We confirmed, today, several things. One; skating with the 12 and under group in roller derby practice does not mean you get out of being incredibly sore the next day. Two; there is no place to skate in Lawrence that doesn’t involve potholes and fast-moving cars.
Ugh.
Spent the evening downtown, surrounded by music and the people who make it. I’m content, I think, to be in awe of them and what they create rather than attempt to join them in that creation.

This makes a perfect transition to today’s word; I think I’ll start in on the art. (Well, it’s all been about art...I’ll start in on MY art...)
a- round adv. To or on all sides; in succession or rotation; from one place to another; in a circle or circular movement.
I decided, for today’s piece, to do a very rare self portrait. Although, in some way or another, I think a lot of my art is a self portrait of sorts. “Around” got me thinking about my approach to people and, in a broader sense, the world in general. I don’t wish to be directly involved in things, or to be paid attention to; I simply enjoy being...around.
Artistically, I’m not fond of how this came out, but I do enjoy the story behind it.
Thanks for reading.
