Omagus - Glad to meet another Pleasure-Seeking-Missile. The ultimate contradiction to war. To escape from fears of recent events I've also returned to painting. The smell of oils reminds me that creativity is tangible and concentrating on colors and combinations keep nervous energy at bay. There was a time I thought painting was better than sex, drugs and rock and roll. Now I combine the 4 and call it Performance Art. Seek Pleasure and Art, my friend. I can't remember who said it but, "Free your mind... and the rest will follow". No two humans art form is the same. Yours might be nuclear physics or cyber science or brain surgery (you all seem enormously intelligent - I'm humbled in this company). Get out there and carve up some brain cells - slice the medula oblongata (?) and laugh from the depths of your belly. As for religion; the only thing I've ever believed in long enough that I would have made a bumper sticker for my car is that REAL NEEDS ONLY GET MET IN THE REAL WORLD. If your real need is to breath, sleep, pay the rent, eat veggie cheeseburgers and drink expensive french vino while reading 15th century poetry then you have come to the same spiritual awakening as moi. What'll it be? |
