YOUR ERIC NORTHMAN PAINTING VALUES MUSHROOM!!!!

"SO, MIKE. I'M MAKING AN ERIC NORTHMAN PAINTING. NOT FINISHED YET. WELL... NOT THE POINT"

"SO WHAT'S THE POINT? YOU WERE TOLD CRAP ABOUT IT?"

"YES, KINDA, NOT THE POINT. YOU'LL SEE THE POINT LATER. WELL SO I SHOWED THE PAINTING TO  SOMEONE AND THIS PERSON LOOKED AT IT AND FROWNED LIKE EATING LEMON. THEN STARTED SAYING ALL THE COLOURS AND SHAPES I SHOULD CHANGE TO MAKE FOR IT A COOL WORK. BUT FOR NOW IT WAS FINE, CAUSE IT WAS NOT FINISHED..."

"WELL.. WHERE IS THIS CONVERSATION GOING"

"WELL, I LEARNED THAT AFTER SAYING LOOK, I HAVE TO SAY, BUT DON'T TALK. I MEAN, THIS IS A PAINTING I MADE: LOOK BUT DON'T TALK"

HA. GOOD JOKE CUB.

"ALRIGHT. SO?" I ASKED.

"WELL, I'M USED TO IT. BUT CHILEANS KEEP LOOKING AT MY WORK IN MY BLOG SO I START TO WONDER IF THEY ARE SOME KIND REALLY INTERESTED ABOUT WHAT I DO"

"OH NOOOOOO. WE ALREADY HAD THIS CONVERSATION!!! I KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING: 2 WORDS : CHILEAN GALLERY"

"YE-AH. BUT LET ME FINISH, PLEASE, FIRE OF MY LOINS. WELL. MY SISTER CAME TO MY HOME WITH A CHINESE FRIEND. MY SISTER I WAS TOLD WAS AS REBEL AND CRAZY AS ME, I WOULD NOT BELIEVE IT AS SHE PLAYS DEAD BETTER THAN I, AND SHE IS CHRISTIAN AND WENT TO A THOSE BRAIN LAUNDRY MISIONER CENTERS. WHY WHEN I LISTEN THAT WORD IN CHURCH "MISIONER" I THINK IN SOMETHING PEOPLE DO IN BED? NOT THE POINT...

O.O!!!

...THE POINT IS. THE CHINESE GIRL, CAME HOME AND. AT SOME POINT SHE SAID SHE WAS CHRISTIAN TOO, LIKE MY SISTER. SO I ASKED HER IF SHE COULD BE CHINESE AND CHRISTIAN AT THE SAME TIME, AS I HAD ANOTHER IDEA AFTER WHAT THEY DID WITH THE TERRITORY OF DALAI LAMA. BUT SOONER THAN LATER I REALIZED THAT QUESTION SHOULD NOT BE MADE TO A CHINESE PERSON, WELL SHE JUST DID NOT ANSWER...."

O.o...! WHERE'S THE POINT?

...SO MY SISTER TOLD HER I HAD MORE THAN 100 PAINTINGS ALREADY MADE. AND IF SHE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM. SO I SHOWED THEM AS THE CHINESE GIRL WAS INTERESTED IN SEEING MY ART. SO I SHOWED HER SOME WORKS AND THEN I SHOWED HER MORE BECAUSE HER REACTION WAS THIS: TAKE A LOOK:

OH!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!! THIS IS AAAART!!!! IT'S INSPIRING!!!! IT'S JUST SO INSPIRING!!!! I WANT TO SEE MORE!!! IT MOTIVATES ME!!! MAKES ME FEEL GOOD!!!! IT'S JUST SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! ART!!! THIS IS ART!!! THIS IS MOTIVATING!!! THIS IS INSPIRING!!!

"SO I REALIZED MY WORK WAS BETTER THAN MDNA. I MEAN THE DRUG, NOT THE GODDESS. SO SHE GOT WHAT MY WORK WAS ALL ABOUT. MAKING OTHER PEOPLE HAPPY!"

"SO YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WOULD DO IF A CHILEAN GALLERY CAME BEGGING FOR SHOWING YOUR WORK" I SAID.

"WELL... TO BEGIN WITH. I'M NOT INTERESTED. TO CONTINUE... I DON'T WANT TO"

"AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WOULD DO... " I SAID THINKING.

"NO, I DO KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO: KICK THEIR ASSES. BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WILL DO. THAT'S DIFFERENT"

"WHY YOU'RE CHANGING YOUR MIND?"

"I DUNNO. THINGS AROUND ME ARE CHANGING. OR MAYBE I'M JUST CONFUSED. BUT I HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT, AND YOU AND THEN US. BUT MY ANSWER IS STILL NO."
