So I set out last thursday to paint by the river with my friend cayla drennen. The weather was beautiful and it seemed to be just right to create a masterpiece. My friend michael ammons appeared and said hello only after a young couple asked if we were art majors. So with esteem through the roof I began my painting. It was an artistic failure. I got frustrated with the colors or maybe the shape or maybe the fact that it is nowhere in my ability to actually paint something worth looking at. The art soon just became objective: FINISH THIS JUNK WITHOUT MAKING IT LOOK WORSE! I failed at that too. I now have a canvas that literally looks worse than when I started. But don't worry the moon was coming out. I thought to myself, "Alas the moon! It comes to for me to save this horrible day!" I ran back to my dorm to snatch the polaroid camera to take a picture of its majesty. I knew where I wanted to go to take it, THE TRAIN TRACKS! that would be perfect for my VERY LAST POLAROID of this set. Although as I got out there I realized that the moon was very small through the lens of the camera. So I thought, "HMMMMM. Maybe I'll just take a picture of these here train tracks, they look nice enough." Turns out it was kinda dark so you can't see that much of them. The day was basically a huge WASTE! But now that I look back at this picture it just reminds me that People > art. This day only got better because after all this I ate my weight in bbq with some awesome dudes and watched some great tv at the hassel's + randall apartment. The day ended beautifully, artfully. Enjoy the polaroid so you can be underwhelmed
