artists statement and my desire to live in romania

paid my fees a few weeks ago to CEC that's the romanian gov't bank and to la posta....trying to figure out some stuff about being 'legal' here. i seem to fall into the 'other purposes' category. the reason is that i'm an 'artist' and well this seems to be a general lack of understanding of exactly what that means. well i don't have some profound reason as to why i want to do this kind of work. in fact some times i don't even know why i'm compelled to do it. i was born with this desire. i actually hate talking about 'art' since i don't have some deep underlying statement like

'well i think that society needs to look at how deeply they're affected by the nuances and impact of the governments imposition into our lives. in space we are lost - we're just a bunch of particles floating in this universe. my work looks at life and abstracts forms that are well.....you know blah blah blah
bullshit :) .......evil laugh insert here HA HA HAHAHAH

instead it's something like 'well i think i just have to do it because - who gives a fuck.' that's my statement.

too much gets lost in trying to intellectualize it (see i'm not even sure if i can spell anymore - so why do i want to pretend)

the truth is i love it here and i can't afford to live in NY that's my second choice anyway. so that's my statement - hope they let me stay here.
