Selling my soul for a pack of cigarettes...


Why does this world revolve around money? I wish it wasn't so; if only I could get by. It's just no good.
I'll have to sell my body to some eatery and service customers.

Marketing my paintings and churning out "popular" material would make me ill. If I wrote songs for the general public I'd sound like an idiot.
I believe in music having either inventive/solid lyrics or great instrumentals. Or both...
I like the words to my songs, but my voice is abysmal and I pretty much suck at the guitar.
Then my paintings. Who wants to buy some creepy animals-dissecting-people painting? Correction, who with money would want to purchase that?
So I'm left with a terrible dilemma. Paint grapes and wine bottles, possibly take panoramic landscape photos of the Columbia river...or keep brewing nightmares/fantasies.
I know which one I'll chose right up until I become an emaciated crack whore.
McDonald's here I come?
