Trackless Thoughts

• People? You mean living-breathing-walking-talking ideas?
  ----------------
• Some people are like your very own shadow.
  You may not notice them at the high of your life, but they will always be there, when all the parties are over, they will be there, sitting quietly in the corner, waiting to walk the lonely path home with you.
  When you get all excited and hyped, they will always be there to hear all about it.
  Thy will be the mirror you reflect upon.
  They will be happy for you unconditionally.
  You may forget to notice these people when everything is going good, but they will be there when the storm comes, and their presence alone will protect everything you stand for.
  
  If you know someone like them, count your blessings, you are really lucky and you will never completely be alone.
  ----------------
• Have you ever seen the face of someone who is either doing or talking about the things they like?
  That unmistakable, star like glint in their eyes?
  That right there is what I live for. That is my Euphoria. My biggest inspiration.
  ----------------
• People are amazing, people are wonderful.
  There are so many aspects of each individual, so many things one stands for.
  I love discovering these various dimensions of people. You'd be surprise what a little kindness, a little respect reveals in people. Even the ones we think we hate holds surprises for us.
  Treat everyone with respect, be humble, and discover the vast universe that is hiding in each one of us.
  I assure you, there is no greater thrill in the world, nothing more rewarding.
  ----------------
• Have you ever noticed how we confide different little secrets in different people?
  Have you ever realized the beauty of this process?
  It's like we're burying tiny parts of ourselves in different persons....
  ----------------
• Everybody has something to teach, everybody has something to learn.
  ----------------
• There is joy and wonder in the simplest of things. Find them and you'll know what happiness is.
  ----------------
• The night sky + silence so intense you can hear your thoughts.
  My greatest drug.
  ----------------
• Wind, you whisper of thousand ancient worlds....
  ----------------
• Certain people you need
  to keep certain parts of you alive
  ----------------
• People, stories and laughter
  ----------------
• Isn't it funny sometimes, people asking you whats wrong, and all these memories, feelings and experiences flashing before your eyes, and yet you still fail to put them into words and say, with a sigh, "nothing".
  ----------------

Made with LOVE

This epic and 100% accurate rendition of me was drawn by a kid named Ishrak Rafi Tashfi.

I met this kid only a few days ago and now he is drawing me. Even more surprising is the fact that he chose to draw ME. He says i inspire him a lot, which is a HUGE deal for me. I guess my existence is not a total waste of hydrocarbons at all.

This is undoubtedly one of the priceless surprises of life.
Thanks, man. :)

P.S. I'll have faith in you, infinite and eternal.

So, I got banned from Daily SpitPaint for....erm.....being honest

Ok, so there’s this awesome group on facebook called “Daily Spitpaint” .
The idea is that you have to draw something based on the multiple topics updated regularly, WITHIN 30 minutes. It’s a great group with tons of talented and fun artists, some of them crazily talented. Their take on topic always surprised and fascinated me. The group is a great place to learn, to get inspired and be part of a fun, artistic community.

So, I’ve been following the group for months now, and finally grew the balls to post something (because the people that post there are way talented). My first post was on the topic “alien cathedral”, done in 30 minutes. The second post was on the topic “The red mist” and took me about 33 minutes, because I wasn’t keeping that specific track of time. So, anyways, I posted that in the group and wrote “a little over 30 minutes”

And guess what!
The next day, I couldn’t find the group anymore!
I thought it was going under maintenance and thus unavailable but soon realized, I was, indeed, BANNED.

At that point I was lost, I couldn’t figure out what I did to get banned. So I inboxed the admins and one of them confirmed this and revealed the reason. I tried to explain my situation but they said I broke the rules, cheated and disrespected the other artists by doing so. I tried to tell him that cheating would be writing 30 minute on that post even when it took 33. But he said they get complains like this every day from people who get banned and then harass them by sending private messages (now I can guess why they would). So I wished him a good day and left him alone.

Oh look, he even blocked me!
Seriously, dude?

Here are the things that bug me:
1.I WENT 3 minutes OVER THE LIMITS FOR GODS SAKES!
You think everything posted on there that say 30 minutes are EXACTLY 30 minutes?
I mean come one! Who keeps that precise track of time?

Don't believe me?
Here's proof.

Guess What?
NOT 30

NOT 30

NOT 30

NOT 30

NOT 30

OH LOOK! A COMPLETE HOUR

NOT 30

What's more, most people don't even post the time it took! (clever trick, why didn't i think of this?)
They just post the drawing and the title.

2. Personally, I’ve seen other artists post 30+ minutes artworks and that’s why I even posted that. The admin later told me that these people get a ban too, but how would I know that? I don’t see who gets banned, I only see the artworks! Sure it says on the rules to follow a strict 30 min time limit but seriously, how many people HONESTLY follow that?

3. If you are gonna ban someone for overgoing the time limit, at least give them a warning beforehand.
It’s the most polite, civilized and logical thing to do. But no, they just go ahead and ban them. And that’s a freaking LIFETIME BAN I tell you. Not a day, a week, a freaking LIFETIME.

I tried to make these points to the Admin but he said that it’s a huge group and banning people straightaway is the only way to keep things manageable.
So, I’m just banned from the group now…..
