I'm a Jazz fan, always.
However.
This series, considering I really dislike the Lakers, I am a Celtics fan. One of my favorite non-Jazz players in the League is Garnett. I love to watch his theatrics when he's on the bench. He is more interesting than the game itself. I also like Paul Pierce and Ray Allen. I don't know what to think of Rondo yet. He's good, but he's not Deron Williams good.
Unfortunately, I also appreciate super duper talent when I see it. Therefore, I appreciate Kobe Bryant. I will be the first person to state that Kobe Bryant is easily argued the best NBA player in NBA history. He is equal if not greater than Jordan. He's finally become a closer (been so for about 4-5 years). I really enjoy watching him play. That guy is so determined, and so talented, it makes me sick.
So really, I wouldn't be terribly disappointed if the Lakers win game 7 because I like Kobe. But I will be hoping that Boston gets the banner this year.

two couples of very homely looking folks
Original, acrylic, 22x44ish. I haven't sealed or framed them yet, I still want to get some pro photos/scans of these and i've heard it is better w/o sheen. I enjoy doing larger ones like these.

2 new pieces
Hey all, two new pieces to report. Two new Lincolns too. I haven't put hangers on the back yet but I will then i'll put them on Etsy and/or a local showing. By the way I am aware my sentences aren't gramatically and/or punctually and/or repetitive but I don't care because I'm not being graded by a professor/professor's aide. I have to use up my favorite trash before I can justify bringing more home...so I am using it up. I have a lot to use up.

Abe in 2010
He's baa-aaack
Abe is back on a recycled 2x4 cut-off (cut down to 2.5x3.5x2) with a bunch of screws. It's a black and white beauty with red accents. Marvelous. The thing is, I started painting an entirely different person and this guy showed up. Well, I'll put this one either on etsy or somewhere in Portland...we'll see.
Lately i've been listening to Lady Gaga and a new (new to me) Townes Van Zandt CD I got at Borders. I can't get enough of both of them. I wish the two could do a duet. I bet they both would've if they could've.

Portland is weird?
I have moved to the sunny Pacific Northwest. I only wish it would rain a little bit more.
I finished a painting today. Abe. I thought I was done with Abe, but he came back. He's a hanger-on. It's a sweet looking black and white miniature. I should get around to photographs in the next two days. I really like what I did with it.
I have been busy with job hunting and catching up on schoolwork. More art and music is sure to come.
adieu.

some of my current favorite songs
Some of my current favorite songs:
1. "No One Knows I'm Gone" by Tom Waits
This is a song that creeps me out as I think how many people lie under the ground I stand on, and no one knows they're there. I really like Scarlett Johansson's version of this song as well. She nailed it.
2. "Parting Glass" by Emer Kenny
This song is part of the legendary Putumayo album series, from "Celtic Crossroads." I have many versions of this song, and they are all good. But this version is the best.
3. "Crystal Ship" by The Doors
This isn't a typical Doors song at all. It has a quality more consistent with classical music than anything. I don't think I have ever listened to this song just one at a time. I always repeat it.
4. "Has Been" by William Shatner
In this song, Shatner has a spagetti western theme song as he speaks. He makes an excellent and thoughtful argument that 'has beens' are better than their critics. "Has been was. Has been, might again." Meanwhile, you and me are critical of other's fame, and we have nothing to show for it. Just listen to the song.
5. "Portland, Oregon" by Loretta Lynn and Jack White
Aside from the fact that I am moving to the Portland area, this is a great song. Loretta and Jack are great. I hope they continue to collaborate. I also hope Jack White collaborates with other old time musicians that are ready for a comeback. It's very Rick Rubinish.
