Real Life or as much as I can say about it

Ok, it’s been forever since I blogged. So much so that apparently the war ended in my absence. Lol.
Inappropriate humor aside, I’ve been conflicted to say the least. Real Life can really be a bitch sometimes. For those of you that need the info, I will use these letters RL when referring to things concerning that subject matter from now on. We’re having family issues. That’s cryptic. I know. But necessary.

My mother had plans to get 2 of my pieces Things Unseen and Rain framed for my birthday. I chose them at random because going through everything was too complicated. RL happened however and she may need that money for a plane ticket. Sick family members are definitely more important. But she’s being stubborn. So they’re still in her room. Lol. There are other things in regards to RL going on, but I don’t feel comfortable talking about them right now.
I’m still waiting to see what happens with CANVAS after having sent in my app or application several times now. I have no idea whether it’s been received in it’s entirety or in parts. The curators are busy organizing a show and a film festival and while I do understand this, at times it feels like they don’t care enough to at least give me a heads up. I also can’t badger them constantly. There are politics involved. It’s frustrating and I assure you it’s not for lack of effort on my part. So true to form, I will likely not find anything out until the very last minute. All I do know is that I’m tired of the negativity associated with worrying about it. So I haven’t checked my email either. I did send in a thanks but no thanks to one of the curators regarding the festival. The knew I had a film. But not what was in it. You know? I feel FREAK would need some extreme editing and thus so my artistic integrity would be in question. And frankly, I made that film for me and not necessarily for the masses.
I have been painting the way I did back in the day. Frantic all day sessions. My camera is still broken, so unless you want webcam pics where you have to squint and guess what you’re looking at, you won’t be seeing them. But I will say I had forgotten what it was like. Not knowing what day it is and actually wondering why my eyes and head hurts. But mostly I’m finishing things I started months ago. During the lapse I wrote. So that’s just a different creative focus.
I’ll be back with a list in my next entry. Bye.
