Don't let exhaustion stop the art. Did Picasso say, "I'm just too tired to create anything today"? Did Michaelangelo say, "I'm beat. I'm just gonna sit on my ass today." No they didn't.

It actually appears as if it's predigested. I'm sure it's fine though.

Don't give up. You'll have bad days and good. Some days people might refer to your work as worthless tripe. Other days they won't.

When I feel depressed, I find that the only thing that helps is a marathon session of smoking some really high grade weed. These "therapy sessions" can stretch for weeks and I don't talk to a single other person. Total bliss.

Wow, you still use Twitter? My personal integrity wouldn't allow me to do that. I guess someday in the future you can brag to your grandkids that you helped Elon Musk become the world's first trillionaire.

That sounds great. I would love to read that. Any chance of waiving the fee? Some people are really struggling financially these days.

I have a similar approach to avoid burnout. But I designate the first three weeks of every month as "Me Time." Essentially, I smoke a lot of pot and watch my favorite movies all day. In the remainder of the month, I'm in a total groove.

Similar thing happened to me. My 2nd grade art teacher had me transferred out of his class. It turned out okay though because years later he was accused of being a pedophile.

Unfortunately, there are always more critics than supporters. There always seems to be someone ready to call you a piece of trash.

Great! Look forward to seeing it. Ignore the critics. If someone says your new art is trash, just consider the source and move on.

Yeah, this team is joke. Expect them to take their traditional spot in 3rd or 4th place next year. Overhyped/undertalented.

This article was indeed prophetic. Baseball has been gutted of its entertainment value and its integrity. Going to the dentist has actually become more enjoyable than going to a baseball game.

The Broncos made a mistake by not signing Colin Kaepernick. If Kap were playing this Sunday, Denver would be guaranteed a Super Bowl spot.

Honestly, the Broncos should step aside and allow a more qualified team to step forward and play NE. Of course, their egos won't allow them to do this and the game will be a boring blowout.

Salmon is one of the healthiest foods in the world.....until you saturate it with sugar and salt. Then it becomes a metabolic nightmare.

Loved this book. I learned that the death penalty is applied disproportionately to murderers and rapists.

That's why the books from the library always have pages that stick together. Now I know where I got hepatitis from.

The only thing to do is put it in the outside trash immediately, then bring in an expert to chemically decontaminate your entire house.

I love tea too. I only wish it wasn't drenched in pesticides and other chemicals. My mother-in-law, an avid tea-drinker, was just diagnosed with Parkinson's because of this.

Processed meat is now classified as a class 1 carcinogen. This is the same classification as smoking and asbestos. Just so you know.
