Happy New Year

First posting of 2009, hope I do more this year. I probably have more to say, last year I didn't.

On art.

Well, you know you think you have things figured out a little, but really I'd have to say the big thing I think I've learned is not to worry about it too much. I've tried to analyze things and tried to explain things and what I've found is that I don't need to analyze or explain nuthin'.

In fact it's probably better if I don't say a word about any painting or any attempt at art that I might attempt.

I think that's a good thing to learn and it certainly helps me in situations where I'm asked to explain myself.

Of course that does mean that I don' t have as much to say about stuff, maybe I should branch out a little and talk about other things.

On Music. I love music but I can't write about it. You try it, take an album that you like and tell somebody why you like it. You might be good, some people are but I'm not.

I think it's because the music isn't necessarily listened to by my left brain, I think I'm a right brain listener and as such, know what I like, but can't tell you about it.

So no writing about music either.

On Baseball. I could write a LOT on baseball -- it's funny why I would be able to do this and not write about music, maybe I'm not so far off with my left/right brain theories. Baseball is all a left brain proposition if you're talking about it, maybe not if you're playing it. I read once that what the brain does to estimate where a fly ball will land rivals and in fact beats the amount of calculations done by the greatest supercomputer.

Of course that was a few years ago.

On people. Give me some good gossip any day.

Well, gotta go catch my bus. See ya!
