Working on a Website

If anybody tells you that websites are an easy thing to make? They have never made one obviously. I have painted many large paintings and hundreds of difficult portraits, but never have I taken on such a difficult tasj as making a website! Wheeew! Lots of work.

so to all the web designers out there? You do good work... I applaud you....

Now, back to work.

If you would like to se what I have been making? Go to www.michaeljmayosky.com and tell me what you think.

Rain...

Rain. Such a simple word that means so many things. It can be loud and quiet. Rain can be hard or soft. Cold and warm, welcome or disdained. Rain is a great example of what it means to represent every state of being. So, on this rainy Forth of July, 2009, I decided to start a blog. I have never really "blogged" before, but a friend started a blog, and I liked the idea. So here it goes, and lets hope my writing skills improve over time.
Rain is a good thing, always. Never let a person tell you that rain is bad. Even when it is not needed or wanted for that matter. Rain means life. And life is good. So even on this day of fireworks shows that will be soaked and canceled because of the rain, I welcome it. I hope it rains more. The sounds of pitter patter and flowing water from a gutter or stream, keeps me calm and of sound mind. I can think for a moment without being stressed or late. Late you say? Allow me to explain...
I am a painter, and I need sunny days and clear nights to work. Now work is good, and I love my work. My hands are the best part of my physical self. I rely on them to keep going with the gears of society. I need my hands to feed my children, and to feed myself too. And rain means I will not be working that day. Lazy? No. I am not lazy, but late yes, and always frantic. I get all worked up and stressed out about what I need to do and what I haven't done yet. And the rain says to me, "Slow down Michael, slow down and wait.". And that is when I can sit and say yes, there will be time to finish, and there will be time to work, but today on this rainy day, I will ponder and plan. And the days that there is no rain and the sun is on my back as I bend over a blank wall or canvas, I get more done. I get to be a better painter because I didn't swarm my thoughts with what needs to be done or what I didn't do yet. So yes, a rainy day is welcome to me, and I will always use the day to finish my thoughts instead of finishing my work. And my work is no good to anybody when I have my head in a knot.
So there is my first blog. I hope it will continue and help me think straight. I need to think straight more often. I have a history of acting on impulse and that has caused me to push friends and lovers away from me. I loath that about me, but the soft rain is telling me to hang tight and it will work out when the rain is finished.
