Laugh at Yourself !

Laugh at yourself ~

Admit it - The Human Form is Funny!
We tell ourselves that we have Beauty.
Or that we’re okay.
Or or that ‘nobody will notice’…..
But for what?

We’re all funny-looking. And we’re all beautiful.

We’re all funny-looking. And we’re all beautiful. And mostly, we are all skin stretched over skeletons – skeletons with those mandibles hopefully fully of rooted teeth – skeletons with those hard foreheads and occipital ridges.

Any face. With 2 holes smack in the middle.
And hard foreheads. And those choppers behind the lips.
And don’t get me started on
Ears….
Ever imagine the skull underneath? We are as much our skulls as
a painting of a tablecloth shows the form of the table beneath it.

I love you all.

Broken Flowers

April 24th, 2009

Wow. If I ever wondered if anybody ever had any new
ideas, these days, I wouldn’t wonder anymore. I just
watched the movie ‘Broken Flowers’ with Bill Murray,
and I was amazed. This story sure is a new idea
to me.

It’s the middle of the night. I really wanted to get
myself onto a better schedule - to get plenty of
sleep and still wake early, but it’s not going to
happen again. Bcause I just had to draw some
pink flowers for Bill Murray. That last scene was
so amazing:

The surprise of middle-age. Not only this
protagonist’s problem, but whatever frustration or
shock might hit a person - where do they go from
there?

This movie’s been around since 2005. but I just got
around to seeing it. Does anyone know of any sort
of a sequel to the philosophy of Broken Flowers?

I like creative-writing. Maybe I’ll attempt some ideas
some day. But for now, just this picture.

LouD

Here are photos of some of the Caricatures that I drew at
a recent Party. It’s a good thing I brought my lights - it was
way too dark for drawing. Still, as you can see by these Photos,
the atmosphere does affect pictures. They were taken with
the same camera-phone that I’ve been using this year, but
they’re fuzzy and ‘colored’ bcause of the poor lighting conditions.

The 13-year-old’s Party was held in a bar. The room was dark.
The music was so Loud that I was still in a different state of
existence when I got home. The kids had a lot of Fun! They
were so happy - dressed up and chatting animatedly. And
the same question came up that I think often after Parties
like these. I wonder Whether we’re putting the kids into
these roles (teaching them what to admire and how to
behave), Or whether this is the way 13-year-olds want
to ‘play’ (party).
