BluBoy: Daily - Lonesome


Bluboy Comics by Ryan Spencer


COMMENTARY:


Emotions I feel are what makes us tick... We react based on how we feel.
They are, I think, what we define in someone as being "lively". So are our emotions make us more alive inside to ourselves and to others?

There are polar opposites, people with too much emotion, or no emotion. Which is worse I've been wondering. Though the later perhaps hiding their emotions internally. Though we all go through phases or crisises in life inwhich cause us to react more or less.

I've being struggling with my emotions lately and at some points I guess found myself turning them off.

BluBoy: Daily - Insignificant


Bluboy Comics by Ryan Spencer


COMMENTARY:


I like adding this dimension to BluBoy's character.
He's a little narcissistic when it comes to his feelings around others.
The song below I feel is about the Tiny Toy singing about BluBoy...
They both need each other, but the one is too caught up in himself to see it.
