I haven't been able to sleep, my rhythm is all messed up from being sick for 4 days. I watched a DVD about the Ramones for the 3rd time and saw Joey in another deeper light. I'm grateful that I was a part of the NY scene back then and have 2 Ramone tickets that prove that I've seen them. Anyone can claim to have seen them after the fact. nanananana :0

It's snowing out and my cat is sitting next to me as I type this. He's been following me around in my sickness and just kind of annoying me or making me laugh at his cat behavior. Right now he's trying to capture my apple; he truly believes it's a living thing, he keeps smacking it with his paw. This sickness did me some good, I managed to crash after working too much and I want to set my priorities straight again. My family and loved ones come first, the rest is just stuff that can be replaced or can wait if it costs too much right now. I have nothing in me that gives me a good future as a rat in the big race, nothing except madness.

I heard that there's an artist that starved a dog in his art gallery, are we really becoming this twisted? I also ran across that documentary about Tibet and it broke my heart. There are a few documentaries that have done that to me recently and I feel true shame for mankind. There is nothing that can justify what is being done to those people, it's just as bad as trying to justify Stalin or Hitler. I've always felt a connection to their art and way of life, I can't believe that China might succeed in wiping them out.

Anyway, there are a few birds outside my window singing and I need to try to catch some sleep. It's good to fall asleep to their song, it brings back memories of all nighters where I couldn't stop with a painting I had started. I hope that magic comes back, I want that feeling again.

I had such a sane and peaceful day. I didn’t really feel creative but I just felt happy. I had seriously forgotten what that feels like and it seems like such a big deal for me now, just to be happy about nothing in particular.

My son is on his learners permit thingy now and he drove me around in rush hour. It was very comical; the poor boy drove around Reykjavik in circles because his mom kept forgetting stuff or giving totally messed up directions. It was so much fun and we laughed alot.

I’m getting rid of my car next week since a gallon of gas here is around $10. It’s not worth it and I live close to everything anyway. I’m going to try it and see how it goes; I managed to live without a car until I was 29, I should do OK. I also miss the way my legs looked; walking makes them nicer. I swear it does, I’m not kidding.

Dope-Sick Love

This is a HBO documentary about 4 drug addicts in NYC. They’re followed around for 18 months and I have to say that this is the saddest and most realistic documentary I’ve seen on this subject.

The Laughing Heart

your life is your life
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.

-Charles Bukowsk

Occupation 101

This is a deeply disturbing documentary that tells the truth about what is going on for Palestinians. Educated people and people of influence all over the world are starting to open their eyes to the human rights violations Palestinians have to endure daily.

Lazy stuff and the satanic sock hop

I’ve been working too much this week and need a break. I want a lazy day by myself where I can just hang out in my pajamas, eat Ben & Jerry’s Ice cream, read a good book and fall asleep regularly through out the day. I started my own business to get out of the rat race, I suspect that all of my working life will be spent doing some kind of a race. I really want to live somewhere where a gallon of gas isn’t almost $10 and where 500g of chicken doesn’t cost $20. I think Iceland is the most expensive place in the world?

Anyway, I’m grateful that laziness is something I’m craving at the moment. About 9 months ago I was struggling with much bigger and serious problems. I’m grateful that I have my son, 2 crazy cats and great friends.

Enjoy this video, I always do. I think I’ve been spamming people with this for 2 yrs. now. HAHA, my poor friends!

The Satanic Sock Hop

Deja Vu

I find it incredible to see how our computer technology is advancing at a rapid pace. Especially in the graphic field, some of the stuff being done today we couldn’t imagine happening 5 years ago. Anyway, my friend Vous En Aurezon here shared this with me and while I watched this I felt like someone had gotten into my head and stolen my dreams and thoughts. If you want to know what goes through my head sometimes this will give you an idea. Enjoy :)
