I'm in one of my moods today. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing yet. I'll warn you right now though. I have absolutely nothing planned for this post. All I did for the past many hours was listen to music and work on art.
Feel like seeing something you've not seen before?
Here:
One would think...
Giving such an intriguing piece of art a terrible name like The Eyesore would be a bad idea. Fortunately, in my world over here and within my mind, there are no bad ideas.
For a long time I considered presenting that piece vertically. That black dot almost came equipped with a letter 'G'. Then I was going to name the piece, The G-Spot.
But then I thought if I did that, people would assume I painted a vagina.
That is not a vagina.
It's The Eyesore and I think I just made it ten times worse trying to explain it.
Why can't I simply publish my work and shut up?
This is how I distract myself from current events.
There's so much shit on my mind right now. I'm seeing the latest wave of posts on the platform talking about how one is handling their quarantine.
I packed up and got the hell outta town long before most folks I know were even taking things seriously. They thought I was an idiot and some days I think they're right.
I'm in the middle of nowhere, staring at a frozen lake, wondering why the fuck it won't just melt already.
Even the geese are looking at it like wtf is this shit.
I don't like talking about this virus stuff. I don't like thinking about it. I'm not even forced to be in this situation. I put myself here.
In a couple weeks I was to be back at work but apparently that's not going to happen now. Just found that out today. "We'll play it by ear."
I try my hardest to not take things personally. It's easy to become distracted from reality and begin to wonder, why is this happening to me.
That feeling of losing control isn't for me. I expect life to throw a few curve balls but at the same time, I want to at least be able to stand at the plate, ready to take a swing, not be benched, or cut from the team.
Even though I'm alone way out here I know I can't be alone in the world wondering what's next?
Ah ha!
Bet you didn't see that coming!
I don't even want to mention how much time this post took to produce so far. I will say I feel fortunate to have this outlet though.
It's all keeping me sane, although all signs might be pointing elsewhere.
Anyway. That looks like about 500 words and I don't want to hold up traffic so...
Have a nice day.
