We waste on average 5 hours every week.
Plenty know of me but few select can say they really know me. I always have my bestest friend since first grade which is the wonderful Jennifer and she is literally a good 1/3 of me. She is always a constant in my life but that’s not who I am talking about today.
I’m referencing to my amazing friend (pretty much a bromance XD) DJ W. We crossed patches during summer and ever since we have been almost in-sync with each other. Truly, I never had a extremely strong male friend throughout my modest time but he is the first. We obviously bonded on first the language of art (which is not the easiest thing to learn) and how we fed off each others’ creatvity. Two some what similar yet totally different people. For me I am a very traditional, subdued, old world-like style to my art. I always refer to the societal structure of the past and the bluntness of it. I tend to convey stories or concepts through details and not through any major point of emphasis. Contrasting, he does the very opposite.He does epic style (and when I mean “epic” I’m referring the types of Shakespearean literature) paintings of figures. Each have something to say. I don’t exactly know what but that is what the viewers’ job is. His references are much more emotionally connected then my style; I am more of a person who makes art as a response to an event unlike DJ which he makes things relate to things he can emotionally feel. I can say we are both extremely talents in different skills. Frankly, I quite envy his ability to convey emotions through facial expressions.
As a person, he is pretty dope. I thank god that I had the luck to run into him. Not just the aspect that we can converse about art and feed off each other but the fact I have someone I can be truly honest and comfortable with. With most people, I put up a semi-faux personality. Only a select few know who I am. It’s nice to escape to a place where I can be just blunt. No need to force the kindness out of me. It’s not that we are mean but it’s just a relationship where I don’t need to hide and emphasize anything. I have no need to blow-up my so call “slutty” version of me. Sure it’s fun and all but there are definite downfalls about making fun of myself. I can express what I am truly thinking since I know we know each other well enough to understand (or at least I hope he thinks the same.) Overall, I thank god or whatever that we ran into each other and that he is part of my normal life.
No trackbacks yet.
