brains on emotional rollercoaster

Doodle for Jan 15, 2018
Mind's eye view of me from above.

Okay? I've decided I like the digital doodles for this project. Er... daily expulsion, whatever I'm doing. Also, I'm going to post 7 doodles in one weekly post, and I'll put my favorite doodles on top and push the less liked scribbles down the page. Unless I change my mind of course. Eh, whatever.

Yep. Brain chemicals, heart rate, time of day, plus stuff going on in the world and how successful we are in ignoring/reacting to it all.

So? That day after I state that I'm going to add 7 doodles to one weekly post, I draft up two of my environmental episodes and then return to the emotional self-portraits. Yep. Here ya go.

Doodle for January 18th, 2018
Today is Friday. Yesterday night, hubby and I, we skipped a day and decided Thursday was Friday. I was digging through some boxes looking for a glue-brush for bookbinding, and found a couple bottles of wine left over from Thanksgiving. We only opened one of them, but that was enough to throw us off task for the evening. 

The good news is, no news. Because of a mistake made by the New York Times help department, my newspaper subscription got canceled. Instead of reading the news on the toilet. (Yes, I've been reading the shit the US call news lately, on the "pot"). This morning I opened an Arts & Culture app. I've been alternating between art by the dead i.e. history, and ello. They have a pretty damn good blog. https://ello.co/elloblog full of art from around the globe, but mostly from NY (therefore everywhere). I've been cross-posting my #drawfool #doodles via ello. https://ello.co/uva-be . See :)

Doodle for January 7, 2018.


Things that divide us. #doodle #drawfool


a thing. Jan 8,2018


Chores and errands. Jan 9, 2018. Last night I couldn't sleep because I figured out how to "save the world", today, I cleaned the kitchen and went grocery shopping. 

Jan 10, 2018. I had some ideas for titles while doodling this, but the truth is I don't like it enough to even sign it. It's just a doodle that I hope doesn't look like the Window's logo :( as I got my colors reversed. Yep, what do ya know, dyslexia is actually good for something.

scribble "plan" for the tower of babble

Quote of no accountability "blah, blah... f***-it, we'll figure it out as we go". 

I know I’m a complete and total idiot when it comes to social networking + my rights of publicity and privacy and my personal digital biodata (face recognition, location patterns, purchase habits, etc…). 

Google must totally hate me. I imagine I’m on a list of people who, like me regularly complain about our rights versus their bottom dollar.

I try and fail over and over to rationalize why being tracked everywhere I go, and for everything I buy bothers me so much. Do I buy too much beer? Yes, I imagine I do buy way more beer than the average person. Do I really care? …. I pause and think about it for a bit.

No, my hang-up over personal biodata isn’t about drinking an embarrassing quantity of beer. 

I’ve been pondering this for a while now and I haven’t resolved a single angle of this equation. It remains this amorphous tangle. Physical characteristic discrimination as the new racism. The digital divide multiplied by the solar system scale of the income inequality gap. I should feel comfortable with the rest of the negative thousandaires. They map the world for free and we pay them by telling them where to buy the best beer. I see you are at a pub again, would you answer some questions and help our map app compete. I should just, click ‘yes’ thirteen times and drink my damn beer and shut up.
But, I can’t drink beer all the time. I wrote a fictional character who is somewhat immortal and he drinks beer all the time. But, I can’t physically do that. I don’t have the spare “change” or the extra liver.
So? I’m not going to drink beer tonight after work. I’m just going to do normal stuff, like eat a somewhat healthy dinner and maybe play some video game. Build a tower of babble for digital sheep. Whatever. Money wins, again. And the AIs will still be crawling long after I’m gone, so who gives a…. 


"Hi." Doodle for Jan 12, 2018.


Jan 13, 2018. Lately, been debating if I like the doodles I do via the very simple Google app on my Chromebook or drawing on paper with this set of ink pens I got as a gift.
