Delineation of Deviant.... (Pay Attention!)

Aries is the first Sign of the Zodiac, and that's pretty much how those born under this Sign see themselves: first. Aries are the leaders of the pack, first in line to get things going. Whether or not everything gets done is another question altogether, for an Aries prefers to initiate rather than to complete. Do you have a project needing a kick-start? Call an Aries, by all means. The leadership displayed by Aries is most impressive, so don't be surprised if they can rally the troops against seemingly insurmountable odds -- they have that kind of personal magnetism. An Aries won't shy away from new ground, either. Those born under this Sign are often called the pioneers of the Zodiac, and it's their fearless trek into the unknown that often wins the day. Aries is a bundle of energy and dynamism, kind of like a Pied Piper, leading people along with its charm and charisma. The dawning of a new day -- and all of its possibilities -- is pure bliss to an Aries.

The symbol of Aries is the Ram, and that's both good and bad news. Impulsive Aries might be tempted to ram their ideas down everyone's throats without even bothering to ask if they want to know. It's these times when you may wish Aries's Sign's symbol were a more subdued creature, more lamb than ram perhaps. You're not likely to convince the Ram to soften up; these folks are blunt and to the point. Along with those qualities comes the sheer force of the Aries nature, a force that can actually accomplish a great deal. Much of Aries's drive to compete and to win comes from its Cardinal Quality. Cardinal Signs love to get things going, and Aries exemplifies this even better than Cancer, Libra or Capricorn.

Aries are ruled by the Planet Mars. Taking a peek at Roman mythology, we find that Mars was the God of War. Our man Mars was unafraid to do battle, and much the same can be said for Aries. These folks are bold, aggressive and courageous. They can summon up the inner strength required to take on most anyone, and they'll probably win. Aries do not lack energy or vitality, and they can stay in the game longer than most anyone else. Now that's a winning edge. Rams are also, for the most part, independent and well aware of their own interests in a given situation. This sometimes myopic view may not be for everyone, but it does help Aries get things going. Further, their competitive natures ensure that they will play the game with zeal and vigor. At times, their approach may be construed as arrogant and domineering, but it takes a lot of focus to be a leader (or so an Aries would say). Sadly, the Aries won't usually be around for the final victory (defeat? never). These folks will more than likely have bolted to the next project before the first one is done.

The Element associated with Aries is Fire. Think action, enthusiasm and a burning desire to play the game. Aries love physicality, so they won't sit on the sidelines for long, if at all. They'll jump into the fray full force and will contribute much in the process. Talk about eager beavers! Sure, some of their decisions may later prove to have been hasty, but you'll never find an Aries who regretted taking a shot.

Making things happen is what it's all about to these folks. Aries are also unafraid of stepping onto new terrain. The challenge inherent in taking on the unknown is heaven on Earth for Rams. Sure, they may appear arrogant when they take on the world, but they'll be quick to tell you it's the only way to go. While a common Aries refrain might well be 'me first,' there's no point in arguing with them since, in their minds, they are first. Is this unbridled ego? Maybe, but that might be what it takes to blaze a new trail. Oh, and on the subject of arguing, it's the Ram who will have the last word, so save your breath.

Aries seem to play as hard as they work. These folks are happiest in a spirited soccer match or engaging in the martial arts. In the game of love, the Ram's ardor is unquestioned, although Aries can also be playful and romantic with their mate. With Aries ruling the head, face and brain, those born under this Sign need to be on the lookout for headaches and are well-served to take the occasional deep breath. The Ram's color is bright red, a sure sign of the fire that breathes within.

The great strength of the Aries-born is in their initiative, courage and determination. These folks love to get things going and are fearless along the way. Their dynamism and competitive spirit add considerably any of their endeavors. Deviant @ 8:26 AM ..0 comments

Apery : n : the act of mimicking; imitative behavior [syn: mimicry]

I put this together while waiting for the call, I mentioned below.
It's simple and I like it. It's a much simpler form, than what was produced earlier.
The term APERY refers to the post that almost was. (ref: see below) Deviant @ 10:09 AM ..1 comments

CRY HAVOC! And let loose the dogs of war!

Words cannot express how extremely enraged I am at this moment. Picture this! It's about 6:30AM, you have been up all night waiting for a phone call. That for some reason, you know will never come. So, before you go to sleep, you decide to post something that has been sitting heavy on your chest. Self actualization, an epiphany, or whatever your word for it is. You are in such deep thought that a hour and half flies by, like nothing. You finally decide you've written enough for now. So you get ready to hit the post button, only to find out that IE... Microsluts Internet Exploder. Just froze and you can't recover any of the last hour and a halfs work. It's all lost. YEAH! (Expletive Deleted) LOST! I then spent the next few hours trying to recover or at least take a screenshot of what spilled out of my fingertips like blood. I can't believe it, I finally write something deep, and was able to let it out and then BAM! (Sorry Emeril, I didn't mean to steal your line.) Apparently, it wasn't meant to be read right? I mean, why else would it of happened? I don't think I'll ever be able to re-phrase what I wrote. Hell, I'm so upset and tired, I can't remember it. I'll guess on another night, when I'm in a shitty mood, something similiar might trickle its way to my fingers again. Until then, everyone will have to wait. Because right now, I'm too (Expletive Deleted) tired. Deviant @ 10:00 AM ..0 comments

.apathy. version 1.2

These two images, are concepts I had for a website entrance. The website I designed them for would be called apathy. Whether or not I'll be able to successfully be able to put a site together? Who knows? I will continue posting current workings here till then.

Bored with brushes..

This is a wallpaper I created to test some photoshop brushes. It wasn't meant to become a wallpaper, originally it was just a blank scrap canvas. It somehow came together and had a few people ask me for a copy to use as their wallpaper. Funny, one man's trash is another man's treasure. Deviant @ 2:06 PM ..0 comments

Who I am hates, who I've been...

Music is such an amazing tool. It is possible to find a song that conveys every emotion, every message, every thought, everything that is so hard to express or say. It's not that I just figured this out, it's just that right now, right this very second you're reading this. I'm listening to a song that conveys a message, a message that has lost its voice. I have a cut so deep in my heart, that it doesn't bleed. I thought I'd be fine, pretending everything was alright. Who would've known I was wrong, and that I'd force myself into a elevated level of cardiac arrest. I can feel my brain hemorrhaging, the blood vessels in my eyelids are constricting, and I can't seem to get a grasp on whats going on. How much longer can I take this? How much longer must I feel this pain? How do I bring back to life my heart? All my efforts have only seemed to submerge me deeper into an abyss. All I see is darkness, as if I've lost my eyes or my way. With no guide, will I remain lost, forever? Deviant @ 1:36 PM ..0 comments

An old webpage entrance design I scrapped. I found it while clearing out HD space. This was my first attempt at a grunge look. For some reason I still like this image. If and when I decide to do another webpage I might do a similiar entrance page. Deviant @ 7:50 PM ..0 comments

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee." -Jules (Pulp Fiction)
