My First Gallery Exhibit!!!!
HOWL II
OURARTSITEDOTCOM INTERVIEW
I think this sums it up:
I also came across my first grade report card today, and found it most interesting. Specifically, my eye was drawn to the Teacher Comment section. Being an egotist, I am quite taken with the notion of myself as a child; what I thought, how I behaved, what I wanted. A part of me strongly believes the teacher wrote the same general message on all the report cards. But perhaps she didn’t, for her message is a bit odd. To wit, “BRANE is a pleasure to have in my class. He works and plays well with others. He accepts criticism with good grace and has a wholesome attitude toward school.â€
First things first, she says I worked and played well with others? I find that interesting. Apparently my anti-social nature was brought on later in life than a mere 5 years out of the womb. I accept criticism with good grace? Oh, where are you little five year old me? Please come back and impart to me some of your innate, innocent wisdom.
Though the most enigmatic in my mind is the “has a wholesome attitude toward school.†What the fuck is she talking about? The fourth definition listed for “wholesome†reads “free from disease or taint.†Yes, now I am positive of what she meant. I liked school, I did not have a problem with it like some of the other kids I vaguely remember in a half dream. I long for wretched youth, when my good looks and smarts were still fresh and nubile, rubbery and wet, clean and appealing.
I wish I could hang around with myself as a child. My weird new brain. I remember getting angry cause I wasn’t popular in kindergarten. There were a couple of cool girls who hung out with this one kid, ah what’s the use? Fuck those assholes, and the easy lives they no doubt currently lead, all rich and classy and handsome and cultured and sophisticated.
I really want to cry right now.
Oh yeah, here's my new short film, The Grass Under Ground.
Watch it!
