Taking the pressure off.

I woke up this morning upset and drained. I’ve already spilled an entire cup of tea across the keyboard and mouse and had to spend 10 minutes blow drying them to get them to work again. I’m a bit of a wreck. I’m going through a major healing process right now emotionally, and its really [...]

Dear Seth Godin – I really wish I could apply for this.

If you’ve ever wanted to change the world, you should probably do this. If you love Seth Godin, you should probably do this. If you’ve ever wanted to change your own life for the more amazingly better, you should probably do this. Seth Godin is offering a 6 month apprenticeship for a few select, special [...]

We interrupt our usual programming for some spam!

I got this email today, and nearly choked with laughter. This makes so little sense, that I couldn’t even understand why the spammer bothered sending it. Just read. “I have One wife and two mistressses… I can fuck them all several times per day! YOU CAN TOO: CLICK HERE Of these things the first are [...]

Forgotten.

When I posted earlier, I was lying. I did have something very specific on my mind, but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to blog about it. In fact, I was trying to ignore it and pretend it didn’t matter. But I was failing miserably at it, so here I am, back again. Lately, my [...]

Good morning, Monday.

I really don’t seem like I have anything to talk about on here. So its just going to be a bunch of stuff that I’m thinking about this morning. Item #1: Wall-E. Oh my god, just go watch it. I saw Wall-E last night and fell in love. I want a Wall-E. I want a [...]

Positivity Fridays: What a week.

Awesome Thing #1: My friend George! George, as I described earlier this week, is an awesome friend. He totally helped me out this [...]

Learning to be me, one day at a time.

I talked about money issues the other day. In my attempt to resolve them, I decided to borrow some money books from the library. Turns out they really got me thinking about my journey the past year and so I thought I’d share my thoughts with you here. Desire So you know how I said [...]

The drought is over. Finally.

For the past few months I’ve had a creative dry spell. If you’re an artist, you know what I’m talking about. For me, I’ve been stuck on the painting of my best friend, as well as a couple of others. But months were going by and I wasn’t finishing anything. I felt like I was [...]

I fell for the starving artist myth, hook, line and sinker.

I have a weird problem. It’s not even a problem really. I don’t know what I’d call it. Let me attempt to explain. I can find opportunities galore. I don’t know why, but I just have to breathe and I get opportunities, especially related to my art. I make friends easily, and I have this [...]

Positivity Fridays: A New Tradition! (Because I just complain too much.)

Welcome to the first ever edition of Positivity Fridays. I realized last night that I spend far too much time complaining on this blog, and being negative and feeling stuck. Which is all well and good, because that’s just where I am right now. But I’m never going to get out of that, unless I [...]
