Inspiration

Well it has been a while now has it, but that's all due to the fact I've been working on the project, among other life related things. So this is just a hiya-update post, and I thought perhaps it'd be a good idea to go just tell you about what inspired me to do this project. ^-^

To get to and from animation class, I go by motorcycle. Yup. A Red 125cc Yamaha. So I don't drive it, my dad does- but I'm a small person at the moment. I will have my own bike yet. Or maybe a scooter... Until then, I sit on the back.

It's interesting to sit on the back of a motorcycle everyday. The traffic is the same, but you get through it faster than everybody else. Because of that, you feel distinctly different and separate, disconnected as it were, than from the confines of the car. There's no talking, none of the disturbances you get in the car, and music isn't the best idea either. It's you, your mind and the elements- wind, dust, rain and shine.

This is just my own experience, but its overwhelming and humbling, relaxing and exhilarating. It's gives you lots of time to think (or dream a little) and you feel all..."Like whoa dude! The universe is, like, totally huge. It's the wave and the skateboard dude, you know, the organ and the violin. Its totally awesome duuude.'

Yeah, Crush the Turtle from Finding Nemo.

That's just how it is to me, and I wanted to try to express that in my peice.
Besides that all the cool stuff- You're on a motorcycle. A two wheeled vechile keeping itself upright only when its moving and has no real safety mechanisms per se, besides brakes and good stering. I mean, you can die anytime of the day in a car or just standing in the sun too long- but motorcycles just scare some people with how ridiculously easy it could be to die on them.

So I figure it's like you've got Life and this awesome one with the world experience on one shoulder, and the Grim Reaper waiting to take you down on the other. So bingo, you get Guarida, a guardian angel, and Grim, an angel of death.

Seeing the story a bit clearer now? Just a bit? Yeah. So that's where the story came from. Everything else formed after that. And yes, life and death usually gets a darker look, but the blog header and my wallpaper look a little bright don't they? Well... let's just say you need a light to make a shadow.

So I hope you can just sorta feel out the idea behind the story with this little inspirational ramble. My next post, methinks, I'll have a gift or two. Until then, peace out ppl! ^-^
