contrast

[Hope]
I wish they made a die contrast that I could spray all over my life to detect areas of opportunity. This special contrast die would illuminate those areas the universe is giving me the green light to proceed with. If I follow a greenlight path I'll find joy and fulfillment. I'm tired of fumbling around in the dark waiting for a whisper to nudge me forward or for a synochronistic event to knock me over the head.

Television sets. Compare. What..am I writing about? I kind of don't get it. adjusting? differences. changes. analyzation. what is the point of contrast? I don't know.

black vest white shirt grey pants, the contrast in the clothes we wear, the people we see, the choices we make. who we are to ourselves, mirrors bouncing off the other.

WHEN I CONTRAST THE DAYS THOUGHTS I REALIZE I'M A BREATHING PARADIGM. EVEN THOUGH I DON'T HAVE A DIGM TO SPARE. C0ULD YOU GIVE ME A PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS? I WOULD MY TWO CENTS IF YOU ASKED. IS THIS THING OFF?

The black and white wallpaper was a great contrast in color compared to their furniture which was blue and red.

Black and white, very contrasting colours. Both in racial hate and in art. I believe there is no actually colour black as there is too much light in this world. I guess this is a good thing, it means no one will become suicidal, well they might. I like contrast makes the world fun. When is my time up?

Contrast means the different, usually in colour, between two or more things. For example, one might say, "in contrast to2 when saying how one things is different from another, or when changing a setting on TV.

the contrast to my moods from last week and today is drastic. Now I can only see despair and myself as a tragic waste when last week I was patting myself on the back. Ah my inconsistencies are my constants.

Her lips, ruby red, allured the most wonderful feelings in me. Her skin, porcelain white, gave the best impression I have ever received... Red and white, like night and day, so beautifully joined at the waist.

contrast is something the artists talk about here. contrast between images. the levels. it's like we all pretend what we are doing is real. that it's important. but we know it's not.

the contrast between Love and like is major. One can like someone while the other can effectionately and intimately show a stronger likeness called love.

It's a matter of contrast, really. R wears black under most anything, so if something shows, well, it's the same. I tend to match my outer garments. So then the black is rather more noticible.

it was the slightest contrast in color. unidentifiable really. she wanted blush. it ended up being bashful. who could tell? she could. she had impecable taste.

I don't see the contrast between noodles and chicken and sauce. I mean, really, it tastes good but shouldn't there be more spice? More ... More ... Red and green, blue and orange. I learned about that. I'm so going to ace my art exam because I definately know my contrasts. Yeah? Yeah. Oh, constrast. You draw my eye. Where do we see a constrast? Christmas. Yes we do. Indeedie. Well ... How many more 60 seconds do I get? Alarming, how long 60 seconds seems ... Oh, look, I see some constrast in that little green (and red) bar down there ...

his beliefs were much different than my own. i would ask him, often, about his ways: "tell me sir," i would begin as pleasently as ever. with a glazed expression, he would stare unto me, knowing the pending question. "hold your breath.." the wise man would sigh, rubbing his brow in frustration. "For I know for what you are here to tell me young sir." looking at the ground, i would again ask, as i had so many days past. "why, sir, are you certain that life is patient. how do you explain it to the impatient like myself so articulately! i can't wait sir, what if i want life to go on, forward it you will, if for you also believe that life is that of it's keeper's will?"

The contrast of the contrail high above me from the cloudless blue was striking, that and the fact that it was the first of its kind that I had seen since the eleventh. I called my dad at the airport to ask if I should be seeing it. Yes, apparently the planes were flying again.

"Black and white, obviously. It's only common sense," he says, nose thrust into the air. He has his hands folded in his lap, legs crossed. His foot shakes, tapping to some warped rhythm. The hem of his slacks hikes up, revealing pink and green striped socks. "There's more than one kind of contrast, Mister."

THe expression on her face was in complete contrast to what she was feeling. Her sweet smile hiding the anger that burned within. "How could someone look so gentle and be so wicked?" he wondered as the pan connected with his head.

it was hard to think about the contrast between you & me-- it wasn't like visualizing a concrete line; no, it was more like when you try to put two magnets next to each other but they're facing the wrong way so they just go in circles around each other instead of doing what they're supposed to. i wish fixing our problems could be as easy as just turning those damn magnets around.

colors contrast, life is full of contrast, people contrast. some people don't work well together but other people find a way to work with the contrasts between them. life on the other hand is harder to figure out. it is full of contrasts.

