Unexpected
by Brandyss AdamsWhat do you do with that old box of toys / You have no use for them now / You give them to all the girls and boys And hang your feelings…
What do you do with that old box of toys / You have no use for them now / You give them to all the girls and boys And hang your feelings up like a towel / Because all you can do is remember / Smile and raise one eyebrow To adulthood, your childhood surrendered / Although, that wasn’t the plan / As hard as blocks of cinder You moved on to that unknown land / And even now, with all your charm and poise / You’re quickly sinking in the sand You now have to face the noise / And hold your child in your hand

So, here's a queston:
by ArlettaWhy aren’t there safe filters that can protect your dear little eyeballs from the things you’d like not to see most, when what you’d like…
Why aren’t there safe filters that can protect your dear little eyeballs from the things you’d like not to see most, when what you’d like not to see most is on the person’s profile? Well, assuming that what you’d like not to see most is the same sort of thing that the safe filters work on, anyway. Or is that something, the use of a safe filter, solely at the discretion of the poster? Because, I was browsing around and ran into a truly offensive profile. Not just because it was cussy-faced in nature or just because it had nude drawings on it; but, because it was very aggressive and obviously intended to shock and put everyone who trespassed there into a state of awe over the extreme coolness of the poster. I started using safe filters for a reason. That reason being, to put it as simply as possible, because I’m old enough to know what I like and what I don’t have time for in my life. Well, one little profile, no matter how shockingly rude and childish it tries to be, will not detain me from my adulthood or even slow me on my path, but I do find it odd that many of this person’s works are behind a safe filter but their spewing tirades of trashy language are allowed to roam freely about, maiming the intellect of whomever stumbles across them. It’s, to but it plainly, weird!

Follow the Leader
by ein22Less motivated to care / Only motivated to appear less motivated / How overrated today’s generation are
A social observation of people in my class, at my college and around my life. It’s quite sad that I reffer to my own generation as ‘kids’ sometimes. “Kids these days” and the like. I seperate my self from that though, I have never really felt like I fit in with people my own age. I do not know what differs me from them, but it’s there, a barrier that is a stubborn as I am.

When I was small / I was been plugged by a mysterious tube / My imagination been sucked away / and been put away in a tiny jar But my experimental doctor didn’t stop there / He wants to know my thoughts, fears and desire / He wants my youth As I slowly growing out of my childhood period / I sense my experiment with the mad doctor / may end But I do not know whether that day will ever come… © By Hung Lin 2008

From my Body Parts Series. “Almost there”, Ty, a young man moving towards adulthood, his body changing from the boy he was to the man he will become.

This is representative, primarily, of the loss of freedom, that many think they attain upon adulthood, but which they really had before – specifically that horrible feeling of being jailed as one sits waiting for sentencing and execution of same, the punishment coming at the beginning in waiting, during the trial, and afterward in humiliation; and possibly, hard labor, as well!. AKA: the job interview See the dazed look on her face? That is someone who just realized that they got what they wanted, and resolute in their purpose to muddle through and make do, despite that they realized they no longer wanted it and are going to pine for what was scorned and lost. The pose is somewhat modeled after, and definitely inspired by, a photo from a Neiman Marcus catalog. Which is filled, by the way, with many lovely things that it is highly unlikely I should ever be able to afford. If I could, in the main, I wouldn’t: I’d go shop somewhere cheap and help a needy family pay their rent first. Though, I’d pay a lot for custom made shoes!

A short experimental poem about disillusionment.

The long crossing through adolescence and into adulthood is not always an easy one. For many young people, it often seems like a neverending path flooded with tears, a river of dark and murky waters… The model in this shot is Abi, my RB friend Shelly’s beautiful daughter who is 15. She was photographed by her very talented mom Work uploaded for a challenge in the Collaborations group. The challenge consisted in using one or both of the two / images on the left as a starting point to create something / new. monocotylidono Shelly Hiebert / I chose to use both images, but also to add a 3rd collaborator. Vikram Franklin has kindly accepted to let me use this photo of boat. / I also added some textures of my own, as described below: This bit of agitated water was used mostly over the path. I simply copied a bit of water from the image below into a new document and distorted the perspective a bit. One of my bad shots of a river. Nice to recycle into a texture! / Finally another photo of mine used as a texture: I use this photo of the St-Lawrence river in the fog very often in composites. This time, it was used in at least 7 layers with various blending modes and opacities. Please note that I may still make a few modifications to it before voting begins… but then again, maybe not. Featured in the group Bits and Pieces on April 19, 2009 Below is the revised and final version of this work which finished in 1st place of the Do Me or Use Me challenge /

This is the second version of the image that I submitted four days ago. As I mentioned in the description of version #1, there were chances that I would still want to improve on it. Well I was not really satisfied with it and gave it another go. The long crossing through adolescence and into adulthood is not always an easy one. For many young people, it often seems like a neverending path, flooded with tears, a river of dark and murky waters ...

Vikram Franklin has kindly accepted to let me use this photo of a boat, and I used a bit of sky to improve on the new version as well. / I also added some textures of my own, as described below: This bit of agitated water was used mostly over the path. I simply copied part of the water from the image below into a new document and distorted the perspective a bit. One of my bad shots of a river. Nice to recycle into a texture! / Here is another photo of mine used as a texture: I use this photo of the St-Lawrence river in the fog very often in my composites. This time, it was used in at least 7 layers with various blending modes and opacities. I thought that the sky needed something and a crying moon was ideal. I used a photo of Jade, my 14-year old niece, added tears of blood and spherized it to create a moon. Played with the sky and shifted the thinning clouds to place the moon in a better position. Finally, I added a sheer layer of moon glow.

5X7 mixed media on Card) This is my humorous-Poigant look at how fast girls grow up these days. I used yellow adhesive scrapbook paper as the background then used iconic images of girlhood on the left & ones of womanhood on the right. Some I added w/my old standby Pop-Dots for a 3D effect. Girls grow up too fast these days(in my opinion) I guess cause of all the technological stuff we have now,etc. Which can be a great thing if used with common sense w/kids. I dedicate this collage to my niece,Alexandra,who I hope stays “young”for as long as possible! /
