Your helpPosted on 2008/02/14 09:14:29 (February 2008).  Ok, guys. A warning: I'll be talking about myself once again. So no need to read what follows if you feel you cannot stand it. As I told you in my previous article, is it now my policy to devote my life to creative activities. I need to produce artworks not for the sake of it, but because it instills the feeling that I exist. Existence through the matter I fashion and which, hopefully, will remain after my flesh rots away. Don't mistake it for mere vanity. It is vanity, sure. It is also fear, fear of the void, fear of the unknown, fear to sink into oblivion (here again, vanity). I want to communicate my feelings to posterity. For we are made of flesh and feelings. I'm not a walking stomach. I'm not a consumption unit we'll erase from statistics once I die. Let me give you an example: my father, now deceased. He was a civil engineer. My mother always kept saying that civil engineering was the crème de la crème. Yet, what did he achieve? What did he create? He would work from Mondays to Fridays. Come back late at night. On Saturdays he would clean his BMW and play golf on Sundays. From time to time he would go out or invite friends for dinner. That's about it ! Great life! I don't want to fit such a mould. Let me prove you there are alternatives. Let me claim it through my work, written or artistic. Talking about written works, I unearthed a manuscript which I wrote a year ago and never sent. I think, Nigel, that you might have read it already. It badly needed a rewrite and I'm pleased to inform you that it's done. Nigel, would it be possible for you to have another look at it? Bryan, I'd be delighted if you too could read it and let me know what you think of it. John, Lox, MM, anyone else: would you be interested? You see the dinky here above? I remember my father used to have plenty of them. Military cars, trucks, tanks,etc. The whole collection misteriously vanished when I was still a kid and I suspect my brother had sold the lot for cigarettes. I now endeavour to renew it. Comment 1 Interesting post, sheri! Yes, of course I am happy to help - just let me know. :)
