my life as a artist
channeling
Saturday 12th September 2009 12:54 AM
These last few days I've been horizontal with a heavy cold so I've watched a bit more telly than usual, and in between puffing on the pleasant opium that is Harry Potter, The Simpsons, The Beatles and football, I've found the adverts like an unwelcome spreading pool of spilt bong-water.
Apparently, BMW make joy while Toyota brings families and films together. I actually drive a Toyota, hopefully making me seem marginally less delusional than BMW drivers.
There was an extremely loud, nasty, bang-bang, shouty-shouty psycho-trailer for an obviously unpleasant new film called 'Gamers', which promised 'real lives, real deaths' followed immediately by an army recruitment advert, which promised responsibility, explosions and travel, but could easily have just stayed with the same tag-line.
This evening, during the Simpsons, instead of watching the adverts, (which I feel have been weakening my auto-immune system), I went outside into the garden and searched for a really still butterfly, so that I could look at it. I was soon obliged by a flirtatious Painted Lady, sunning herself on the irises and tremulous like a new flower. There was something strangely familiar about her, in her character, the way she was, her little foibles, that reminded me of a certain caterpillar, called Susan, that I'd met a couple of weeks ago in amongst the dwarf beans, but she looked so completely and utterly different that I couldn't see how it could possibly have been her.
Amongst the soft green furnishings of that living living-room, her wings shone out like television screens, full-colour, high-definition, pixilated miracles of animated dust, broadcasting from a dishless sky the thrilling adventures of an iridescent planet and its beautiful soul. Uninterrupted by adverts, and not featuring Stephen Fry, this compelling drama was more than television, it was life itself.
Just before she flew off, I had a realisation that this gorgeous, elegant creature was none other than the frumpy, wriggly Susan that I'd known in the dwarf beans all those days ago. She'd always been ambitious, even then, but at the same time very self-conscious about her looks, and would often experiment with different styles to somehow compensate. She seemed to have a different exoskeleton every time you saw her, and I remember meeting her once, and overnight she'd gone from having eight pairs of legs to three pairs. She did look a bit less fussy, but at the end of the day, she was still black and yellow, wriggly, and very, very hairy.
The last time I saw her she'd taken to her bed, stopped eating, and was wearing a very 1930's one-piece exoskeleton in cream. Mark the farmer said he'd seen her on Tuesday, and he told me that in act of extreme minimalism, Susan had decided to disintegrate and become liquid. At the time I thought she'd gone too far, but as it's turned out, she's obviously done really well for herself and I'm delighted for her. She's a credit to creation and a lesson to us all.

I am curious to find out what blog system you happen to be working with? I'm experiencing some small security issues with my latest blog and I'd like to find something more secure. Do you have any suggestions?

Excellent site you have here but I was wondering if you knew of any user discussion forums that cover the same topics talked about in this article? I'd really love to be a part of community where I can get feedback from other experienced people that share the same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Cheers!

Hey, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog in Chrome, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, wonderful blog!

Do you have a spam issue on this site; I also am a blogger, and I was wanting to know your situation; many of us have created some nice practices and we are looking to trade techniques with other folks, be sure to shoot me an email if interested.

My partner and I stumbled over here coming from a different web page and thought I may as well check things out. I like what I see so now i'm following you. Look forward to looking over your web page for a second time.

Hi there! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog. Is it difficult to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I'm thinking about creating my own but I'm not sure where to begin. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Many thanks

At this time it appears like BlogEngine is the top blogging platform out there right now. (from what I've read) Is that what you're using on your blog?

Wonderful blog! I found it while surfing around on Yahoo News. Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I've been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Thanks

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is required to get set up? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I'm not very internet savvy so I'm not 100% sure. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate it

Hello there! This post couldn't be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my previous room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this post to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read. Thank you for sharing!

Please let me know if you're looking for a article author for your site. You have some really good articles and I think I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I'd love to write some content for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine. Please blast me an e-mail if interested. Kudos!

Have you ever considered creating an e-book or guest authoring on other blogs? I have a blog based on the same subjects you discuss and would really like to have you share some stories/information. I know my viewers would enjoy your work. If you are even remotely interested, feel free to send me an email.

Do you mind if I quote a couple of your posts as long as I provide credit and sources back to your website? My blog site is in the exact same niche as yours and my visitors would truly benefit from a lot of the information you present here. Please let me know if this okay with you. Regards!

Hi there! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers? I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard on. Any suggestions?

Almost all of what you state is astonishingly accurate and it makes me wonder the reason why I hadn't looked at this in this light previously. Your article truly did switch the light on for me as far as this particular topic goes. However there is actually one particular point I am not too cozy with so while I try to reconcile that with the central idea of your issue, let me see exactly what the rest of the visitors have to say.Very well done.
