Welcome to My World, However Small It is!

I've been meaning to write about where I live for sometime. But I didn't think it was quite appropriate for my art blog. So here it goes. Let me begin by first giving you a little background. I moved out into this tiny little community about 3 yeas ago. I had this idea, that if I owned my house out-right, I could afford to live out my dream and paint for a living. Well I'm still alive and I'm still painting. So it's working, kind of. But about a year ago my car broke down and my world got smaller. There's a bus to the next biggest town only once a week on Fridays. For 4 1/2 hours I get see something different from Jo'Burg while I'm rushing around getting my week's supply of groceries and library books. The other 6 days a week I'm either at home painting or I hanging out at the minimart with the old fellows from town. Topics range from Chupacabras, 2012 (the supposed end of the world) to let's start a war with Mexico, and the Big Lie, Global Warming. The chupacabras and the end of the world I can hang with, the rest is just too crazy for me.
