Hello, readers. Welcome to my new blog. Here I will share stories and poetry. Sometimes I will complain and rant. But mostly, I’ll just tell you what I’m doing or what I did the night or day before.
Why? Why not? Maybe this blog will prevent me from spiraling further into facebook addiction.
Today I am very tye tye. Luckily, I don’t have to work. Last night I was an extra in a music video my roommate, Jason Thompson, directed for The Fools. It took place at Bowery Poetry Club where more than a little drinking occurred.
I am about to work on a painting, which seems to be taking forever. I spent two days on the clavicle. I started it after going to the Met and staring at the Vermeers for an hour. Vermeer only did something like 34 paintings in his life because, like me, he had other shit to do. Also, like me, he was an obsessive perfectionist. Finally I am comfortable with doing a painting that will take several months because I don’t plan on showing anything until the economy improves. I figure that gives me two years to paint. I feel a sense of freedom in this collapsed economy.
Many people don’t know that aside from being a writer, I am also a painter. When I write I use my conscious mind and when I need to give my conscious mind a break, I paint using my subconscious mind. Painting is like dancing, breathing or dreaming. I don’t think about it when I do it, but I have to do it to stay sane and stay out of the nuthouse. Some people meditate. I paint.
Now I’m going to do just that.
