Its Our Anniversay

bithday novo

Got this announcement from WordPress today. I almost forgot but Happy Anniversary to us!

I didn’t know where and how long this adventure would take me but here we are, six years later.  It has been fun and challenging with minor headaches every now and then but most of the time, fulfilling.

Yes, I am happy to fly with you alright, WordPress.

Thank you for stoping by friends and please, visit us often.

Life, An Incessant Ocean!

Folha 2Life is not always a sea of roses but an incessant ocean. It is a quagmire of occurrences. A room of lifeboats. A roller coaster of hurdles. An inexplicable mayhem. A chest of drawers. It is full of curves and curvatures, ups and downs, loops and bounds, hills and downhills, scales and balances, tornados and thunderstorms. It is a twenty four hour merry-go-round of not so jolly and friendly skies. It is an handkerchief of events, a broken tray of popcorn not always at our disposal. We learn to dance to our favorite songs when things don’t go our way. We may not always get what we want but are given a book to look through and solve the puzzle. The menu is not always in black ink but one can never go wrong with a good scrambled egg. Life is always about choices. Either you drive in the turnpike or design your own nest. Living does not require much or equate purgatory. It can be one walk in the park if you know how to navigate its trails and accept its daily dosage of bourbon. Breathe. Create your own adventure and ride that bus as you may find yourself at the tip of the road begging for that perfect ride. Face today with gusto. Choose to live and praise your possible authentic self!

Art Basel 2014

Every year, I religiously make the pilgrimage to the annual Super Bowl of the art world, Art Basel Miami Beach. For those not familiar with the show, it is a display of galleries from all over the world showing sculptures, paintings, prints, photography, installations, videos by world-renowned artists such as Picasso and new artists alike. As an artist and a fervent art lover, it is a honor and a privilege, a day of obligation and a must attend, an appreciation of other’s work and a little “I am checking you out to see what you got” of sorts, to attend the gathering. Luckily, I don’t have to travel far as exercising patience is paramount on the streets leading up to the event but in the end, it is immaterial, as the joy one gets supersedes all the migraine and more. It is that worth it.

I never get to adventure to Art Miami or Miami Design and many others. I should. I am sure they are as great but Art Basel caterpillars it all. It is the emblem. As many times as I have been to the show, you would think that I am done being surprised but I always find myself saying, “Oh wow. Whoa.” and then “Oh, I can do this. My work is better. Is this art? Huh?!” Price tag, who needs to know? It is not for the faint of heart. It is creativity in motion. Enjoy!
