Anyway, I've been a busy bee...Tuesday a catering gig for the Sundance Channel, it was in A huge expensive furniture store on 19th & Broadway, hmm Wednesday...nothing exciting, Thursday morning I had a call-back for a Washington Mutual print ad, which I did not book. Assholes. And they are my f*ing bank too! Jack donkeys. Oh well, i'm over it. later that day, had another catering gig actually Thursday was the Sundance thing, i haven't a clue what i did Tuesday. Probably just sat being black. Friday I had a shoot for "Occunomix" they make all the bright and reflective stuff for construction companies, the people down working in the subways, anything you see thats bright and/or reflective. It was in Long Island, i had to get up at 6:30 to be at Penn St. at 7:30, to be there at 9:30. your boy was tired. i'm talking dung beetle tired. Later that day, Met up with pumpkin brain for awhile (Michelle aka whippersnapper) thats about it, i had to pack it in early cause i had another catering gig sat. morning. So yeah, sat. morning had another catering gig, for NYU Medical class reunion...graduation dates went all the way back to 1947. Hey picture me in a tux. yeah that was me. So yeah, i'll try to make the rest of this interesting. But...i'm kinda tired. Good movies: Gridiron Gang(dvd), Perfect Stranger(now playing) I had a really good discussion the other day. I saved some of it...
Doing what you want.

Doing what you want to do is the most unnatural things in life for humans. We are trained to follow. To follow directions, we have our lives set up for us. Our norms, or likes and dislikes. What to buy, what to eat, what to wear. I am an artist. The hardest thing about art, is creating. Not recreating, but drawing something that truly comes from you. It took me years to figure out that I am allowed to draw whatever I want to draw. It sounds simple, but most artist, and drawing, and paintings, are normal. mainstream. Not to hold anything against said works or artists, but I prefer to create something that is impossible to duplicate. The ideas, the look, the feel. To be inspiring. How do you get there? i don't really know. I've been called inspiring..my "career" which doesn't exist.. or does it. My artwork, which is what I love. Maybe i shouldn't say doing what you want. but doing what makes you happy. Living a happy life. It's all perspective. People tend to view me as doing big things, successful. Life is a struggle, but the pursuit of happiness is a driving force. I'm not rich. But I can always draw, that makes me happy. I have people who care about me, that makes me happy.

Thanks for stopping by, whomever you may be :) whomever or whoever?
