Update

To everybody keeping tabs on how my art is coming along, thank you, I couldn't have come this far without your positive influence. I am currently working on something big and will be suspending progress on this site until I've finished. Although this break is indefinite, please keep checking back, and thanks again for your support. Russell

on “the greatest secret”

This will be an attempt at severance from my bitterly scornful approach to explaining life as I know it. Enlightenment will be the theme of this entry, although its not a directional motivator, its just the topic...dont get your hopes up...whoever you are. Knowledge itself has the capability to be a very powerful self-inflicting tool. In a universe of many truths, if you set out on your own, your journey will always result in a discovery of exponential proportions to what you already believed, or wanted to believe. Its almost impossible to self-prove a personal belief completely wrong. What’s...

Belief = Blindness

I would like to preface this segment by apologizing for a somewhat sardonic tone which mirrored my mood. Maybe I should clean it up, if so let me know. In a colloquial tour of my objective interpretation over the last decade I can only come to this: patterns define us. All of morally, socially, consciously and unconsciously, we are a predictable race. Very little of who we are is unique, despite how non intrinsic we believe ourselves to be.

The See Saw

When’s it all gonna end? I find myself obsessing with the idea almost daily these years. From scientific probability, to the romantic scriptures of religious so-called foresight—I wrap myself in the possibility and chase it with an almost fantasizing ambition. Why though? Am I a masochist to dream of a proverbial six billion person “spring cleaning”? It’s a fairly easy question to answer when I understand that it is in human nature to marvel at the same conceptualization. History teaches a repetition of the fantasy. In a world unbalanced, who’s human product has only been self-degradation,...

Blog This

Blogging is for a person who likes to hear him/her self talk--especially when that person has such a small consignment of followers; moreover, a personal blog on a personal website are a couple ingredients in a recipe for narcissism. That being said, my secretary will be doing all of the writing, which I tell my butler to carry over from me to her, so ya see, the assessment doesn't fit. Hello world, and welcome to what will follow as the best, most entertaining and intellectual assortment of rhetoric you will have ever scanned your eyes across and attempted to ingest in your entire life. After...
