I WANT TO LIVE IN
A SILVER WRAPPER.
I WILL SEE
WHOOPING ROCKS FLY
I WILL ICE ON MY BLACK SIDE
AND STEAM ON MY OTHER
WHEN I FLOAT BY SUNS.
I WANT TO LICK FOOD
FROM THE CEILING.
I AM AFRAID TO STAY
ON THE EARTH.
FATHER HAS CARRIED ME
THIS FAR ONLY TO HAVE ME
BURN AT THE EDGE OF SPACE.
FACTS STAY IN YOUR MIND
UNTIL THEY RUIN IT.
THE TRUTH IS PEOPLE ARE
PUSHED AROUND BY TWO
MEN WHO MOVE ALL THE
BODIES ON EARTH INTO
PATTERNS THAT PLEASE
THEM. THE PATTERNS SPELL
OH NO NO NO
BUT IT DOES NO GOOD
TO WRITE SYMBOLS.
YOU HAVE TO DO THE
RIGHT ACTS WITH YOUR
BODY. I SEE SPACE AND IT
LOOKS LIKE NOTHING AND
I WANT IT AROUND ME.

Outsider Art
Deb told me there was an "outsider art" museum in baltimore. sure enough the American Visionary Museum, Baltimore, MD. I just like looking at pictures. outsider art is created outside the boundaries of official culture. "outsider art" was originally art by psychotic individuals who existed almost completely outside culture and society.

8mm film
One of my favorite compliments ever given to me was about a photography project, they said it made them feel nostalgic for things they had never seen and times they had never known. now it pops into my head when i see others' art. If you want to know where your heart is... look where your mind goes when it wanders. 8mm film is really beautiful.

Dolla Lama
OUR INTENTION SHOULD NOT BE SPOILED BY THE EIGHT WORLDLY PREOCCUPATIONS: GAIN OR LOSS, PLEASURE OR PAIN, PRAISE OR CRITICISM, AND FAME AND INFAMY.
THE MAIN CAUSE OF DEPRESSION IS NOT A LACK OF MATERIAL NECESSITIES BUT A DEPREVATION OF THE AFFECTION OF OTHERS.
RATHER THAN BEING UNHAPPY AND H8FUL, WE SHOULD REJOICE IN THE SUCCESS OF OTHERS.
IT MAY SURPRISE YOU, PERHAPS, BUT I AM NOT STRICTLY OPPOSED TO THE SPECTACLE OF VIOLENCE AND CRIME. IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE LESSONS YOU DRAW FROM IT.
