CONTEMPLATION.....5..... 8 YEAR EVALUATION


The best thing about writing stream-of-consciousness for New work is coming back to those statements 8 years later and finding out things you've learned about yourself in Life or things that have happened. The psychologies of those pieces change and develop. You end up adding additives that you wouldn't normally add subconsciously because you are dealing with specific issues or turmoil’s at that time. It's very self-analytical. It’s amazing what your initial statement is and then your statement is 8 years later when you found out some of the things you've been dealing with were exposed in those pieces. In 2010 I had a anger toward women, a disrespect, and grudge. 8 years later I find those scars are healing and through the eyes of my daughters drastically changing. Through maturity, understanding and love, I see the beauty in that form again on a pedestal rather than objective. Progression is a blessing…..5……

FYI: This piece is now framed up and the price point is different. progression is expensive. images coming soon.

New Priority

It’s been almost a full year since I have posted anything on here or created art for that matter. I’ve been concentrating on myself and my humanity. Fine tuning all those broken or dysfunctional parts to make my journey in life more productive and empowering for my marriage , my children and, of course, myself. How sick and selfish I was in the past letting my personality get tangled up in melodramatic imagination and false perceptions of myself and the world around me. What a lie I lived for so many years and how close I came to disaster. One of the biggest changes in the last year was the elimination of Alcohol from my diet. Not only did that effect my health dramatically it also changed my awareness of the world around me, and the people I love. I was much more able to appreciate the little things I had been missing for years. One amazing thing I experienced was the change in the bond with my daughter. I spend part of every morning watching cartoons and cuddling with my kids for a couple of hours. At about four or five weeks of not drinking at all I took the same position cuddling with my kids and I took a good hard look into my daughters eye, and she looks back for the first time. Prior to this I felt that her possible developmental issue was the reason for her distant stare and her lack of connection. But little did I know she had been there the entire time. It was me that lacked the connection. What a great journey I had with her that day. We sat there staring at each other, playing and laughing. This is what people mean by clarity. All I can hope for is more of these perfect experiences, jumping back into the production of my art and pushing forward toward a great life…..5…..

The Simple Man

So there's confusion about men that men are simple and not complex but the reality is men are very complex yet hold simple standard and principles. I watched a movie recently that hit me at home it was about a man who live not such a positive life but loved his family extremely. He loved his daughter, loved does wife, he tried hard to balance these two worlds and found out that no matter what those two worlds would end up meeting up.  I read once that children are a mirror, they are the mirror of all the things we do wrong in life and where we need to do to progress. They are the key to why we are successful as human beings without them sometimes we just have ourselves and sometimes yourself are not enough.  Children make us better people no matter how awful we were in the past. They explain the future better than any elder ever could. They are the reason some of to live and their mentors in their own right. What will give up for family is endless. We strive for the best for our children but sometimes realize that the best is only what we envision ourselves and not what our children vision. There has to be an understanding of Hope, Love, care, and consciousness that goes into parenting even know not everybody understands or respects this theory but it shows up in countless forms of  media, movies, books, and our minds.  there is only one reason bad boys become good dads and that is children. Love you baby girl.....5.....

MILESTONES



ISLA BARNES BORN MARCH 4TH 2013

For years I have felt trapped in quicksand, not able to get out and move up to the next milestone. Left stagnate, waiting for that child to begin our family, that forever child. Now that veil has been lifted, new life can begin, wasted years are behind us. She came to us and now she is finally a permanent part of our family.  The quicksand feels like it is loosening and the fear and stress of the responsibility ahead engulf my eagerness. The fog has clears the stairs are visible and I am climbing. It’s a bit overwhelming thinking about the responsibility ahead but I am defiantly up for the challenge. I can’t wait to see what tomorrow bring and look very forward to the milestones.
ISLA IN HARD TIMES
Milestone seem important in life. They direct as well as set the footing for our next step. I never really paid too much attention to milestones in the past thinking they were just trees passing by in my travels. A nice thought but they are more than this, they are foundations being forged. They are the rise of your steps to your next point. Lack of concern for them creates a loss of drive and a decrease in forward momentum. We need milestones to show us we are heading I the right direction. Without them we are flying blind. By doing this we take the chance of going in the wrong direction or even worse sometimes going in no direction at all. Milestone also build your respect and enforce your relationships with family and friends. The more milestone you share with family and friends the closer bond is developed.  Graduation, They are a scrapbook of our lives allowing us to look back and see where we succeeded and where we failed, but most of all where we are heading and how we can get there quicker. Marriage, Children, Car accident, Promotion, New home, Prison, 25th anniversary, etc etc etc. No matter how small the milestone. How positive or how negative, all of them hold a place in our hearts that will drive us, even negative milestone can drive us forward if they are looked at correctly and seen for what they are. If not, they can limit us and stall us from achieving the next milestone. They can stall us for minutes or they can stall us for decades.

