Steve Jobs & the Art of Inspiration

Wed Oct 5, 2011, 5:07 PM
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." - Steve Jobs


Good night and God bless, sir.

I still can't believe it. I keep pinching my self. A cadaver would've woken up screaming at this point :XD:

Thank you so very much, :iconmemnalar: for suggesting and :iconnycterent: for featuring Mama Milky Way as a Daily Deviation today. I am so humbled and honored. Also I'm so giddy I can't think straight. I think my head may just implode. :excited:

Mama Milky Way was a pretty hard poem for me to write but out of everything I've ever written this one is probably the one I love the most because I first saw this poem in my Mama's eyes. My beautiful, strong, courageous, steely Mama. If I could ask for anything, I'd ask for the strength of will needed to become a woman like her. For everything that you like in that poem, thank her. For everything that's flawed, blame me for my clumsy craftsmanship.

Shine on, Ma. :')

And you-- thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! For the favs, the comments, the love, the camaraderie, the encouragement, the feedback and for being willing to listen.

I :heart: you all!

LOTS of good things going on, peeps!

I got this awesome Premium Membership, thanks to !KneelingGlory! Thanks very much, Lili! :hug:

I cleared my 4th Year Finals with a whopping 68.9%, placing me 45th in my class of 100 people. This is a miracle, considering the prep I had. :D

#themissingslate is now on Tumblr! :excited:

Oh and I'm on Tumblr now too. And Twitter, too. :giggle:

As promised, here is the winner of `GaioumonBatou's Thanksgiving Notes Project:

Congrats!

1. Anubis


I totally love Egyptian Mythology. I've been totally enamored with it since I was a little kid and Janice's take on Anubis is one of the best I've ever seen. There's something so darkly seductive about her representations of all the deities in this series that you are left utterly mesmerized by the wondrous depth of her imagination.

2. Saturn Black


I love the Lovecraftian overtones in this brooding piece. The tentacles could be mechanical. Or not. The wheels could be mechanical. Or not. This one just re-affirms my faith in that old adage-- the technology of a future society advanced enough would seem like magic to any of us now.

3. Dreamer's Amethyst


I admit-- I have no clue what this is about. But, it's pretty. :drool:

Cheers and I :heart: you all!

Ah, vacation, how sweet the sound of thy very consonants and vowels. :drool: FINALLY! I now have time to get back to writing and assailing you all with my demoniacally fueled visions. :evillaugh:

So ~TheLightsWentOutIn99 was kind enough to feature some of my work on his journal recently and I'm paying it forward.

:iconthelightswentoutin99:

1. Feel-Good Stunt

I've loved this poem for ages now and re-reading it again, it's still as fresh and vibrant as it was almost two years ago. The imagery and the narrative tone of the poem are what make it stand out so brilliantly. I challenge you to find another poem this hauntingly lyrical and light-hearted about drug addiction.

2. Recipe Poem

Quite a few of us word-hacks will be nodding along in agreement by the end of this brief poem. :)

3. Out from Under You

This story defines the term 'dark magic, dark wonder'. There's something so deeply, yet subtly, horrifying about this story that you can't help but be awestruck by the writer's skill in crafting this piece.

How to be Featured here:

1) Be one of the first 10 people commenting on this journal entry, and I will add you to the list.

2) Each of the first 10 people will have his or her avatar featured, along with the three deviations I like most from his or her gallery.

3) If you are one of the ten to be featured, you'll have to feature other deviants in your journal, in much the same way. If you'd like, you can add me to the list, but I don't find this necessary for my own participation. The spirit of this is not to get everyone free features, but to "spread the word" about good art.


Cheers! And I :heart: you all!

Little Sally's Dirty FeetLittle Sally had a problem. Little Sally always had dirty feet. Her mother would clean them and clean them and clean them, but Little Sally would just go and get them dirty again. Her mother was a very clean person and always worried about her daughter. She could not understand why Little Sally always had such dirty feet. Why, she herself had come from a long line of clean people who would not have tolerated such dirty feet in the house. She must have gotten the genes from her father's side; Little Sally's mother would think to herself. Meanwhile, she would watch in agony as Little Sally would once again bring dirty feet into her spotlessly c Mothers Eat LeftoversMothers.
Burn their hands cooking
to hear, "Aw"s and "Not now"s
watch their children finish,
just sittin there
when mealtime is over
eat the leftovers.

Mothers.
Sleep when the children
have gone out to play
stay awake, when one
is burning with a fever
her heart aching with worry.

Mothers.
Take their children to carnivals
buys them tickets
tells them to enjoy
sitting on a bench, the entire time
as they wave to her,
from the top of the Ferris wheel.

