The State of the @NoNamesLeftToUse Address: Staring at This Box, Wondering What to Write

in #life6 years ago (edited)

I can read your minds.
My memories look a lot different than yours.

And That's That

The writer's block is in full effect.

I still have a few thousand words in the form of pictures for you today though. Images I produced over the past couple of months.

Yes. I know many of you would prefer to read something funny today.

Too bad!

What's Up Sasha

Don't worry about it, Sasha

These people know I'm not being serious even when I say I'm being serious.

Seriously though. I'm not unstable. I realize I probably seem to be somewhat strange to a few people out there. A little bit off. Maybe even crazy.

I'm okay with that. This is how I have fun. I can't explain why I think it's fun to joke around and then plaster something like this on your screen:

NoNamesLeftToUse - Little Brother.jpeg
Little Brother

But don't worry!

He survived.

Normally I'd present these works of art in order of appearance. Today will be different. I use a lot of red. Red is your worst nightmare; if you're into this crypto stuff. It's not hard to scare you folks.

Red!

See! You jumped.

So close your eyes or call your mom, or something. It's about to get all red up in here.

So, Yeah

I will not be paying for your counselling sessions.

To add insult to injury, I often combine red with other colors. You're still going to be seeing more red whether you like it or not! That's life! Deal with it!

I'm just messing around, as per usual.

On With the Show!

Friendly Heads-up

If you're seeing strange things within the artworks, don't be afraid. That's normal. I put them there.

Faces, numbers, letters and more. It's all stashed away inside, from time to time. At a glance, people miss out. Sometimes, the more you look, the more you'll see. Simple, yet complex.

As many of you know, I don't like to guide people towards seeing what I see. I rarely explain myself. It's more fun that way.

Moving right along...

So There We Have It

I don't think I missed anything.

There probably would have been even more to see this time around but unfortunately I had to take some time off during the past couple of months.

I work hard, sometimes too hard. I burn out. I always come back though.

I still believe in this place. I want it to shine. I hope my stuff was good enough for you today. Along with thousands of words published, plenty of people feeling entertained; we have my art.

I hope to be able to carry on.

Have a nice day.

So that's the reason why my arm hurts......
I knew it!

My favorite is Watching What's There

Watching What's There. I'm proud of that one. When I released it I simply said I was tired, going to sleep, goodnight. I didn't think anyone would see it or be interested in such a bland post. I was wrong, and I'm okay with that. I don't often give people a chance to simply vote for the art. Usually I'm rambling on about nothing, so I think maybe they're voting for the shit-show I put on. It's hard to tell sometimes.

For me, it's the perfect combination of rambling shit-show and cool art! :P
One of my favorite things about Steemit is the art actually.
I wish I had the talent to create visual art.

You inspired me with tiny text and I figured it out yay!

I've seen people write even smaller. One of these days I'm going to try that. Make you all lean in a squint, then say something ridiculous like intergluteal cleft.

My goal is to type so small that it's actually invisible to the naked eye. Then we can all work on building our psychic communication skillz.

Psychic communication skillz are easy.

Think of a number. A number I'll never be able to guess. An odd number. An odd number between 1 and 50.

Let me know of when you've thought of the number, then I'll tell you what it is.

Ok,​ I have a number in mind.....

Did someone say Red?

Red's a great colour ;)

(Just came across your blog, and have been enjoying the randomness and humour)

Welcome to my land of chaos, or whatever. I wanted it to sound intense. That'll have to do.

These recap posts of yours are always so awesome because of all the art here in one place. Doesn't seem like it's been that long since the last one and yet... all this art. And with your hiatus, too. It's amazing, really.

I think my favourites definitely include The One You Didn't Find (love the psychadelic Easter Bunny in there) and The Silent Treatment. I think I remember telling you at the time that How Did I Get Into This Mess stood out to me as one of your particularly better works as well.

If I keep listing my favourites we'll soon find I've simply itemised your entire catalogue. So I'll stop after just one more. Just Because I Can.

The red doesn't bother me, perhaps because I don't chart watch XD

I'm trying to work out if I'm seeing a pattern/gradient in how you presented all the images because there is a method to the madness, or because humans just like seeing patterns. It's a bit of a hard task because I keep stopping to look at the interesting bits I missed before instead of scrubbing up and down like I need to to be able to work out if this alleged pattern exists or is a pigment of a figment of my imagination.

Please excuse me I need to try again XD

goatsig

I'm having a block kind of day today too. I'm taking the night off from writing for Steemit and writing my fictional stuff that is all mine - is nice not to share some things.

The Silent Treatment is all peaceful looking and pink. It doesn't fit in. There must be a darker meaning I'm missing. I really like Something Inside. Those people/creatures reaching out let the imagination run off into the abyss. I was wondering, is My Mind Flaying Away From Me a typo? Or is it supposed to be "Flaying"? One can never tell with you.

I just realized that sounded kind of insulting - you never have typos, but you would use the kind of disturbing word Flaying, so I suppose that answers my question. :)

Actually, that was a typo. LOL! It's not insulting at all. Questions are questions, nothing more. Thanks for pointing that out. I read this several times before posting, which is normal for me. I make mistakes. If I was perfect I'd be so goddamn bored with life I'd go out and do something just to mess everything up! Thank you!

