So still trying to figure out exactly when and how I want to continue updating this website is slowly working. As in the previous blog I have decided to post on Mondays and Thursdays. These will also be the days that Special editions will be released. As for everything else it is as good as can be. I can’t say getting older is ever easy though. This week I was notified that another friend has passed and I’ve realized that it is what it is. Out of my control. It’s Life. The more you know. The more you lose. I guess it will be good to celebrate their life and just say, “Fuck It. Cheers.” I never have thought so much about not thinking until this year. At one point and time I think I’d probably decide to give myself a liquid lobotomy yet that is another thing I’ve refrained from doing. It sees to always be my problem with the world. Anytime something is in fashion or mainstream I just want to do the opposite. People are out of work and drinking. Well I want to be working and not drinking. I have always been against the grain. Though this time around I’m coming in wiser with sanded edges to this old pice of oak. So as I’ve been thinking about not thinking. Which I know is an oxymoron within itself. I’ve spent awhile putting myself on autopilot. At least that is what I’m trying to do. Explore within my studio and create. It is my job. It’s the only place I can happy accidents and total control of at least the world I create. It’s all anyone truly wants anyway. A place to call their own. It’s an act to be emperor or God. Control. That’s all we want out of life.

Dig It or Don’t
.
Sitting here having a sip of coffee on this Friday, it's actually a little past noon. My day has started off a little slower than usual but that's okay I realize there is no rush or race that we are truly in. Technically I can’t be late to a world that I create. It's strange when it seems more appealing stepping out of the fast lane. Especially when you are use to going, going, going. Once you do it’s quite amazing. You actually become a little more aware and life becomes a little more enjoyable. We all seem to have our own garden’s to dig yet never take time to plant the seed nor to nature the garden long enough to reap its benefits. It’s this lack of tending to our own garden’s that make’s it seem stressful dealing with one just as our personal life experiences good or bad. I guess that is why I have looked inward to see better looking outward. I have a lot of visions that I see as successful even if they are not considered amazing to anyone but myself. That though is a great life to me.Especially as this year seems to make us more aware even if to most it just for the moment. It is the weird way of wisdom that comes with these thoughts of looking back to move forward sometimes yet being happy with the perspective at your current present time. We are never going to be happy and I still find it relatively strange that we even find it controllable. One thing is for sure life is better strolling through it from time to time looking at we have and can attain with just patience and forgiveness. You might not always be able to attend to the garden however that doesn’t mean you should just neglect it. Always plant seeds, water and be constant with a schedule and your garden will grow…

Back to sound like Joe Dirt I suppose.

That however is a great philosophy and metaphor for life.
.
Life’s a garden. Dig it.

Have an awesome Friday and also remember to sometime’s just say, “Fuck it.”

Sincerely,
Me
