Talk about anything that pops into your mind in here, over a nice
cold beverage(or hot, if you prefer). Sports(American and
everyone else, lol), work or play. Anything but art. And keep it
civil, folks, or Marcus, that 300 lb. gent standing by the door
will have to ask you to leave. Have fun.
According to the latest statistics
I have 31.6 years left. Having
lived 46 years it is sobering to
think that I am on the down hill
side of the journey. I really have
a fever though to make a difference
now some how. Strange, when I was
18 I swore I didn't want to live
past 45. I thought that was
ancient.
Ones perspective has a way of shifting as the eternal dirt nap starts to come into view!!!

The eternal dirt nap! Ha! what a
good way to describe death, or, I'm
just popping over the hill for an
earth sandwich.
I know frankin, at the age of 20 you think no-one could possibley really want to live past 40, bloody ancient!
i started this art thing late in life, I was at college with 20year olds, kids my sons age, they were great on the whole, but one boy would repeatedly point out I was as old as his mum! great!

When I was 20, I wanted to live to
be 200. While I was married, in my
30's, 100 was plenty. Now I'm in my
late forties, and although I'm in
no rush for the big sleep, I don't
want to prolong the show any more
than I have to. Those aches and
pains catch up to you, FAST!
Haha too true. I was diagnosed with
diabetes this year as well! When
they stat taking the fun stuff away
from you, it makes you less than
optimistic about kicking around
forever.
When I was married to my ex I took a lot of chances. The relationship made me feel hopeless. Glad that shite is over.

Wow! I didn't mean to come across
so pessimistic in the last post. I
am quite amazingly happy these
days. I have the perfect mate in my
life, I am doing art that I like
doing, and we are fairly
comfortable as far as the crappy
economy goes!
Two things you will enjoy as you
get older, tho, are the sudden
outcroppings of hair, where no hair
existed before. And no need for a
full nights sleep(probably due to
all the time you wasted in your
youth, that you are trying to make
up for).
Yup, sleepless, and hairy........in Seattle.

guess I'm reading this at the right
/ wrong time of night...I'm in
danger of going all existential and
contemplating the meaning of life,
the chances of continuing existence
after the big event, and whether I
will EVER be comfortable with
random hair-growth :-)
Oh, it's great. I sit and
contemplate the direction I'm
taking a new piece in, while
wistfully braiding my ear tufts
with my fingers. Think of it as zit
popping for old people. lol
I know... I have acquired a bold
spot that is expanding. It is like
the rings of a tree I figure when
it expands outwards s that I have
no hair, it's time for funeral
arrangements.
Although I guess you could argue that the hair is simply migrating downwards as gravity has it's inevitable way with it. I end up with it in my ears and n my back. I guess gravity never stops tugging at us until we are nestled snuggly in mother earths bosom.

As crazy as this is going to sound,
I've never met a bald headed man
till I moved to Florida. I can't
even recall seeing one in person.
Louisiana boys usually have a full
head of hair till they die. And, of
course, everybody from Florida
comes from somewhere else. Usually
Yankees. Must be stress.
I started going bald at 26. At 34 I
could no longer take it and shaved
my head. Been bald ever since (2
years).
I have to say it seems so much less to worry about. Only one drawback I can see so far. It is 20 degrees here tonight and that tends to give a bald guy a brain freeze....

Heh... for two years I shaved my
head every morning. Kept it shiny
as can be, I was often told that it
made me look like a serial killer
which really appealed to my dark
side! When I met my wife, I had a
little hair up top. She asked if
I'd let it grow long like I used to
have it. Now it is below my
shoulders and you can only see the
bald spot from the back. It kind of
reminds me of all those aging rock
stars that make their comeback
tours to pay for all those years of
rehab and fast cars. Hah.
Is anyone else here doing a 635
photoblog? One of those where you
have to take and post a picture
every day?
I have one set up. it's kind of fun and I guess at the end of the year you have a pictoral diary of your life to look at to remember things. At my age I need all the help I can get remembering things!
If you want to check out mine here is the url:

If anyone has bought a Corel
product before, they are running a
special for folks that have
registered software with them. Most
products are over 50% off. I am
getting Painter x with a free
Jeremy Sutton instruction DVD for
$209! That is almost $300 off the
retail price of these items. This
sale is only for registered
customers. Here is the link if you
want to check it out.

You have to sign in so that they know you are a registered owner of a product. This is too good of a deal for me not to spread the news! Cheers and good luck!!

Thanks gents, feeling better today.
Art, it is difficult as all get out to remember to take a picture every day. That is why you see a lot of last minute looking ones on the site. Sometimes I am feeling rather artistic, others I just want to get one taken so I don't miss a day. It'll still be an interesting photo diary to check out at the end of the year. When I say to myself where did 2008 go? I can refer to it and go... Oh yeah!

franklin - i think the "last
minute" stuff is a reassurance to
all of us as artists. a slice of
life as it were. the people and
pets in our lives, the small things
we notice. it's how we get to know
each other, it's how we become one
world. only artists are free enough
in the mind to do that. i
particularly liked your shot of the
bathroom faucet where there's
actually a reflection of you taking
the picture.
for myself, i'm hoping that doing one a day helps to establish a better rhythm in my relationship with the camera.
