suckers. all of them.
i've never been a person to have new year's resolutions. i can't ever remember making one seriously before. this year, however, i've had more adult decisions to make and more adult trials and errors than ever before, and it seems this year quite a few resolutions have passed my mind.who knows if i will keep them. it seems so lame. this is the time of year when weight watchers' and gyms' sales skyrocket. the gym by my house in c'ville always posts this on it's board around the new year: "look great in 2005 how long have you been interested? join now." and the suckers always fell for it. by june, their membership cards are worn and crumpled, but only because they've sat unused at the bottom of a purse or in a wallet.
it's strange how becoming an adult has such an effect on your creative life. i never understood why my mom stopped painting. i always swore i'd never stop drawing; that'd i'd always have time for it. now, though, here i am. out of ideas, out of energy, and i never draw anymore. i'm tired after work. i want to hang out with kris. i really feel i've lost my... something. kevin suggested i set one night a week aside to do nothing but draw or paint. i hate that i have to set a date to do something that before came so naturally to me and i swore i'd never lose.
maybe that's the big resolution i'll make to myself this year. i guess being an adult includes a lot of resolving to be like the kid you wanted so badly to grow out of.

see, what you have to do is, draw at work. instead of doing work, like me. or, find a place to work where no one else has even a shred of artistic talent, so then when they need a logo or an ad, they look to you since it's free!
that's what i do. i ended up being able to fill my portfolio with some really impressive stuff just because i was bored at work.
you need to fucking write, you talented mother fucker.
