Last I looked the world shattered around me.
And now it's time for me to leave and pick the pieces up.
In a world of positive clarity,
nothing is clear anymore.
There is no right
and there is no wrong.
People come and people go.
The world is a horrible and beautiful place.
We are our final end.
We live as we die,
alone.

Gentle Man Alone
The young maricones and the horny muchachas,
The big fat widows delirious from insomnia,
The young wives thirty hours' pregnant,
And the hoarse tomcats that cross my garden at night,
Like a collar of palpitating sexual oysters
Surround my solitary home,
Enemies of my soul,
Conspirators in pajamas
Who exchange deep kisses for passwords.
Radiant summer brings out the lovers
In melancholy...

That was an intriguing comment, I'm glad you enjoyed it so! I just couldn't do something that isn't me.. and a set just being pretty in my bed wouldn't work for me. (not at all saying theres anything wrong with the girls who choose to do sets like that, it just wouldn't be me because I always want to do something extreme). I'm happy people liked the set, I was almost a little worried that it would be "too much".. for some people. But screw them , right?

just wanted to wish ya the best for the holidays dood what are u up to??
At any given time, two million Americans are in jail, and only two states will let them vote while they're there. America puts more of its people in prison than any other country in the world, apart from Rwanda. I'm not going to get into the many iniquities of America's mass-incarceration policy right now, but it's worth noting that the slope of the pitch is...

Dear Friends,
The United States is a nation at war, gas tops $3 a gallon deficits will amount to $5 Trillion over the next decade. Faced with that, society asks everything from the military and nothing from us but to spend out tax cuts. Thats predictable, perhaps, when politicians provide us permission-even in wartime or days of disaster. to view taxes not as a way...

heresy2007:
at what point though, does one stop talking, and begin the process of defense? or better yet the process of self preservation.
discourse, debate, discussion, consensus, minority needs, ext. They ARE all wonderful conceptually, and the skills needed to follow through seem to be more and more limited amongst the population (just look at what's going on in new orleans, and the way the politicians are acting). But let me say this, at what point does a change become a mutation? That mutation thus limiting one's ability to "return" to a prior self?
I think this society is mutating, it's "evolving" into something new. It is trading in the concepts above so that it can get a quick fix, and a president that speaks like he's at the NASCAR tracik.
So what do you do when those in charge, and their majority backing, have mutated so much that they no longer understand the concepts traditionally used in represantative societies?

So I've been reading "a brief history of everything" recently (again actually(or some would even go so far as to say infinitely)) and something crosses mind.
If the universe is infinite, then all things are possible. infinite possibilitiy, infinite potential comes naturally from infinite space. if this is true, then there are doubles for us. exact doubles- not even quantum alternate us's. not only would...

uff... yes, i think sometimes i will smoke it too... hey, in my heart im in it!! but not all the time! thats it!! Nobody as far as I can see is making use of those elements in the air, which give direction and motivation to our lives. This age demands violence, but we are getting only abortive explosions. Revolutions are nipped in the bud

Sanctioning Art in The face of Turmoil
Art more often than not is born of the intelligences refusal to reason the concrete. Like expression, art begins where thought ends, and allows for the mind to get outside of itself and place it in opposition to others. Not for it to get lost but to show and reflect the blind path that all have entered on....

Afterglow
the afterglow is best, when the green doors
are barred to the streetlights and the last of
them have cabbed their way away; saturday
inhales our friday smoke, transforms greys
into blue morning, offering the scent of snow
in trade for animosity: it loves you all all all.

We'll be touring it in other countries and working on a NY premiere.
I work a lot with the elderly and disabled and most recently War Torture survivors who have been able to overcome their trauma through movement therapy. Definitely my most challenging gig yet but I find this kind of work to be very rewarding and it keeps me humble. It also allows me the opportunity to work with bands and musicians, makeup artists (I'm working with Bjork's!),and artists I love.
I don't want to get ahead of myself but I have a meeting with the TATE Modern about doing a live installation in their main hall. Let's keep our fingers crossed as I'm meeting the curator soon.
thanks for your interest and keep DANCING!
