May 8, AHHHHH!!!

“AHHHHH!!!

OR

The following… set to Santana’s “Samba Pa Ti”

“And when his heart broke, he crawled into the backseat of his Corolla and put his ear buds on. He scrolled down to Santana and played this song. “Samba Pa Ti”. He didn’t know what it meant. The phrase. Didn’t care. It sounded like he felt. That was all that mattered. He didn’t cry. Never cry. Often times when he was high, he wondered whether there was a doctor that would alleviate the heaviness in his heart. He realized he had been using cheesy lines a lot. And sometimes he would pull out his iPhone and jot down random thoughts. And sometimes he would listen to the same song over and over. Such were the symptoms of a heart on love. When the song “Samba Pa Ti” reached the end, he felt better. More upbeat. Less sorrowful. Less melancholy. Hopeful. He put the key in the ignition, backed out and headed for home. If he could pray for anything, it’d be courage. All he needed was courage and the rest he could do himself.”

April 3, The Wild Bunch

I was at an art show in Toronto called the OPTIC ELIXER II: Art Show and Party. I decided to portray my experience of the exhibit in a work of art. These are my friends. I’m in the third reel. First reel: Matt. His mouth is an infinite abyss and the last picture looks like a whale cut in half (his words). Second reel: Pauline. She has nice eyes. Third reel: Me. Homer Simpson circa Mr. Sparkle… Mistah Spakluh! Fourth reel: Tony. Think of the first appearance of Heath Ledger’s Joker. The lips.
