re: artistic ability:

any person who knows how to write with their hands legibly can learn how to draw what they see in front of them realistically.

modern art usurped the previous school of art, that essentially trained people how to draw with realism. Absinthe popularity in europe resulted in impressionism, pointilism, and so on. political art by Picasso and so on made a move against religion and government, abstraction followed.

but you?

you can learn how to draw a sketch of the random junk on your desk where it's in proportion.

it just requires proper education. it's not like artistic ability is a magical gift from some greek muse. it's like music, wtf....

reminds me of the media.

That's precisely what makes humans so complex and bat shit difficult to understand, no matter how many tests and theories we formulate from social and psych evaluations/observations. Deep down we've all got that...innate nature to be monsters or saints, some of us playing both sides simultaneously, and it may either be activated via environmental structures or lack thereof.

Lately I feel like that line between good and evil has become so skewed, that these once polar opposites are now synonymous with one another (seeing as how good and evil are subjective, and good/evil depends on the opinion of the person performing said action). But as you said, tragic times really highlight how superhuman some of us can be, when we risk our own safety to help a total stranger.

And maybe I am totally out of line here, but I often wonder if we as a society should put so much emphasis on finding out WHO performs these heinous acts, as opposed to finding out WHY they were done and what we can do to prevent further crimes. Personally, I don't care about putting a face to these bombings if I can never fully understand what their rationality was. (Not that I'd agree either way, but curious minds just wanna know ) This country can be so much stronger if we focused on preventative measures, as opposed to becoming so violated and vulnerable during tragic stricken moments, and then transition into a hellbent force fueled by seeking vengeance rather than true justice and valuable understanding.

Sorry for the long rant on your blog! Hopefully I made some sense, as it probably sounded better in my head, lol.

bombs are a 'trigger' for me sometimes.

some people get really excited like it's a sporting event or a horror story where they have to know every detail.

Meanwhile in the rest of the world...

I won't even venture a theory on the sex metaphors! A streamlined tax system...in my fantasies!

I didn't get audited, so today was a good day!

To be fair, some of the nicest people I've ever met have been Mormon, but all that Lamanite nonsense has to really complicate things when it comes to having any kind of a rational discussion on race relations. Besides, I've been to Salt Lake City. Very clean, orderly place and it has a certain amount of charm, sure, but it's like being caught in the most boring version of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" ever, when you get down to it. Packer might think he's being all holy with that regressive cultural homogeneity BS, but it sounds like hell to me.

I didn't mean to make it sound like I thought you were hating, I just have a hard time being blunt myself, and I probably soften the things I say more than I should. Keep telling it like it is!

Krok, gives reptilian skin tone.

My formula for greatness in a human being is amor fati: that one wants nothing to be different, not forward, not backward, not in all eternity. Not merely bear what is necessary, still less conceal itall idealism is mendacity in the face of what is necessarybut love it.--Nietzsche in "Why I Am So Clever"

well, I sent a message to President Obama about the Nigerian Scammer, and then I googled the FBI, because the CIA doesn't do civil lawsuits. President Obama really put the heat on those Nigerians, I'm proud I contributed to a better world. I think it was about a week later I got an email from the FBI and they told me that the Nigerian Government was co-operating with them and I was one of the people due money. I can't find the link, but the UN threatened them with sanctions. And to think, if I didn't catch that FBI email in my spam folder I wouldn't have the money for my TV Pilot. I can't wait until my international bank account approves my registration fee. I had to borrow a bunch so I could pay for international bank insurance, I can't get the 200K unless I do that.

the twitter hashtag #occupywallstreet originated here. decentralized with no leadership, it was not usurped by conservative investment, it did not suffer the same fate as the 'Tea Party Movement' and it was mainly not infiltrated by diseased and cancerous money.

It took NPR 2 weeks to actually mention any of it publicly after they started.

There are no #Occupy candidates (with empirically 'scientifically measurable' 'emotional IQs' in the 'developmentally disabled' range of the emotional IQ spectrum) currently in office now. 'Perveted' 'Tea Party' candidates got rickrolled into office.

also, let me know when you are ready to tag team!
