Instead the world just continues to rub salt in my wounds and laughs like a hyena while it does it.
I dunno. I think that the world, or the universe for that matter, doesn't actually care one way or another about us. Depending on how one looks at it, this can be either terrifying or freeing.
By chance, a perfect cartoon regarding this just happened to show up in the paper yesterday...
Mmm, gonna clip that one for sure. Methinks it may join the other favorites of mine on one of my walls.
I tell myself I don't care what other people think. But of course I do. Not as much as I used to, but far more than I should. Or I wouldn't have put on eyeliner to go to work this morning.
LOL-- Hey, we all have to compromise somehow!
For what it's worth, one of the very few advantages of growing older is that, at least for many people, you finally stop worrying about what other people think, at least of your art. I know what I'm good at, what I'm not good at, and what I'm good at is good enough.
Frigging mice. Probably live in the walls.
Yes, they do. And in the ceiling, floors, and many other convenient locations. Being tiny does add to their versatility!

Well, here's a teeny tiny bit of good news... thanks for the thoughts on the pix I recently posted, and in my answer tonight to your reply, I added two hi-rez copies of the images you said you particularly liked. Clip away, if ye wish!
(Plus some cool commentary on cars by Paul Simon, no extra charge! :-)