Mothers
devote their entire lives
To their children

Always love her
She is The Mother
The Sacrificing,
And the sacred one

So after a horribly, moronically idiotic first day back at college, I come home to find... `Exillior is now a GM! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! :excited: :w00t: She'll be in-charge of the Body Art Gallery and I'm totally sure it's safe in her lovely, henna-painted hands. :glomp: So while you're off congratulating her do give some love to her awesome Henna gallery as well. Congrats, again, my dear! :heart:

Right so in real life, college is back in full grind mode making mince-meat of my just-recovered brain. It's funny how the Finals seem a helluva lot closer on this side of the summer break. -gulp- Psychiatry rotation started tday as well and it is without a doubt the most mind-numbing-ly boring class I have ever had the misfortune to be in. I don't like the Prof either. What makes it worse is that I'd been looking forward to this rotation since last year because of the Prof who used to take rotations before. He was an awesome, awesome teacher and he moved to Oxford at the start of this year. Oh woe! WHYYYY, GOD, WHYYYYY?!

Anywho, this too shall pass. I'll be putting all that extra time to good use but taking print-outs of poem I need to critique and going over them during rotation. Hey, all we do is sit around and listen to that old barf-bag drone on and on-- might as well do something productive. :giggle:

Oy vey, I have not written anything in ages :( and it's making me rather blue. But while I'm waiting on inspiration to strike, I'll get around to those 308 Lit pieces in my inbox. Expect flooding in your inbox... SOON! :evillaugh:

I'm kinda p'd off at my self for not continuing the monthly Lit planner thing like I wanted to. I hope to get around to it some time in the next couple of weeks once I'm done with my rotation in Medicine. Psychiatry is up next (most useless rotation in history), so that ought to give me plenty of time to up dating all my stuff presently in limbo. :fingerscrossed:

p.s

I just read this news article by !whisingbloomer about a nasty little group springing up here on dA of all places. Please help us in reporting them and allowing us all to get on with our lives rather than fixating on what may or may not be the intent behind the creation of this whole shenanigan. For the record, I am not against Freedom of Speech but when simple human decency in respecting the faith and religion of nations is forgotten in the rush to make a satirical point by a not very good cartoonist, I'm sorry, that's just idiotic. That said, you can make all the silly drawings of Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him) and feel good about how you're standing up for Freedom of Speech but all you're showing the world is how you can't draw for the life of you.

Real artists have empathy.

Yeah, okay, so I've joined one group too many and laughing like a maniac at the piles (I don't care if all the cool kids say 'stacks', I'm still saying piles!) of deviations in my inbox. I'm a little curious though-- how many deviations can it accumulate before something happens?

Right so taking a page out of !KneelingGlory's book (journal, to be perfectly honest) I'm now going to keep a checklist of things I'm interested in participating in, their deadlines and current status(es).

March

:bulletblack:#Writers-Workshop's Non-Fiction Journalistic Writing hosted by *ckp due 20 March 2010
:bulletred:#ScreamPrompts's Killing the Internal Editor/Critic due 30 March 2010 (saw this one on !KneelingGlory's page and was utterly blown away; must! do!)
:bulletred:Completing edits on Sepia Evening Cinema! AAAAAARGH! This one has been delayed for far too long. :cries:

April

:bulletred:#the-haiku-club's The Noncense Contest due 15 April 2010

:bulletred: Due
:bulletgreen: Done
:bulletblack: Dead (Deadline passed ergo, dead xD)

There.
Done.
Now, am I forgetting something, anything?
:faint:

Anyway, real life update, had a horrible, horrible Pediatrics and Obstetrics/Gynecology theory exam topped by an even worse Obs/Gyn Ward Test with the worst possible Assistant Professor in the whole COUNTRY! Seriously, distant rumors of her meanness are now reaching the serene shores of Japan! Grrrrrr, so totally hate her. And she said she was failing me so, yeah, there you go.

Oh and !conorschild has this journal thingy where you post some of your favorite lines from movies and you, dear watcher, must guess which character from which movie uttered those immortal lines.

1.
"But, John. If the Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists."

2.
"Do you know what "nemesis" means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by an 'orrible cunt... me."

3.
"It seems strange that my life should end in such a terrible place, but for three years I had roses and apologized to no one. I shall die here. Every inch of me shall perish. Every inch, but one. An inch. It is small and it is fragile..."

4.
"I'm sorry, do you have some prior commitment? Some hideous skirt convention you have to go to?"

5.
"Some people, were born to sit by a river. Some get struck by lightning. Some have an ear for music. Some are artists. Some swim. Some know buttons. Some know Shakespeare. Some are mothers. And some people, dance."

Blimey, I'm tired now.

Dear Bill,

I hope God's waiting for you in Heaven with a mic so you can leave all the heavenly hosts shaken with your wonderful poems and searing words. I hope when I die, I get to see you and say 'Hey' to you and have us a little chat about rhyme, metre and all the things in between. I hope they love you and your courage as much as we did. I hope, that even though you are no longer with us, your words still change someone's life, still give someone a reason to go on, still pull someone back from the brink, still console someone and tell them everything going to be alright, Death is just an old friend. Oh and put in a good word for me with God eh?

I will not say good-bye.
