Given the latter statement, you can tell that occasionally I am berrating myself during a creative project. Thats the inner censor at work for sure. If you havent already seen it, there is a book called the Artists’ Way. While its kind of a misnomer (since the author is not promoting a “true way”) its often helpful for me. Every small occasion where my censor starts to berrate me about something, I pull an Angry Hal routine and pick up my censor by the throat and tell it to go away. If it helps, I sometimes draw soething to symbolize my censor and cross it out. I may even try writing “NO” or “LEAVE ME ALONE. YOU CANT STOP ME FROM CREATING” and then burn it (I have a fireplace). It sounds aggressive and non huggy but I find that its the only way to handle an equally vindictive force such as the censor.

I wonder how you deal with it when your censor rears its ugly head.

To answer your question…um I really cant. It sounds bad but I have never voted in the presidential election. Why? Becuase I felt like I was picking the best of the evils. Its like going into a store to find something. While you are not expecting an ideal of any kind, none of the choices available sound good. Do you take the resources and choose the best there is or do you not waste your money on any of these items since none of them are really any good?

Obama seems like the best. Again, that is the best of the evils. Im not trying to instill a debate here in saying that. But still….Im really unsure how we can prevail. These politicians have a tendancy to go back on promises once money starts hitting the pockets.

and i agree….

the founding fathers would have been burners for sure….

keep fightin the good fight….

with love light and pink…..

ill be right there with ya….
