This time I'm staying and got something important to sayposted Oct 2nd 2008, 3:45AM
Mood: Eager
Music: Be As - Prozzak
I'm smiling right now. I don't know why, but I am. Things have happened, I'm all over the place, I've grown up. That might be a bad thing, it might not, but I think I've grown up well.
But today, in between my brand new college classes, I found myself coming to Sheezy Art. It has been a long time since I've been on here, and I'll be honest in saying that I haven't made that huge of an impact. I'm fine with that, and I've been fine with that. I'm not the best artist out there, I realize that. That's probably the reason why I haven't been on for little over forever.
And I was alright with that.
Yet in the past month, I've been in a funk. Things haven't gone well, got into fights with family and friends, struggled with the new pressures of college life.
Then three things happened which gave me an epiphany of sorts.
The first was a guest speaker. He was an artist, and not one of the best out there. His alias is Buffalo Boy, and I strongly suggest you look him up. You might look at his stuff and think 'wtf?' I know I did. But then he said something that really struck me. "My work is about playing, having fun. I love to play, and I think all of you do to. We should never stop playing, and never sacrifice the chance to have fun for something else. There is nothing more important than playing, which is the ultimate act of sharing happiness with others. At my best friend's funeral, I smiled, because I remembered the hours we spent in his backyard, just playing."
The second was listening to an old band, Prozzak, which I can't get enough of now. Their music is about heartache and the endless journey to find love. Love, and at times community. I've heard their stuff before, but this is the first time I've actually listened. Simon and Milo touched my heart.
That, somehow, inspired me to log back onto Sheezy today. All day, I looked back on all the projects and art I've been involved in. The comments, the old journal entries, the Clubs. Sword Vs. Fish was a big one I looked back on, and I was greeted by good and bad memories. But good or bad, I realized that I still cherished them. I cherished them a lot. This was a second home to me, and I can't remember why I left. That's my third reason for coming back.
Yes, e-drama happens. And yes, I doubt that this journal will be read by more than just a few of you. But that's enough, if my preachy-ness gets out to somebody.
I'm coming back to Sheezy, because I love this place and the people on it. Even the people I hate on this site, I still love them, because they gave me memories that I hold dear to my heart.
Maybe this will inspire some of you, I don't know. But if it does, if anything I'm saying strikes you in any way, I ask you to do just a couple things. Actually, it's more of a suggestion, to make you feel all warm and fuzzy.
Go and find a Sheezy member that you haven't talked to in forever. Even if you hate this other person with all your being, go to their profile and leave a comment.
Thank them, thank them for all the beautiful memories that made you into the person you are today. And just do that, with all the Sheezy artists that you've been in contact with that stick out in your mind.
Maybe this will catch, and become the next bandwagon. I don't care, personally. I just care about spreading the word, and getting people to realize that they are involved in something special.
