Raven in Green again..

nothings changed the senates still corrupt & the emporer remains insane, and every day, is a new strain of slaughter, supply lines are less protected, evil on all sides, eye can smell the death on your flesh--creeping in, trapped within the twisting fingers of fear, and all eye see is ewe, that face, those eyes, burning like leprosy, eye can see u there poisoning the air, prostituing Nationalism, and eye want to attack, to rip out your heart and lay you flat on your back, and vomit a world of agony and truth into your throbbing illness of memory...and hate guides our way, eye long for the icy slap of a belt across my back, for the acceptance of death and blind cave war, the giving sleep of depression, the sweet elucidation of savage meaningless agression, chiseled in the meaty forearms of Mother Jupiter and his slave disciples, in the harem tents--outside, just beyond the edges--eye ride, a cycoptic mare in the fires of imagination. feeding my disease, a river of plagues, eye need something to remind me I'm still sinning that pain is important, that wurdz matter, that healing is possible, that eye am not alone ...in this --guard the houses--triple the watch,--Maidens, dig up your sorcery --sirens, sharpen your rocks..ewe will eat my pain again. whatever you need unite messiah ME

Still a stressed little Raven. My show opens tomorrow! AHHHHHHH!!! So much to do and so little time.

oh, so here's a thought that I've had in my head for awhile. ...

I got this really nice coat for Christmas. It's a charcoal colored floor length double breasted dress coat. It's awesome! and the other day when I put it on I commented to C that I looked like a smart and sophisicated Artist, instead of the Geeky art dork I really am. And I was thinking that all artists are geeky art dorks, I mean seriously in reality. Oh sure....we try and front, we work our fashion sense. We watch freaky movies about sex and violence. but ...really were geeky dorks. We analyze movies for fun! As well as books. We like comic books and computer's and computer games (<---we not me on that one, but you get the idea.) We thinking to much, and have really no lives when we become focused on our art. I remember making a similar comment to T freshman year when I showed up at the studio around 11pm on a Friday night and found him there working (had had been working on the same project else were for 6 hours before I showed up to the studio. but...I commented to him that we were sad because we were in an art studio at 11 on a Friday,..and he was like "yeah, we have no lives".

Then aside from the Geeky Art Dorks, there are those who aren't, and they are usually the stuck up jock 'posers, whom we hate and who look down on us for being Geeky Art dorks.
