nice weekend

boy the sun is out its cool, and i am listening to the fight club sound track,
i am also redefineing my new websit,
i am going to pull about four "zones" from the past
i think thats the best way to just do this add and subtract from zones of work,

Ahh screw ebay selling, i go threw a love hate ralationship with the deal, one person told that, the same amount of work that could be a put into a twenty dallars sale could go into a 200 buck sale, so , i need to stop the ebay posting,its fun but only if some out there buys,
Its been one of the several conversations about the "value" of art, i am always an underseller, but i also make alot of work, too, a couple of my friends price way to high up, and i wonder like who the hell collects this kinda of work , in this price range, ?
i get into arguements about it alot,
i was in this group show over in this arty like theater, and i had as one of my prices,( six twelve packs of natty lite), some of the the artists are like , you cann't do that, when they were priced at 200$plus, i said well put free or a dallar, no one cares! i could put "ill pay you to take the thing", , beer is some thing i spend money on, so its a good trade,
it was chicken george work, so what the fuck , it don't matter,

"Who is gonna take you seriously,?" is an outcry i here from time to time, i think i am uncovering the old slacker Austin traits around here, in contrast to SA, the stradgy about it all is ,
at least I have always felt that once you switch gears in to the serious mind set your threw

, this thing takes on a differnt light, a differt animal you can see it here around here,
its just your mind making up stuff,! art works,! there is no art measureing gauge, ohh wait thats called shows, etc
i am likeing it to corrpate mentality, this ambitioin, like little badges of authority, humm that would be ok if we were in the army but this is art,?, its a society, something that if yu wanted to check out of you can,.

one of my favorite antidotes form here is this older lady said, "what are you doing to add to the contempory dialoge about art,?" i said "well thats not my montra, " well if your ever to be taken seriously your going to be have to be adressing serious issues,"
i rember saying " you know it seems like ever person with serious issues trying to participate in the the contemproy art dialoge is a blow hard, i think thr contepory art dialoge finds you, you don't potition it"

"Why are you here?" is another outcry i get,.

i liken this whole experiance, to this,
it dawned apon me a while back

you have to keep in mind i failed a grade in elementary school and was in the bottem of my class rank, i had to prove to some of my old teachers in high school i was admited to a junior college, by showing them transscripts,,. well i liken this whole adventure of this, to this;
imagine you have a whimpy kid who was beet up by a bully, in school , then after school was done, the kid was training for 15 years while the bully got fat and lazy, but by then the kid was a gladiator, and you reunite them and lock them in a room for two years, imagine what might happen,,.

--=-=

these are two figures the "look what the gator threw up", i am putting paper on them today, trying to speed up this deal,
-=-=-=-=

ahhh

There has beeen a tendency to run myself into the ground about all this and never try to make a sucess out of the art world like , runing a ship ashore to avoid a bad reef, , but the ship never sank but it is emoble,
i dn't know, its one of the switchs i am here to decied about all this but, i do here the old barns calling, but then i do also here the party life, here in SA, i am to youg to go all hermit , cause as soone as thats set in you might as well forget it, its city of chickens all the way,
if i had to prdict the future, about this
but until then lets party!
