collecting/ art

i'm almost at that point. andrew would be so proud! you dont need to have a shit load of zeros behind a number in your bank account.

"there's no such thing as bad taste. if your friends make fun of you, get new friends. never rely on anyones' eye but your own."

real talk from larry rinder

reading material recently.


gallery sitting.



soooooooo sleepy for no reason.  chinglers.

lately.

you have consumed my brain! who would've thought i'd end up with soooooo man of you little guys. and now the fear of how gigantor you'll grow is taking over! but i dont care! i'll love you forever my little plant babies! i will be there forever to whisper in your ears... or leaves!




also ms. serena cole has her first big solo show ever this friday at triple base! get your ass there and be amazed by this awesome cool ass chick. maybe i'll commission her to paint one of my little babies. but probably not cause that's a little crazy.

devoting my brain


to you.

changes. effect. me. way to much.

i like you right now. but my heart still is in love with you. the small choices that are big to me.

also massaging the brain tonight

hope. r.i.p. for now. sorry i never came to see you.
sadness to happiness.
always have hope.
even if it makes you feel lame.
sleepovers!
human bundles of comforters and pillows!
joy-ness.

crushes...

are inevitable. but dont let them actually crush you.

i need to get back it the habit of doing this. i've broken the only real rule of blogging. updates! updates! updates up the cooter!

this feeling.

of wanting to sabotage my life.  to up root myself.  to move to something new.  to start clean.  it excites me.  makes me giddy.  i squeal like a little girl.  i want a change.  i want to explore my life.  live out my possibilities.  

i must prioritize.  i must plan.  i must create structure.  i've excepted that this year is going to not be a waste, but a time for building a better future.  it's a positive thing.  a plus.

there are things i would like to have.  feeling i would like to live.  moments i would like to experience.

i want my life back.  but i want it at it's full potential.

signed,
me

i so sorry.

i've been dealing with my life. i'm back though. no more missing in action. i'm here everyday, all day, all the way, like totally sway! i'm totally telling you the truth. i'm back in the game, baby!

F-U MOMA!

WTF!WTF!WTF!  ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!  SERIOUSLY.  WTF.  $15.  15 BUCKS.  CLAMS.  DUCKETS.  BILLS.  CHIPS.  15 OF THEM?  JUST TO GET INSIDE OF YOU?  ARE YOU SERIOUS.  YOU'RE JOSHING ME.  YOU'RE TOTALLY KIDDING WITH MY BALLS RIGHT NOW.  WTF.

it is now fifteen dollars to get into the moma.  i hope you love art.

shit faces.

i thought...


this page could use some color after all the black and whiteness.  go support Sarah Applebaum and receiver gallery.  it looks like an amazing experience.  i need to go.  keep your ears unplugged for the artist talk.  i skipped the Porous Walker one out of shyness and laziness.   they had cookies!  why'd i go and do that for.  gosh.

chris marker?




i was told of him while telling of kenneth anger.
follow more here ...

thanks francisco! gotta check em!

time changes things. but tex stays the same.

it's funny to think that little red riding hood is basically a story about a thieving pedophile rapist.  funny.

gallery sitting.

scanning brysons work.  well watching malea scan bryson's work.  not thinking about hunger.  wiping my snotty nose.  only checking my phone for missed calls twice instead of fifteen times.  pushing away thoughts of uselessness.  talking to malea about dying from eating to much ramen.  looking for red dots with leef.  updating facebook.  not  understanding facebook.  hating facebook.  reading.  cleaning.  cleaning elyse's mirrors.  cleaning the bathroom, kinda.  sweeping the office and gallery floor.  organizing the snake pit of cords and wires.  fixing the not broken, but no working main laptop.  catching alika's drawing mid air before it landed on the floor from the wall.  waving to people as they come into the space.  nailing a tack back into the wall for oliver's drawing.  being jealous of jesse and katie being able to go to the mission book sale.  being jealous of anyone breathing.  watching little brat kids play around gallery a-stand.  explaining to drunk guy whispering in spanish that i cant understand him.  hoping dangerous does walk through that door and pretend to have a seizure.  figuring out what i'm going to do for dinner.  typing.  sitting.  slouching.  lusting over art.  organizing flat files.  work of michelle blade, james bradley, alika cooper, bryson gill.  stopped at fourth drawer.   sneezed five times.

my Life During Unemployment

I’m getting used to it now Lived in a brownstore, lived in the ghetto, I’ve lived all over this town  This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco, This ain’t no fooling around No time for dancing, or lovey dovey, I ain’t got time for that now  Transmit the message, to the receiver, Hope for an answer some day I got three resumes, a couple of cover letters, You don’t even know my real name Everything’s ready to roll I sleep in the daytime, I sleep in the nightime, I might not ever get out  This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco, This ain’t no fooling around This ain’t no mudd club, or c. b. g. b., I ain’t got time for that now  Heard about houston? heard about detroit?  Heard about pittsburgh, p. a.?  You oughta know not to stand by the window Somebody might see you up there I got some groceries, some peant butter, To last a couple of days  Why stay in college? why go to night school?  Gonna be different this time Can’t write a letter, can’t send a postcard, I can’t write nothing at all This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco, This ain’t no fooling around I’d like to kiss you, I’d love you hold you I ain’t got no time for that now  Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock, I blend in with the crowd We got computer, we’re talking art talk I know that ain’t allowed We dress like students, we dress like housewives, Or in a suit and a tie I changed my hairstyle, so many times now, I don’t know what I look like! You make me shiver, I feel so tender, We make a pretty good team Don’t get exhausted, I’ll do some driving, You ought to get some sleep Get you instructions, follow directions, Then you should change your address Maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day, Whatever you think is best Burned all my notebooks, what good are Notebooks? they won’t help me survive My chest is aching, burns like a furnace, The burning keeps me alive Try to stay healthy, physical fitness, Don’t want to catch no disease Try to be careful, don’t take no chances, You better watch what you say

JESUS!?!

it's been like forevers!  like forevers!  like forevers!  forevers.  forevers.  where have i gone?

gallery chillin'





i feel like i should be doing something else.

WARD&MCGEE

is where you will now find me.  so there.

12-5.



gallery sittin'.  chillin'.  chattin'.  snackin'.  mackin'.

quilting last week. conversational.


is this really what i want?


i want to know all crafts. i want to know all trades. this is gonna derail me from the thing i'm avoiding. if i even get it. which i doubt i will.

o-tay!

experiment time. lets see how long i can go w/o cussin', swearin' or saying inappropriate stuff. let's see. lets see how long i can be negativity free. lets see. let's see if i can lighten my surroundings and thoughts with positive vibes and stuff. let's see if it's possible for me to not have a foul mouth, foul addittude, foul outlook. lets see. starting now i'm going to hate positivly. it's the only way right now. let's try it and see. lets see.

my auntie once told me when i was four that the word hate is the strongest word you can ever use and to use it lightly. ever since then whenever i've uttered the word i've felt that cloak fall over me. the things i say control the things i feel.

alas

dont know why i'm not more stressed about this. am i truly hippy at heart. just probably stupid.

next quilt!

well once i finish up the first, which is right around the corner. it's not like i'm at a lack of time right now. note to self: i hate you self.

it's a peter stegall watercolor from the 7o's. i cant afford the real thing and i cant really cuddle up with it if i could so..... quilt time! but i'm also thinking about paintings from bryson gill, paul wackers and eli geiser. we'll see. we'll see.
