Excerpts From The Soundtrack Of My Life (210)

I tried so hard and got so far

But in the end it doesn't even matter

I had to fall to lose it all

And in the end it doesn't even matter

Femme Fatale - Nico and the Velvet Underground

I never liked The Velvet Underground until I listened to them.

Sometime around 2010 I downloaded their first album and,

I loved it.

Highly recomended.

I think back when they first came out I was just put off by the whole seedy Andy Warhol scene so I really never listened to them.

Lesson learned:

"Don't dislike a band until you have at least listened to them."

Time and Entropy

Miami 2009

Time and entropy arise mutually like a boat and its wake.

Entropy is fractal which means that time never began.

So relax.

Life is so beautiful. And so amazing.

Streets of San Francisco

San Francisco 2003

I was driving through the streets of San Francisco one day in 2003 when I saw a billboard with something like this design on it. I just had a passing glance at it but I though gee, that would be fun to draw.

When I got back to where I was staying I sat down and drew this.

Just like that.

It's kind of cool. Maybe I'll draw it again.

Sunday mornings

Today is our 10th wedding anniversary.

What a trip.

I drew this about a year after we got married.

I still love hanging out in bed on Sunday mornings cept now we have two little kids sleeping with us.

Filipino style.

Paint tube #1

pencil on newsprint

Venice California 1975

I love finding old drawings. These are a couple of drawings I did almost fifty years ago. I remember drawing them quite clearly. I was living at the time with some friends in an old house in Venice Beach, California. I drew these one day sittling at the kitchen table.

I just took these photos today. The newsprint is about ready to fall apart but the drawings themselves look fresh. I'm amazed that we're all still intact.
