And Then...

I get hugged, yelled at, glared at, thanked, and even painted while doing my job. I get along with most of the people I work for except the people who can tell me what to do. Some days I really wanna quit, but mostly because I need more money. However, sometimes it's worth it...
There was a woman who came in with her kids. This lady whose been in before kept leaving to talk on the phone and everytime she came back she looked even more upset. At one point she sat down and started cupping her eyes with her hands. I walked up and put a box of tissues in front of her. She smiled a bit. several hours later when leaving she stopped by the desk and nodded her head in thanks. I told her that I hope whatever it was works out for the best. She teared up and thanked me with a huge smile. It had been a shit filled day.

People Make My Brain Itch.

It's troubling to have a friend who is about to make a huge mistake. It's even more troubling when you've spoken to that friend and tried to persuade them otherwise. The icing is when they say they "know what they're doing" and decide to continue you on for the sake of making a mistake. So my mistake, I mean having a threesome with two of her friends. If Ms. Brown reads this please reconsider, don't be a complete moron. I'm all about breaking one's sexual boundries but a threesome with two of your best friends especially these friends will only end in awkwardness and depression of our subject. She WILL regret it. And I just don't get it because she knows how depressed she gets. Well I hope I'm wrong.

Oh Shut Up, It's FICTION!

So the Da Vinci code was good. Despite the fact that I was with someone who begged my attention most of the way through the movie, it was enjoyable. Now I admit I have not read the book, and thank goodness. It would have spoiled the ending for me. *grins* It is too bad that uptight christians the world over can't get past their chronic defensiveness about some minor, made up blasphemy and embrace the movie for it's strong message of faith in God. It's like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in that respect. Then again thats the problem with the world isn't it, people are quick to jump to conclusions about things they know nothing about and thus learn to hate them. Thank goodness for curiosity.

I Speak The Truth, They Kick My Ass.

I don't usually post so frequently but this is my blog!

It's no mystery to anyone that female-related drama and myself go together like spring-breakers and morning after pills. Even given my sorted history with the fairer sex I've managed to piss off so many women in the last week that it blows my mind. The one thing that each incident had in common with the other was that I was being honest to them about something completely mundane. Tonight being the most unarguably ridiculous.

She got pissed at me over a conversation about a cell phone. Forget the details, it's a cell phone not a pro-life pro-choice debate! Well in talking with the one person I can count on in these odd circumstances we decided that my deal is that I live in the podunk bible belt, and that I'm incompatable with 90% of women here because I'm a city boy at heart. Hey clarity can be good but it's also kind of sad. If odds weren't bad enough for me for finding a nice girl to fall in love with now I've gotta discount 90% of the market. No wonder I've been single for 2 years. I'm a sucker for challenges I guess...

Of Showers and Tagging

I've been on such a dead streak lately with any artistic doings. I just don't have motivation for anything anymore. Day in day out I go to my lame job and then come home to sleep. That is until my sister got home from Uni. She was showing me pictures of graffiti in Charlston, SC. One of the tags I really liked, it said " Showers are for dirty people." So I dropped my concern with "laws" and started tags like that around downtown Columbus. Slowly I find my artistic inspiration returning. Sadly, work has left me exhausted for the past week so I haven't been able to take advantage of this musing. More later...

Lovely Internets

Ya know, we live in interesting times. Sometimes I feel so connected to the whole world through my personal use of technology. I cross-use my iPod, laptop and a few websites like Wikipedia all the time. It's just an odd feeling. Earlier I started out a search on google looking for some ideas for my next couple Art Projects here at the museum and less than 20 minutes later after some link traveling I ended up on a San Franciscan's blog looking at his flickr account. Yes, I AM easly side-tracked but thats not my point. Having so much culture and experience a few clicks away is an awesome thing.
