About me: I do not make art to make money, I make money to make art.
I will make you have nightmares and wet the bed, be warned.
If you could not remember anything beyond the time you woke up this morning, would there be such thing as time? Well, how could you tell what a "past" is if you would just forget everything you do the next day? You would have nothing to compare to.
Some people ask me if I believe in an after life, of course I do. They ask me how do I put any fact in it, I say well first off it's not based on fact, it is found only in faith, but to play the game of fact I say to you this.
Before you were born, there was eternity. Right now, we're all at the zero mark. Before us, was an infinite time, and ahead of us is now an infinite time. So before we were born, there was nothing, we had no existence. After we're born, after that zero mark, that's when we exist into something. It's kinda like this; before zero, you have -1 to infinity. After zero, you have +1 to infinity. So if before the "zero mark" when we were born, we did not exist, then counting forward we would have to always exist in some way to balance it out. What does this mean? It means don't be depressed, there's more to your life than being a zero.
I was reading an .. forum where one kid was saying how he wished the US government and all government of the world was Anarchy. He went on and on, and used crazy vocabulary words and other big political words like; "extremists" "facism" "left winged fundamentalist christian white conservator beaurocrats", it was very educating yes. But I had to reply to him and cut him off his ambitious rant of desiring anarchy as the form of government even though he thought it would be cool. I said; well, I once read a story, a true story mind you, er well.. I lied.. I was told a true story by a friend of mine who use to live in Haiti. He told me one day in the middle of the street, where there was much anarchy mind you, a police officer was standing at the corner of an intersection. A car pulled up to this police officer and a man stepped out of the vehicle. The man stood up to the police officer and in the course of 2 seconds pulled out a shotgun and blew the head off the police officer. The man then sat back down in the car, and drove away. The point is, the police officer did not find anarchy to be that cool.
I don't like to get religious, it's too personal, unless people ask me of course. I'm not religious though, I'm spiritual and have faith, but I do not have a self-foundation in an organized "church". To me, people keep fighting over who's path is right, when to me all paths lead to the same place. I have read the bible, I also have read the Koran, many fortune cookies and several writings on buddhism and other spiritual beliefs and guides, wicca is neat stuff too, lots of black . I tell ya one thing though, people today are scard to death fo anything to do with anything religious. You mention it and everyone gets uncomfortable, all like; "ok ok.. lets talk about something more appropriate"... as if you're talking about eating mice droppings out of a dead baby's skull.
I think the moment you start to care about a woman, is the moment you lose her sometimes. It's why so many good looking/nice girls are with assholes. Those guys aren't really assholes, they just have to be that way to stay with the girl. They want to kiss and be all cuddly and fruity soooo bad, but they can't. The moment they do, they lose you. But that was when I was 19, right now I'm 25 and... I just like being a jerk for the hell of it.
The biggest insult sometimes is the truth.
You love the same person your entire life I think. It's like energy, it's never destroyed or gone, it just changes form. I remember break ups, you feel like absolute shit, but then you meet someone else... what you love, what attracts you, what you seek in someone comes back to you, just in a different form, sometimes what speeds the process up is a lot of drinking. You can break up with a girl one night, then have a few shots of gummy berry juice (know what I mean?) few hours later you go back up to the same girl, she looks entirely different and BOOM! She's changed form that fast!
If you ever want to know a lot of women, don't ever be an artist. I have found you get absolutely no benefits from it in the woman department. Musicians on the other hand get it all. If you're in a band you could be the ugliest mofo on earth, but because you are on stage, you are going to get women. It's that the "image" is higher. An artist is usually in his room/studio, doodling, painting, etc. or disguising it as playing video games with his .. friends... it's very secluded and independent at times, so the image value is very low. Musicians... ahh.. put on a show for about 50-100 people, all eyes are on you. Your image value has increased a lot since the parking lot. So despite the fact a beautiful girl is sitting next to an artist that paid for her meal and drove her there and is cracking jokes left and right, she is still going to go up to one of the musicians after the show and get her boob signed by one of them. All because of higher image. It's like celebs... Girls think celebrities are hot because of their high image value. It's the fact they are who they are. Men on the other hand will download hundreds and hundreds of images of no-name model girls or even amateur girls, a woman will have ones of celebs. I guarantee if tomorrow I made my own film about being an artist/comedian/roman god that got put out in theaters, I would have chicks all over me despite the fact the movie was 100% about who I already am. My image went up. I think I'm gonna make an .. image scoring site... we have credit reports, we should be able to get image reports too.
Know what would be the best twist to human history? (take this openly please you jerkoff sensitivo) if Jesus Christ returned as a woman. I think that would be like the Empire Strikes Back of human history, know what I mean? The guy can come back as anything he wants, how would the world accept a female messiah? Same for Muhhamud! Buddha couldn't come back as a female though, us men would be such jerks to a fat woman buddha, we'd just know her as the fat friend of Jesus and Muhhamud.
Somewhere out there, there has to be just one dude or woman with superhero powers. Billions and billions of people and not one of us can manage jumping higher than 10 feet? Running really fast? Using the force? We need to start trying harder guys.
Funny how most often the women who use men for supply of illicit and non-illicit drugs are the ones who also complain how men just want to use them for sex.
No matter what someone says, no matter how hot she is (well, maybe do it for a week), never change who you are. Everyone is too copy and paste, everyone is the same; "OMG I LOVE DANE COOK!!" (nothing against Dane Cook). It's all easy to be like that. Anyone can float down a river, but when you start paddling up stream on your own, you find better salmon.
So I guess it begins here? No way of stopping it. I think I finally "broke", I mean I hope I did. The creative juices are flowing, just hope I don't have a stroke. The machine of imagination oooh that sounds so damn 3rd grade orientation doesn't it lol. I wrote this thing around midnight. It seems to be when I leave the stress of the world behind, where all the crap in the world ends, and the machine begins. It will start pouring out slowly, and it always begins, never ends, and the time that it begins is always here..... at midnight.
Who I'd like to meet: I'd like to meet Anna Falchi, Natalie Portman, Jesus and Batman.
