Reply to American Transcendentalism: Artistic Sense of Religion in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

In a sense... I suppose. More so in my printmaking. In my sculptural works I make saints and religious icons. My last sculture was in stoneware of the Virgin in a "risky" pose. I am now working on St. Michael w/ bronze wings. Also musical instruments. African style drums. I have been trying to perfect a digridoo. (sp)?

Yeah sure... you get an insightful vote *brings out note book for gold star Nerds*. Most of my art is surrounded around religion. Studying it is brain-food and inspiration. I love it. My mother also studies religion in the music sense. We went to Japan 2 summers ago for a month. It was fascinating.

What Does Your Screen Name Say About You? in Internet JoeUser Forums

When Choosing a screen name or an e-mail address we are chosing an ID that will say something about us to those whom we send mail, chat, or even in blogging. When looking at screen names I cannot tell you the numerous times I have seen "69" & "666" thrown into a mix of characters. Often I have recieved e-mails from people that have changed to a new account where they have incoroperated those digits. Naturally I delete it, because I have no clue who it is from. Honestly, if sending a

A Nosedive into Reality: Part II in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

Cont' 18, May... .... Oddly enough Joe forgave me & we are friends. What I did discover is -- that he would have been something I didn't want. He was a lot like Steve in many ways. Which is not a bad thing- just not for me. I rememeber at one point I even watched what I entered into my journals-out of fear. I shouldn't have. This is a place where i can be brutally honest with myself. It feels good. Sometimes I think what is the point of writing in this thing.

I love my journal, I take it everywhere. I have been keeping a journal since the age of 12. I have to say some past writings have been the best reading material and inspirations for my art.

Here's an inventory of traits the men I have dated/interested in carried: - Obsessed with a computer: Usually for artistic purposes: writing, digital imaging, etc. -Wo

If you are gonna screw up: Do it Britney Style! in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

I know, I know... we always put Starts on a mountain and snicker when they fall. Even if Britney was a common joe and had a blog on Joe User... (*smirks* I know bad pun)... I would still think her action was dumb. I suppose we can say she was drinking Boones Farm down in Louisiana, instead of that fancy-shamansy stuff... because it clouded her vision. You know how us common-folk make that mistake everyday while kickin back w/ a bottle of Strawberry Hill. I perfer the Sangria myself.

You Wanted my Opinion Dear Friend... So there you have it. in Blogging JoeUser Forums

My closest friend is always In and Out of "love". Wheather it be an attraction to a fellow co-worker or someone she met at a bar and just happen to collect his number. Never the less we are always straight-forward with eachother although the truth can sometimes be a bit harsh. Manders (my friend) came to me one day in the studio giddy and starry-eyed from her job as a desk clerk in one of the dorms on campus. As she was continuing to bounce around the art studio, I said: "Okay, Mand

American Transcendentalism: Artistic Sense of Religion in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

The Transcendentalists seem to be understoood in one sense, and that is by their background, in other words what they were rebelling against. What they saw as the current situation is what they were trying to be different from. I suppose once was to look at the Transcendentalists is to see them as a group of well-eductaed people who lived in the decades well before the Civil War. Also another thing to consider would be the national division that it both reflected and helped to create.

Thanks... This is actually journal entries from when I first really began supporting myself (i.e.: Living on my own, finding my niche, etc.), so they are older. I think it is valuble to reflect on past events... writing them down has made it eaiser to track. And I have to agree w/ you-- It's not all fate, if you keep up challenging yourself.
