I realeased an album! Granted, it’s only 7 tracks of unedited practice I’ve recorded. I made a youtubwe chanel with 3 videos of the same. There is a link to the YouTube chanel on one of these pages. I produced the album through DistroKid and they don’t work with Mixcloud as far as I have gathered. I have emailed them asking, “Why Not?!”
Fountain Street Church choir is singing a song with those lyrics, “I ask Why Not!?”
I’ve been to the gym 5 times in these two weeks (one more to go). I’ve practiced a good amount, have to get my half hour in today before I leave with a couple friends whose anniversary is tomorrow for the ArtPrize half time show at 123 Ionia downtown. They have been married 28 years and I am honored they opted to go to this event with me.
I’ve done Art Prize many times before but because of my intense dislike of competetion I don’t even vote usually. It’s not exactly a competition because the artist decides to enter or not but once entered, you’re subject to judgement.
Paying attention to popularity is a measure of how many people find your content useful. How much of that popularity is imposed by others who say you should like it and you do because of the human instinct to belong and follow? so much thought. to what end?
How does a thing grow if its not followed? I’m thinking along the lines of a marriage but I’ve learned that things grow over time from all the classes.
The woman who moved in next door told me she likes all my flowers. I asked her if she has a garden. Then I asked her some of her favorite flowers and she replied, “yea.” So I said the question louder and she replied, “Calliuses.” I do not know that I know what flower that is. She may have meant Calus lily of which there are many types. Here’s a picture:
Maybe her saying something to me about my flowers came as a response to me knowing I should be more involved. I’m sure Art Prize can come up at my dentist appointment in a few hours. How will I handle the topic of Art Prize – expecially if the heigenist responds. The woman who was there last was named Myra. She said she’ll be in that position for awhile. We’ll see. I’ll come back here to report because I have to cricially think about how the mainstream inhabitants of Grand Rapids Michigan respond to the event/concept/philosophy/political statement.
*UPDATE*
When I got my incisor beautified I did not mention the topic of art at all.
However, I did make a musical album with 7 songs today! It is comprised of recordings I started making regularly on August 28. I’m aiming for a half hour of practice a day because I know that is a proven way to improve. I don’t always record. Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star from two days ago on the piano at the Y is on it! And I have a t-shirt coming with Existential Order on the front and 2D3D on the back. It’s on the Bella tank that the bug painting/collage is on. The bug painting… has a lot of significance to me because it exists as a result of the only class I ever failed. It is a crazy real story and since it happened I’ve had to fight feeling legitimate. That’s kind of why I work so much. It just can’t be true that I’m a criminal. I may be. If so I aim to be inverting the “signs” seen by non criminals. *eye spin*
The content relating to the title will be on a new entry. I was making the title better but my solution to the previous title is the new title and the content for it is it’s own entry.