I frequently miss things after numerous proof-reads. But my typos are awkward, whereas yours have mystic. Difference in persona.

I could have left that. I've already published and named it though. Sometimes I change names or use working titles.

In your first comment you brought up Silent Treatment. That brightness there is actually meant to be a distraction. The hand is reaching for the medicine while the mind and everyone else around is saying no.

Ah, I see that now. I'm glad you told me.

I get writers block sometimes too with my songwriting :) Very cool art quite different but that's what makes it cool and unique :P Xx

Songwriting is incredibly difficult. I think it's harder than writing jokes. I did a rap-like post once. Everything was rhyming and the words bounced along. It was just coming to me that day. I don't get to enter that sort of zone often. When it happens though it's like magic.

Awesome! can't wait until you are in that zone again :D

What I want to know is where you got that pic of my mother in law...Belinda? Anyway, kind of a ... strange day. blessings.

It does feel like a strange day. What's up? What's going on here...

Well, if you are into astrology then it could be a moon phase or Uranus moving into Taurus in a few days. Or it could be a Steemwide feeling of edgyness re: the drop of crypto values. Don't know exactly.

A nice tribute. Reds are good. I love your blues though. The two combined make an awesome combo with one order of Belinda on the side hold the mayo. LOL

Red. I see it well. It's somehow much easier for me to work with than most other colors. Belinda is one of my favorites and I spent a lot of time on her. People don't realize some of my posts can take half a day or more to complete.

Actually I do not know how to call this work of art, but if I were to put a serious name "Abstract Art of darkness" I think that name would be perfect, because it has that dark touch, but without forgetting the true feeling that inspired it. (I do not know what I wrote, I just started to play the keys and this came out, if it sounds pointless at least you know)

I don't like to get overly serious. I know this stuff seems dark to some. It's all in how you see it though. I leave my stuff wide open to interpretation and nothing offends me.

Hey buddy, I like how you think.

If you have never been great at writing, is that just permanent writer's block? (because I have never been good at writing).

I really like Belinda!

I think they call that, "Don't quit your day job." Ha! Beth, I know you're more into the vlogging but there is writing on your walls and I never once thought, "What a shitty writer," after reading it.

Belinda is awesome. I stared at her for hours on end. From all of the characters I've made, she's one of the best.

I still believe in this place. I want it to shine. I hope my stuff was good enough for you today. Along with thousands of words published, plenty of people feeling entertained; we have my art.

Yeah I feel absolutely entertained , your art is unique and carries along lots of expression.
We all believe in this place , we believe in each other . Thanks for sharing your works with us my friend

People that learn from being unstable have the best Balance.

That is the smartest thing I've heard all day. Maybe even all week. A month is pushing it. That was good.

Writer's block indeed, I don't know why.
Edit: Oh so that's why!
P.s - Don't mind my bullshit :)

I don't know what the hell to say either today. I listen to myself inside and all I hear is what sounds like a vacuum in the other room. I think I need some fresh air.

I hope I am the first to comment today on your blog. I love the colour red. Red can never be scary to me although in the crypto world it doesn't mean anything good.......lol😂😂😂

And yeah you always manage to make me laugh with your posts and yeah sometimes I think you are a little bit crazy but I love your crazy and there is no way @nonameslefttouse will have writer's block cos your paintings will always tell a story.

You almost got first place today! So close. Thanks for putting up with my crazy. I nearly wrote a poem about banana peels. That's how bad this writer's block issue is today. I'm glad I did this instead.

I have writer’s block sometimes too especially when writing my songs

I'm even battling through this attempting to respond to you folks. It's just not a social day for me. I'm going to step out for awhile. Seems a bit quiet here anyway.

Awww, I know how this feels, sometimes I just want to have a break but u always come back too. I’m here if you need someone to talk to

Don't worry about me. I got this. LOL

I hope my stuff was good enough for you today.

It definately undoubtedly was! I’m just glad this 47k essay is not that long afterall. Other that that you can read my mind so I can save my time with writing long comments.

Yeah. Reading your mind is fun. Don't worry. I won't tell anyone about that thing you don't tell anyone. Nobody's perfect.

I know you know! I know I shouldn’t eat too much. I’m 6’ tall and 185 pounds. I do eat a lot, but when my weight gets to 186 I stop eating until I drop to 182. As of now I’m not eating. I never crossed that line of 186 and never will. If I feel I’m about to cross, I drop everything and I stop. And that’s about everything what I do with my life.

What's Up Sasha is a real pieece of artwork. I really like it, you gave to it a lot of attitude.
Also the Silent Treatment is cool. It makes me feel like it is a sort of heaven.
I also hope you will keep carry on. You are strong.

I love it when you post a bunch of art in these kinds of overview posts. I think Pulled Under has got to be one of my favorites of all the stuff I've seen over the past several months.

