My Mes...

And what a mess it is...
I mean, this month, I complete 29 years in this certain body, in this certain continent called America. This will be the third straight birthday which I will enjoy here in Argentina.
I was hoping that this month brings me some good luck, but so far, as of the first week, things seem to continue in the same fashion as the past 5 months, or so. Although, I can conclude they have become more interesting, and thats a sign of growth, no? Or, as with difficult matters, or with the solving of them, we grow, as a person, as complex problem solving minds and machines.
I cant yet say that with my added year, I have become more sure of myself, as in my identity. But I hear that happens more when someone is in thier mid 3os, so, I have a few more to figure it all out...ha... Which, I am narrowing it down, I feel. Or perhaps its through routine that one concludes certain personal truths.
You might imagine I can go on like this for a little longer, creating more vague and generally non interesting things to type about, myself, or the little bit of knowledge of life that I assume to understand. But, I wont...

Man, 29... Thats a lot of candles.

Tierre de Campeonas!!!

As a news source, I generally check out BBC. That is when I am looking for news in english, which is different from the news I get when I check out sites in Spanish, such as TeleSur... ( http://telesurtv.net/noticias/secciones/nota/57728-NN/denuncian-que-eeuu-vende-75-del-armamento-mundial-a-mas-de-200-organizaciones-y-paises-desconocidos/ha, perfect timing. An article about how the US sells 75 percent of the worlds arms and weapons supplies, to over 200 different contries and organizations...

Thus, an interesting story I saw in BBC is how the US has made a robotic remote controlled car that can hop large fences and keep rolling. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8253807.stm It is unfortunate that science is often motivated by military support thus needs. It bothers me that the US continues to focus on armed conflicts as an attempt to solve or perhaps accept other countries and peoples local realities.

Las Mazorcas, which I still dont know what that means

Yeah, more underlining!!

Tuesdays are not known for there Art Openings. Niether am I. But I could be known for them, if I can keep up this rate of one show every two months, or less. I have a feeling things will now slow down as far as showings are concerned. Regardless, recently we celebrated my second solo show here in BsAs. This one was an improvement on the first one, but far from what I would like to accomplish, as far as just art shows are concerned. The place, a restuarant in San Telmo, Las Mazorcas, was way easier to work with, as far as hanging things on the walls, which there was twice as much, or more, large white wall space. Thus there was more motivation to do some larger stuff, newer, exciting... Like last time, the visitors were mainly just friends and thier friends, a very pleasant crowd to have around. Such as those in the picture. (left to right. Paco, Dario, Nando, Rodo, Oski, Capo, Chino, Cyn, and Yo) To name a few.

There are more photos to be seen here. http://picasaweb.google.com/justinogrant/OpeningAtLasMazorcas#

OverAlls

In case you have forgotten, or never knew, I look handsome in homemade jean overalls, no?

Yesterday, was a important day, an Anniversary of an huge event which changed the world, drastically. I think I wrote about it last year. If you can guess what it is, you might win a high five...

Underlined for more importance.

So, In a week and some change, I will have my second solo art show, just me and some paintings. Ive been working a bit big than normal. The main work is a new one, which wieghs in at 150cm by 160cm. For all you English using users, you can do the conversion yourselves. I will soon post pictures because its a strange one. Attached is a link to the digital invitation. Im not sure what I did, but this entry is all underlined, and Im too tired to try to figure it out.

Quote of the day

I am one of the many people who recieve daily emails from Wikipedia with notes of history and arguementalble facts.  I mainly read the quote of the day.  And, todays I found to be interesting, so im passing it along.

Against boredom even gods struggle in vain.
  --Friedrich Nietzsche

Maybe the attached watercolor is god being bored...

Maybe.

Personally, Im a little bored of the US military and big businesses interviening and causes problems for South American countries.  I thought maybe Obama would be different, but I am afraid hes afraid to stand up against these big businesses.  Anywho...