It was an interesting painting. The colors contrasted strongly with each other; lime greens thickly outlined unyielding purples with boldness that was almost painful. She wasn't sure if she liked it or not; it seemed too masculine for her. Still, Jeff might like it. She tilted her head. "

apart from the contrast between the orange hair and the green lipstick, Angela was still a very ordinary au pair. She rose at seven and prepared breakfasts for all the household and put on the washing. Her family was starting to wonder; is she ever really going to break out and startle us with more than just silly make up?

you are a contrast to me, unlike in so many ways that it's practically impossible that we are together. black and white, we are opposing, fighting constantly, and yet, we are we, and we are usd, and we are one and the same. so perhaps, opposites do attract and we prove this completely and totally

contast, the black against the white, the gray inbetween, shading the dramatic features of she, the artist, or she, the subject, or she, the soul that varied in so many different shades, many still left unexplored and undiscovered by others. Had it beed discovered by others, she would have been deep, profound, but now, she was just a girl. Like every other one, partially feminine, hair tied up into a ponytail. Another face in the crowd, masked by the large populace, just a nobody...

i love the contrast between plain white milk and chocolate milk. white milk is so gross. i can't drink it at all unless it's throught a straw so that it completely bypasses my taste buds. on the other hand, i love chocolate milk. it's okay if it lingers on my tongue a little bit, but it's still milk, and i

I like contrast. Contrast contrasts the way the world thinks and hears and feels. i know that there is contrast in the world as I can feel the light and manoevering. What is a colorful image without something to blend it? Give it indepence? let it roam free! Nothing!So believe in contrast and life shall love you and give you life! I say and believe and shall always be true!

contrast. contrast between you and me. between me and the world. between you and the world. everything is different. but it's really all the same. don't you see? we're so different, we have become the same. we're all one people. united as a whole, understanding because of our differences.

Contrast is a word a bout color and i think that we contrast religion in society a lot. i like pinatas. please deliver me from evil and forgive us our trespasses. one day i will go to africa. also god damnit i am so in love with this girl, or i was, but she has a byofriend. i think i am over it now... sigh. oh well. love sucks like that, you know? is my 60 seconds up... i'm not sure. i guess so. but it kind of does not feel like 60 seconds... that's odd... maybe it's been 60 seconds NOW... still no clues. But the timers not moving so I'm going to post this.

To compare two things in comparison. Like homer simpsons and peter griffin, i think we all know which one is better (if you say peter griffin i will stab you in the jaw). Or maybe contrasting jessica alba to biel. alba is hotter :-)

there is an inherent association when i hear contrast, it's between the colours white and black. there is nothing i like more than high contrast photos of peoples faces, with dark shadow and bright light. I wish i was better at drawing faces, its prolly cuz i dont practice enough. Well whatever ill get to it when i get the rest of my shit done, for now ill stick to graph cuz its sick, and uh, well thats what i fuckin think of contrast, its cool.

Buck and Delight are nothing alike. And yet they are the same. Buck's age contrasts with Delight's youth. Buck's depth of knowledge contrasts with Delight's curiosity and zest for life. Their shiny coats do not contrast with one another, as they are both beautiful unto themselves. Buck and Delight are my horses, and there is no contrast between the amount I adore each of them.

flipping black by white, gray is formed. in our present world of high contrast, though things may seem to be black or white, you are just looking at it too quickly. Wait, and both become gray out of focus.

there are a lot of contrasts that I see in the world. I'm not very fond of that word, it doesn't feel good on the tongue, and for some reason it brings to mind, paperwork, and kindergarten, two things I'm not very fond of.

Contrast is an amazing thing. It's one of the greatest literary tools: you can make a point simply by putting two things next to each other. Never have to say a word. Contrast pops up a lot in every day life. When you think about it, contrast is the root of all conflict. If everything were in harmony, there would be no conflict. Contrast breeds conflict.

to be contrating to another thing means that one is in direct opposition to it. one example of this situation is easily exemplified by the colors black and white. These two colors are so opposite as to be in direct contrast with one another. There are few things that are without cubtle differenes, but in order to be contrasting, the two things must be so far apart in meterial ectuality that they have few, if any similarities.

I love the contrast in the sunset sky. I like the contrasts between personalities. It's especially interesting looking at the Meyers-Briggs tests; people are so different and yet there are similarities. And even those who share so much have their idiosyncrasies.

contrast is a mix of colors fighting to be seen the strongest, kind of like when we fall down a well into a pit of beauty and despair and find ourselves looking at an orange blanket, waitingfor the notebook to open and our minds to swing shut. the 45 inch records sometimes collapse into each other, but i find that when you look at a green curtain, then an a fiery redhead, the contrast is something almost pleasing. in fact, one of the joys of life i feel. the bar has gone red.

xontrastttt is what makes everyone different even though nothings contrasts anymore because everyone strives to be the same as each other, originality is not saught after people run away from mit cuz they thnk that being different will make people not want to know the and be scared of them but people are scared of difference woo acnd that' is shown through RACISM and HOMOPHOBIAAAA nad hwoooo the world SUCKS yes yes eys it does too.
