darcy day

A special tribute, writings by my dear Darcy Day, much more to come...!

I'm not a leader, not a follower; I'm a stall-er.
Thought I was a runner,
But I'm a crawler.
Talk of inspiration
But want it raw-er.

Used to be a fighter
But now I want it free-er
Seeking something a little me-er
So I can take a step back
and see her.

When you're young,
Everything is righter or wrong-er
But now life's just longer
Than I'm really in for.
I just want to sit here.
But I don't want to live there.

So it's back
To the pack, and the crowd's
Getting thicker.
With more faces, more sickness.
Which is okay
'cause there're more riches.

We'll just vaccinate our defenseless.
And return to insensitive.



The Legacy:

Materialistic, superficial, impatient, and under-developed
We smooth our shells with spray-on tans and gym memberships;
Straighten our hair, and buy form-fitting denim.
Men wear bracelets to display sensitivity.
Sunglasses represent mystery.
Integrity's history.

celebrity. identity.
Trapped in envying.

Time is the only thing left
That reminds us of Lone-li-ness.

Serums and botox turn the clock back
On bodies of emptiness.
And they waste it again.

What will the youth see
In the years that we've held the torch?
Vanity or remorse?
Players with no recourse.

I fear that our time will of come and gone
When we finally hear the song
We all craved so long
And got the words all wrong.

When it's all said and done
And time to pay for my sins,
I hope I don't regret
What I'm paying for.
And that I don't want more.

I always fancied myself as perceptive but I guess that rule doesn’t apply when you’re looking at things you don’t want to see; or at least a situation you don’t want to be real.

    Hi... I like your work.

    Just a quick question... who's the Darcy Day in the missive? As it happens to be my name too...
    A strange happenstance no doubt.

Daydream believers

Colorado Balloon Classic - Day 2 , originally uploaded by iceman9294 . “Some people do not have to search, for they find their niche early in life and rest there seemingly contented and resigned. At times, I envy them but usually I do not understand them… And seldom do they understand me. I am one of those searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we completely content. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach; we are drawn to the ocean, taken by its power and unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests, mountains, deserts, hidden rivers, and lovely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as our laughter. We are ambitious only for life itself and for anything beautiful it can provide. Most of all, we want to love and be loved, to live in a relationship that will not impede our wanderings and prevent our search. We do not want to prove ourselves to other

Heights of Reality in the UAE

Aside from ( double Disney) Dubailand , it is quite easy to locate a bold philosophy within the inspiration for many of the UAE's newest structures. Perhaps claims of Islamic inspiration a bit stretched with one of the main principles, "avoiding extremes so as to maintain balance and orderliness..." But then again, if you look at the region's dreams of rebuilding the future and the world as we know it, Dubai will host plenty of places to celebrate Islam's essence, which "enables man to lead a good and happy life and at the same time strengthens bonds of human brotherhood and fortifies the social fabric." I find it fascinating to watch so many levels of fantasy coming to life, so quickly. Several inspiration quotes appear in the captions below. Hydropolis , the world's first luxury underwater hotel, "where those who do not dive, or do not even swim, can experience the tranquility and inspiration of the underwater world." Burj Dubai ,

Magically Unpredictable

Shiva Rae is at it again - creative, innovative, and surrendered - such a wave. Amazing how divine design take it's course when given the cue. "Being an artist is dragging your innermost feelings out, giving a piece of yourself, no matter in which art form, in which medium." Henry Rollins True love comes to those who wait; it comes so much faster to those who take a chance. Thus, I don't chase my dreams; I chase my God, the designer my dreams.
