ON CREATIVITY

After finding out that I was an artist, a chiropractor told me that I needed a neck "adjustment" because I have a creative juice...an actual fluid that travels from my brain to my fingertips and if the neck is misaligned then I can't make art. I told him to get his hands off of me, left the office, and never went to another chiropractor.
^^B1^^

For an artist or writer being motived by money is the kiss of death. Trust me on that one. 
^^B2^^

I try to be as creative as possible when penning this blog.

But the well of ideas is unfortunately not bottomless.
^^B3^^

That is much easier said than done. 
^^B4^^

Advice comes in all shapes and colors...


I have no idea what that means.

THINGS THAT MAKE ME SAD

 What must future generations think of our tolerance of people who allow curable diseases to return just because they are too stupid to understand science?

Let's not forget the return of coat hangers.

^^C1^^

I find the remaining rear guard of racism so depressing.  And although I'm sure there are some, I've never met a highly educated racist and could never explain how an unemployed mechanic could feel superior to anybody.
^^C2^^

DEPRESSION

The notion that life is not worth living is so alien to me that I know I will never understand the taking of one's life.

You can't throw a dead cat without hitting bits of simplistic advice on a very complicated problem.

And...

I offer no advice here other than how I deal with life. I hope it helps.

 I compare myself to no one. I like to think it's other people who compare their lives to mine.

I have observed that most of the young people I know seem to believe that they are SUPPOSED to be miserable.

Most of those people would nod understandingly at this...

^^C3^^

This feeling of inevitable misery leads many young people to drugs in excess.


Of all the drugs, I think alcohol is the worse.

But that doesn't mean it's permissible to lie about other drugs.

^^C4^^

So many problems arise from love - or more specifically lack thereof. And there is no shortage of advice to be found.

It is my opinion that too many people combine love and sex as if they are conjoined twins.

And even finding a mate will no insure happiness, especially if you find the wrongmate.


My go-to piece of advice to love seekers is to simply lower your standards.


That sounds so simple but the number of women looking for a man and men looking for a woman is about even.

But goddamnit, they don't all look like pornstars.
^^C5^^

Employment is a necessary evil.
 Oh, you don't HAVE to work, but sleeping on the street has a plethora of problems.

Taking jobs that you feel over-qualified for is also a bummer.


But unless you are prepared to work your ass off, you are doomed to disappointment.

Degrees really do open a lot of doors.

THE ULTAMENT EVIL
The murder of children


I don't have all the answers, but taking away all my guns is not it.
Mr. Rogers told us when bad things happen to look for the good people. Kendrick Castillo was the ultimate good guy.
Kendrick Castillo at his graduation this week.

This is a picture of him with his beloved Jeep.

So this is what his funeral looked like.

 Miles and miles of Jeeps.

The perfect segue to the next section.

Me: You're not gonna believe this.

ON VIOLENCE

Around the world, violence is celebrated in books and movies and it has been for thousands of years.

I do the same with humor. I was going to put this in a humor section because...well, I thought it funny.

^^D1^^

But the vast majority of violence is impulsive with the inevitable results...

Did he really think that the two security guards were just going to stand there while he kicks their ass?
^^D2^^


So very, very sad.
^^D3^^

During war, we ask otherwise normal young men and women to do things they would never consider doing under normal circumstances.

 And it takes a heavy toll.

There were a dozen similar responses to the survey. And I find our government's refusal to take responsibility damning.

I got nothing against fancy hair...

But you need to have discretionary income for that do and not the fucking rent money. And don't think that do will overcome your awful personality.

Those are very similar to the screws on the nuclear weapons made by Huges Aircraft.

That is so hard to understand when you see this attentiveness...
