cripple pencil

crip·ple adj. \ˈkri-pəl\ being lame, flawed, or imperfect. Old English: crēopan: to creep. An accurate description of this pencil's creative journey : creeping along, flawed, imperfect and sometimes oh so lame... yet gaining joy, giggles and sanity from the mere act of creeping.

Watch your thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habits. Watch your habits, they become your character. Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.

Am I in desperate need of sanity? I am. Therefore I art.
