One must smell the Crayons, must feel the waxy texture, must be able to smell the chocolate smears on the paper from the cake I was eating with a glass of milk as I coloured inside the lines! It is art and a full sensory experience! One can TASTE the deep Mango-Tango orange and smell the muted orange of the Macaroni and Cheese Yellow. The soft blue of Cornflower or the power of Jazzberry Jam Purple. Use your Nose! Your hands! Let your mind wander in the Waxy Fragrance!

You cannot fully appreciate the mindset of the artist if you only use your eyes! Free Your Mind! And your Heart Will Follow!!!!



*Note: Those are actual Crayola Crayon Colour names. See Here.


Dunno what you smoked, Loriath, but I'll have some, please. ;)

Caffeine Baby! Pure unadulterated Caffeine! And you don't smoke it. You BREW it. Then you pour it and enjoy the magnificent aroma. Let the subtle smells fill you, let it cleanse all the impure from your world. Good, Isn't it? Now.. Take a sip, careful! It's Hot. There we go. Don't swallow it. Let it sit for a bit so your taste-buds get the full sensation. Do you taste it? That is the taste of the Gods. The Gods that have smiled upon us to give us such a wonderful gift. A gift that can make man move a mountain. Okay, now go ahead and swallow the nectar. See? It fills you with warmth and happiness. And there is the taste you get after you swallow and you let fresh air into your mouth allow the taste-buds to expose the slight bitterness that is left where angels stood only seconds before. Yes, that is the real reason that the world moves and works each day. Just for that single fleeting moment where we, as lowly humans, can, if only for a moment, feel like we are giants, like we hold the entire world in our hands. For one single moment, we are Gods that walk among everything else. That we are better. That we are the reason this world exists. That we CAN be more than what we are.

Then some dipshit has to ruin it with a phone call, or a stupid Facebook comment or Forum Post. Or worse, that a child screams that little billy hit him. And then it is all ruined. So what do we do?

We close our eyes, and we take a sip. Careful! It's Hot. There we go. Don't swallow it. Let it sit for a bit so your taste-buds get the full sensation. Do you taste it? That is the taste of the Gods.

Facebook.
Only time I ever post on Facebook is when I'm shitfaced on vodka.

Mostly about how vile I found vodka to taste, its a truly useless liquor,
since my money and time could have been spent drinking whisky, wine or beer instead.
In short any booze that requires mixing with other beverages are useless to hide the taste serves no purpose, for instance I find irish coffe to be an insult to both coffee and whisky.
