Christmas, maybe 2008, 2009?

New Years 2026

Beginning of the night. 

Blew out my hair and went to Lil's for a potluck party, then over to Good Judy for dancing and karaoke.

End of the night. While I went to close out my tab all the people I was with just went home. It was fine, but a confusing and sobering end to an otherwise fun night, so I didn't go to bed, I went to the studio and made art for a few more hours. 

 

Death

A couple months ago mom called me on a wednesday before class to tell me jake had died. It wrecked me, man. Like crying. A lot. Regret. Today, another wednesday, mom calls me. Delano has died. I feel... nothing. Regret, yes. But I don't know, don't know if I can feel things anymore. I have to teach class now, that's how I remember it's all wednesdays. Years ago she told me Harvey died too, murdered, also on a wednesday. Did dad die on a wednesday? Just looked, I think it was a sunday. 

I think I'm like 24 here?

I was so pleased with this portrait, and I've never shown it to anyone who liked it as much as I do. 

 

another home pulled out from under me like a rug

 and not just because it's rotted in the fridge. it seems like waste but also it feels like growth.
