Thank you, although your name is uncommon.

This is the first draft- you're the only one who knows what I'm going to paint, so what this will be. My job is to paint, you job is to guess. My job is to surprise you, your job is say "wow".

Christopher Gardner: Hey. Don't ever let somebody tell you... You can't do something. Not even me. All right?

Christopher: All right.

Christopher Gardner: You got a dream... You gotta protect it. People can't do somethin' themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it. If you want somethin', go get it. Period.

我的“自恋”路人皆知，“自恋”到连遮掩都懒得。解闷儿时要么照照镜子，要么便去一下自己，看看又有哪家知名艺术媒体抄袭了我的“美文”，小门户的网站若是抄了，还经常让我觉得面子上挂不住。其实我对所有转载我文章的人都心生疑虑，因为我的工作性质是把所有的狗屁艺术都要吹得天上有地上无，这实在有悖于“批评”的性质。

若是大牌，才不吝自己的东西有多少人用，才不会在乎那点小名，就像只有小明星才动不动澄清丑闻。我尽量识着大体，端着架子，可骨子里还是在乎自己的署名的。一次因为什么事想发脾气，便迁怒到一个博客头上，留言问他懂不懂规矩，不知道任何转载都要注明出处的吗？没想到人家在回复中连连道歉，倒是我觉得太把自己当根儿葱了，气儿立马泄了。

倒有些不打不相识的味道。从此我开始看他的博客，没想到今天发现了他转载的一篇好文章，作者段炼。我是不喜欢看艺术批评的，觉得艺术是关乎感觉的，不懂艺术的看了文章只有更糊涂。不过段炼的文章写得有趣，也许他在首段便一语中的：

“按照艺术理论界和史学界的一般定义，当代艺术产生于最近二十五年，并以当代话题为主旨。可是这样的定义有嫌宽泛，几乎今日的任何作品都可以称为当代艺术。有鉴于此，本文聚焦于一个具体方面，采用正话反说的修辞法，来质疑今日流行的时髦艺术，并用性与政治的媾合，来界定时髦艺术，说明时髦艺术并非当代艺术。之所以如此，是因为今日大红大紫的时髦艺术，往往披上当代艺术的外衣，以观念艺术为旗号，既在艺术圈内呼风唤雨，也在艺术圈外招摇撞骗，实则涂污了中国的当代艺术。”

即使不从私利考虑(同行是冤家，我是厌恶嫉妒那些垃圾能换来银子的“家”们的)，我也觉得他言之在理，他所说的当代艺术现象也是我和朋友们所不齿的。从我狭隘的爱国主义出发，我是不希望外国人认为中国当代艺术就这点儿起子，就像我憎恨许多人认为北京文化就是胡同文化一样，你的无知是次要的，我的脸面虚荣可紧要得很哪。

那个博客的最新文章又是我的文章，第一次，我希望他拿下来，因为和段炼的文章、至少和我看到的段炼的文章相比，我觉得自己被人寒碜了…

Looking at those beautiful colors, I have to, I must start painting. You have no idea how much I’m scared that I would screw up the color, since they have been in the corner for 2 years. But finally I’m going to use them, even if eventually it turns out I suck. Fine, then let's see how bad I will suck.

Me: When you send me the pictureee?

Snowball: Which one? You mean the one with three of us?

Me: Not exactly. It's me, you guys are just background.

The picture-Snowball, Liuhui and I ( Taken by Snowball's husband Aidan). Snowball said the Beijing trip in this summer was like a dream which everything didnt seem real to her.
