Industry

M asked me what I was doing today

I told him nothing

he didn't buy it

but sure enough
by about 1:30

I had accomplished

nothing

I love that we're still at the stage
where everything about me is still good

he told me that he was surprised and a bit proud
that I have the ability to do nothing

I laughed

You admire that I'm lazy?

You're not lazy

(laughing) - you always think the best of me

his point was that people who work on projects
craft
re do furniture
etc

can't stand to sit still
and do nothing.

can't just rest
and be at peace.

now -- I didn't succeed in doing nothing all day

I worked on making a pair of comic book themed shoes

but that's not the point

here we are -- 8 months later.

and still?

still thinks all my faults are assets.

this long-distance thing has it's benefits.

  1. Aiii! ... I love you too, even with your random apostrophes;).

    My news year's resolution is not to have any new ideas or start any new projects (unless someone gives me money for it).

  3. Just not living together has big benefits. I think a duplex. A His and her duplex might be about perfect.

      with huge wings

  4. but see? doing your art isn't doing nothing, first off, and second? it truly is a gift if you can do nothing...i have the hardest time sitting still...(of course there are 1,001 things to do and i'm the main do-er in my family so...there ya go)..

    now i'm pinching time from here and there to read a book.

    Later today i'm doing art with the kids...the time will fly by...and i'll feel like i did something useful...cutting hearts and making a 3-d heart-mobile...

    and that is so much more rewarding than scrubbing the toilet is...even if it could just be labeled..."useless"...i just don't see it that way.

    art is useful...if you're of the "right" mindset, LOL...
