A couple of good things

Not everything sucks. I need to point that out. Here are two good things that have happened that I've neglected to mention.


Much better

I found a much better way of "photographing" my recent paintings and have re-done the pictures of the most recent six in my portfolio.

Following the Chaps man....

The naked hairy man in buttless chaps, that is...

Fucking spam:

Congratulations!

You've taken an important first step in changing your life.

Hi, my name is Don. Are you someone who is ready for a Financial Change? If yes, please read this email.

I assure you that your time will not be wasted.

Are you tired of your J.O.B. (Just Over Broke)? Do you feel like there is just never enough money? Feel insecure?

Did you know that there are even many Dot Coms going belly-up?


Sometimes

Some little thing is funnier than it should be:

"Now what kind of tree can you be on the floor, Janet?"

"I'm a fucking shrub, all right?!"

Genetics

Interesting. As I shed my work clothes for a pair of ratty black jeans and a Skinny Puppy t-shirt old enough to get into the bar on it's own I remembered my mother telling me about my grandfather changing into his scruffiest clothes after finishing work at the bank. Yes, my grandfather worked in a bank. I never knew him. He died in 1948 at the age of 48. Men in my family don't live long. This is part of my concern about wasting my life...

5 Months, 1 Day, and 4½ Hours to go

Yup. This job sucks. How to people do this day in day out? What is really disappointing is that I was hoping that being in an environment with other human beings around would feel less isolated than working by myself out of my studio, but that has turned out not to be the case. When I get home at the end of the day my apartment feels like it has been empty all day and this is not exactly a social environment. I've got to find a way to deal with this...


Welcome to my process

So this is how it works with me:


I only get about 25,000 of these...

...and there goes another one. Another day down the toilet. I was pleased about just marking time at work. The patheticness of this is not lost on me. But I am forming a plan. I will not be doing this forever. With an end (meaning both a finish point and a purpose) in sight I'll make it.
