They'll tear us apart if you give them the chance

I had a revelation in the car this morning; AND I HAVE FORGOTTEN IT.
Rather frustrating.
C'est pas grave.
I think it may have been something along the lines of; Don't be scared anymore, go for it.
Or, life is too short, who cares, do what you want.
I'm in rather a cynical mood today, and feeling particularly self-centred. I'm not proud of it!

On Sunday night I couldn't sleep because I kept having ideas for art. I had to keep turning on the light so I could quickly sketch or write something.
I found a street art magazine the other day with almost fifty pages on Banksy, I just about died of excitement, and practically threw the thirty dollars (Yes, THIRTY for a magazine) at the cashier.

And that wasn't too shabby really, but now I honestly want to drop two subjects so I can do my art panels again this year.

My absolute pipe dream is to become a graffiti artist.

But last night, I woke up at least once every hour. I struggled to sleep and then couldn't stay asleep.

Today, I'm a little down, and I have no idea why.

I almost don't like getting excited, (as I have been for the past couple of days) as I know it usually leads to me being very down after. Why?! Have I convinced myself that this is the pattern?

And now, I'm so tired that I'm over the idea of sleeping and I just think I'll stay up all night.

Sound like a plan?

My friend once told me that you can't used fatigue as an excuse for being tired, it just makes your feelings more prominent.
Maybe?

If that's your dream why don't you just do it? I don't know much about your school, but is art that much work? If it is do you actualy need to do these panels? or even the subject to do graffeti? Looking at your blog you've done some graffeti before. Why don't you just start making the streets into your art?

Yeah, art is a huge amount of work. And there are three panels this year instead of two, and I currently have a full timetable and take four scholarship subjects, along with several out of school commitments. Realistically I'd have to drop two subjects to take on art. Don't you worry, I've got some tricks up my sleeve, it'll at least stay a hobby!
