Brain Forest


Day 11 → Something people seem to compliment you the most on.

Skipping ahead in my 30 days of writing, because this is on my mind. And yes, apparently I struggle with forgiveness.

So, Dude, I have an art show up right now, and this tree is the star. I love this tree, and I miss it in my house. I live inside that big knothole right there. I miss it, and now people want it. It's hard to sell art when you don't want to part with it.

And, Dude, I am hanging a second show in 2 parts. First is tomorrow, shit, that is stressful. Then in 2 weeks that tree will move there with it's forest of creatures and brambles. I am happy that my little paintings will have their moment before the tree steals their light. I am excited to share my brain forest with the locals. Ha. I am also terrified and highly anxious. And excited. And freaked. And..... ya.

I still need to crete a website, hello 2010, you're almost gone. I started an Etsy store that needs some paint splashed on its walls. I made a buttload of prints and cards that have been selling. Gumption. Let's do this.

Shit.

Do frogs forgive?

Man, this forgiveness thing is tricky. Anything I am wanting to forgive myself for, I'm thinking instead, you don't need forgiveness, you need a kick in the ass. I want to forgive myself for my financial struggles, but I think the past happened for a reason and there is no excuse for the present. Man up and figure it out. Bad habits in relationships? Same deal. Fitness, yup, ditto. being too hard on myself? Nah, otherwise I'd get nothing done at all. Hmm, a little stuck here. Wait! I forgive myself for not being able to forgive myself! Ha! I win.

Or not. I'll concede that I have points to ponder for a while.

Lets move onto anagrams!

Inverse Fogs - It's hard enough to see through the fog without it being inversed. Translation: quit overthinking so damn much.
Envies Frogs - Don't you too? Yep, me too.
Griefs Ovens - Unforgiving grief steeping in your cerebral oven, just might make your top explode.
Gofers Veins - Gofers shouldn't shoot up, but if they did, I would forgive them.
Forges Veins - Forgiveness allows you to forge through the veins of human connections. Ok.
Forges Vines - Building blocks to the tops of the trees!
Foe Servings - Ahh yes, what nobler dish to serve your foe, than a platter of forgiveness.

There is a point here, I swear

Day 01 → Something you hate about yourself.
Day 02 → Something you love about yourself.

Ok. See? Right there ---------->

No? Really? Shit.

How to make these brush strokes into words?

Day 1 - Obsession: more than just a pervy purfume ad, it is my brian. Whoa, I said Brian, what does that mean? Do I even know a Brian? Never mind. Brain. Yes. See? It itches.

What ABOUT that thing I said at work? Did I offend? Was I misunderstood? Do I care? Am I a bitch for not caring? Dude, who cares? Well, not me obviously. Really? Really. Why is that person interrupting my conversation? Who am I talking to?

Day 2 - Obsession: Just shut up and paint something! Ahh, look at that color. It likes that other one, look, they're dancing. Ooh, make a line there, and here, and whoosh it around up there. Something is scratching at the door. Scritch Scratch, oh look, just a monster hiding in the weeds. Prickly brush, sprouting flowers bearing birds. Calmer, quieter, nestling in my body's center. Whoa, it's been four hours, I love this shit.

Thirty Days of Writing

Thank you to Flutter for letting me copy this writing exercise. Hmm, writing assignment? Task? Project? Ooh, yes, Project. Thank you. My 30 days might be more like 30 weeks, and I'm liable to get distracted a third of the way in, but still, inspiration is scratching at my door.

Jerky boys: Frank Rizzo




I haven't actually tried this job searching technique yet, but just maybe......

No Thank You Please


Do you know someone tried to give me a Tab yesterday?!? Fizzy crack in its pinkest form, pop rocks for my brain. It has now been long enough in Diet Coke recovery, that I have finally lost track of days clean. So, no Yo, no diet pop for me, no aspartame brain fizz, no phenylalanine skin rubs, not even a saccharine soaked snuggy blanket. No, no, and no. I shan't. But, oh my stars, how much more delectable my coffee has become. Anyone else afflicted with an addictive personality? Mmmm, addiction, addiction, mmmm, mmm, mmm.
