What is a blog what would it be by another name? It has a daydreamy aspect like a diary that isn't private writ large.
We are a culture that feeds on secrets. Not just information but rather raw data unexamined by one one even the writer.
We love nothing so much as to jump to conclusions. To think the worst is the best the most chic the most neonihilistic edge.
I always resisted a diary form but ultimately some of my notebooks have representational resemblance to events in my
life or the life I thought I lived. (Antiintellectualism is home cooking America) we are not a nation of great intellects as in
the 18th century. Complicated answers just don't have the power of good slogans and TAX Chants . No government supports
the arts as poorly as the USA. The French the Dutch give a proper life to an artist, here we are paupers and a few artists be-
come rich too, like rich people prefer to buy art from other rich people and rich artists.
Of course people say I'm a person of a left leaning type. anti-war, free-speech and make the this a preface to my work.
Art is political by it's very nature, it's a choice of work that for most people was child's play, crayolas and Mother's day Cards.
Art needs to be there for everyone as music is. For me as a child art in the schools alowed me to think about being an artist early
on, the public schools must get back to seeing art and music as central activities of humankind. I was lucky to find opportunities
in the arts . Sure I'm very stubborn but I know I've done the best I could given at times very difficult circumstances.

white light would wash out the dream. They were nuke blast dreams based on being hit close and you likely are vaporised.
The bright light was the key signifier of thermonuclear explosion. even now when I have of of these flash dreams it's the
bright white light that scares you because that's you burnt. When I lost my mind it took a while to comprehend the loss as if
my new less insane mind thinks it's got everything in order. But in truth order is very tenative as is everything worth doing on
this plane (carbon carbon) - we pass this way As you wander through life brother whatever be your goal keep your eyes
upon the donut and not upon the hole.
