Just Get It Over With

"Just Get It Over With" ©2008

This is actually a self-portrait in the non-metaphorical sense, because I was using a photo of myself for this one. Waiting, boredom, more waiting, more boredom...this is a universal problem. As for me I despise it, but I'll wait if I have to if it's for something important. But many times it's not. You could be in line at Disneyland (except you'd be sweating profusely in the hot sun), or you could be in a doctor's office for a checkup or on the freeway in gridlock. You could be in Sociology class, waiting for your (terrifying) turn to give your speech on small businesses in front of 40 other students. And you HATE public speaking! Hurry up and wait. Whatever it is, all you can do while waiting is think "will someone hurry up and JUST GET IT OVER WITH?!" 
Eventually, you'll get there. It just sometimes takes a while. Until you do, though - this painting may also be you.
