i've been discussing with people lately how it surreal to be on the radio. LIke this guy at the red cross shop, his like overwhelmed by being reckonised on the radio from his voice.
Also for me it's overwhelming to read about a girl winning all these prizes i was in first year with. When i went to have a look, she goes on about how she digged my work. Shes in the merge magazine, sounds just as i remember her.
I have been called by this disability works guy wanting me to give an interview, i went down to centerlink giving a kind of mini protest, it seems like that is all my life has come to.
I'm not so good at taking up iniviations aND being a part of the world. BuT atleast i've met these people who have kind of made a mark on the world, as far as my city is concerned. They're just average joes who work hard.
So i have a councilling date to return to art school, also am doing a adelaide central short course. I kinda dont care how long it takes anymore. I suppose the whole basis of it, will be pushing through it. Not like all these other kids who strike magazine fame, and have everyone loving what they do.
TO me i suppose it shouldn't matter about outside views. I'm trying to paint. I just repainted my ukele. Sure i'm on the dole but it's ok, atleast im experiencing the outside world and seeing people who see me for me and like what i do. |
