Why is it that comic book and graphic novel characters never age, and the writers appear to age faster than an average human?

// We are not beggars//

We are not beggars, but survivalists.

We are not thieves, but modern archaeologists.

We are not whores, but merely lovers who continue to seek out the many ways of love.

We are not queer for strangeness at the very center of subjectivity. 

We are not criminals, but merely those who challenge what life’s rules are.

We are not poets, but simply historians who put an elegant spin on the record book of life.

So long as we continue to bicker back and forth about outdated ideas and concepts such as “liberal” or “conservative” we continue to forget the most important aspects to life.  Freedom is about a life being lived, not a life without cost.  If the only thing that we do is humans is to argue our political values we are as good as dead anyways   - as we adhere to those in power.  You vote for a politician, not an ideal.  Much like graduating with a degree the work ahead is after you graduate rather than the election/ or fulfillment of classes.  This person without public opinion is suppose to represent those in their area.  The party helps them get elected, the people are suppose to enforce the need. 

The problems that we face are not what we have achieved, but rather what we choose to ignore.  We are human, all of us are (obviously not directly) brothers and sisters (and even some sister/brothers, and brother/sisters).  We act as if one will be our salvation (or demise), we are all the answer to our salvation and could be the answer to our destruction.  We give words of love, yet wage war on those who do not agree.  We believe in gods that tell us to love, yet we so frequently endorse hate.  We tell others that we think independently, but act very co dependently. If you want something, become it - if you despise something stop doing it.  Anything done with true conviction will go noticed.  The problem is we know or think we know the examples in front of us as fraud.  Do not be worried about them, be genuine and true to yourself, your culture, your family, and your brothers and sisters.  

“You ___________ are ruining the country.”  We have an amazing country filled with artists, writers, philosophers, industrialists, engineers, and workers of all sort.  We have representatives of most of the worlds cultures.  We have all of the resources that we should need to create trends for the rest of the world - yet we are burning out like the prepubescent country that we are.  

News flash, Rome fell.  A great band once said “We’re gonna die from our arrogance.”  This will remain true if we do not genuinely appreciate each other.  

Please keep in mind that this comes from a person who loves everyone of you and your unique senses.  Keep creating, keep building, keep inventing, keep writing.  

Two songs to listen to today - Bad Religion “We’re only gonna die from our own arrogance.”

Stevie Wonder “Higher Ground”.

(Side side note: these songs have both been covered by multiple people.  Although the covers are good listen to the original.) 

// Astral beings should not have to beg…//

Please dear, don’t say those words again.  I know that you meant to reconcile with the voices in your head.  We all watch as the seas turn red and you slowly wash away your sins.  ”We are after all only human” is quite possibly the most degrading statement in the world.  There is a small heir of divinity in the way that we become human in the first place.  

Please dear, do not give me an empty stare as if to say that we do not exist.  Existence is the only true thing we have.  Parallel universes are fractured every single time that you deny that you resort to oblivion as your only resource.  You carry your heart so haphazardly on your sleeve it is truly no wonder that you find yourself in so much pain to disappear.  

Please dear can we just for once stay out of your head, and into the world for an evening.

From star to star is the distance between me and you.  We admire at a distance and ponder what it is that each other is really saying.  We scream as the frequencies, vibrations and characters launch only to vary in speed as celestial bodies intercept them.  I know that it will eventually reach you, so for now, I wait.

// A quick question//

If the universe is in fact finite as recent research suggests - Does that place us closer to being gods or further from it?

Posing and posting all seem the same to me.  We want to look genuine at ever moment.  We want to seem open to thoughts, ideas, and experiences - all the while secretly admiring our own words and hoping that someone somewhere resonates with these writings, musings.  We have a secret, and it is that we are nationalistically un-narcissistic.  Irony is our best friend, and worst enemy - yet we continue to spew out words of delight in pain.  The human condition are the only conditions we write about.   

When you watch the frail winds of change tied to a hospital bed, you realize you are equal parts frightened by the unknown and equal parts curiously excited for the ripple effect of the transformation from skin cells to electric charges and pulses randomly floating through the atmosphere.  As you know life is but a moment, but the moment is all that matters. 

Does anyone else read the last few pages of a book first to see if the ending is compelling enough to read the beginning?

// Fuckit list.//

Okay so for years I have grown tired of hearing about and reading others bucket lists (sorry if you enjoy the idea).  Two old guys go on an adventure for a good movie, and thus the idea spreads.  The list is good - I have always loved lists - but the monotonous statements of “I want to eat shellfish fresh from the coast of Australia” seems a bit passe.  After all most of those things are always on a list we could play the 6 degrees game and link all of the lists together.  So my proposal is that we re-visit the concept with the Fuckit List.

The rules of the Fuckit List are simple - they are things that we wish we could do or say that would change our life in it’s entirety.  It has to be grandstanding enormous - as our normal life would not be the same if we attempted to even come close to accomplishing it.  

“Why the Fuckit list” - Because you would give up everything in your life to make this happen.  It would have to be a challenge - and nearly impossible (but still semi-attainable).  It would fundamentally alter who you are and what you offer your surroundings.  

My list - to give up the day to day workings of being an earner to be a full time artist (writing, music, drawing, sculpting, all of it).  

What is on your list? or are you already there?

If you read this send me feedback of sorts, or spread the idea.
