Jackass quote of the day
"If you think about it we’ve aborted however many – 40 million – Americans through abortion. If those Americans had not been aborted, we might have more laborers here. Consequently, America is not reproducing itself in terms of our own internal repopulation of having a bunch of kids." (07/12/2011)
Where I am at.
"Choked. I choked."
"You'll get it back," I said
"No, I won't. I'm a half-artist. I'm smart and talented but I'm not tough enough to go the distance. It's a curse being a half-artist, caught between being a normal person and a real creative person. I'm nuts like a good artist, but I don't have anything to show for it."
That is exactly how I feel lately. I've been reading this book Fiction Ruined My Family by Jeanne Darst, (which is where this excerpt came from) and when I read that paragraph it really resonated with me.
I haven't finished a painting since I graduated art school in 2007. I start projects I never finish.
I know all these amazing creative people and I envy the tenacious nature with which they continue to create. Maybe I will get it back. Maybe.
