I can no longer allow one ounce of my energy to be wasted on things like vanity, insecurity, blind relationships. I know that because I am only human I will often succumb to many energy drainers. So, I've decided to at least make a concerted effort at controlling the types of energy drainers I become involved in.

 On another note, I have my second dental cleaning scheduled for tomorrow. I must admit a part of me does not want to go but not because I am afraid or anything. Well... it is the expense that frightens me the most. But I know that I should just buck up and get the process over with.

 All is going according to plan. Yes. Not much else to divulge at this juncture other than the fact that I am currently alternating between my painting and writing. I approach both in the same way; with pure spontaneity. To see examples of my artwork visit my art blog here: www.maniacalartist.blogspot.com

 I've uploaded two new works to the WORKS section. They are titled The Bar and Familiar Self. Please feel free to download them, read them and share them.