I get burned out a lot too, and it doesn't help that writing is my full-time job, so often I just don't have energy or creativity left over to do personal writing on the side. I write when I can and do the best that I can. Breaks are often necessary.

I always come back though.

^ That's what really matters, I think. :)

A superheors ear thing and face it are my favorite. The buttonpusher reminds me of my two boys and their tablets. I viewed all the pics they were really good and made me smile. Then I went back and read the story and was laughing. Love it :)

Disturbing but still looking at them.

Here, have something for that block of yours.

It's red.

Hey these are pretty cool, man. I really liked "Feeding on Mindfulness" it reminds me of some of the types of things I would see after a certain fungus.

I like the red color in your art!!!!

This is the shortest 47k word essay i have ever read... well i've never read a 47k word essay so i probably wouldn't know how reading that would feel, i probably wouldn't read all of it for certain, maybe skim it or just take the person that made me read something that long for probably no reason out of my life, because why would you make someone read a 47k words essay anyways?

You know how sometimes it's just easier to explain things by drawing a diagram? Yeah. That's what I did there. Does it make sense? No.

Yeah sometimes it gets fucking hard to explain something and i feel like it would be easier to explain with a short diagram or picture lol.

From watching your art, i can easily see that you have some sort of fixation with faces and maybe eyes and definitely the color red...

Any reason behind that? some sort of traumatic origin hero story or did you just head yourself in the head a few times when you where younger or stood in the sun for too much time like me and your brain boiled for a bit like mine?

All of my work starts out as a blank digital canvas. I'll often throw colors around, randomly. That builds up a base. Our brains are wired to see things that aren't really there. Much like how we can see things in the clouds. That's called pareidolia. I'll continue being random until something starts to show. Maybe a face here, a hand there. Then I build upon that. If that face wanted to be there, I just let it be there. I use red a lot simply because my eyes enjoy it more, I can see it clearly compared to other colors. All this is only part of the story though.

On the bright side (like red is bright), you can write so you earned the privilege of having writer's block. Those that don't write, can't claim it even though it's the same effect.

I see my favourite Doctor Seuss cat is looking for Something Inside.

Vaya cuanto color rojo, están muy buenas simplemente arte, con tan solo ver las imágenes se nota todo el trabajo y la dedicación que le pusiste al hacerlas se notan los pequeños detalles que las hacen tan fabulosas, felicidades amigo :D

Sorry

You didn't have to edit your comment. I'm not going to reward someone for leaving those generic messages on my blog though. Say something meaningful. Don't try to kiss my ass.

Can I stealy steal one of your pictures? (: <---- I smile so it wouldn't even be stealing...

I've been in some kind of state of shock and feeling depressed ever since you asked this. You didn't even vote for my fucking post, nothing. I've dropped 326 votes on 128 different accounts in the past week.

How about I go to your recent post, smile, then flag it down to zero?

geez...are u in a rly bad mood???? there you go.. Probably forgot to upvote cuz there was a lot to read, and I was freakin fascinated by the pictures so I jumped right down to the comments... Would've upvoted when I check back 100%. Do what you gotta do, I don't even need the picture it was meant as a sh1tty compliment.
( but still I would totally hang a few of these on my wall)
Take it easy man...

Can you at least see the difference between stealing my work and respecting it? I produce this stuff, I show it, free of charge. Many people who come and look end up leaving with more money than they had before they arrived. I'm doing the exact opposite of selling out. I'm always willing to work with people as long as we can cut a fair deal that works for everyone. Why should I be in a good mood, after all that, when someone comes along to say they'd gladly steal my work with a smile. If I had prints ready to send you, I'd sell them to you, and they would be cheap because I'm not in the business of ripping people off. I don't have any ready and if I did, I wouldn't let you steal with a smile. Maybe stealing means something else where you come from but where I live; nobody likes a thief.

Maybe I'm the one who's i na bad mood... whatever man, right now we're clearly on different frequencies and it causes misunderstanding.... I better stop talking sh1t..
Sorry. and have a good one.
PS: I wrote the last comment before I saw your reply..

But Fck! now I can't even calm down now u're calling me a thief, even better! you know if someone came to my post and said: "Hey I wanna steal this music you made" I would say go ahead! and take it as a compliment that's why it hurts and makes me upset!

Stop playing this game with me. Go away.

I've had people come along and say the same thing in the past. I look at their blogs later and they're attempting to make money from my work. If I say no, they pout. If I go there and flag, they get angry and try to make me out to be the bad guy.

Now, I read what you said in this other comment. You have the same attitude as many of these jerks in the past. You think because it's here, that makes it yours, and I don't deserve a damn thing. So whatever. That's how you are. Have a good day.

You don't know me.
You too.

Aannnd fck yea! now I'm the one feeling bad for the rest of the day.. And why???? For my $0.04 upvote????
If I was what you assume I wouldn't even comment just take your stuff and do whatever with it! ..... since you shared it and made it available for everyone... And again I don't even have any intentions, I don't need those pictures.. I left that sh1tty comment as a sign of appreciation.. Oh and if you think I give a flyin fck about u threatening me to flag? well I don't!! It just hurts..