 I sit wondering what the future will bring, what is out there for us and where we will be in 10 years. I make suggestions and comments to myself hoping the energy will maintain the excitement. She is ours and we are her netting. Her only defense against this world in which we live. The only protection from that which is dark and unmanageable. Do I put blinders on her and school her like a horse for success, or water her like a flower and let her grow in her own unique chemistry. So many questions and no answers. Lots of options but no facts. It’s a scary road to not know where the next pothole is, but we will strive through it. Build this house solid and large. Filled with love and charity. We will develop ourselves to be that family with communication and understand. One that helps you through in times of need and gives space when you need it. I hope I can show you everything you desire to see and I hope I can teach you everything you desire to learn. I see that energy within you. That enormous, powerful, power which you convey. How luck the world will be to experience even a faction of what you are capable of, and can you imagine what you will be capable of in the future.

Farewell Letter to G, for now.....





I ventured to the supermarket the other day to see you and your family standing there, you looked amazing. I spent the last year and half scared to death that you were not safe, protected and loved. I also spent that time missing you tremendously, that great smile and your unmistakable call for “Daddy” will always resonate in my head. I didn’t want to say anything cause I didn’t want to confuse you or create anymore turmoil in your life, you have gone through so much already, so I just walked on by, wowed that I finally got a chance to see you again. I hope you didn’t see me I wouldn’t want you to think I forgot about you, far from it. I’d rather you live your life and be happy. But I was glad I got to see you healthy, and well kept. It gave me some clarity of your future and even know I
will still worry daily, at least I know you are likely on a good path.
I want to thank you for being a part of our lives and creating so much love in our home. You brought a lot of joy to our family and I hope the time you spent with us brought that same amount of joy. You helped me through some trying times, and helped me grow as person and most of all as a parent. More than you will even know. I hope the skills and goals we instilled in you while you stayed with us, bring you much joy and happiness. I hope to, someday in the distance, see you again. See how you have developed into a successful young lady. And watch you walk with confidence, strength, and beauty into your future. I wish you everything the world has to offer and hope you receive it. I will always miss you, and of course I love you very much. Best of luck my little girl.

Love

“Daddy”

Time 'tick' 'tick'

TIME SCAPE
Time is an interesting element in our lives as human beings. It can be used as a punishment (prison), used as a pleasure (vacation), used as a measure (work week), or even used as a threat (you have 6 months to live). Whatever it is used for, it will never stop, and never reset. Its unforgiving in that way. There is no pause, rewind, and fast forward. There is just time with no concluded end
When young time seems endless; open to new possibilities and hopes. The sun seems to never set and new horizons seem to grow almost in an instant. There is no value put on time at this age because it seems so endless. When age starts to show its ugly head, time seems to go by faster leaving you wanting more but not able to accomplish it within the quicksand’s of the hourglass. No matter how hard you try things begin to slip out of your grasp, you fall behind, your list become smaller because the longer lists from before are no longer attainable. The older we get the even more quick time seems to pass by. Instead of hours missed it becomes days, weeks, months and even years. We forget and the pass erases all existence of the events. Maybe this is why legacy is so important to most people. Why having a clean image is more important than being honest and true, no matter how horrible the truth. Why are our lives set up with such a parameter. Is it so we value time and thus live, if so than why do we as humans not see the value of time till in most cases it’s passed us by. Is this the cruel reality of time’s plan to make us aware late in life of our wastefulness of it.
I’d like to think that time somehow continues after death. But being realistic there is probably a slim chance of this. I like to think I’m going to be more then fertilizer in my absence but until that day comes I will never know, and of course I’m not too much a gambler with common ideas that are supported by no evidence. So in retrospect I will wait to explore that avenue and see what it brings. For now I chase time, trying to catch as much of it as possible and harvest as much of it as I can. Spend as much of it with family and friends, and as little of it with doubt and depression. It’s way too short to waste on simple thing like that and I’m way to busy looking at the better things in life.

