"Just one note, could make me float."
30x40 Canvas, Acrylic.

Halloween is my favorite holiday.
I dress up, eat candy, get wasted, scare some little kids, encounter random strangers.
Every year, we head to Austin and participate in the annual 6th street Halloween festivities.
This year I went as a Silent Hill Nurse. Turns out no one believes in dressing up as something scary anymore.
I'm glad I got to stare people in the face as they walked by, and then followed the ones who looked frightened.

Ever try drinking whiskey shots through a straw? disgusting. Couldn't breathe, couldn't see, couldn't talk.
The night ended and I missed it, don't remember the last hour, I woke up in my hotel room in my jammies,
hungover, a cut on my left palm, scraped knees, and a whole lotta bruises. BEST HALLOWEEN EVER.

My father said being an artist was the shortest road to the poorhouse,
claiming "real" work is something you don't like.
I ignored him through oppositional behavior,
later reasoning that only an idiot sets out to find the poorhouse,
not to mention devote himself to something he doesn't love.

Instead, I discovered an interesting back road to the unknown, and deliberately without a safety net.
