I went to the beach with my family for a few days over the past week. It was me, my sister and her husband, his parents, and my parents. So, that makes me the 7th wheel. I didn't like being the only one without a lover, and every cute girl on the beach had a boyfriend not too far from her side. Even if they were alone, I probably wouldn't have the nerve to go up to them them as a stranger and be like OKEY BE MINE FOR A FEW DAYS KAY?

So, on the 3rd/Last day on the beach, I decided to accept my forever-alone-ness and express it in my by-fay largest-scale work of art ever. I didn't measure this thing, but it's gotta be at least 30 feet wide by 40 feet long.

It took me a very long time to get the outline shape done. Once I got it done I was very satisfied with it, but by that time I was very tired and was sweating like crazy and feeling sick I was going to throw up, so I quickly went to the shower by the pool so I could cool off quickly and even take a few small sips of water from that shower so I wouldn't barf (which itself is nasty, I know xD). I had to do this twice before I finished. But the point is that I was so tired and sick-feeling that once I finished the outline, I couldn't focus on the face well enough to fine-tune it as well as I would have liked, and the result was a face that was twisted to the side. D: Oh well. It's good enough and I was happy to see it completed. I made it facing the condos so that everyone would see it when they'd look out towards the beach.

But enough talk for now. Here's my masterpiece! Pics were taken from my condo balcony on the 3rd floor (out of 5).

Yeah, i hate being fucking single. At the wedding i went to today, it was just a reminder of how alone i am. During the reception, they did the buquet throw with like four or five girls, but there were so few single guys ( me plus one other) that they just skipped the garder throw. That fucking sucked and just made me feel more pathetic. Normally it's supposed to be the guy who catches the garter dances with the girl who caught the bouquet, but i didn't get tht chance.a

EDIT: Wait, i only read the first paragraph about how it sucks being single/ Those pics are nice.

Yeah, that's another reason why weddings suck. I always hated going to weddings ever since I was a kid, and as an adult I've found that new reason to hate going to them. -__- It also sucks about the garter throwing getting axed. I could maybe understand it if there was just 1 guy there, but even still it's bullshit. At that point I start to think it's something personal, even if it probably isn't. Luckily there aren't any weddings on the horizon for me.

Did anyone ask you what you were drawing or make any kind of comment on it?

Rofl, actually yes. Well, my mom fuckin' asked me and I didn't tell her--told her to wait til I was done so she'd see--but I never fully explained what it was after I finished anyway. xP But she/family doesn't count. Sister and Bro-in-law asked too. I didn't tell them either, but they are familiar with the meme face.

Anyway, these 2 young foreign dudes (Aussie? Brit? can't tell cuz I confuse those accents) with matching tattoos above their left titties were staying in the condo directly below ours, and while I was setting up key points to dig holes while making the outline of the head (which took most of the time), I kept turning around and looking up at my balcony and then doing a 180 so I'd face my drawing and make sure I'm doing it so it directly faces the condo. The 2 guys were out on the balcony while I was doing this, and surely they thought I was looking up at them repeatedly. Some time later, the 2 guys came down to the beach again and asked me, "What are you making there, little man?" and I was thinking "lol wtf, 'little man'?! These guys can't be much older than me, and they're not really taller either, wtf?! xD!!" and then I briefly explained that it's a face from the internet called Forever Alone and that they can probably find it if they look it up.

Haha, my brother in law said that it'd be awesome if Google just so happened to be taking a satellite photo of the area at the time. It rained every single night, and while it withstood the first wave of rain like a fucking boss, when we woke up the next morning it was gone.

Well, I just looked now, and it's not there. haha, that shit would have been so mother fucking epic though.

I'm glad those Britralian guys asked about it, so I could go look up the meme info. You see, I'm old and I can't keep up with all of these new-fangled wrinkly faces that are being created all the time. I thought perhaps it was a stick man throwing a discus with a ball-and-chain attached to one foot (maybe to lament how your heart yearns to fly free, but is chained to the ball of loneliness? Hey, maybe I can start my own meme! But I digress ...).

It probably didn't help your cause to be seen talking to two shirtless men with matching tattoos ... sorry for your woes.

I saw this article and immediately thought of your art. Maybe this will solve your problems - grab a camera!

Hahahaha! Man, that is soooo fucked up. For anyone truly potentially forever-alone, doing something like this would be thefinal nail in the coffin. xD

Thank god i'm not that desperate yet.
