Avoid The Temptation

It's been over a month! Sorry about that, folks. I'm in the process of replacing love with todo lists and busywork, enduring paralyzing bouts of philosophizing and depression, and going on vacation.

Also if you're happy with the illusion you're living in, everybody needs one let's not kid ourselves, don't take a hallucinogenic scalpel to your brain. It will not be fun.

This is the best sketch from my afternoon at the Harvard Natural History Museum.

Drawings Of Dead Animals

I went to the natural history museum near my apartment and drew some taxidermied animals. It was fun. I'll be doing it again.

Julius Digs It

The music concentration face looks pretentious on some people and genuine on others. It's not always easy to spot the phony though. Julius is for real in case you were wondering.

Strong Coffee, A Cold, Ball Point Pens

I know I should avoid caffeine when I'm high strung and feeling crummy, but I didn't and this is what came out of me in a spazzmotic (sp?) mess earlier today.

The Antichrist Is A System

I was flipping through an old sketchbook this weekend and I saw a sketch I did of this weird couple I met at Logan Airport in Boston.

I was at the currency exchange counter turning dollars to pounds. The couple were behind me in line. The man asked me where I was going and I told him London. He told me he was from Georgia, the state not the country, and he and his wife were on their way to France. Then he made a comment about the exchange rate being unfair, at the time, April 2008, the pound was trading for roughly two dollars. I forgot what I said to him but it was something like, 'Yeah I know we're getting screwed'.

He said, 'Hell of a system huh! Doesn't make any sense to me.'
I nodded and said, 'Yeah it's complicated. I don't understand exchange rates either. They seem arbitrary to me.'

Then he turned the conversation into really strange territory. He continued with, 'Well you know some people will tell you that the Antichrist is going to be a person. The Antichrist ain't gonna be no person! It's gonna be a system!' He turned to his wife, 'Ain't that right, baby?'

She responded with total conviction, 'That's right! It's a system!'.

I didn't know what to say to that. I didn't know if that was insightful or totally stupid. If they were using Antichrist as a metaphor for really bad shit that we will inflict on ourselves then I might agree with them, but I got the impression that they meant Antichrist in the literal Book of Revelations - Judgement Day - 7 Headed Beast - Whore of Babylon sense.

I didn't want to venture down crazy lane, so I just scooped up my pounds from the little aluminum bowl that the clerk just pushed them into from the other side of the bullet proof glass and wished them a nice vacation.

Say Hi To Your New Neighbor

Glad Handers

Do you have a hard time trusting others? Do you feel that everyone is inherently selfish? Do you think most people have ulterior motives when they show you kindness? You probably have a good reason for believing that. Most people are self-centered jerks.

You are too! Because nothing could be more jerky than expecting other people to be kind to you for no reason! There are over 6 billion people on this planet and millions of friendly pets! What makes you worthy of a strangers kindness when there are Golden Retriever puppies they could be giving their affection to!

P.S. I goofed up the Title of this post but caught my error before publishing it. It orginally read 'Gland Handlers'. Freudian slip? You decide.
