Today I have been particularly artistic. I woke up as early as can be, considering as I went to bed at four-thirty. Which kind of explains why I am being so creative today. I tend to be more artistic with less sleep I get. Everything else seems to fade. All the bullshit, the mind numbing websites, yeah I'm talking to you youtube, tends to be sifted out and all the culture comes back. I don't know if any of you feel the same way but that is at least how I feel with my experience. While watching Titanic's iconic drawing scene I wondered if I could use my rusty drawing skills to produce a good nude drawing of myself. I quickly took pen to paper and tried my hand at it.
It was easy to get back into the swing of things. My mind was numb and I did what I needed. I stopped looking at the photograph as something associated with myself and drew what I saw. Every unflattering lump, the shadows that helped in my favor, the hair upon my body. I drew what I knew, myself, while not being "connected" to it.
My method to blogging tends to be the same. Brutally honest while being kind when it is not being falsifying. This is the key to being a good blogger. Knowing when to step back and write the details that make you cringe. In essence we stand here naked before one another and give each other a brief moment into our very hectic lives. There is nothing more human, or artistic than that. If the eyes are the windows into a soul what is the mind, and if we are constantly nude on this site what should we say to those that are wearing clothing while reading?
