I’ve been very lazy in the last time. Did not much except watching a few movies, TV shows and anime on my little computer screen. Nope, don’t have a TV! For me, watching all this stuff was extending my horizon. Yes – watching TV is almost education for me. I was as lazy as human being can possible be. I watched the pilot of Caprica, well this Cylon with human soul as the first Cylon ever.. I don’t like that. You can’t screw up given history that existed in our imagination so long with a bad, made for a larger, now also more female target audience! You damage everything that ever was and that will ever be with my Cylon brothers and sisters! …

. . .

I let my self down, felt down and in a way.. I guess I needed it. I was so lazy, I did not even pick up my art from the Sleeping Giant. It’s still somewhere there in an too small storage room. But now I have too move my lazy ass, since my art want’s to be seen again!

The reception at the Giant was mostly good, had some very interesting conversations. Of course not everyone liked it. In some peoples faces I could see the shock. The shock of seeing the pictures – and as they hope, unseen, the shock of their own reaction. The most aggressive reaction came from someone who seemed first very moved, then quickly decided discussed.

My art is horny, want’s to get laid again. And so it’s moving into a new place. Rolly’s Garage, an underground art gallery erected inside of an old auto shop. My art is looking forward to be there, mingling with more then two handful other artist’s. And yes, Lisa will be there too, showing her stuff. I am excited to see her new paintings. (Thank you again…!) I am really looking forward to this artistic orgy. There will be music, there might be a BBQ, and several things going on throughout the two weeks show. Should be somewhat cool! Not just for artist’s, it’s a party! : )

I found out, don’t know why, it’s just fun to sit in a gallery, talk to people and staring at the artist’s work. It’s like being in a bar, you get music, you get drinks, you get chicks and besides that – you actually have something more meaningful to talk about.. ; ) I’m glad to have something to do.

I was so bored and needed something. I was close to do stupid things just because I had nothing else to do. It’s so weird. I thought maybe I should get drunk or something like that, just to bring me down, just to ground me for a while. That way I could raise up afterward.The last time I tasted alcohol was early 2004, it was the last time I swallowed the smoke of a bong, it was the last time… the list is endless… I’m good in fighting my way out and up to a certain level but then there is this endless point when nothing seems to move, nothing makes sense anymore. I am good in fighting, good in going trough tough times. I am able to manage hard situations, real challenges. But having an ordinary life, no major problems, just day in and day out the same routine. Please no! It won’t be a third  world country that will kill me, nor will it be some war zone, weeks of fasting, living on the road, nor jumping out of the plane into the jungle, nor will it be a desperate love story. It will be ordinary life in a city, without mission, without a goal that makes me move. If you know the movie Apocalypse Now, maybe you remember in the very beginning as Willard, the main character, was sitting in his room waiting for his mission, almost going crazy. Well, I never experienced a war like the character and many soldiers in real life did and I never experienced a being-on-hold like that, but I know exactly how it would feel, and every word he speaks, every thought he thinks becomes my own. Now I have a little mission, something to do and I just look forward to the day when I give back the keys of my temporary home and say good bye! I miss the road!
