"The Fight"

To enure all that life throws at us is an art in itself...
To go the distance with ones head still held high....
Focus, guts,love,determination,and a one track mind where the word "NO" is NEVER uttered is what it takes....
And when the punches roll in we take em with pride, for with every punch we learn how to dodge the next a little better...
while we move one step closer.... to winning..." The fight".

ALL THAT MATTERS.

With every passing day,hour,minute.... I learn more and more about what this journey is all about....
Life.... with its many twists and turns sometimes can be a rollercoaster.... sometimes your way up there .... sometimes your sitting at the gate waiting for the fun to begin.... sometimes it just makes you sick.... but all in all its a ride :) a ride that we never forget...
Sometimes we are just moving too fast in our own directions that we lose sight of just where we are going .... and why....
With every passing day,hour,and minute I learn so much more about this journey... and that TRUTH to ones self and the love we share is.... ALL THAT MATTERS :)

The morning after...

After a long night of painting in the studio.... I put down my weapons of art and creation and take one last look at my canvas victim laying on the floor bleeding in technicolor:)
The once stark white canvas now ooozing with new found life that I have pumped into its soul like a medic on the scene of a car crash on a hot summer night....
In a haze of creative smoke I wander above ground .... leaving my latest victim to dry alone in the midnight hours...
Only to return...... The morning after :)

Defined

What defines us as human beings......   This is a question that has been on my mind lately
and i thought about it really hard for the past 6 months and often struggled with my conclusion.
I often had the tendencies to compare myself to others around me, comparing many things.... But the one thing That i realized was driving me mad was the comparison of salaries.
When i spend time away from this rat race on the island of eleuthera in the Bahamas it often takes me a few days to actually decompress and start purging my mind body and soul of the stress's of everyday life...
to become one with myself!
computers ,cell phones, the media, magazines, designer clothes, fancy cars,big homes, big job, is this what defines us????????? wtf!!!!
When you go to a party, and meet people... the first thing they ask is..... so .... what do u do????   I reply...
what do i do or where do i work????    who we are IS NOT where we work!!!!  
I am an artist and a well... EXPLORER OF MY MIND BODY AND SOUL..... and not in this kind of "stereotypic" stoner image u probably have programed into ur minds.... But a new breed of thinker.... the new age of the thought process, where the truth within is worn like a badge of honor!
artists of all types have always been stereo typed like african americans are stereo typed to be "the ones" committing all the crime... (so not true)   artists are stereo typed into this loser and or un ambitious human being who dreams their way through life.... (also not true)
Keeping up with the Jones's is not a life i will pursue....and with that i ask Who are the Jones's and why would i want to follow the patterns of a family that only dwells in the minds of the close minded< i choose to be the water in the ocean instead of being part of the ICE CUBE TRAY.
DONT COMPARE YOUR INSIDES TO OTHER PEOPLES OUTSIDES!!!!
This is a thought from an artistic junkie.....
