Several “Ima Best” awarded artists will be interviewed in a series of articles entitled, “Artist Illumination.” Alison Price was featured on January 9th and look for more in the future.

what i'm really good at is rabble rousing

It's come to me that the only thing I'm really good at is getting people whipped up about things they thought they didn't care about, or perhaps don't even need to care about.

this leaves me being good at one of the following:

1.  Politics
2.  Religion
3. Education.

For many reasons we can be thankful that I chose #3 - but the real reason i did was because I wanted the job where I could say "I don't know, what do you think?, lets figure this out together"

and that is why it really is the best job for me.

MORE TIME PLEASE

please universe.  I need a little more time please.  please.  make me naturally rejuvinate, not sleep, work faster, smarter, and oh oh, I really need some exercise.  this is not a wish to loose my job, become a fugitive, or a death wish...  i just really really would love to freeze time and get a little work done.  that's all.  small wish universe.  small wish



And what the hell is that red mark on my cheek?  Been there for weeks.  so weird.  nervous it's getting better.  I'm getting deformed.. i just know it.  more than i am
