Yep, drew this on my phone using Drawcast app between sets - before The Shins came on stage.

The title of this post (and the ensuing artwork) comes from a Twitter update during the third Presidential debate. I had become fixated on a strand of Mitt Romney's hair that was apparently doing its own thing on Mitt's forehead that evening. Note that Barack Obama's hair stayed in place, but many tweeters also found time to comment on a different factor - how gray it was. It all seemed so superficial.

Today was a brain-frying day at work. I had planned on running during lunch, but that didn't happen because the weather became a downpour. I ended up sitting in front of my computer ripping my hair out trying to update a program I wrote that was dependent on something else that I had no control over - a something else that no longer existed in its previous form. So I had to figure out the something else, then integrate it back into my program.

Today I've surprised even myself and made it three days in a row drawing. What's more surprising is that today is Monday, I'm back at work, and I still found time to draw (a.k.a. lunchtime!). Unfortunately, today's drawing is not truly representational of the thing that triggered it - the music I was listening to. In fact, it is so NON-representational of the music that I'm kind of embarrassed to even mention the two were connected, but I guess this blog is my tell-all.

Today I started working on an idea I came up with for a tattoo involving one of my favorite animals: the Hawaiian green sea turtle. I don't know if I will ever get a tattoo, but I like the idea of a photo realistic one. I also don't have a clue how to design a tattoo. My husband is not too keen on the idea that I came up with in today's drawing - he likes another idea I came up with from art history: an image from a painting by Paul Klee (I will work on that one next - maybe not tomorrow, but next). Anyway, this idea is sort-of designed to go on my right shoulder.

The Kona fallout is in full swing. The crying. The insomnia. The questions. The search for answers. The kicking myself. The hating myself. The wondering about the future. The doubts. The fear of getting back into training just to fail again.
