uh actually spent an extra day in Amsterdam and I was trying to be mature
enough to not go down
sorry I'm gonna move this fucking thing I was trying to be mature enough not to
go down to
the red light district you know right across the street where I was staying
from was the
Vincent van Gogh museum so I'm like all right I'm gonna give a museum another
chance because
I get anxiety when I go into museums because I go in there and it's all this
smart shit in there
and I could give a fuck after the first exhibit like I literally just want to
run through the place and
get out of there and um but I went to the Vincent van Gogh one and I absolutely
loved it I loved it
and for the first time I think actually appreciated art and I and I hate to say
this I think half of
the reason was I went by myself there was nobody else there so I didn't have to
I'm always like
20 miles ahead of anybody who I go to a museum with you know those fucking
people you go to a
museum with and they actually get the fucking the headphones and the recorder
and they just go
from exhibit to fucking exhibit they got to watch every goddamn film and I I
don't I should respect
people like that but I don't I hate them so anyways I went to the Vincent van
Gogh museum it's insane
they just have his paintings hanging on the fucking wall
that just sound dumb I don't know it was always a zillion miles away to me
right so I'm looking at
him and as amazing as they were I was still in and out of there in 35 minutes
and that includes going to
the gift shop I walked in and the first thing I saw was he drew a picture of
like he was taking this art
class and he had to drop like a picture of like the skeleton or something like
that a painting
draw a picture paint the fucking human skeleton so he painted it and in the end
he put a cigarette in
its mouth as like a fuck you to his teacher so immediately I like this guy I
like this guy he's not some goody
two shoes right you forget you saying his homework he's not that guy right he's
the guy who's gonna have
the fake ID and go get you some booze in the fucking late 1880s so I looked at
all of his shit and I
really liked it there you go that's as deep as I can say I didn't really like
his chalk period he's
painting with chalk or whatever the black and white shit I wasn't into but the
thick paint with the lines I
was into that it was great the further you step back the more it looked like
what the fuck he was
painting then when you got up close look like a bunch of lines how do you do
that you know he
can't stand 40 yards away with a long paintbrush they didn't have that
technology back in the 1880s
they didn't don't even tell me they did you know they look closely at his paint
he had a bunch of
sand and leaves in it guy was out of his mind the only thing I don't like is uh
he cut his ear off I
don't like that part you know it's a dumb thing to cut your ear off for
although some people would
say love is the most important thing in life but you know what it's not worth
yeah I don't know
turning yourself into Marvin Nash you're like Mr. Blonde and Marvin Nash all at
the same time
Jesus Christ it's fucking horrific