BROKEN - DEMONS

 
BROKEN - DEMONS
Everyone has demons. Some are vague and only show their heads at times of extreme weaken and some are extremely powerful and control a large percentage of a person’s life. Some people have one or maybe two demons and other may have many that they have to deal with. I think the older we get the more we recognize these elements in our lives as toxic and we begin to extinguish them one at a time, But again some are very powerful and take a much longer time to eliminate. Sometimes we eliminate demons by trading one demon for another, maybe a less harmful demon. We sometimes see ourselves in a continuous struggle with our lives because of these demons. This struggle can affect our self-esteem, our attitude, our view of the world and sometimes our entire mental state. Suffering develops character if it is allowed to be objectively looked upon. When people suffer they either learn from the experience or they claim victim to the experience, either way they eventually will build some character from the experience, may it be good or bad. At what point during this suffering do we as human being to either cross over and progress as people or give up and fall victim to one’s self. Why is it that some humans can have enormous amounts of suffering, yet progress as if nothing detrimental had ever happened, and other experience a small amount of suffering and it encapsulates their entire life. Is it just weak genes or a weak mind or is it something deeper inside us. Is it the teachings of our parents to take suffering in stride and keep moving on, instead of giving up or is it instilled in our souls from something else. Where ever it comes from we need it as a motivator, a guild to keep us focused and directed. It comes in many forms, from a laughing baby, to a document on a wall. Some may seem strange or odd to other but they are the driving energy that power them. Broken is a state of mind a point where you have given up and stopped. It’s weaken, disease, quicksand. This suffering is how we learn, but only if we allow ourselves to gain that knowledge from it. Unfortunately this struggle can only be concord by one’s self. There is no support group, or program, or lifestyle that will help us unless we first find peace and resolution within ourselves first. So the solution is there is no solution; it changes from person to person with an infinite number of recipes based on a specific individual’s situation.....

2014 Mission

OK I'll start off with some New years Mission for 2014.
1. Spent more time with the wife and kids. We all get so caught up in day to day crap family some times falls behind and before we know it its gone. I plan on spent very second I can, you never know when you are up, better make the best of the now. Plus they deserve it they put up with me. That in it self is a task.
2. Fix my credit and financial status. I never understood how poor credit can effect very aspect of your life till this past year. No more of that crap, time to tighten up. Consolidation of some loans, reduction of some bills, Sallie Mae, need I say more. Any advise out there?
3. Improve my Health. Stop standing around thinking I'm superman and start doing something about it, you know eat right, and workout a bit. The health issues of this past year helped with this brain storm too. You can only run so far before life catches you.
4. Spent more time with friend. We are not getting younger and over the years friendship have drifted due to work, family etc. Friend are very important they provide support, communication, and most of all stress relief.
5. Design and Art schdule for the year of 2014: I can't wait to start some new work for 2014. I just moved into a space where I have a studio space and I'm itching. I look forward to creating some public murals this year so if anyone might have a space open give me a ring. Also looking to continue my personal mural project, so if anyone might be interested???? On a home side I can't wait to start the redesign of our new home, room by room, and of course the customization of my JEEP.
These are the main few. Not in any specific order but all important and needed for my insanity .

ARTISTIC UNDERSTANDING


I have to say something about this. So I posted a painting on a Artist website that I giving away for the holiday. I had someone contact me on messager say it was sexually explicit and asked me to take it down. Hears the kicker he's an artist and photographer, and producer. I would think an artist would have a more open mind about sexual based art work, but I guess I was wrong. Just to clarify the series in question is called 213AOE series, and its based on the exploitation of women and men based on our make-up as humans. It based on the Art of exaggeration, where human beings exaggerate parts of their body for all kinds of psychological reasons (acceptance, success, culture, etc. etc. etc.) I reposted on Facebook not because I'm saying F you to the other artist I want to see what other artist feedback is on the subject.

The other two pieces currently in this collection are 213A

And 213 B

BLUE FLAG PROJECT

SEPT. 11, 2001: I REMEMBER WORKING FOR THE MEDICAL EXAMINERS OFFICE. WE WERE PICKING SOMEONE UP FROM THE ER @ JACKSON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL IN MIAMI, ONE OF THE BUSIEST AND LOUDEST ER IN THE TRI-COUNTY AREA. AS WE WALKED IN AN UNSETTLING SILENCE FELL OVER THE ROOM, EVERY ONES FACES (PATIENTS, NURSES, & DOCTORS WAS FIXED ON THE TV SCREEN. IT LITERALLY FELT LIKE THE APOCALYPSE




