No coffee!


Life has been pretty choice over the past few weeks. I like 2008!

We have had been drinking coffee and enjoying the sun loads which has bought me to deciding to have a break from coffee. Yesterday was the first day without it and I ended up sleeping for a lot of the day. Lets hope today will be better.

I'm thinking that giving up smoking too might be a good idea. I don't know were all this came from but lets hope I can get past the 3 months. Every time I have given up it is easy until the 3 month mark when I start again.


I called around to see Mum and she was in her garden which is looking fantastic her plants are loving all the attention. I can remember going to Nana and Popa's when we where young and spending ages in their garden it was a small market garden. I miss not having a garden and look forward to getting a home and getting into the garden.

I had a nice day calling into see lots of family the other day which was good. I have been a bit of a house cat working on the Open Studios event. I have started a myspace http://www.myspace.com/openartstudios

We are off to a BBQ at my mate house tonight which I'm looking forward to cause I haven't seen a lot of the people since before Christmas.

My message for the day was: We can help heal anything - without exception.

I Wanted to Be an Artist, So I Quit My Job and Became One

I had to share this article with you today, if I wrote something like this it would sound just the same... I Wanted to Be an Artist, So I Quit My Job and Became One by Christopher Fife. "Hi, I'm Christopher. I'm an artist." Exhale, run my fingers through my hair. "What do I do? Oh, I paint. I'm a painter. Yeah, I'm an artist." I tried it out every now and then, in front of the bathroom mirror. It sounded all right. But when I introduced myself as an artist outside my bathroom world of make-believe, I always felt false. I was like Magritte labeling a pipe. If I said I was an artist, I was an artist, right? Not exactly. Since I dedicated forty-plus hours a week to my corporate graphic design job, I was lucky if I painted a couple of hours a week. I came to despise myself for this self-deceit, for my inability to embrace what I really wanted to be. I wanted to be an artist. So I committed myself to becoming one. I started out like most people ...
