Hey guys I’m doing ArtPrize!
I paid my dues and wrote my statements. I hope now to be matched with the venue of my dreams!
My Profile.
P.S. while ArtPrize is an ‘open’ competition, it seems the better venues have a jury system. Which makes sense, but also belies the implied promise of an equal and open competitive environment. It’s still political. And we’re not even voting yet! (ArtPrize’s huge cash awards are done by popular vote. Grand Rapids International Art Idol?)
At this point, I’m hoping to attract a venue, so at the very least I didn’t waste $50.
thelink to her profile didn’t work for me, but i wanted to check it out!
Weird, maybe she did it wrong. She didn’t even show up in the SEARCH!

We spend our lives rereading and rewatching and relistening and relearning. We eat the same things over and over. We end up loving people who remind us of other people. We perform these rituals, this spacetime origami, because the basic fact of our n-dimensional existence is this: Most things can be recalled and some things can be revisited but precious little can be relived.
This is going to be one of the main themes of a novel I will write in the future.

This General Tso is good...
But the fried rice tastes like dog food. I know, because I used to eat it every once in a while.

Dear Woman of My Dreams
Hi. I hope I won’t have to say this to you in real life, because you’ll sidle up next to me and give me the “I’ve been waiting for you,” grin.
So we won’t say hi. I’ll stammer and step back, trying to regain my balance, and then perhaps I’ll ask your name and offer to buy you a drink.
But you’ll laugh it off.
“It’s too early,” you’ll say, “And besides, we have the rest of our lives.”

Aww man. I haven’t Twittered since Florida? And I’ve been to Chicago and North Carolina and THE MOON since then!

Dumblr
I’ve noticed average post length on Tumblr has gone down tremendously. It’s tidbits that show up on my Dashboard nowadays, not bigbits.
Reading back on some of my older posts, I realized I’m doing the same thing. I spout a short thought or repost a picture and add a line or two, and you know what? I don’t think that’s what I thought I would do with Tumblr.
Used to be a Livejournal/Blogger user, and for a while I fed those into Tumblr along with some of my other RSS-related content (comics, Twitter) and used this thing as sort of an aggregator of all my online doings and beings. Then the blogging stopped, the livejournaling stopped, and I quit my webcomic. I rarely tweet, and if I do it’s usually about something random and ineffectual.
Instead, Tumblr has become my only vein of creation that bleeds onto the net. It’s become my blogging surrogate, my journal, and my comic-posting ground. All in one spot, only it all comes from here - not from other places like before.
Posts should be longer, more substantive. I don’t want to use Tumblr like the rest of the people I follow, and their daily life-status updates. I don’t want to reblog funny pictures or quotes. I don’t want to wonder why my Tumblarity is at 15 when it was at 20 five minutes ago. There’s so much more potential here, so much more intelligence I’m wasting on stupidity instead.
This might be my last post for a while.
