No, he's not dead! I had someone ask me that. The bus just showed up. He probably missed him because he was sitting down and FRICK bus drivers. They're so mean sometimes. Anyways back to some #mentalheathart ! In this one, I'm showing how I feel about my music. Honestly, music makes me feel alive.⁠ I feel like the mc in "The Giver" where he feels more emotion than everyone else. For me, only music really meets me at that intensity. Other people don't always express all that stuff. #showtunes specifically cover SO MUCH. At least, so much more than sex and romance. So the other day, I was feeling particularly drained and I was suggested some old show tunes I like, and it felt like meeting up with an old friend. Suffice it to say I cried some good tears...a lot, lol.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️⁠ ⬇️Comment below what you think!⬇️⁠ ⏩ share with your friends ⏩⁠ ➕ Follow me for daily art 😄 ➕⁠ 🔔 Turn on post notifications 🔔⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ @artiboi_navarro⁠ 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️⁠ Some Tags: 📸⁠ #musicals #mentalhealthcomic #webcomic #emotions #thegiver #emotional #spotify #bus #buscommuter #takingthebus #crying #slefcare #indulging #lonliness #burnout #stress #anxiety #hopelessness #fear #busy #alwaysbusy #drained (at Las Vegas, Nevada) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7rBxrchdwq/?igshid=16qcrykdwgcfe

Taking the Bus

Why does the Man in the Yellow Hat (MYH) ride the bus?

He has a car--I've seen it. He drives out to his country house in it.

He has a country house. He owns a bright yellow apartment building. Why does he not have a limousine on retainer, complete with an angry but deferential driver who bows and scrapes dutifully, but dreams of squandering his dead father's life insurance on a liquor store scam?

Perhaps he wishes to save the environment. Perhaps he likes to pretend to give a shit about the hoi polloi, to rub elbows with the less fortunate and share with them the savage joy of a monkey who ruins lives with the kind of reckless abandon normally reserved for Ponzi-schemers and East African dictators.

Perhaps.

But today, MYH was late for a very important presentation. He had scribbled some drawings, childish representations of pigs and horses and smiling snakes, of which he was proud and about which Curious George was...curious. Professor Wiseman wanted a distinguished colleague--from Paris--to see these drawings, and so she sent word to MYH to meet them at a swanky restaurant.

MYH had ten minutes--the length of an episode--to make it to this restaurant and show off his art.

This bitch decides to take the dadgum bus. Even better, he gives the route map to Curious George and trusts him to plot their journey.

MYH makes it onto the bus. Curious George does not. At the last second, he drops the map and it blows away, so he goes scampering after it.

Nine minutes until presentation. MYH does not stay on the bus. He does not ask the driver for route information. He panics and gets off, shouting for George.

He leaves his bullshit drawings on the bus and it drives away. Seven minutes.

Curious George catches up with the map. Some kid on a bicycle, who is inexplicably fine with a monkey clutching his head and screaming in his ear, takes him on a quest to find the bus, on which MYH most certainly is not.

It is at this point I meet the most put-upon and pathetic creature in George's universe, a man who did not expect his day to go this way, a man who is simply trying to make a living, a man who managed to live his entire life without tangling himself up with MYH. He is a taxi driver. Brown, because all taxi drivers are brown, but blessed with the kind of Brooklyn accent that dwells upon phrases like "Hey buddy" and "Listen, Mac" as if they were part of a rosary.

MYH gets in his cab. He demands that the taxi driver follow that bus, find a monkey on a bicycle, find his pictures, and get him to a specific downtown restaurant.

Wat. Hey buddy, five minutes.

Taxi driver is confused. "Where to, Mac?" did not produce the desired answer. Instead, taxi driver now has to listen to a diatribe about monkeys and bicycles from a guy that looks like a pencil.

He asks what we are all thinking, "Hey buddy, you want me to follow a bus? Why didn't you just ride the bus?"

MYH does not wish to give a coherent answer. Three minutes.

Cutscene to Professor Wiseman, sitting with distinguished guy from France in the restaurant. She remarks that MYH has NEVER been THIS LATE for ANYTHING before.

I now believe Professor Wiseman is not at the restaurant. Such an asinine claim could have only been made by a replicant of Professor Wiseman that was built that very morning and did not know what monkeys were.

One minute.

George finds the pictures. He gleefully brachiates through Central Park with the pictures clutched in his feet. He knows he will beat MYH to the restaurant, and he has a few minutes to kill, so he briefly drops down from the trees into a buggy pulled by two horses. The horses freak out and stampede away through the park. The man in charge of the buggy watches his livelihood thunder away, and no doubt wonders how long he will be in prison when the horses accidentally trample somebody.

George returns to the trees, unbeaten and unkilled. Zero minutes, time is up.

