rough draft + updates + MONEY Monday, August 30, 2010 This is a vague rough draft for a painting I'm starting on the cover of an old Atkins diet book of my mom's... but god damnit it's TOO HOTT to do anything around here! I get almost claustrophobic in the heat... I wish I could take a bunch of sleeping pills & wake up when Autumn's finally here... [ Updates ] As I said on twitter, "Like people who flex their muscles when they're about to get hit in the gut, I'm preparing myself for my return to school." School starts in 15 days for me. As for my 4 little sisters & little brother, their first day is tomorrow. If I could get myself to wake up earlier, I could benefit from a few hours of silence 5 days out of 7 for the next 2 weeks! [ MONEY. ] While I'm updating, there's something I'd like to talk about, and that's money. Stupid stupid money. Lately I've concluded that freaking 90% of my family and my own troubles are linked to the lack of money. It makes me very angry to think to think that I've been raised to believing that money doesn't bring happiness. As much as I wish that were true, the disgusting reality is that without enough of it, money can bring misery. I can not begin to enumerate all the different problems it's causing us. When I compare my family & me to people starving in other countries, it's evident that we are far far better off. But still... it's hard. I feel like I'm opening my eyes for the first time. Almost every negative thing in my family is caused by our being poor, and days when we have more money than others are the days we get along the best. It is just so unfair for mere pieces of paper to hurt my family like this. 0 Comments: Post a Comment
