Blowing Time

As promised, here I am with the second wave of links. I mentioned in my previous post about my favourite Instagram photography accounts ( check them out if you haven't yet ), that I am going to put up a list and post my favourite art accounts. Now, most of these artists can also be found on sites like twitter and/or tumblr if you don't have an Instagram account, so fear not, beautiful art shall be seen. 

📷 i m G This is the post I was mostly looking forward to write, and the one that actually helped me decide to pick up this challenge from the drafts and get it going.  I made an Instagram account mainly to be able to follow my favourite artists. One artist. I made it so I can follow Ruki , okay, I admit it! And for a while that and about two others were the only accounts I was following. Then I'm not quite sure what happened, but somewhere along the way I realised I can both follow people that take incredible pictures and can upload my own pictures, and that was it. I started following even more people, I upload sometimes when I remember I have a lot of pictures crammed into a folder and I was actually looking forward to share some of my favourites. Initially I was thinking about splitting this post in two, but I kinda changed my mind. I wanted to link both photography accounts and art accounts, but I think each category deserves it's own post, so instead I...

As I am certain most of you do as well, I keep looking for things to keep myself busy these days and since I obviously spend a lot of time at home, just me and my PC (and phone, ofc) I though it would be a great idea to watch some TV shows and anime. I actually managed to finish watching a few series and even picked up some I forgot about. I'm just not made for this ongoing thing, I have zero patience. I'm in agony now waiting for the new episode of Killing Eve .  And while I've been agonizing, I looked another way. Besides anime that I am not going to write about now, I watched The Thin Blue Line . Not that movie that keeps popping up when you search the title, but the TV show. So let's see what's that line all about. 

📷 ... Oh boy! Childhood songs. Now that's a topic. I have a feeling I'm going to do quite a bit of youtube digging to find some of the songs. It's going to be fun. Yes, let the nostalgia come all over me.  First of all, let's see who my favourites were. I had three favourites that I recall, there might have been more. 

📷 ✿ We certainly live in a time when it's hard to focus. There are so many distractions: the TV, the phone on which we can see and learn about whatever interested us for so long (yet we tend to not do that) and so many sites and apps that we often open just by habit.  I, for one, find myself opening a tab or an app, spend some time on it, get bored, close it and then open it again. I won't believe you if you tell me this never happened to you. Sometimes I have a certain site open in a tab on my browser and I open a new tab with the same site because I'm looking for something entertaining or fun. It's ridiculous! But the first step was made, I acknowledged it and now I'm working on it. So how do I focus with all these distractions that I allowed to claim a big portion of my online activity?  Focusing is really easy for me (motivation is something I struggle with) and it usually goes like this:

In highschool I was a big Tokio Hotel fan. Their songs just fit my personality back then and I think they had a pretty big impact on me. I still love a lot of their old songs and I have to admit that I sometimes feel melancholic when thinking about them, also considering they didn't release anything new in about five years. Well, actually, I don't feel melancholic anymore now that they did release a new album, but I'll write about that in a bit. My sister was overseas for a while and I actually begged her to buy me a Tokio Hotel album. I don't know if it was available in Romania at that time, but the point is that she did buy me Zimmer 483 . I listened to that album like crazy and I still have it back at home. On the back of the cover there is also a little message from the band (but honestly, I actually don't know if it's on the back of this album or another since this was a pretty long while ago) and when I read it I remember saying that I was never hap...