Guy from France says he cannot wait any longer, because he has a plane to catch. He leaves. He runs into Curious George outside on the sidewalk. Curious George shows him the pictures.

He loves them. He praises them effusively, especially the one of a spotted snake which is smiling as it contorts itself into the shape of a staircase. They are brilliant and inspired. Matisse should have chopped his hands off. And etc.

MYH comes running up. Taxi driver probably goes off to an AA meeting or something.

"Oh. So YOU'RE the artist who painted these wonderful pictures? Amazing. Stupendous. I absolutely need these pictures to be displayed in a children's hospital in Paris. Do you and your monkey want to come to Paris?"

Yes. Yes they do.

Had another fantastic day of adventuring, coffee, grumpy bus drivers, dancing, and yummy food with my fantastic friend Lucy from @rubicondance yesterday 😁 Me and The Lovely Lucy on the bus yesterday 😁 we had a bit of a challenge getting on our first bus (we get four; two there, two back!) because the driver told us the ramp was broken and then it took three tries and me being very stern and stubborn, and Lucy and two other people waiting for the bus, to get him to line his bus up properly with the curb so I could board the bus... when we arrived at our stop, another driver was waiting to take over and pulled the supposedly “broken” ramp out immediately 🙈😡 dude had obviously fibbed to try and discourage us from getting in the bus! Luckily he hadn’t taken my determination into account! Think Luce summed it up with what she said about the driver “no need for him to be such a dickhead” 😂! The challenges you face as a disabled person using public transport, eh 🤷🏻‍♀️?! (Btw, I tweeted Cardiff Buses on Twitter and complained!) #adventuring #takingthebus #thatsachallange #myfriendusawesome #ableismexists https://www.instagram.com/p/B3fZrqhhlQe/?igshid=1hdgcj773cka3

Cool thing about taking the bus is that you always see some weird stuff. But I learned a lot of stuff, so that's nice. What are your stories about busses? This is the day #49 of 365 days of doodles and the theme is "Taking the bus". --- #bus #busses #takingthebus #colorpencil #colorpencils #art #artonInstagram #artist #artists #instaartist #instaart #challenge #challenges #drawingchallenge #artchallenge #365daysofdoodles #doodle #doodling #doodles #sketch #sketching #sketches #sketchbook #drawing #drawings #draw

28 April 2016 was my trip in the rain and I mean rain people, it turned to snow later to Threave Castle. I was so proud of myself.  First I have to mention the great night sleep and delicious breakfast at my B&B The Douglas House B&B.  It is located in Castle Douglas.  I am embarrassed to say, that is is the first time I saw pressed coffee!!! Oh, they do NOT use non-dairy creamer in the UK.  I think I mentioned this before, but it’s a shocker for this American in Scotland!!  I have to give a shout out to my hostess Linda Marshall!  She accommodated me the night before when I came in so late, made sure I was good to go and in the morning, fed me like a long haul trucker!!! Thank you for a night of great sleep, great food, and wonderful kindness.  http://www.douglas-house.com/

Threave Castle was on my list of places to visit for the simple reason of the connection through my ancestry.  Little did I know when I jumped on that bus to get there that there was no bus to take me back to the bus stop, it was closed and it rained really hard!.  Never fear adventurers.  I was going to get my picture!  There were people inside working on the landscape (in the rain).  My hats off for that!  Anyhow they said I could go look, so off I went.  I got some pictures in, breathing in the clean Scottish air and smell of something else.. snow.  I was getting colder as I stood there and realized I should head back to that bus stop.  

By now, the rain was heavier and well after asking the landscaping people where the bus stop was, they all stopped and stared at me like I some dodo head.  Bus?  No more buses today.  OMG, all I could think was, this is going to be a long walk.  Then my garden angel, with shears in her hands, said in her very British accent, “I will take you to the bus stop”.  Her kindness overwhelmed me.  This is not the first time I had experienced this in my short time in Scotland and it would not be the last.

We got into her car, muddy shoes and boots and she drove me to the bus stop.  Ever so grateful, She waved it off and said good luck and goodbye.  I was lucky.  I also needed to get back to Dumfries to get my larger backpack, the one with all of my clothes!!.  I got on the bus and that is when the snow started. 

Needless to say, I was lucky and blessed by the Goddess.  She always looks after me.  I headed into Dumfries and that is when I went to the museum and did not make it to Sweetheart Abbey due to the weather.  Traveling on buses and trains sometimes makes it really hard to plan trips when the weather does not cooperate. 

I did my tourist thing, took a cab to Tommy and Grace’s and got my backpack and headed to Edinburgh.  I sort of jumped the gun with my stories and posted some stuff about Edinburgh.  I am new at this, so please… apologies… 🙂    

I really want to back to Castle Douglas and see all that I did not see as a first time traveler alone with a backpack.  Hopefully, that will be sooner than later!
