3am Rambling

Spring sure isn’t in any hurry to get here. I’ve been in my house for the past 2 days or so because it’s just too depressing to walk out the door into the wet, gloomy shitfest that is Ohio’s version of early spring.

This also results in my not posting in my Daily Photo for several days, because really? There’s nothing to photograph in shitty weather. I’d say that I have Seasonal Affective Disorder (Sidebar, but how ironic is it that the acronym for that is “SAD,”) but first of all I’m not a doctor, and secondly that seems like one of those diseases people invent because they have nothing else to complain about. Like Restless Leg Syndrome. I’d feel like a hypochondriac. But honestly, I think the weather does affect everyone to a certain extent, and some people just aren’t wired for shitty, overcast weather. Aka me.

The past week or so, my brain has been heavy with thoughts of a big house somewhere warm and sunny with lots of room for a Doberman and a Great Dane to run and frolic in, with a building out back to serve as my studio. I’ve always fancied myself an apartment dweller, but eventually I think I’d want to own property and have room to move around.

My friend and fellow artist Traci has an amazing art house/studio behind her home, and she’s even posted a video tour of it, and I just think it’s the coolest thing. I already have a big list of all of the things I’d want, features and amenities and whatnot. Now I just need to either a.) sell my ass on the corner, b.) find a sugar daddy, or c.) win the lottery. None of those options seem very promising. I’m not sure how much I’d earn as a prostitute, and the only guys that seems to be attracted to me are either 50 years old, or 200 pounds overweight. Such is life.

I’m rambling at this point but I did want to thank all of you who commented on my last entry regarding my artwork. It’s nice to know that I’m not a total failure and I really enjoyed the commentary and encouragement. I’m working on a few projects now, as well as in my visual journal on a daily basis. Thanks, peeps.

I have a week of work ahead of me for two freelance projects, but hopefully the weather improves so I can get outside and shoot in between hours of coding staring at a computer screen.
