When I Thought It Was Getting Better..... (Art Status)
15 years ago
General
This is a TL;DR listing of thing I'm currently facing, because many of you have asked why I haven't been uploading as of late. If this factual, concise, informational journal is reason enough to warrant anyone pressing the unwatch button on me, I truly feel sorry because it is NOT in any way an emo rant.
The following is a list of facts and possible scenarios to be considered objectively and at face-value. These are things I'm dealing with, and are offered merely as an explanation of why I have not done much in the way of art lately:
1. My dad remains on the track of recovery from last year's stroke, and is actively seeking employment to no avail.
2. My mom is suddenly unable to speak properly in that she cannot call objects by their correct names. Example of what I'm referring to would be calling a candle a sausage, calling a swing set a swimming pool and calling the washing machine the garbage can. I found out this is known as Paraphasia.
3. This year is guaranteed by the National Weather Service to produce another category 5 hurricane or two aimed at the Louisiana coast. Combine this with the oil spill and the result is a coating of oil being pushed many, many miles inland. Combine all of that with sparking, downed power lines and the result is spreading wildfires beyond the control of any firefighting crew of any size.
4. The creditors have chosen now to take the next step to collect the massive amount of credit card debt my parents owe, whatever that step may be. And considering this, we will not have the necessary means to repair any damages our house might sustain from the hurricane(s).
5. Given our financial situation, we will not have the funding or means necessary to properly store food in preparation for two to three weeks without utilities.
6. I do not have enough money stockpiled away to move to Colorado or really anywhere at all. I most likely will not have enough stored until next year when it's too late to avoid the impending natural disaster this summer. It will take between 5 and 7 thousand dollars more than I have now, and I only get $800 per month roughly.
7. I am fighting severe fits of depression lately. And that is all I will say about that subject.
8. I am not at all satisfied with the quality of my art right now.
And that is basically it, from start to finish. I may upload things soon, but don't expect much.
