     Corey. The art I want to do now is of a real person with a real face.   
   Not a dream. Not a fantasy. No. Full disclosure. I have found a muse. We   
   shall see if he is willing. I have asked his permission if he could be   
   my muse. I need a man to be my muse, not a fairy. The castle in the sky   
   has to do with something else. I am having a hard time getting along   
   with a certain monk around a certain area inside myself and I am just   
   going to have to learn to behave myself. I HATE THIS. That one can not   
   be my muse, thank God. I have my easel and my canvas and my paints and   
   my photographs. Now we just have to see if the subject is willing. When   
   painting a portrait of a person, you must not do it against their will.   
   Oh no. You must ask for a blessing! That is the Orthodox way. To do   
   EVERYTHING with a blessing, like it or not. Oh boy. Oh brother.   
   Obedience. That's the way to salvation. Ask if it is ok. I don't have an   
   ash tray. I don't usually eat in my room. I chose a MacBook and not an   
   iMac. I need the portability.
