that is an extremely impresive resume. i've always wanted to play the piano and want to be capable of drawing, but it is a talent always eludes me.

just ruled yellow notepads; when you finish a page you just fold it over and keep writing.

not sure about a set theme, but i have some ideas. it can be any thoughts, anything simple, profound, moving, revolutionary, any epiphany, whatever. what does it mean to live? i collected some thoughts on that yesterday.

life is to listen to music no-one's ever heard of
life is to scrawl lyrics and slogans on your walls. life is to run home in the dark
life is to hurl abuse at cops and enjoy the chase
life is to see the girl on the bus and remember why you get up in the morning
life is to fight against how you were brought up
life is to made simple
life is to see how much you can get away with
life is to always push the boundaries you have lived to
life is to get into a fight and enjoy it
life is to be happy when the idiots laugh at what you wear because it isn't Jack Wills
life is to stand for something
life is to lie in the middle of the road and gaze at the stars
life is to surprise people
life is to travel the world
life is not to learn. life is to experience. these are not the same things, no matter what your teachers are trying to tell you. skip school for the hell of it. swear in a lesson and see what happens. when they accuse you of having 'the wrong attitude' remember iut is because you have AN attitude. this worries them. because it means you are one step closer to discovering there are less of them than you, and that the only power they have is that of blind ultimate authority; that is, "that's wrong because we say so, so you must stop". or what? what if we all do it? you give us all detention. what if we keep doing it? you tell our parents. what if we do it again? you threaten to tell whatever uni we want to go to, or our employer. what if we persist in doing it? teachers have got nothing but the ingrained fear of higher authority working for them.
sorry to have a bit of a go but once you start. hope its what you're looking for. if not, tell me what you are looking for!
