Short Bus

I do love me a short bus. I want a really short one with a bunk bed in the back for road trips in Europe :)

Life Devoted to Art

Life isn't long enough for love and art.

W. Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965), The Moon and Sixpence
I have been thinking about where I want to go as an artist. Do I want to develop a personal style, and find a way to make a living through my art and become famous? Honestly, I don't know if I do. When I found this quote, I was amazed at how accurately it spoke to how I feel. If, on my death-bed, I look back on a life as a great artist achieved at the expense of love and relationship, I will not be satisfied. I want to succeed as an artist, but time spent on any activity is time lost on another. I want to be proud of my life's work, even if it is not a work of art.

In Distress

Sometimes the hero never drops out of the sky at the last second to untie the struggling figure tied up on the tracks. The train keeps right on chugging along. And most times it's not as bad as expected.
