The Point

Posted on | March 25, 2009 | No Comments

The thought of having a blog seemed very appealing before I actually had one. The anticipation was similar to the desired acquisition of some new object, like a new bag ( I have a bag fetish. I never buy expensive ones though, because one- I do not have that kind of money, and two- I am very aware of the temporary thrill.) I envisioned writing every day without fail. I thought maybe I would develop a meager following. I thought it would be a nice sideshow to my paintings . My paintings that still have not been added to this site because I have no idea how to do it, and my husband has apparently lost steam…oh God that sounds so bad…like standing on the road stranded with a flat tire, hip extended and hand placed just so…dammit, I can’t change a tire either. I CAN do many things though, and my hands are calloused- just so you know!

The point here is…I now have a blog and I do not write every day, not nearly. I write bi-weekly. Maybe I will try for weekly, and then maybe daily one day. It does not seem to be a problem to check crackbook, I mean Facebook almost every day. But that site I know people actually exist on- so not only does it vaguely feed a bout of loneliness ( you know, the kind of loneliness that when you think about it, you really do not want to be around anyone- the kind of loneliness when the thought of anyone just stopping by to say hey would really be kind of a pain- because it would interrupt your freedom to just wander, lost in thoughts, getting random things done…)- but it also appeals to my voyeuristic nature…or should I say OUR whole culture’s voyeuristic nature. Its our own custom reality show…Anyway, when its time to get back to REAL work, its just a matter of closing the laptop. There are no subtle hints to be dropped to lead a person or people out the door. Ofcourse, there are those friends who are so close that it does not matter. Things can continue moving as they standby, or lounge in a corner shuffling through the bookshelves, or raiding the fridge…thats the best.

Ok, back to THE POINT…what is the point?
