Nothing is left untainted by human touch.

The clouds painted overhead
are the works of the lates
every great debate
lost within the strokes
of every hoax.

The wind in the air
is filled of words
of every author whom ever cared.

The sea is filled of saline
secreted by the lacrimal glands
of every soldier fighting for their land.

The grass is fertilized
by the wars amongst strangers
and the wars amongst friends.

The dirt remains it’s dark and heinous color
from all the odor
piling and mixing together.

And nothing is left untainted
by human touch.

-Recently I’ve been looking through old notebooks and came across this poem.

Who is the center of all this?

Are you real
is it you standing there in front of me
were they right and was I wrong?

Damn I guess that’s what arrogance is
you could collect my soul right from my body
and I’d smile and ask
you to explain the separation of reality from a dream
because how do I know I’m really awake?

Maybe reality is when I close my eyes
and when I’m awake it’s a fictional creation
an allusion of sorts
created by you
by me?

Who is the center of all this
is it you
is it me?
Would I believe you if you told me the truth
honest answer
NO.

The Ever Climbing Cost of Living

I’ve been searching
rehearsing
words images and feelings
sinking within the clutches of society debates
feeling all this was a mistake
always glorifying the greats
society is on the verge of the now or over
I’d like to take a moment and thank you all
for leading us to our demise, lets stall.

Please stop quoting the past
for this moment will be our last
if we don’t think for ourselves
we will shrivel up within our ancestors self indulged attire
shall the human race retire?
For our creative abilities have been hindered
by the ever climbing cost of living.

Trying to stay sincere

Boarded windows
the nails have got to go
rusted and old.

Once a warm heart
the air out there
turned it stone cold.

Trying to stay sincere
has only brought a sense of fear
from what I hear
the hoards are multiplying
do I allow my sense of self to die?

Re-share
force myself to care
to buy a larger tomb
filled of extra rooms
to store societies corrupt policies
or do I start over with fresh nails
isn’t it better to fail?

Bird Dice Design

I’ve been kind of in a funk of sorts. Not knowing what will happen next. Fearing tomorrow and never knowing the outcome has always tormented me. Especially now within the past several months raising children within a pandemic. The constant fear, and that part of me that never really understood the basic routine of our lives to begin with. No matter what ones current life looks like be that raising young children, having children that are adults themselves, or having no kids at all it’s tough right now. The cost of living is high, and dragging ourselves through day to day activities in a state of chaos can be overwhelming for anyone.

I’ve been pushing myself through the insanity of it all by riding out waves of creativity. Whatever that looks like day by day. My writing is a bit close to my heart and I never feel the confidence in pushing my all into a legit book in which would take countless hours of my time in which I’d never be paid for. Isn’t that the complexity of todays world. Maybe if the cost of living wasn’t so high creativity could flourish and all the over done and played out stories could be burned, in order to make room for something new and extraordinary. Instead of more of the same because being a starving artist isn’t practical as an adult with small children to feed.

Anyways I’ve been drawing up simple designs made of shapes. Just to sort of relax my brain, as a way to ease some of the stress. Which is why I began to love art in the first place, a place to calm myself.

I drew up a design I labeled “Bird Dice” because when finished I saw a bird in the middle of the design and my husband fixated upon the squares that resembled dice to him. The design I uploaded on the TerriblyTina shop on Redbubble in three different colors.

The Bird Dice design is available to purchase on items above and more at the TerriblyTina shop on Redbubble.

Negatives and lets not forget the positives

I’ve spent the last several months focused on all the negative points of the pandemic, watching the chaos ravish all around me, and yet somehow through all this people have turned a pandemic into a political platform. Forcing their agenda and bombarding the public with text messages forcing their choice upon the rest of us as the right choice. Actually as I think about it the ones that forced me towards their candidate tended to be democrats.

I’ll be honest I’ve never voted before this election and I wasn’t going to allow this to break my record yet. And because of that fact I got several letters as if to intimidate me the letters stated something like we wont know who you voted for but we will know that you didn’t vote at all and we will be in contact with you to see why. And I thought cool I won’t answer, because you can kindly fuck off. That’s exactly why I don’t get involved with the whole political thing. How can change happen if the vast majority of Americans vote democrat or republican writing off any other party on the ticket?

Not to forget the call from the police department asking if I’d be willing to make a donation because of all this talk about defunding the police they need the money more than ever. The guy then stated how much would you be willing to donate $20 $75. $75 fucking dollars are you out of your mind? I hung up I never did receive an envelope to collect my donation. Go ahead defund the police, defund the entire system. Police officers ultimately are tired worn out people like the rest of us.

We wont defund the system although most people know that our system isn’t fair and doesn’t work. People accept this shitty class order because they don’t want to let go of that one percent chance that they themselves could rise above the rest of us fucks and join the 1%. The truth is were all economical junkies looking for another fix buying the useless shit as if it’ll fill the void. Indulging ourselves in designer labels just to say fuck you I made it even if we haven’t. I still remember in middle school wearing a hoodie and some kid making fun of me because it was K-Mart brand. I felt ashamed of myself embarrassed pathetic, and now I find it all so laughable. I wear non designer labels until they’re covered in holes and I have to retire them to a garbage bag. In which I’m not ashamed of I live by the motto it’s not about what your wearing it’s about what’s underneath.

And then we have the people that find the system is wrong in which their strategy is to walk around with assault rifles? I have no explanation towards this phenomenon I simply do not own guns and have no interest in owning one.

At this point in my life I just don’t want to be in debt, I’m not looking for upgrades to be able to say hey fuck I made it. I want a feeling of freeness not being weighted down by credit.

Past all that mess. I’d like to focus on the positives of the pandemic.

Positives of the pandemic in my opinion…
1. More family time.
2. It is now socially acceptable not to shake hands.
3. Some people wash their hands more often. (why didn’t they before?)
4. Strangers rarely stop each other to small talk anymore. I suck at small talk because as my husband puts it “I’m stuffy.”

Positives of wearing a mask in my opinion…
1. No one can see that huge booger hanging from your nose.
2. No one can see that gunky food in your teeth.
3. No one stops me at work and asks why I’m not smiling.
4. Facial expression are harder to notice and when a smart ass comment slips out under my breathe it’s harder to hear.

I’ll end this with a simple thanks for reading and well have a whatever the fuck day or night you want because opinions are simply just that and no one should be shoving their agenda at you. I simply just ramble to work out my thoughts.

Purple and Green Monsters.

I recently made two different monster designs using the colors purple and green. One of the monster designs (Purple Monster) I made by drawing the monster around the word Hi and using the top dot on i as the monsters right eye. The bottom dot on the exclamation mark became the monsters left eye.

Images below show what the Purple Monster design looks like.

The other monster design (Purple, Black, and Green Monster) I used the colors purple, green, and black. The purple head has white to represent it’s teeth or the other creature attached to its white claws. Depends on how you look at it.

Images below show what the Purple, Black, and Green Monster design looks like.

The Purple Monster and Purple, Green, and Black Monster designs are available for purchase on items above and more at the TerriblyTina Shop on Redbubble. Thanks for stopping by Temperamentally Tina.
