Wow, I'm really lame.

I just got home from Wal-Mart to discover that I have left my generic Crest Teeth Whitening Strips, and a $5 dollar Rambo 3 dvd in the bag at Wal-Mart. This may have been because I was overzealous with getting my box of 12 Krispy Kreme Doughnuts home in one piece.

This is not true. I was really thinking about eating one as soon as I saw the box. Is it considered irony to buy teeth whitening strips and Krispy Kreme doughnuts at the same time? Or is it just considered dumb? Or, does this indicate something greater, something about the inner conflict of man. Is this the battle between the Id and the Ego? In my case it was probably the super ego that thinks I can eat those doughnuts without blowing up like a blimp and that somehow my teeth will still sparkle in 30 days or less, or else my money back.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with some of the more "clinical" terms that I used, it is because you have not taken Psychology 101. I did however, and I have just imparted some of my complex wisdom for you to use however best that you see fit. I am referring to the bits about the Id and the Ego and the Super Ego. I don't really remember what that's all about, but trust me, I used those words correctly in that one sentence where I was talking about them.

To sum up, Krispy Kreme doughnuts that are fresh are clearly a small glimpse of what heaven is like. When I eat them, I wonder how anything in heaven can really trump the magnificence of that feeling. This will probably start a thread on some message board somewhere about whether or not Jesus is better than a doughnut. Well, he certainly doesn't provide better taste sensations, but he's better for you, and probably less filling. What's that? Great taste you say? No? Less filling? Really?

Art as Devotion to God

 Art as Devotion to God   There are so many essays on the difference between art and craft, and in truth the two are so intertwined as to be nearly interchangeable. To master a craft such as woodworking takes extensive discipline and devotion, and to master an art form such as sculpting takes the same thing. In truth the crossover between the two is the personal expression inherent in each. In either case if a woodworker or a sculptor’s entire body of work was constantly repeating the same design such as would be made by a machine no one would think of them as much of an artist. However, no one could watch a master chef craft every element of a recipe just so, and not say to themselves that they were seeing a great artist at work. And yet that art does not come without a cost, and as artists we can sometimes be stymied in pursuit of perfection or of what we see as worthwhile. Shows like “The Bear” where we see Jeremy Allen White’s character struggle over every creati...

I've Got a Job

You read the title right. I just got a job at Uno's Pizza, and yes I'll be a waiter. I'll also be waiting for your responses. Yes, that was a joke. Yes, it was an awful one, but things cost more in the city. I had my notebook filled up with like 18 pages of leads and phone numbers and jobs to look for and amazingly enough, Uno's was actually looking for workers. I was incredulous. I went in to the resteraunt and was greeted by a smiling manager with an earpiece named Chad who seemed like your typical cool dude recent college grad. And somehow he was the manager, maybe the fact that this location is across the street from New York University in the East Village (Manhattan) has something to do with this. I don't know. But right now I'm feeling overwhelmed with joy from finally getting a job, combined with the sudden drop of having one of my main goals knocked out of the way and I was so tired from that struggle that I feel the need to recharge my batteries till ne...