OF COURSE AMERICA WENT ON THE DEFENSIVE AND INVADED AFGHANISTAN LOOKING FOR THE SAME PEOPLE THEY SUPPORT SEVERAL YEARS EARLIER BY SUPPLYING THEM WITH WEAPONS. BUT NONE THE LESS, I SUPPORTED THE TROOPS 110%, THOSE GUYS WERE FIGHTING A WAR AMERICA STARTED, AND AS A RESULT SO MANY MEN AND WOMEN HAVE DIED IN BATTLE OR BY SUICIDE, FOR WHAT A PATCH OF OIL NEW "US SOIL".  WAS IN FULL SWING. THAN OF COURSE SEVERAL MINUTES LATER THE SECOND PLANE HIT AND AMERICA KNOW THIS WAS NO ACCIDENT THIS WAS SOME KIND OF ATTACK.

WHEN THIS STARTED I DETERMINED I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING FOR THE TROOPS TO SHOW SUPPORT AND THIS IS WHERE THE BLUE FLAG PROJECT BEGAN. I STENCIL A BLUE FLAG EVERYWHERE I WHEN. IT SYMBOLIZED SUPPORT AND HONOR FOR OUR TROOPER BUT NOT FOR THE BLOOD SHED OF OUR GOVERNMENT.
AFTER 13 YEARS THE FLAG STILL STANDS IN FRONT OF THE US ARMORY. FADED AND IN NEED OF REPAIR BUT NEVER COVERED OR CROSSED OVER.
IN 2012 MY GRANDFATHER PASSED. IT HIT ME MUCH HARDER THAN I THOUGHT IT MIGHT AND I BEGAN TO REALIZE THE MORTALITY OF US ALL. HE LEFT MY GRANDMOTHER WITH SUPPORT FINANCIAL AND WITH SEVERAL HOMES TO LIVE IN. HE LEFT HIS CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN WITH A SENSE OF WELL BEING AND RESPECT FOR A MAN THAT SELDOM SPOKEN, BUT WHEN HE DID IT MADE YOU SMILE. I MODEL MYSELF OFF HIS TEACHINGS AND HOPE I CAN BE SO INFLUENTIAL TO MY KIDS. HE WAS ALSO A MILITARY MAN AND I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING FOR MY GRANDMOTHER TO SHOW THE RESPECT I HAVE FOR HIM. I DECIDED TO INCORPORATE THE BLUE FLAG PROJECT INTO THIS WORK, DUE TO THE FACT THAT EVERYONE THAT GIVES UP THEIR LIVES FOR A CAUSE OR A COUNTY DESERVES HONOR. I ALSO INCORPORATED SEVERAL OTHERS THAT HAVE BEEN INFLUENTIAL IN MY LIFE AND THE LIFE OF OTHER AMERICANS. MILEY A GREAT FRIEND CURRENTLY SERVING IN THE NAVY, LANA A NEW FRIEND CURRENTLY SERVING IN THE COAST GUARD, HECTOR HERNANDEZ, MY FATHER-IN-LAW, SERVED IN THE AIR FORCE, AND OF COURSE PAPA JOE SERVED IN ARMY AS A DOCTOR.

UNFORTUNATELY I WAS DENIED THE MURAL PROJECT AT THE ARMORY. PER THE SERGEANT THEY ARE PLANNING ON REMOVING THE BARRICADES AND ADDING A FENCE, WHICH WOULD DEFEAT THE PURPOSE OF DOING A MURAL ANY HOW. MAYBE A VIDEO TIME LAPSE AND A SECOND MURAL WHO KNOWS.....5.....

Superman Vs Reality



Suppose nothing else were "given" as real except our world of desires and passions, and we could not get down, or up, to any other "reality" besides the reality of our drives--for thinking is merely a relation of these drives to each other: is it not permitted to make the experiment and to ask the question whether this "given" would not be sufficient for also understanding on the basis of this kind of thing the so-called mechanistic (or "material") world?...
In the end not only is it permitted to make this experiment; the conscience of method demands it. Not to assume several kinds of causality until the experiment of making do with a single one has been pushed to its utmost limit (to the point of nonsense, if I may say so)... The question is in the end whether we really recognize the will as efficient, whether we believe in the causality of the will: if we do--and at bottom our faith in this is nothing less than our faith in causality itself--then we have to make the experiment of positing causality of the will hypothetically as the only one. "Will," of course, can affect only "will"--and not "matter" (not "nerves," for example). In short, one has to risk the hypothesis whether will does not affect will wherever "effects" are recognized--and whether all mechanical occurrences are not, insofar as a force is active in them, will force, effects of will.
Suppose, finally, we succeeded in explaining our entire instinctive life as the development and ramification ofone basic form of the will--namely, of the will to power, asmy proposition has it... then one would have gained the right to determine all efficient force univocally as--will to power. The world viewed from inside... it would be "will to power" and nothing else.

