About Me

I am an artist, I am in love with life and all the experiences that it brings to me or shoves down my throat. I try to approach life through a state of non action; that is I try not to have any pre conception about things; in doing this, you contain immense power and enless possibility. let me explain: when you are born, you have endless possibilities, you have the possibility to grow up and be anyone! and to do anything!. but as you get older, society, religion, culture, physiology etc. begin molding you, your identity...who you are. where once you were an "uncarved stone" you now begin to be "carved out". By the time that you are an adult, those endless possibilities have evaporated and you are left with is your fully carved out role in life, which is made up of a set pattern of: what you do and how you do it and many times, you might not even know why you are doing it. The point at which you (everyone) were at your most powerful and purest state, was when you were "unmolded", "uncarved" when you really had the possibility of being anyone, doing anything. Once you make a decision and act, you instantly loose that power. there's nothing wrong with that of course, but many people don't realize the power that they hold within themselves every moment of everyday. so in order that I may be open to all of lifes many different experiences and to be as close as possible to that power and purity, I try to live my life "unmolded", "uncarved"

commentary on Heaven vs. Hell

"Heaven is totally overrated. it seems boring. Clouds, listening to people play the harp. It should be somewhere you can't wait to go, like a luxury hotel. Maybe blue skies and soft music were enough ...
