My friend, facebook

This is a test, touching on a bit of this and a bit of that that I don’t know, of all the things I should know, or could know, or are knowable. Every day I draw, do I know why, what do I know about my drawings, how can anybody like them, what do they know about drawing, what do I know about me? I do two drawings one day, seven another, and I put them someplace, in plastic, in a drawer, on facebook, in an e-mail, I don’t know if they’re good and don't even know how much I like them. I waver between being certain and being stupid. A few people, not many, buy one, or another, not many. I don’t know how smart the drawings are, or if they're art, art is a funny word, whether they make people laugh, or disgust them, or find them pathetic. There are people, my so-called friends, on facebook, who say they “like” them, and some write, “really like!” in the comments box, and I wait for those, I try to find something in those two words and it occupies me for a moment, but not much differently than drinking a glass of water slowly. There are thousands of these little tests that I put on my timeline, and for a few the comments in the comments box are abundant and Why is something else I don't know; I thought one would give pleasure but ah no it's another and the one I think I like no one else seems to notice. This morning’s drawing, cartoon-y and sloppy, and I don't think I like it, I don't think it's good, I don't think it's art, is of a long girl with no clothes but not grossly naughty standing like a traffic guard at a crossroads, it's called Proceed With Caution, and facebook, my friend in judgment, refuses it; each time I try to post it, an error message in red appears in the box when the drawing should resolve like a reverse image of Alka-Seltzer in water: Error. A kind of comment from my friend, facebook, who seems to know something that I don’t, about drawing, about art, about resolving images, about what my friends need to see. facebook knows something I don't, no surprise there. But is my own blog a friend, a critic, a judge, a resolver? This is the test.
