Painting with fire. I have decided to embark on a journey into the trades. This has nothing to do with making, or not making art anymore, I'm not entering a dialog of giving up or quitting, it is about finally getting to Bora Bora. When recently pondering my leadership qualities, I realize that I prefer and feel more comfortable with the word 'pioneer.' This lets me believe that it is a good idea to explore and whatever I find will be of great importance.

Don't be such a tool !
Today was my first day of school!
I was given something that I have always wanted - a chalk line. I'm not exactly sure what it is for yet, I mean I know it makes lines but when and where do you make them?
It came with a pile of other tools that seem quite heavy...along with my sexy black overalls and a shirt that snaps up to the neck. Gotta be ready for those nasty sparks.
Once again I find myself in a shop full of girls, most ten years younger then me. I heard the phrase ' we just had our grad,' and realized they were talking about high school. Two girls weren't old enough to sign some of the forms and had to take them home to their parents...What was I doing at 17? Probably drinking beer.
I didn't get a chance to look like a total nerd and take any photos of the shop, I was too busy trying not to puke listening to the safety talks about how it feels to get a chuck of burning metal down your chest or in your ear. Tomorrow I will be taping my glasses to my face while we scratch and tap.
