Sometimes I feel like I've lost my creativity.. what's worse is sometimes I feel like I'm losing my passion/love for art as an artist.. I mean, as an observer, of course, I still love art.. but as an artist, it bothers me the most feeling like I'm losing my love/passion for the thing I've always adored..

The Artistic Side of Marijuana
My friends have always told me to try drawing when I'm high.. I've always told 'em "nah I can't do it, I wouldn't be able to concentrate."
But last night, the homie Alvaro visited from Cali (you know damn well he brought some bomb-ass Cali kush), and the homies and I got high at Dexter Park. Summer and her boyfriend brought their art supplies and this magazine called Juxtapoz with them. That magazine is beyond unbelievable. I've always seen it at bookstores but have never really checked it out. Last night was the second time I've checked out another issue of the magazine. It's filled with damn creative people.. like shit that'll really inspired you.
I saw Summer and her boyfriend's paintings.. and to add to it, Frankie's imaginative ass started drawing.. they all inspired me alongside the photography, drawings, paintings, etc. from the magazine.. so I decided to give drawing while I'm high a try..
And damn! I felt so free.. like I didn't worry about how my drawing will turn out (which is usually my problem) and I actually concentrated more than I expected.. I didn't finish the drawing though cuz my high eventually went away.. but I'm definitely going to give drawing while I'm high another chance and see if it'll have the same effect.

Today, I Realized..
I'm full of excuses.. it's October 7th, 2010 and yet my tattooing career hasn't gotten nowhere.. I still don't know how to set up a tattoo machine, I still havn't tattooed anyone, I still havn't finished my portfolio [which was supposed to be turned in as early as January of last year.]
I always come up with an excuse.. I've wasted so much time bullshitting..
Lately, I've been telling my friends how I'm a genius and how I want to be remembered down in history.. not just be remembered.. I want to be in books read by students.. admired in a high level.. passed that celebrity status.. I want to make an impact in this world like my idols did (Da Vinci, Einstein, Corbet, Stephen Hawking..)
And yet.. at 20 years old, about to be 21, I still havn't accomplished shit in my life.. cuz of what? Excuses..
