My Favorite Artist

To answer the question, You-Know-Who: My favorite artist would be the late and great Keith Haring with Henri Matisse coming in a very close second. Although I'm a fan of many others as well, those two would be at the top of my list. Since nobody's reading so much these days anyway I figured I might as well just answer that one right here instead. Usually not big on the pop art thing, I never even cared much for Warhol's stuff. Haring obviously is the exception.

    Thank you. Died too young from the AIDS back in the day, I wish he'd hung around somewhat longer. Thanks, Diane.

    I just looked his stuff up, it's very interesting. I like the sappy artists like Thomas Kincaid.

    Hey, Rain! No surprise that Kincaid is on your list, I guess. Personally, I'm not a huge fan. But ... you know I like the sap as much as anyone, and even though I chose Haring as my overall favorite, and Matisse runner up, I LOVE LOVE Andrew Wyeth and figure you probably might, too, eh? Particularly the Master Bedroom painting. I actually bought a print of that one a few years ago on eBay. Probably my favorite painting ever.

    I LOVE his art too. Learned of him when working for Flax Art & Design. Mattisse too. They had lots of goodies by several artists...but of course...It was Flax "Art and Design." (duh) :)

I Think

I think I'm bored blogging. I think I'm done with it. I think what's the point? I think you should check out my blogroll instead. I think they say stuff better anyway.

Betty White "needs to start taking her relationship with God serious." Seriously?

I was one of those grassroots Facebook campaigners responsible for Betty White hosting Saturday Night Live the other night, so for that, let me just say: "You're very welcome!" I thought she was fantastic, better even than I had expected she might be, and by most accounts her coming on the show was a huge success. Except for some, who apparently had more eternal concerns weighing on their minds, precluding enjoying it so much. Like Jose, who while conceding that Betty White is legend "in this day and age of rebels and rockers" (I really don't know what that means, but it seems to be a good thing), is more concerned about her afterlife appearance instead, presumably being so old as she is. A legend, sure ... "However, I think Betty really needs to start taking her relationship with God serious. Betty can't please this new generation, she has nothing to prove to them. Her relationship with the Lord is what she needs to take serious." Well, all...

It Could Happen

I was digging deep again, as I do every year or so, into my box of keepsakes and relics that I really don't know why I kept them but did. Stuff I wrote as a kid (some of that, I must say, rather disturbing), old letters of the real life mailed sort, newspaper clippings of miscellany, that have strangely yellowed and gotten brittle already and that shit just ain't right since it seems not so long ago ... whatever, I'm getting old. From the Kansas City Kansan , newspaper that we got delivered daily, Friday, July 25, 1975, I had cut out and kept this one particular article headlined "Youngster completes first novel." I was always writing as a kid, so I remember very well snipping this one item, on account of the twelve-years-old youngster was my same age, and I very much wanted my own novel published. Of course I hadn't written it yet, but I figured this proved I could do it, too, kept it for an affirmation thingy. Over the years I've remembered saving that s...
