Don't Steal My Thunder


Chapter One:  I was born with it

So, yeah, I was born.  I've been born for twenty two years.  I'm sure you know if you have been following but who has the time.  I don't even have enough time to reflect.  Maybe I can find a few moments to retell you moments from my life.  I can't always hide behind these black shirts and black pants with black shoes.  It used to be hair .
Long brown curly hair would cover my face.  I had it long since the 6th grade. Not much upkeep, it would just form by itself.  It started because I wanted it.  I didn't really know if long hair was cool or not but by all means, it definitely was on me.  My hair didn't let it grow out into a bowl cut.  The curls would flow down my face onto my shoulders like a women's.  At work I would mistakenly be called a girl from customers because of it.  It was pretty cool.
It would grow and grow and I would hardly notice.  Teenagers spend all their time looking into mirrors to pop pimples and fix their split ends.  I didn't.  I had my own shield, a mask that served me many functions.  Kept the sunlight out of my eyes which helped me nap in class.  Long, thick hair to look through so I could cheat on chemistry tests. But the more I used it, the more it started to identify me.

T-Shirts

I did this one for my band/site. It came from a design I made in my notebook about a month ago. I've been thinking a lot about what Static Particles means since it's become more then just this blog. At first it was supposed to be a group of my friends, all writing and putting work up. Static Particles was derived as a term to explain us. Static being in place, set in and primarily finished. Particles is the idea that we are all just in our own atmospheres and tiny. But when particles relate they form a community. But then it just became me. It wasn't really a moniker but just a place for us particles to react to. Then I published a book under the site name. I view it now as a different state of being an artist. When writing I go under my actual name, Egan Maxwell Click. That is who I am. Static Particles is the particle I give to. It's a one spot shop for me, Egan. I do music underneath the name, writing. It's pretty much just my publisher of everything. And here is one I made for my buddy Dakota which moved to Martha's Vineyard and Danny is taking a trip out there. Here is there music http://mammothrecords.bandcamp.com/album/for-the-floor-of-your-car . The shirt says Twin Pipes and it's from a design I made on paper from about a year ago. Here is some Twin Pipes music https://soundcloud.com/halucigens/sets/twin-pipes-two-strangers
