That was an interesting read, though there's probably quite a mainstream thread running through it. All external stimuli forces change, and when you're young, there's no end to it. Later on you'll be expected to be your own person, but you'll probably be accused of being... who you were when you met them, spent time with them.
Eh, it's too late at night to talk of such things....
It's really the kind of talk that occurs during a delirious 3 a.m. meditation. It comes and goes.
Good luck with the November show. I live on an old farm with too many cats, so I wouldn't be interested in some of what you're offering, but a lot of your artwork does speak to me, just not something I can wear a T-shirt of at my age.
I may have watched some of your movies in the past and faved you (I went over my fave limit, and a lot of folks got lost): Looking forward to seeing your work!
Hey thanks for the add! I think if my stuff speaks to at least a few I must be doing something right. There's a fav limit? Hm, interesting I didn't know that.
It's probably just over a thousand, though I've noticed I've never had more than 1064 (NG members fanned)... guess I'm a packrat of noting/supporting peoples accomplishments. And since there's an upper limit, I guess there's a certain built-in austerity and value to it, to whoever would give a fuck.
At the very least, you've convinced me to pick up all the old bones scattered around the farm, some of which are older than me! Most of them are chicken and pork bones we gave to the plethora of cat we had on the farm... lot of possum, groundhog, if I dug around out back, I'd have horses, ponies, goats, fox, raccoon. Any ideas what I could do with them? Wouldn't want them to get moldy and decay...
Oh how fun! All those bones! If they're ribs, arms, vertebrae, or long bones they can become a necklace. Esty has a ton of artists who do just that and do fairly well. Skull are extra special. They make great decorations for bookshelves, or you'll find a kook who will want a skull. If you find the, disinfect them, but if they have hair/flesh on them submerge the bones in cold water until the flesh is rotted off. bleaching is optional if you want a skull whiter than porcelain.
They are quite old, maybe 10% bleach detail cleaning? I'll keep them well lit, could always bust out a blacklight till they're dry (exposed marrow's going to be an issue). The UV B rays kill bacteria, mold and viruses; they also use specific bulbs in hospitals and water treatment, air ventilation, but don't look at them, you'll go blind :p
Yea that sounds good, nothing too harsh!
In the 90's, I once photoshopped all the dead mice (in their traps) that I caught, and made a nice little ring of them around the edges of a desktop picture... which was a still shot from a Monty Python bit called 'Killer Cars'... towards the end, the 'Killer Cat' looms over Trafalgar square, ready to eat and swat cars. The mice border made a nice accompaniment to the Frankenstein posed Persian, I thought.
sounds like a normal artist from berlin (from what i've been told be colleagues)
Eh, just a novice screwing around, it's not like the mice were preserved in their traps and mounted on a nice frame! Pardon my brain, but is that the old singer from REM, as your user icon?
Nah this is robert smith from The Cure. He's a cool cat that looks like an oldie goth but he's talented enough to get away with it. something i want to get away with when i'm older and not look like a weeb.
Old enough to have heard The Cure's first album, and also old enough to forget O_O I've heard nothing but good things about Robert Smith, but pulling off that look... I used to get all kinds of dirty looks when I had my hair out. It's nice to know some people just don't give a fuck.
I did have my hair just like that, few current friends have seen that era of fucked up pseudo 80s goth hair that looks like someone nutted in your hair in a windtunnel.
Well, when you describe it that way lol, doesn't sound so appealing!
it really isn't because your hair feels dry, tangled, full of cheap hairspray, and smells like dank pit if you don't wash it. But not washing it hives that 80's filthy "i was in the club until 5 am" look
Ah, the peak of hairspray use, I stuck to mousse. Saw one too many chicks with their bangs/fringe on fire, and that at a time when Zippos and Ronsons were still cool.
cooked hair is awful, it smells like musty scrambled eggs
Flamey hair still smells like burning hair, that's how you de fur pigs the easy way. Also (they say) if you need to start a fire, your hair will do to get things started :p
I've never posed for a picture by someone's graveside before... just memorials were no one was buried.
the dead appreciate it so long as you're not cursing in the devil's tongue while fucking someone.
Really? Hmm, wish I had read your response a day earlier... actually, you never know who's buried where, especially in the older places in the world. And I couldn't understand her language, so I wasn't saying much, especially bad words... I could be cussing in Latin, and ppl would know :|
Congrats on teh FP :)
probs explain some weird shit that happens to people haha. an unknown curse because someone did anal on an unmarked grave.
also thanks man. :)
Doing anything for Halloween, dressing up, getting bombed, getting dressed up as a bombed ebola patient?
i was gonna wear a shitty rabbit mask around, but people want like 15 dollars for a shit latex mask like what is that. nah too much. going with a back up plan and lookig like an emancipated vamp. if my buds don't flake or i'm not sloppy seconds with buds might fuck around haloween, not serving customers friday DAY OFF FUCKER. URSELF?
Caught your little front page quote... why shouldn't I wanna self improve?
Me? Blah, nothing, except maybe going to a bar, where the servers narrowly voted to dress up this week. Wonder if the guy servers and staff will also dress up...
You know I don't even remember posting anything up there. it's a habit, posting garbage up on that message thing when half asleep. it's stupid really.
What was stupid: the message, or being able to post a message there?
What you did say there kinda rattled me though :\
both. well, no that's a lie. that little frontpage message quip is really handy in the right hands, not for people with diareah of the mouth.
I don't normally have brown rain coming from my gob, but there's been times my words hit the shit... if I'm caught by surprise, or at a lack of words, sometimes I'll ask/say something sensitive to someone, usually while we're alone, subconsciously trying to find out (the easiest way) who I'm looking at |:
i do that, but to see how much i can reveal myself to someone very lose without driving them away with my shit. sometimes i'll do it on purpose to get them away. no one want's to be with someone with excess luggage.
I like the new test comic, though the text is a little hard to read at that resolution. It reminds me of a friends comic page he did when he was a younger man, though yours is far more expressive and ethereal.
yea i figured the resolution was a bir small. doesn't help i write like i'm having a fucking seizure. :)

Wow, that's self reflection and a half! Self reflection can be a blessing and a curse, but you always come out of it with a lesson to learn. I too am doing my own soul searching and while at times it's really hard to make sense of everything, i find peace or the ability to cope with what i went through. I wont write a huge amount in my reply as you seen to have a handle on things, but i learnt about something the other day that my pique your interest: The Johari Window (http://www.mindtools.com/CommSkll/JohariWindow.htm) and i think it may give a little help or understanding as to why self reflection can be important as well as a small understand of how your mind is working whilst reflecting.
I won't offer you masses of clichés because they can be (in their own right) very patronising. However i will offer this one: If at any time you need to talk, rant, scream, cry, whatever; I will always be here to listen and offer advice if needed. You don't have to do this alone.
