Thanks to the UK’s Daily Mail, it has come to my attention that today marks the 15th anniversary of Princess Di’s death. 15 years – flown by. I remember it like it was yesterday. I was still in college, trying to graduate and get out of dead end Natchitoches, Louisiana. 1997 had been a really […]

Late Night Visitor
As I sit here trying to spin a flaxen tale to tell you on this terribly rainy night, all I can come up with is a ghostly visit I had about 11 years ago. No it doesn’t rival Harry Potter or The Exorcist, just one of life’s little anomalies. Sometimes in life things happen that […]
Smug Be Thy Name
Very few articles make me angry but this one somehow managed. The world’s wealthiest woman, Gina Rinehart say the poor are jealous of her 20 billion fortune, which may be true but what a smug thing to say, especially when the whole world seems to be in recession. This person, who hasn’t worked a day […]
This Is Where the Party Ends
I hate politics. I will say that up front. In general, it bores me to tears and I don’t trust politicians any further than I could throw them. Though I did study political science and civics in college, that was the extent of my bureaucratic interest. It was not my major, just a some courses to […]
Never Enough
I would love to learn more. I have been an artist all my life but I still need to learn more. It’s never enough. As an artist it is important to learn different techniques and broaden your horizons. Even if I live to be 100, I couldn’t do everything I wanted to do and gain […]
We Are Such Stuff As Dreams Are Made On
I think I have finally done it. I have finally gotten 8 hours of quality sleep. That being so, I still feel like I could use a little more. Sleep is such a luxury when you have children to look after and you work for yourself. I am an artist. It is my life’s work. […]
Ich Hab Angst
At this time I am very tired, not to mention I took my nerve pill which will only exacerbate the situation so I will make this short. How did I become such an anxious person? I have a very delicate system and it can only take so much. If I have any dark chocolate I […]
Ouija Board, Ouija Board
I know I am not the ony one that has come into contact with things that are not of this world. I’m not talking about aliens, or Bigfoot or the Chupacabra. I’m talking about those elusive figures you see out of the corner of your eye but when you confront them straight on they vanish. […]
Waiting for the Night to Fall
For the life of me I cannot understand morning people. I am loathe to deal with anyone before 9 am, especially ones that are so damn chipper so early. I love working the midnight oil. For me, nighttime it is a time when I can just relax. I find evening comforting as the darkness starts […]
El Botchio
The internet world has been buzzing very loudly for a few days about the botched painting that is being dubbed Planet of the Apes Jesus. I myself can’t help bursting into laughter everytime I see it. The poor 80 year old was just trying to be helpful. Apparently her family and fellow chruchgoers are mortified. […]
