The Things I Don't Know About Me
Today? I talk.
Do I feel like saying anything? Not really.
One of those days? Yes. Not much different than many more before it.
Feeling defeated? That never matters. I heal.
What happened? Highs and lows.
That's life? Indeed.
Where do we go from here? Forward.
What happened? Nothing.
This doesn't sound like nothing... What does it sound like?
This does not sound right and I should know. I am you. It's hard to tell sometimes.
Things are going well so why feel down? I never said I was down.
Are you going to play the sympathy card? I cut those up.
So why are we here? To speak my mind.
But you are not saying anything. What is there to say?
Will you be okay? Of course.
Do you mean that? Why would I lie to myself?
They might think you're imperfect. I never claimed to be perfect.
What's wrong? Nothing.
How can this be nothing? What makes it something?
Well it sure sounds like there's something wrong! Wrong, wrong, wrong! What is wrong with you!
Easy there tiger! Talking helps. Tell me. Tell you what?
Tell me what's bothering you. Why?
So you start to feel better. How can I possibly feel better?
Listen, you're being incredibly stubborn right now. I'm only trying to help. I don't need help.
Sure seems like you do, buddy! Listen, asshole! Let's start over. Where did we go wrong?
That's what I've been asking you this entire time! Exactly!
How are you today? Good. Thanks for asking.
Oh. My bad. Mmmhmm
I'll guess I'll see you later then? Yeah, probably go for a shave soon.
You haven't shaved in months though. It's called a beard!
No art today? What are you talking about! It's right down here.
My name is @twiceuponatime, and I approve this post :-)
In fact, I find it deeply meaningful!
Wow! That is deep. Maybe, for the first time in history, this situation is actually funny. Any other time... not so much!
I only talk to myself when I seek expert advice. “No you don’t”.
“Yes I fucking do!”
What? Nothing! What? Nothing! What? Nothing! What? Nothing! What? Nothing! What? Nothing! What? Nothing! What? Nothing!
... my other voice is hard of hearing.
Lol
Haha -- that art pretty well captures the story. I took it as a self-portrait of the pinched-face grumpster. Or a pansy - the little flowers that like the cook wet weather of the spring. They can look so chipper, but the black pansies can have that grumpy look at the same time.
My art keeps painting a new picture all on it's own. If I had known this in advance, I would have just sat back and let the art do all the work!
Rough day? Or maybe the two faces that exist in your head feel like chatting but one isn't so chatty. lol. I hate it when I'm in nothing mood and people harass me to say what's wrong when I'm fine other than I'm just not in the mood to socialize.
Omg, I totally get that at work. Most times I am up to no good, as in pranks or making people laugh. Heaven forbid I have a day where I am just (quiet). To them, there must be a reason, cuz it isn't normal for someone to be quiet for the hell of it. Idk how many times I have said, "I just don't feel like talking, but if you keep saying I look crabby, then guess what? I gonna be freakin' crabby. Glad I am not the only one :-)
Just messing around with words and that exact social situation you mentioned. Nothing annoys me more. Which is weird, because nothing isn't anything so how can it be annoying? Huh...
That sounds like me talking to me right now, hey are you in my head? Just as long as scary/cool angel is not the you that is in my head!
This is a hidden message.
Ohhh, gangsters are what's in most of your art! LOL, kidding.
Persona, that's what it's all about, play a role, and play it well, be the character you choose, in life or for a month or a day or a season.
Yes. It's fascinating to me how some art can look so dirty on the surface yet come out squeaky clean on the inside. I just felt like placing that message here, randomly. It's not directed at you, or anyone. I just wanted to put it here on my blog somewhere. I knew you wouldn't get annoyed with this randomness, so I chose your comment. It looks good here in the middle. Yup. I'm an odd one.
When I talk to me, I try not to annoy myself. This time I failed, I guess. The me stayed home today.
...
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"You can talk to me."
"I know."
"So tell me."
"What?"
"What's the matter?!"
"Nothing!"
"Come on. You're acting strange. What is it?"
..... . . . . . . .
"FINE!!!!!!!! I'm still fucking stumped about that god damned riddle!"
I know it’s like there's Nothing to it and its just on tip of ones tongue. I do hate it when riddles are warped in gold bricks!
I spent an hour thinking about it at first. Then I got what might have been a hint? But he said no hints... and warned about being a trickster... I am beginning to think I am just too stupid to think of the answer.
If I had to pull off sleight of hand in writing form, how would that be achieved? :)
That will only make it worse! LOL!
Oh man you should go to the doctors and get that burning sensation check out. That sounds like some bad news. I hope you have not been hanging around any strange cats of late. I hear they also do not shave for months and have conversions with themselves.
Why I never!
I think you have proven my point...
Hello again, talking cat. Meow meow meow meow? Meow, meow meow meow meow, meow meow. Meow meow meow meow. Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow, meow meow! And then she farted!
I think ya took the words right out of some of our mouths. Btw, cool picture. Yes I am going to say what it looks like, to me. But then I am sure you're getting quite used to that, lol. It looks like a mean dog :-)
Yeah, this whole thing was just a little play depicting that exact situation so many of us hate. It's cool that you see a mean dog there. I didn't see that before until now. I like how these things keep refinishing themselves. Maybe I do that on purpose? Hmmmmm.
Or are you? That is the key question here, now (jk). Glad I got ya to see the dog, lol. I have a great knack (sort of), for seeing something out of most pictures, that were not intentional. :-) As I have said, I love reading your posts.
Thank you. It's my pleasure to come here and do, whatever it is, I'm doing.
Lol, well if it's any consolation, I am still busting up over the meow and cat fart comment. Even got my son to laugh after he read it. You sir, could also write daily comics...Oh wait, you already do that here. Duh, what was I thinking. Must have been the inner me. (slaps her silly), "wake up and pay attention dollface"
This has a very Poetic tone to it , I don't know if that's what you intended? Once again the Artwork is Insane!! Like very awesome , it's like eyes of a head in the very back and also the face in the foreground! Unique , Original , and also do you make art / Album art for anybody? Or do commissions ?
Poetic is fine with me. The first three letters in article are art, so I like to experiment. Much of what you see on my blog could be considered experimental, in a sense. I just like doing things nobody else does and calling it art. Speaking of art; thanks for the compliments and appreciation. I like that one too. I produce my stuff and never wonder if people will like it. I just put it out there without shame. I once worked on a guy's furnace. His basement was full of art. I asked what was up with that. He said he did it for a hobby and didn't think others would like them. Strange hobby.
Commissions: People would have to approach me. I don't go looking for that sort of thing.
As for album art... it's getting to the point where they're going to have to approach me too. You can only knock on so many doors before your hand starts to hurt. These bastards don't answer their emails. It's becoming a touchy subject for me. I used to think I needed a big name before I would be able to get anywhere in this art game. My name in tiny print within the credits that nobody reads was where I thought I should go. I was wrong. I put my name at the top of google instead. Now they can knock on my door. Maybe I'll answer.
great thinking about life
