Tolstoy

"The aim of an artist is not to solve a problem irrefutably, but to make people love life in all its countless inexhaustible manifestations." -Leo Tolstoy

Scary

Existence is scary. Yet we still live it, breathe it and manifest it daily.

We Need Love

"We need love, we need beauty, and we need at least passing acquaintance with eternity. To the soul these are absolutes, and yet in modern life these three graces of life are values largely neglected. We reduce love to interpersonal relationship and then treat relationship as an emotional problem... The soul longs for love that is unconditional, unending and without tangible object." -Thomas Moore

Wasteland of a Wasteland

In this barren wasteland of a
Wasteland
We profit from
Nothing
Tangible
In this wasteland
We make toys from plastic moldings of
Maniacal dictators' wings
And our minds
Oh our precious, beautiful minds
Are subjected to the most rancid
Diatribes & fluctuations
To ever be produced by
Western civility
Oh it all seems unbearable
At times
Yet we trudge onward
In this barren wasteland of
A
Wasteland
Things could be better
Things shall be better
Things must be better
Tomorrow
Than
Today
But tomorrow mustn't be
The main objective
Lives cannot be transmuted
Overnight
One generation must not hope to
Survive
And enjoy the spoils of another
Generation
Until
The last grain of sand has been filtered
And turned into
Fertile
Fecund
Ground
......
In this wasteland we do live, laugh, love
And play
In this wasteland we must not forget
Or stray
....
Beauty is within
All is
Within

Pick

  When one picks one's nose it is often best to do so in the company of strangers. Such people usually require a certain level of escapism in their daily lives. So, why not give them what they need!

  Go on and ram your finger in that sniffer of yours. If you favor the right nostril then pick the right nostril. If you favor the left nostril then pick the left nostril. Dig really deep in there.

  I used to be able to pick my nose and eat my own boogers. They did not taste gross or disgusting. They didn't taste like much of anything. Some of my 8th grade classmates would practically bribe me to eat them.

  They would cheer me on and then make gagging sounds as if it was the grossest thing they had ever seen. They all led such sheltered lives. Locked up in their makeshift ivory towers.

  I learned a valuable lesson during my nose picking days. I learned that in order to get the biggest reaction from people.... one must pick one's nose like there's no tomorrow.

Life Is

One of my many sketches.

We Live In Very Exciting Times

We live in very exciting times! We can send information around the world in the blink of an eye. NASA has confirmed that Mars did indeed once have a habitable environment. A cure for cancer and a cure for HIV are currently being tested and developed. Chemtrails are trying really hard to prevent our planet from evolving but are ultimately failing. The looming deficit appears to have no end in sight but may just result in a major shift of our political landscape. World wide protests are taking place in an effort to bring about a greater awareness of the financial imbalance that has plagued the country for far too long. December 21, 2012 came and went without so much as a whimper (just like the Mayans predicted; contrary to popular belief). Massive amounts of new energies are shooting out from the center of the galaxy and are enveloping everything and everyone in its warmth.

But above all else, mankind is on the verge of reclaiming and embracing our humanity. Never before has such a monumental event taken place on such a massive scale! I for one am very grateful to be alive during such an important period of our history and evolution. We should all be grateful for there's no telling when another opportunity like this will present itself.
