My love for digital medium

In my lifetime I have watched technology advance so much, computers, internet, cellphones etc. What these innovations have done for us in terms of creative power is immeasurable, I mean take a look at all that we basically take for granted on a daily basis.  We can communicate with anyone in the entire world in seconds and share anything we create. 

What normally took months to create now can be done in days or even hours depending on the complexity. This means even people who are working a full-time job like myself can excel at a creative endeavor. Digital innovations have improved music, art, movies, and literature as well as our own quality of life.

So much that I create in digital art could not be possible for me if I was alive half a century ago. There are infinite possibilities with all mediums but digital has made so much possible for me personally that it is my steadfast choice. The notion that easier is somehow cheating is a sophistry of the self-righteous, all who are willing should be able to create.

Digital is a living medium always improving with the latest advents of technology. I just recently saw a demo of a 3D paint program used in a VR environment and was blown away by this innovation due to the complexity of current 3D rendering software. I can't wait to see what lies beyond the horizon for digital art, it's so exciting.... excelsior!

Our True Purpose

To claim I know Humanity's true purpose is quite a hefty claim, I could be delusional, narcissistic, or even quite insane. Maybe, just maybe, but what I claim is that I have found something, something that many overlook and are distracted from. I'm talking about personal truth, what is it that rings true in your core being, when all burdens are lifted what will you become?

We are told that if we do not believe that Humanity is created from monkeys procreating then we are not intelligent, and that our only destiny is to return to the dirt. It really makes me laugh to think that anyone would buy this idea with a straight face. It is an abomination of everything humanity was meant to be to even think we have limits, and to say that our birth was just happenstance.

I threw out the monkey-men theory so I must be an Evangelical right? Wrong, Religion also puts Humanity in a box created by himself, so I really have no use for it. If we do nothing or the bare minimum our whole life regardless of what we believe, we will become nothing and that's a fact even the monkey worshiping scientists can agree on.

The claim that I know Humanity's true purpose comes not from speculation and theory but from actual experience, as I have spent most of my life searching for the truth. When we throw aside all that we are told and actually seek wholeheartedly the answers come to us from within. My personal conclusion is that Humanity's purpose is to realize our own potential, the choice is simple use your talents or return to the earth.  

A Decade of Love

Over the weekend my Wife and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary and I thought I would post something in dedication today because of the uncertainty of everything currently. Well see here is the thing, it's election day and millions of people are currently casting a vote that will certainly decide the fate of our nation. No time in my entire life has the future ever been so unclear.

So what does this have to do with our anniversary? Well hear me out, my point is that I don't know what the future holds but I will always follow my heart and my heart tells me that no matter what happens my wife and I will be together always. We could be looking for rodents as sustenance in a post-apocalyptic world or living  in the lap of luxury in a life we build together, either way our love will endure.

Ten years ago my Wife declared that she believed in me and lifted me up high when I would have fallen alone. No other could have been so supportive and loving, my neurotic tendencies would have driven most mad. I believe in her as well, her passion for life has been a blessing to all who have experienced it.

We are together not for coincidence, but because we cannot exist otherwise. So if the bombs fall or not we will be united as one always. Never shall our fates be decided by others.
