Notes on Achieving Success

Painting by Mark Grotjahn
Re art:
Make it ugly. Aim for disgusting. Include half-eaten faces, spiders, dripping blood and severed limbs here and there. Think "The Scream" meets Keith Haring. Add Elmer's glue and cut paper to paint. Make it look like someone threw up on canvas.

Re writing: 
Eliminate all subject matter. No punctuation or wrong punctuation, bad spelling. Try for a lot of typos. Write about sick and twisted perverts having sex, or vampires.

Re blog:
It doesn't matter, it's a blog.

Time Marches On

Two days ago I was 79. Yesterday was my birthday. Now today I am 80. I didn't realize back then how young I was.  Pay attention, people.
