Es gibt nur zwei Tage im Jahr, an denen man nichts tun kann. Der eine ist Gestern, der andere Morgen. Dies bedeutet, dass heute der richtige Tag zum Lieben, Glauben und in erster Linie zum Leben ist. Dalai Lama

What cosplay means to me
Sooo..cosplay is a big thing nowadays. I remember when I attended my first convention back in 2009 with a small group of friends. The con wasn't well known like AX or Fanime, but it was still pretty fun. It was amazing to finally see all these awesome peeps wearing these beautifully crafted costumes. Before that I had only seen cosplayers in pictures. But being in that atmosphere in person was pretty cool. Hmm yeah I ‘cosplayed’...kinda. More like threw on random things and called it an outfit. I was new so I get a pass. xD Anyway, at that moment I really felt like I was a part of a cool community. Sure I wasn't fancy, but I was still there in the crowd. I was about 17 then. And from that moment on I’d been poisoned by it. A good poison that you don't want an antidote to.
Cosplay to me symbolizes freedom, creativity, and passion. You can express yourself just by the character you connect with. Each one has their own personality that we cling onto. Relatable or just plain cute. Whatever it is we still fall in love so much that we are willing to give up our own identity for a day, or longer, just because we connect to them. That's pretty cool. But what if you look nothing like the character. Not as thin as them, or tall as them. Maybe not even the same shade. I've seen this and felt this way before too. When I have conversations with my friends about anime and who they'd cosplay I always hear the same thing. “"I can't because I don't look like them” “I’m not tall enough I can't be her or him.” Now I’m not gonna lie and pretend like I’ve never felt the same way. I have. But I've come to realize that you can't let those things hold you back. You just gotta do it! In life, you can't achieve anything being scared. Take me for instance, I didn't cosplay a character, but I threw on random things. I’m not tiny, more like curvy. xD I’m also black btw. Probably even looked foolish to some. But I still rocked it. So to end this post before it turns into something 3 million miles long...Just do it. Cosplay. And be the best random outfit or costume wearing person you can be.
Impeachable Journal Submissions
SUBMISSIONS!!! Impeachable is a small quarterly journal of bad art and collaboration, including visual art. They like trees, so they only accept electronic submissions. Not only is this mag pretty nifty (it's on its second issue), it's also socially cognizant and radically intelligent. A few words from the editor:
We believe in art as a means to grow the soul. We stand in solidarity with everyone who labors to create. We abhor the naysayers who would censor the unrefined. They discourage budding artists and word-smiths, and they hide beautiful, impeachable work from the rest of us. We also believe in collaboration. We invite our audience to impeach us. Take this journal. Rip rip rip out the pages. Write on them. Cut them up and reassemble them in novel and pleasing ways. Send us a copy for the next issue.
Contributors will receive three complimentary copies of their issue. The submission deadline is FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 2012 -- so don't sit on your couch and be lazy until the new year! Submit your work. It's easy!

Procrastination & Execution!
A professional procrastinator waits until 30 minutes before its time to leave to jot down a 50 items ToDo list and nail half of it in 20 minutes! A true procrastinator allows for all the complaining and brainstorming to take place during the day, allowing their team to have her undivided attention and devotion and then 30 minutes before its time to go, this very same procrastinator (aka listener, team player, solution seeker) executes & delegates it all in zero to little time! The next day is all about positive follow up! It’s an art form and it shall never be shared with people who naturally freak out when too much comes their way, for they will never understand that procrastinating in a professional level requires mental notes, strategizing while everybody blah-blahs though their day! One must stay ahead of the game and execute all tasks efficiently and quickly without looking and most importantly not feeling flustered! These are my thoughts on procrastination and execution! Always remain calm for chaos is for the weak of command! Happy Wednesday!
