It's been awhile since I've really posted on a regular basis; my old blog got left behind with my old MySpace account. I miss it; it was a way for me to put a thread out in the world that is open but not so direct as posting shit on FaceBook. Too many people who there who know me some, but not enough. Sometimes an escape from your friends is nice. Anyway. Been living in this desert town for about two and a half years (in the state off and on for over a decade) so I guess it's my hometown now. Sometimes I miss the water back home but not enough to want to live there. The people are different here, more accepting than any place I've ever been. Santa Fe was one of the easiest places I've ever been homeless in, everyone was so easy going. The land of manana, right? I haven't been painting as much as I'd like to lately. School has eaten up so much of my time; I like it but do I really need so many essays and projects? I'll just be glad to take the summer ...
