I plunged head-long into my past and saturated my life and thoughts with memories. I think it was good for me, like a good therapy session, but now I&#8217;m feeling like re-entering the real world. I&#8217;ve been pretty lazy lately. Well, Tom would argue that my idea of lazy is not the same as most people, but I feel it. I haven&#8217;t been inspired to jump through any hoops, but I also can&#8217;t stand not having a solid path before me. There are no deadlines, no urgent shows or opportunity I need to work for. It&#8217;s just me and my time. I feel a little like I&#8217;m floating, and it&#8217;s kind of uncomfortable. So I need a solid game plan. Something to strive for. That&#8217;s my goal for today, to figure out what it is I need to get accomplished in the next couple months. Some ideas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Art: Make some prints and drawings, something fast and illustrative, to get out of this &#8220;going nowhere&#8221; feeling that can happen so often with painting when I&#8217;m not sure of my direction.<\/li>\n<li>Music: write, write, write lyrics til I am blue in the face and I get over this fear of failure<\/li>\n<li>Body: God, I feel awful, I need some exercise. Maybe I can walk home from work 1 or 2 days a week.<\/li>\n<li>Nature: The city is making me nuts, need some dirt and grass.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>OK, get going, you lazy bum&#8230; Oh wait, I&#8217;m moonlighting right now. That&#8217;s gonna make it hard to add more stuff to my life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a strange week.
