I had so much fun with 30 new things…that I want more…I especially got inspired when Ki Ki took a photo of my paste up weeks later…I was sure it would have been ripped down the very next day. Obviously I make good glue….years of practice helps ;] Stay tuned for future paste up action.
Freshly pasted on 20th of September
And seen here on the 29th of October..I guess I don’t look to bad for a 39 day old paper person.
So next I am thinking I will do something Dada-esque and I really like the idea of self portrait…I see it more as a path of self discovery rather than a narcissitic tendency.
I woke up to late to see the really amazing red sky
….but for most of the day everything had a certain vibrance to it. We went to breakfast at Fiveways…I took some photos.
A typo (300 was typed instead of 30) made the other night got me thinking…I started doing 30 new things in the month of September. When I started ( a day late) I thought I would behard pressed to fill the whole month with new things. I kept thinking to myself……’If only I could have included: My tattoo….Dancing on stage at Dj Sega….Wrong Prom…etc etc’
I will have to admit my way of thinking has changed from seeing it as a lot of random bits of fun to more meaningful concept. So for the past few days I have been thinking that this is a really good way to live…Ok I admit not everyday do you feel like doing something new, but it’s definitely a nice way to achieve the things you want to in life…however silly and ridiculous they seem.
So can I achieve 300 new things?
Should I start another crazy challenge after the last day of September?
I’m not sure I want to do it in such a frantic way. But I am sure I want to achieve certain things and experience a whole lot of random stuff before I die.
Time for me to compile THE LIST…
THE LIST will be a master list of all the things I wanna do…big, small, silly, legal, illegal, safe, dangerous, girly or macho. THE LIST will not be static…it will be everchanging…things added and things crossed out (hopefully because I have accomplished said item!)
I have been wanting to do a paste up for a long time…So many years of postering and never having the time out from promoting and all the other stuff that fills my life. Anyway… as the days of September are coming to an end shortly…it’s now getting to the point where I needed to make sure I get the things ticked off my ‘rough’ list of new things. Originally I was planning to do a paste up of some artwork i have been working on…but I was talking to Cheech and she got me thinking…
What if I took one of my photos from a previous ‘30 new things’ and enlarge it to life size.
So here you have my first lifesize paste up… made in a rush on a busy sunday afternoon. So thanks Cheech for the added inspiration…i thought of you as I was getting paste all over my heels (yes I paste with class ;])
Sometimes you feel like just staying in…it’s sunny outside, people are walking past my window on their way to the beach, strolling with a morning coffee in their hand…walking the dog…grabbing the newspaper from the corner store…They can have the outside today…after all I found something new to do right here…..
1. Take one ridiculous self portrait..
2. Visit one random generic chainstore shoe website
3. Et Voilà!
So kids!!…the moral of this fine story is…never think you must leave the house to achieve something new 
Like a child with chocolate all over their hands saying they never ate it….I will deny it all. Oh yeah and it was sooo painful when I didn’t go to the tattoo parlour and get my tattoo…the one that is not there ;]
“Denial is a defense mechanism postulated by Sigmund Freud, in which a person is faced with a fact that is too uncomfortable to accept and rejects it instead, insisting that it is not true despite what may be overwhelming evidence.” Wikipedia
In my mind I was paying homage to Dali…I should have known this…or at least had the impetus to grab an artbook off my shelf or google it for christ sakes…well anyway I didn’t…it was a spontaneous thing…you know…one of those moment s when you grab the eyeliner and draw over the parts of your face you don’t usually apply eyeliner to.
It was not until after the deed was done, that I noticed….Dali has not a curl in his moustache.
But you know…if he was a woman I am positive he would!
Recipe to be added ;]
What started off as a thing to do jokingly…I have now become a fully fledge language student. Ok yes I am right at the beginning of my journey…but it’s exciting and fun. I am really glad I decided to do this!!
Thanks to my french friends who help me often. I hope my questions are not tooo repetitive and boring.
Oh and anyone that is thinking of learning a language…try this site www.livemocha.com….it great
