The Story of An Artist (Don’t Be Scared)

thanks to Tim Layton

Listen up and I’ll tell a story

About an artist growing old

Some would try for fame and glory

Others aren’t so bold

Everyone, and friends and family

Saying, “Hey! Get a job!”

“Why do you only do that only?

Why are you so odd?

We don’t really like what you do.

We don’t think anyone ever will.

It’s a problem that you have,

And this problem’s made you ill.”

Listen up and I’ll tell a story

About an artist growing old

Some would try for fame and glory

Others aren’t so bold

The artist walks alone

Someone says behind his back,

“He’s got his gall to call himself that!

He doesn’t even know where he’s at!”

The artist walks among the flowers

Appreciating the sun

He does this all his waking hours

But is it really so wrong?

They sit in front of their TV

Saying, “Hey! This is fun!”

And they laugh at the artist

Saying, “He doesn’t know how to have fun.”

The best things in life are truly free

Singing birds and laughing bees

“You’ve got me wrong”, says he.

“The sun don’t shine in your TV”

Listen up and I’ll tell a story

About an artist growing old

Some would try for fame and glory

Others aren’t so bold

Everyone, and friends and family

Saying, “Hey! Get a job!”

“Why do you only do that only?

Why are you so odd?

We don’t really like what you do.

We don’t think anyone ever will.

It’s a problem that you have,

And this problem’s made you ill.”

Listen up and I’ll tell a story

About an artist growing old.

Some would try for fame and glory

Others just like to watch the world.

oh yeah i made this and gave it to krista. his name is the duck fuck.

look a subway cat!

so my new addiction is going to be SPENDING MONEY ON MYSELF! i’m thinking of all these things that i am going to buy, a cd and some clothes and some groceries all for me!

on the subway this asian dude is standing near us and we’re all looking at the ultraviolet ad and i go HEY LOOK IT’S ME! and the asian dude looks to the ad then at me and goes REALLY THAT’S YOU? i said yep first time seeing it myself and he goes wow good for you! chad and fil were ready to play along but i said no no no sorry it’s not me and he goes no offense but all you people look the same to me and we busted out laughing and i said THAT’S FUNNY COS I COULD SAY THE SAME FOR YOU! more laughing and somehow we started talking about plastic surgery and i asked how much liposuction would cost and he said 1700 bucks if i went to like asia i dunno and he said fil has a nice chin.

so this chick explodes with rage out of nowhere on sunday about how she doesn’t understand why anyone would want to go to toronto IT’S JUST A CITY I DON’T GET IT and she’s from newfoundland and went to montreal once and vancouver and says MONTREAL NOW THAT CITY KNOWS WHAT IT’S DOING bla bla bla and normally i am an extremely defensive argumentative person but like bitch obvs. had to get some shit off her chest so i just sat there in awe of this emotional tirade and thinking some fucking nerve, then i said WHAT IS YOUR POINT YES YOU HAVE SAID THAT YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND TORONTO FIRST OF ALL YOU LIVE IN NORTH YORK and then i asked if she had an established scene or group of friends. here’s an idea GO BACK TO NEWFOUNDLAND IF YOU HATE TORONTO SO MUCH.

this would be like me sitting at a table with a bunch of newfs and being all I DON’T UNDERTAND NEWFOUNDLAND IT IS JUST NEWFOUNDLAND WHY WOULD I WANT TO BE HERE!?!

or like going to your grandma’s and saying at the dinner table yeah i don’t know why anyone would want to come here like i could be at your uncle’s house or your aunts even but WHY grandma’s house, i mean, it’s JUST a house! and then have my hands up in the air and shrug my shoulders like i am insanely confused.

DON’T GO TO SOMEONE’S CITY AND TALK SHIT ABOUT IT TO PEOPLE WHO ARE NATIVE TO THAT CITY! do you want fries with that moron sandwich?

i was so aghast i couldn’t come up with any reason to back up toronto so i said well we have the ROM and she snaps at me YEAH WELL THERE’S MUSEUMS IN EUROPE!

oh ok thanks i didn’t know toronto was being compared to big fancy europe first it was vancouver and montreal, a city that KNOWS what it’s doing because it has a brain and toronto is deformed. ciavarro put his body between us to calm down this girl cos she would not shut up and likes to make amazing first impressions. later on ciavarro and fil are discussing the skytrain and i played dumb and said WHAT IS THE SKY TRAIN and she gets this look on her face of complete and utter pissedoffness, anyway I was the bigger man and smoothed it over by complimenting her hat mitts and scarf ensemble that her boyfriend got from smart set.

rn and i are friends again, we buried the hatchet. i called him a whiny little bitch and he apologized for being a sucky little girl. i said look i have mental problems, peace dude.

turns out one of our childhood crew members is in afghanistan right now which is terrifying, he’s the dude in the rn hates me post foto dressd like a drunken hick on the right. JEREMY WTF!?

yesterday was pretty fuckin’ hard and trying to sleep last nite was impossible, i’m running off two hours. i have zero booze-cravings thus far despite feeling as if i’m coming off an 8 year boomerang bender pretty much. anyway, i feel quite optimistic today and no this blog isn’t going to be all bla blah i want a drink my life is boring well actually it might we’ll see. unfortunately i am not any less obnoxious whilst sober just quieter and ten times more insecure and anxious i hope i don’t have anxiety attacks again. that would be the opposite of cool.

think of the money i’ll save and all the tv i will be around to watch at home also i will be level-headed enough to finally begin working on my script. i even thought about going to school last nite and then i thought about pencils and paper and ten million other retarded things.

i know i’m gonna get super thin again also like skeletor.

man i wanted to make a drunklor t-shirt but now maybe i’ll make a soberlor one instead and sell them to AA people. maybe i should just shut up cos it’s only been 24 hours, jeez.
