there is always room for a little oasis.

Dream On

"It's about the hunger to be somebody: Dream until your dreams come true."

(Steven Tyler)

Every time when I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It went by, like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got the dues in life to pay

I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody sin
You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life
Is books, written pages
Live and learn from fools and
From sages
You know it's true, oh
All these feelings come back to you

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream until your dreams come true
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream until your dreams come true
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on

Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Hola, Silvia

This was the most relaxing weekend in a while.

It was also absolutely gorgeous in NYC -

a good a taste of summer.

I've collected multiples pictures

since Friday at 1PM that one of my big projects was finally over

and decided to give myself a break.

As I was archiving them in my Iphone,

I was trying to visualize how I was going to curate

this weekend's post. 

Then, this morning,

I woke up to this sweetness wrapped in a whatsapp message.

I couldn't help but turn it into today's post's subject.

Hope you had as good of a weekend as I did.

Visual Journey

My last few weeks

I didn't know what to do with the multiple photos

that I take daily/weekly

so I have created a separate space for them:

My Visual Archive,

which is basically a visual journey.

You can find it right there ---->

on the right side

under About Me.

Fast and Furious: Tamed Version

I love driving.

Living in NYC I miss it.

Maybe that's the reason why

I began to ask some of my friends

to document their driving.

As I started to receive their videos

I noticed that beyond the rush of the virtual sensation,

I was getting glimpses of their moods

which, of course, I loved.

The music in the background,

the locations chosen

and the moments in which they decided to turn the video on

were contributing to my putting some pieces together

and feeling connected to them.

It might be too early to turn this into a sociological study.

So for now, whether for the rush of it

or for the curiosity of seeing new locations around the world,

the result is a neat virtual ride

through unknown streets

and in most cases ; ) a good soundtrack.

The first ride takes us to beloved Madrid, Spain.

Thank you, ilosabes.

Buckle your seatbelt.





I would love to receive videos from others.

If at any time, you feel the urge to turn the video on

and record what you see, listen or are experiencing behind the wheel

(whether it is the wheel of a car, motorbike, bike, boat, etc)

 always keeping in mind that this is a PG web site,

 feel free to forward them to me (spain.silvia@gmail.com).

Please note that all the recording

was carried out in a safe manner

and that no human, animal or other living creature

was hurt in the making.

4.1.12 -- an (extra)ordinary day

"...the difference between art and life became sheer consciousness and semantincs."

 

"Elevate the ordinary"

"Art is about a heightened state of awareness."



"Try to treat everyday life, or at least parts of it,

as you would a work of art."

Right?
