I’m ridiculously tired from staying up so late last night. I’m trying not to go to sleep at like 5 p.m. and screw up my schedule. My auction ends in three hours and 30 minutes, and it’s only up to $338. I don’t think I’m going to be successful. You never know though.

I was SO in the mood for Crossover today. I absolutely am in awe of their lyrics. I heard that they have another album as well. I need to get my hands on it. I love bands that are impossible to classify, and Crossover is definitely one of them. Same thing with Daedalus… their music would best be classified as the internal musical monologue of John Wayne Gacy.

I can’t believe with all my sleep deprivation I was able to work on my painting. I guess having no sleep is great for doing tedious tasks (drawing the grid). And I already had the idea of what I was going to do in my mind, only the actual “doing it” part remained.

Check it out.

I need to paint it now, but that requires fine motor skills that I only have when actually awake.

That’s pretty much my only accomplishment for the day, besides downloading more porn. Sex is such a waste of time. But then again, it’s the main reason the Internet was so successful.

I don’t know why, but talking with that old friend from grade school (Tamara) in my psychology class really got me thinking about art (she draws and such). I have to see and talk about other people’s art to be inspired to do my own. When I’m not exposed to art, I never get any good ideas. Anyway, I think I’m going to love my current painting. It will be totally cool. And I will definitely put a bunch of pictures up when it’s done. Well, I must go and obsessively hit the refresh button on my eBay listing.
