I dislike New Years Eve, mostly because of the dripping nostalgia, the list of celebrities who died, the montage of the best, the worst, the funniest. I hate resolutions because I never keep the one I've been making for 10 years now. To make it a really lost night for me, I don't really drink and the forced gaiety irritates me.
Really, can you imagine trying to party with me tonight?
I choose to look forward and envision the changes I plan for this coming season. Because I learned a lot of things and I'm going to use them.
I'm working on new jury slides because what booby traps an artist is not fear, it is smugness.
Rain in the forecast can't worry me anymore because I have lived through 4 terrible storms in my little white tent and not only survived them but had great sales.
The most valuable asset in an art show business is the support and friendship of your fellow carnies. I can't wait to see them all again.
The idea of a new season makes me happy because I am astonishingly grateful to be able to make a living this way. I know how many people would love to be able to drop the job shackles and do what we do. I intend to loudly bitch and moan when warranted, but I feel blessed all the same.
While planning for the future I am totally aware that you never know what might make you change those plans and sometimes those changes are for the best after all.
I am so looking forward.