My Muse: a collection of admiration for my wife.

It take a strong and patience woman to deal with the ever changing emotional baggage I call my life. I must admit my faults and defects make me unapproachable and sometime empty, yet she stands next to me and fights. She is the true statment of marriage, work, progression, and love. As an artist there is a way above and beyond anything anyone else can produce that I can. And that is my art, my concepts and emotions on surfaces for all to see and critic. Yes I can buy flowers, or dinner but this will last longer and bolder and maybe even be eternal, as we are after we took our vow......


  

 She is perfect and real like nothing else. She is strong and bold, that sometime makes me angry and other times proud. She is individual, unique, beautiful and most of all mine.....

STRANGER DANGER - CHILD ABDUCTIONS : Would Anyone Help Your Child When B...



The older I get the more in tune I become on some of the more silent thing we as humans are responsible for. We take our careers and our lives as paramount and leave out the fact that some things need to be acted upon. I remember a traumatic situation in my young adulthood that made me really think about this. I was drive down a highway with several friend after a party. We notice a boy laying on the side of the highway and pulled over. By the time we arrive at the boy several other people were standing around in a circle, examining, questioning, but no one doing anything including myself and my friends. The boy was clearly dead but still no one reacted. How often do we as humans fail our fellow humans by not reacting? May it be a child being abducted or a woman in distress, or a man helpless? I failed two people and I can't look myself in the mirror. I failed my wife by not expressing the extreme disrespect other were giving her, and I failed my G by not fighting harder. At this point I can only hope my wife forgives me and my G stays safe. THIS STATEMENT MIGHT SOUND STRANGE, BUT DON’T STAND BY AND WATCH TRAGITIY BE APART OF IT. LISTEN, REACT, AND BE HUMAN…..5……

Keep your Stupidity to yourself.....


I told myself a long time ago “what people may need to maintain structure and happiness in their life is great, if it works well for them and they remain positive to other, cool.” What I don’t respect are those people who push their shit on others. I can’t even count how many times I was walking through the mall, or at the bus stop as a teen and some creep douche with a bad hair piece approached me and ask me if I found Jesus, and wouldn’t leave me alone till I took one of his handouts. Why are you asking kids, why not ask adults??? Reason: because adult would smack them in the mouth and tell them where to go, adult have already developed a backbone. Listen, if everyone just lived by the golden rule and stop trying to formulation groups and recruit memberships this world would be a much better place. Now I don’t want anyone to think I hate religious organizations I think they do a lot of good for the community, yet at the same time I think some of their reasoning is way off. When you are going to third world countries to “help” yet the first thing you build is a church, I think it’s pretty oblivious why you are truly there. You are there to recruit third world people to believe what you believe and in return give them education shelter and food. A bit twisted if you ask me, but whatever.
So to the real story, I did some stencil murals during the Graffiti Expo 2010. Simple stencils of past work, one was a bit sexy but not too crazy, part of my 213AOE series. They ran for about a year, which in urban art is not a bad run. But it was brought to my attention by my friend and fellow artist, Ryan owner of Rolling Stock Gallery, that someone had defaced my work with some self-righteous bullshit.  “God’s Truth for _______” what the fuck does that even mean???? You know, I might have some respect for this person if they painted over the entire piece and had a real artist do something better over my work like real street artists, but that just seem weak to me. To make it even worst, my website was posted on the side. All they had to do was voice their opinions to me there and I would have explained that this specific work (as shown above, deface, was a series of pieces that hit on the exploitation of the female form and the fact that this form is get more and more exaggerated as history progresses. Long story short, No matter how solid you feel your thought are you are still just a pushy little shit with no backbone. Learn to love yourself and stop trying to impose your shit on other and you will feel a lot better about yourself at the end of the day.
This has been a public service announcement from your friendly artist…..5…..peace

THINK POZITIVE aka: TPOZ


“Sitting in wonder / the lack for trust clouds my perspective. / I breathe, yet drowning is so painful / Pride decays in the presents of finance / a man becomes a boy / and the heart grows no founder / As seasons change and movements stalls / little acknowledgement for those baby steps are present / Is it bitter luck or bad weather that draws upon us / Light through seemingly dark skies / cups half full / the battle for the soul rages within / the war begins / dark verses light / positive verse negative / opposites collide / Are you a solider of predominately negative dreams / or are you a solider of light / live free, live long, live positive.”…..5…..

