The daffodils are blooming, the taxes are moving and Daylight Savings Time has hit us once again like an evil trailer hitch straight to the shins. I hate Daylight Savings Time and would prefer to just do away with the silliness altogether and spend the rest of my life being an hour late for everything. I’m an art bum and what’s time to an art bum anyway? I’m a simple guy with simple demands who is only concerned about suppertime and my bed time. Everything else are petty distractions from my life-long dream of living the laziest life of anyone I know. Somebody has got to do it, right?!
Speaking of time it seems like everyone wants a piece of it lately. The local Ruritan club talked me into making more art to help advertise their Brunswick stew cookoff and sales that they host as a fundraiser. I had to make time just to drop off my printer/scanner with a computer whiz just so he could enable it to download art scans straight to my trusty laptop because I couldn’t figure out how to do it and I didn’t want to keep feeding my scanner file cards. You would think that attaching a USB cable and installing some software would be easy but about anything involving computers and technology these days isn’t simple or easy.
And spring is the season of love and I have found myself a loveable gal who I enjoy talking with and who also enjoys talking with me and wants to spend time with me which has cut into my creative time. Her name is Fay and it’s a long (LONG!) distance relationship as she lives all the way in Japan of all places. But I’m grateful for any relationship any way I can get it even if it’s through Facebook. Between all that I’m still trying my best to find the time to write and blog. Maybe one of these days I’ll actually get good at it too. I hope so. Now that Daylight Savings Time is getting me up an hour earlier to write perhaps it’s good for something after all.
