Everything scars the skin:
I've been kind of introspective and contemplative lately. There's drama all up in the 'hood at the moment. Friends dating people who are crazy, or who treat them like shit, or who make them depressed. Other friends going through all manner of personal turmoil. Sometimes I wish I could just listen and not let these things affect me, but I can't. And of course it's made me contemplate my own life and where I am, which has led me to exploring some online extension courses at Harvard. Yeah, constant travel, lots of work, side art projects, and now school. And I think I don't have a personal life now! I'll fucking disappear off the face of the planet at this rate.
I've been feeling an itch for change for a while anyway - I'm never content to just rest on my fucking laurels no matter how much I've achieved. A couple of friends and I were talking about their approach to life - there are people who always feel a need to continue moving, continue learning and growing and improving, no matter how many times we've taken two steps forward only to be shoved back a mile. Just because I've taken a lot of steps forward recently without taking any steps back doesn't mean I should stop moving and set up shop. It means I should continue on, taking bigger steps.
Ok, enough with the seriousness. I'm becoming quite the little art collector. Want to see the new paintings I bought last weekend? Of course you do. Warning: they'll probably almost certainly offend you, and they're definitely not safe for work. That's why they're perfect for my living room.
