I came across another one of those internet forum thing-a-ma-jigs where you can log on and share shit and "connect with other people". It is called the "Experience Project." http://www.experienceproject.com/
LOLz Some of the very first groups or whatever I joined were called something like, "I'm ant-social," and "I don't like large groups of people," and "I'm struggling to find myself."
My username is BridgetteBunny.
I'm hoping to discover something interesting and useful by using this website... We'll see! Maybe I can connect with other anti-social artists and musicians struggling to find themselves and their purpose and a way in life, and maybe I can swap helpful and supportive advice and info and words of encouragement with them and vice versa! And maybe I'll discover something in swapping stories and sharing experiences with these people that will spark an idea in my head that will finally lead me to do something useful and something to keep my mind off the depression! Who knows?! Well, its worth a shot!
This website isn't all about musicians and artists, but I figured there might at least be a few on there (and if not, then I'll start something!)!

The First Person to Ever Actually Allow Me to Sponsor Them on My Blog (Plus a Fun, Little Website to Check Out)!
I came across a nice lady on Polyvore that, in my opinion, has a lot of simple but nice sets. She would apparently like to become a musician and/ or fashion designer (according to her profile). Here's a link to her profile: http://teetee-lovs-u.polyvore.com/
As of right now, I cannot add any more info than that, or any pictures of her, but if you want to know more about her you should go check out her Polyvore profile and shoot her a message! :D
www.polyvore.com is this fun, little website where people design art, music, and fashion related collages (AKA "sets"). Its super fun! Why don't you try it out?! I've also came across a few people who like to share their own original written works along with their sets! :D
Email me :D : rayasmommy94@gmail.com

Did I Forget to Mention...
I could of sworn that I already had a blog post up about me wanting people to send me some emails with a photo of their face, and a brief discription of themselves and the style of art/ music they do, etc., but maybe not?! Well, ok, if I did in fact forget to post that up, or if people just need a reminder, that offer still stands! I am still willing to feature artists and musicians here on my blog, with just a simple email with a photo and small description, FREE of charge.
Just email me at: rayasmommy94@gmail.com
Don't forget contact info (like a phone number, email address, etc.), so that people may get ahold of you and contact you if they are interested in your style of work and your offer to either sell it to them or make it with them, etc. :D

Music is the Language of the Heart and Soul
Of the last five or six days I have played the guitar on at least four of those days, and for at least two hours each day. I really need to practice more! But, the last two weeks or so, I've been practicing a lot more than I have been able to in a while! It is great to be able to get more practice time in, it is great to have a guitar (or in my case, several guitars), it is great to have the ability to write and play music (even if you aren't all too great at it)! It is great to have the opportunity to discover and grow my own potential, style, and talents!
I will NEVER regret my decision to pick up the guitar for the very first time, I will NEVER want to go back and undo my decision to take up and learn how to play a musical instrument. It is among the greatest of the greatest of the greatest things to ever happen to me! The only two things I would say are even better are my lover/ soul mate, and my daughter! Those are the ONLY two things greater than developing a love for the guitar and for music, to EVER happen to me! And nothing else that great will ever happen to me again, I'm sure!
I only regret not being able to take the time to learn the art of playing the guitar and writing music at an earlier age (I started writing my little "songs" when I was really little, about the age five or so, but I've only been playing the guitar since I was thirteen!), and not being able to take more time to practice and develop my style and talent during the thirteen years I've been writing and the five years I've been playing!
Music sooth's the soul. It eases the mind. It heals the heart. I can literally feel the beat of the music enter my heart as it is played, and travel around and through all the cavities left by years and years of pain and suffering and heartbreak. I can literally feel it at least temporarily filling each and everyone of those holes with the one thing (next to love) that the heart desires the most! It is rather comforting to hear and play music and feel the vibrations! As soon as the beat of the music is done flowing through the empty crevices in my heart, it is almost as if my heart's own beat has been restored! But, then when it is finished, it must leave and carry with it all those troubles and pains, and it must go find another soul to sooth and heart to heal. When the music is gone, I don't go back to feeling empty and in pain automatically, but eventually, the longer I go without playing, hearing, and feeling music, the emptier I feel, and the more I feel the need to be soothed and healed by music once again!
This is not at all fictional... This is really, sincerely how I feel.

Some "Bipolar" Art I Came Across on the Internet
Not too long ago I was invited to go to something called a "NAMI party". What's NAMI?! Well, apparently it is the "National Alliance for the Mentally Ill". Apparently NAMI is an organization that helps the mentally ill. The "party" they had was sort of fun, but a little weird to me. They had some fun with some art stuff and I got a business card from on of the ladies that works with one of their art programs. I'll have to find her card and post her information (for anyone who is interested in the NAMI Artists project).
Well, anyhow, here are some links to pictures that I came across while trying to do some research on the mentally ill...

Well... Isn't that some interesting stuff?! Here's the link to my Google search: http://www.google.com/search?q=bipolar+art&hl=en&prmd=imvns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=drNTUKKXAoL1iQK6roHYBQ&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1366&bih=621
