Miscellaneouse ramblings


in a state of influence from a liquid we created (smirnoff ice) to let go of the ego mind or better yet to release us from it.

My oldest duaghter told me the other day that she was told by some other art students that you are not an artist unless you do drugs. This got me pretty upset, even though I knew what they were trying to say I didn't like the message. I did my fare amount of substances when I was younger. I did some really intense writing during these episodes. When I woudl review my writing I was impressed by the honesty and lack of inhibition. So I would understand why someone would make a statement like "you're not an artist unless you do drugs". But... you don't need to do drugs to be an artists. the beautiful thing about being an artist is that an artists communicates from a different perspective and medium. Some are better when they do drugs but many are without doing drugs. I am not saying that you need to or not need to do drugs, Even though I do not like them I think that is an individual preference. WHat I'm saying is that drugs do not the artist make. The artist is you whether you do drugs or not. The beauty that is us through our expression is what makes us artists. Like anything else, some of us are better than others but that doesn't diminish our own ability to express what we feel. It just means that those who can dothis more easily are called artist. Just like those who can run faster are called athletes. Everyone can run, just some people can run faster and farther.

any who.. those are my miscellaneouse ramblings for the day
