilt of what happen because as a woman, society made her believe that is expected of her to be ok with sex and ok to do whatever the men wants them to.

(13 years old victim)

The majority of the sex abusers are people who the victim know. Family members (sick but true), neighboors and that very good friend of yours that just keep giving you shots of tequila and grabbing you from behind. People make the wrong judgement for thinking that abusers are homeless people who appear in the middle of the night to rape girls that are out too late. It sure happens and is frustrating that I have to be scare of walking on the street during the night, but it is not the most common form of violence.

It is a beautiful, painful and corageous project. Many girls need support but are afraid to talk to the people they know, here is a chance to get support AND prevent further crimes.

If you are a man and know about a beast that commit this type of crime, don’t be a coward and do something about it. If you are a girl or woman victim of sex crime, don’t be scare anymore.

The universe is cool enough…

without making up a bunch of crap about it.

I just finished studying for my science class, half of it was some very boring stuff about Newton, energy and mass.

The other half was about how the following beautiful things are made. So I looked them up, and here are some pics

Nebulas

We have about 3 million galaxies that are visible.

Wish me good luck on my test on Tuesday… :/

If movies could say the truth

Best statement so far, take a look at the statement above, before the word Fucked.

whats up with the american obsession for animals anyway? People have no food to put on their plates but they have, like 5 dogs and make movies about horses. Weirdos.

Tree of Life was the most waste of time of my life. Oh the 3 hours that I will never get back of pure boredom.

I’m not sure what to say

Life could be better.

I’m looking for great things to post here but nothings seems beautiful or at least interesting. Now I’m thinking how the hell didn’t Leonardo DiCaprio win an Oscar yet? He is so good. This grammar is probably wrong.

I’m tired of thinking about my life so I get very emotional about Leo zero Oscars.

I don’t know what I’m doing.

PS: I might change my major, for the third time. No one is hiring advertising students. Fucking stupid Florida.

The impressive story of Jeff Harris

I don’t like to post videos here because I really don’t take the time to watch videos when I read other blogs. This one is different, the story of this photographer just made me look like an asshole for thinking it would be a waste of time to listen to his story.

Jeff Harris has taken a self-portrait everyday for the past 12 years. Now I have to admit when I first saw heard about this project I dismissed it as there are a lot of these projects going on, but when I finally got around to watching this video I was floored. The photos document his battle with cancer, the loss of use of his leg, run-ins with celebrities (where he has them take his portrait), all the incredible highs and lows of his life.
