Lindsay Blog

Is “artist’s block” a thing? I think it’s a thing. And it’s the only way to describe how I’ve been feeling these past few weeks. So, unlike the last time there was a huge gap between posts, this time I am sorry. Sorry I haven’t posted new artwork or anything for a while! Minus ten blog points for me.

I’m really going to try not to make this an emo-sadface-poor-me post, but it’s getting a little frustrating.

I’m absolutely no good at a lot of things in life. Math. Sports. Making new friends. Lasting the entire hour at any given aerobics class. Plenty of things. And I’m absolutely fine with that! I’ve made my peace. Lindsay, you’re not an athlete. Nor are you ever going to be a mad scientist who invents the next big must have gizmo. And Linds, you can forget about ever being the most popular kid in school. Not. Gonna. Happen. And Lindsay always replies, “Hey, that’s cool. Let somebody else be that guy, and I’ll be glad for them. I’ve got my own thing going. I’m an ARTIST.” Oh, did I mention I talk to myself? Yeah. …Moving on.

Drawing, painting, and most all of the “arts” have always come fairly naturally to me. It runs in the family. It’s also the thing that makes me happiest in the whole wide world! I love to express myself through art, even if it only makes sense to me. It’s just… well, natural. Except when it isn’t.

I go through these spurts of hating everything I try to create. I’m in one right now. The one real “talent” I have seems to be temporarily out of order. And it pretty much sucks.

To sum up: I’m feeling uninspired.

I’m currently sending out as many good vibes as possible in hopes that the universe will give me a muse. Help me universe!

I’m sure everyone agrees, but it’s worth saying: Good for you Conan! You stood up for yourself in an unfair situation and you did it with class. Everyone, even Leno fans, can agree that you’re in the right.

Conan O’Brien is not just another funny man. He’s brilliant! And this goes beyond the fact that he has his own writing abilities and extensive background in the field of Making-Lindsay-Happy. Early 90s Simpsons, anyone? I won’t list his accomplishments as they are well known. I will say, however, that The Conan has had an influence on my life before I even knew it.

In addition to that, he’s absolutely the best interviewer on TV right now. Day or night. He’s charming yet goofy. Polite, but knows how to “play” with his guests. He even manages to “flirt” with female guests without it being creepy. Just funny and purely entertaining! I’ve often noticed how he instinctively knows how to pull the best anecdotes from people. He has the unique talent that is being able to stray extremely far from topic and then bring it back effortlessly – or at least, with hilarious results. Even when his guest has already made the rounds promoting some book or some movie, his interviews always manage to entertain both guest and audience! If you pay attention, you know that usually doesn’t happen.

I’ve said enough. It’s all been said before.

I’m secretly hoping he’ll be snatched up by some other network. NBC doesn’t deserve him or his crew.
