To Post, Or Not To Post

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

So we’ve had a lot of fun with hats and owligators and stuff.   It’s been great.  Let’s do that some more.  Any suggestions?

On the other hand, I had a couple of pretty black hours the other week and an illustrated poem came out of it.  It helped me through those hours, but it’s kind of bring-downer.  Should I post?  Is it the artist’s job to say what he thinks, good bad or indifferent?  Should I assume that medicine for me is medicine for you?  Should I just give in to artistic vanity and post because I think it’s good work?  Or should I not post?  Should I decide that people don’t need my inner struggle?  Decide that if it’s medicine for me that’s all it needed to do?  Decide that the best thing for me to do is to try to be entertaining, give people a good time, and keep the rest to myself?

I’ve been back and forth on this.  What do you think?