What do we do as artist when the future is seemingly so dim? Budgets become slimmer, marriage become broken, personalities become melancholy, and life as we knew it become more of a hassle then the freedom we all seem to enjoy. We as artist have a responsibility to show and communicate these tears in the system, politically, socially and commercially. But is this the only responsibility artist have? Or do we as artists have an alternative responsibility to help promote our future, to help encourage our fellow humans and to bring to the table a communication of positivity.






This is a call to arms for Artists across the nation to develop ideas and concept to promote positive thinking. Think Pozitive is a way to promote this concept as well as developing your own creativity into it. Think Pozitive to not only battle the negative energies of the current environment but to also gather strength against HIV/AIDS in the world and to develop awarness.....5.....

Jordan Biggs "Brooklyn" Best father daughter song ever.....5.....



 
 
In the begining of this video I state: "There is only a select group of things that make such an impact on life that they change it dramatically, Mine is G."
 
The world has a weird way of operating. When you are in a dark place or when you are trying to dig yourself out of a shallow grave you find light in the most unexcepted places. During a journey with illness I ran into this prefect little woman, and she changed my life. She became the reason for my strif and the result of my hard work. She stayed for the period of time I needed her and swiftly left. Things in this life alway happen for a reason and this was my rock during these hard times.
 
I love you G and hope for you the most success and happiness you can have, I will see you soon, Daddy.
 
Thanks Jordan Biggs for developing such a perfect song for my concept of love for my daughter, I'm sure as well as yours.


This is an image I produced during my illness it represents an image from my current pet scan, ,scratched and damaged it is the symbol of a life disrespected and the lack of my responsible nature. That little light I found in G help spark the glo that continues today to help me find peace in my journey down wrong paths and my continue journey toward understanding.....5.....

Nevelson: Awareness in the Fourth Dimension (excerpt)


One of my favorite assemblage artist Louise Nevelson, one of the best found object artist I have ever come across. Her absence color interestes me and I find a equality with it. Typically I only use three or so shades in my work and the stand out colors are normally dark and down toned. I really appreciate her drive. It doesn't hurt that Robert Indiana the figure 5 work is in the background. It's alway 5.....5.....

"Erratum" definded is an error in writing or printing. A book with a blank page, a news letter with several missing lines. In current day there are clearly defined instructions to how a person must scan a page to a computer to obtain the entire page. If done incorrectly parts of the page with be missing and the scan copy leaving it incomplete. What if some of the most prollific authors and stories of our time and before are missing the instructions and somehow left out a line or two, a page or two, or more. How would this effect our culture as humans? Would it change the direction of our society if we found out that some of our history as incomplete. You wonder what authors or stories could cause such a dramatic change if found false. Would the Declaration of independence being incomplete change things or even more universal the Bible. What kind of affect would this draw into our communities. Who made the rules? Who is wrong or right? Who says that fate is not the governor and those missing words or lines or pages were mean to be.

"Erratum" 24"X48" acrylic, aerosol, wood stain, and sticker applications on wood Sold to the Kyriakioles Family.

Good or Evil?????

For my very first blog I figured I would throw out some of my personal concepts on this life in which we all lead. I came across a friend of mines website http://www.okanom.com/ and noticed a brief interaction he calls “balancing of the shades” I really appreciated the concept and I wanted to expand on this a little with my own thoughts. Okulus Anomali states that there is no good or evil that is it a concept developed by man. Now for starts I could have a completely different view on the subject it’s just my expanse, two this expanse is mine it’s not political, religious or such so if you start to get upset you should probably take a step back and think about it more.

Are good and evil truly opposites or is one just more defined in our culture then the other? In history many thing have been set as evil do to the lack of knowledge on the subject then at a later date reborn as positive. Clearly by definitions good, or light or better defined then evil or dark by more then 60%. Why? Is it because it’s easier to swallow? Or is it because one has to put less mental work toward the conclusion? So clearly if this is the case then there may be some things classified as evil that may not be based on lack of information and there may be something classified as good that may have wrong information guiding it. There is a fine line between exploration and descending into the information that may be evil. Sometime this exploration or descending can cause more damage then bringing sometime new to light. But how would we know without this exploring? How far is to far if no one tests it, hell tee art was square till someone sailed it. Two cups are cups, less defined. One may be filled with poison and one with water but until tested they remain two cups no matter what there contains.
