fog, a pink umbrella, and art

pink umbrella in a foggy rainy summer day

during my season of unemployment,
i
vow
to
paint.

i've realized over the past year that i lack so much confidence in myself as a painter and an artist. this is mainly the reason i have not touched a single brush for the past year and a half. there are just a few people in my life who have always been so supportive of my love & hate relationship with art. it's because of those few awesome people that i still have this lingering desire to paint again.

no more talking. start painting!

oh, i also want to learn how to use a camera.
and take some pictures that don't suck.
the solution: my own camera and lens.

kidding. i just need discipline and confidence.
okay, go.

2nd post of the day: i need a life
whenever everyone is gone in the office, i sing.
i'm 500% sure i like singing more than anything else in the world.

i like this entry.

you know out of the bags and bags of stuff i threw away and donated, i kept the scraps of wood you had painted on and tried to throw away. very bum-like of me, but i still like them a lot.

but really its not about what i think or what anybody else in your life thinks. but you know that.

you can do it! i expect plenty of paint fumes to be coming from your apartment.

haha i cant believe im gonna say this...

but i miss all the singing.

my favorite is still that o danny boy song.

dude. hannah can't take that ish! unless you are giving it to her as a wedding present. haha. i like that one, but it is not my favorite. not in a bad way, in a way that means i just have a different favorite. that dark one that you keep saying is not finished yet. lots of midnight blues. because i am a dark soul. hahahaha.

anyway dude weekend is coming up and i wish you were here so we could go shopping. going with momo is cool too but i think he's gonna buy a monkey.... o__0 boys.
