Beginning the sixth era of my presence among the DeviantArt galaxy of nova-art and asteroid-crap, I’ve decided to minimize the amount of unnecessary journals.

If you have nothing to add, why make a journal about it ? “ I have nothing to say at the moment but I am having a nice burger” . Nah.


The fact that I have limited time to reply, review other people’s work, make comments and finally submit my own, diminishes my chances of joining the “higher path” in the Pantheon of DA popularity. However, if you have been following me for some time, you would have known that the vain pursuit of Internet Popularity has been a subject of observation for me and not one of personal occupation. After all, in a website where tits and pussy are there to behold, where can a writer place himself?


I’ll leave popularity, “ageviews” and “favourites” to the popular ones. Not a lesser race nor an odd breed. Just a different mindset.



Moving on.



During my good writing days, which I hope will come visit me again in terms of satisfactory quality and essence of work, I made the mistake of subconsciously ( but pretty much deliberately ) separating myself from what students of sociology like to call “the mass” or “the collective”.

In truth, the mistake lies in the delusion that the Observer (in this case, myself) stands on a higher ground, effectively immune to the psychopathological diseases of the “common” people. Of course, regardless of age and level of maturity, that is a silly mistake to make. No one is immune to Society. We are all part of it, whether we like it or not.

I tried many times, through my work and way of thinking, to “exorcise” that “evil” of modern society, to become something more than what I perceived as piles upon piles of bullcrap. Until recently, I believed that I had the way, or at least I could find one, to banish stupidity and apathy from the minds of those I talked and socialized with. Vanity, you see, has many forms of poisoning the human construct. Some find vanity to be the sweetest sin. I personally despise it. However, as a human being, vanity, along with a number of other sins, remains one of my weaknesses, no matter how hard I try to control it. The human flaw cannot be controlled.

At the very least, I have realized where my errors lie, even if trying to fix them is a futile struggle. I discovered that not giving a fuck, requires as much effort as actually caring.

Simplicity, in every form, in every way. Simplicity, in the way you walk, talk, eat and watch the clouds. Simplicity is not a room cluttered with fancy ideas and a pretentious way of presenting them . I hope I stay loyal to simplicity but as a human, I feel I will fuck up again at some point.



Sean Bedlam is a guy full of interesting ideas. The aura that surrounds him, so to speak, is that of pure Anti-Comformist genius, the same that surrounded Bill Hicks. I have been following his videos on Youtube for quite some time now and I feel that he says things way better than I ever will. He is one of the most charismatic people I know. Here is the latest of his creations. Posted about three hours ago. Pure genious.I could hardly add anything there.



See you around,
