if you ever have only five dollars, advertise.
if you ever have only five dollars, advertise. and i once told someone
that given five hundred dollars and a month to make myself famous, i
could. so here i am with that five hundred dollars almost spent and my
month almost over. and if no one comes tonight. tomorrow. ill be
fading into obscurity.
but i didnt really start with five hundred dollars and my month was
too occupied with trying to find a way to live than making myself
famous. but theyre all excuses. i failed. but i learned a lot. i cant
sell for one. i thought i could. if it was my own stuff. because i
could advertise. but selling is different from advertising. and i cant
sell.
but with any luck ill be given a second chance. tomorrow i apply for
general assistance. and my father offered me a studio and a gallery in
his store. i could live at my parents house and not worry about trying
to live. this time i could do it right. but though im tempted. i want
to do this on my own. and i dont want to live with my parents. so i
wait here tonight. tomorrow. until im starving on the streets. or
making a living off my art. so no one can say i gave up too soon.
because living on the streets is far better than giving up something i
believe in. ive lived on the streets before.
