Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
All of the beautiful colors are very, very meaningful
Yeah, well, you know gray is my favorite color

August is here, and I feel like this month will pass quickly. Work is busy, I am working on my project, and I am sitting back and seeing how things unfold. I don't have any preconceived direction for the fall. I feel like I will adjust to whatever comes.
The level of uncertainty doesn't seem to bother me. I am watching the world from an island of relative tranquility that I feel comes with age and knowledge.
Saturday, Sam and I ventured into Detroit to see an Immersive Van Gogh exhibit. It was okay, but I felt it was overpriced. It is always an adventure going downtown. This time, traffic was horrible, the day was extremely hot, and spent a lot of time walking in circles. The city doesn't hold much allure for me.
Tink called me Saturday night while walking home after a night at the bar. She was a bit surly. That girl could really use some therapy. She still has deep issues relating to her parents. In addition to discussing her parents, she rambled on about why I wasn't madder at Billie for leaving me and was mad at me for not going on the kayaking trip this upcoming weekend.
I didn't bother trying hard to explain there was no benefit in being mad at Billie. I am contemplating going on the kayak trip. Still not looking forward to it. It partially depends if Ava can still get together Friday as she wants. I'd much rather see Ava than go kayaking down a river with a bunch of drunk partiers in inner tubes.
At this point, I seem to be fixing things I break as much as expanding my display. I am ready for the show. and my mind is teaming with new ideas. It has been a good experience so far.
Yup, there is that point in the project when it's less about making and more about fixing. That means you're just about done. Very exciting.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I am. My mind is thinking about the nextprojects.
DeleteI wish I could not allow the levels of uncertainty to bother me, I'm not quite there yet, in spite of age and knowledge. *Le Sigh* I do however think we will all have to adjust to whatever comes, so there's THAT.
ReplyDeleteWhatever comes I will manage. No use worrying about the future and forsaking the present.
DeleteI rarely concern myself about uncertainty.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good way to be.
DeleteI wish I wasn't such a worrier. I mean I usually take things that come at me pretty well and the things I worry about hardly ever come to pass so I should be able not stop doing it. I hope you have a good time on the kayaking trip if you go.
ReplyDeleteYes, for all our worrying, it is usually the thing we don't consider that happens.
DeleteI feel like these immersive art exhibits are just for social media appeal and lackluster IRL.
ReplyDeleteIn this case, I think you are right!
