We can spend our whole lives waiting or we can, at this very moment, begin to make things happen…

Why wait? Because it is so easy. Why would I want to put any effort into anything when I can just wait for something to happen? Well, for starters, because nothing will happen. If you just lay and wait for something to change in your life…It won’t! You as sole proprietor of your being is in complete control over the outcome of your existence. Even if you believe in an Abrahamic God, he gave you free will, there is no such thing as fate. Nothing is predetermined in some book written down by an all powerful entity. You are the center of your own universe. Make your world change. Move forward or you’ll get trapped in the past…

3 Gods 12/28/11

Quick post because I’m typing this from my phone and its a pain.. Just didn’t want to forget it.
So there’s this debate over the trinity in Abrahamic religions. The father son and holy ghost, and atheists or agnostics say how can you have a singular entity and claim two other? Most, intellectual believers easily explain this by saying its like how water has 3 forms. Liquid, ice, and steam (gas) just like every other element in the known universe…
This got me thinking about the significance of “3.” So there’s 3 realms of “God” ok that makes sense.. well there ie also 3 Abrahamic gods. Don’t believe me? You have Yawhew the Jewish god. There’s Allah, the Muslim god and God, the Christian god. Also in genesis, the first story or book in all Abrahamic “bibles” it says and let us make him….( I did look this up)
So the question is, is god powerful enough to know everything and the reason for these things is that he knew he would have to take these forms to keep we humans on a path of belief… or is there really more than one “God”……….

11/30/11 Question of the Day

Dave — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 19:38:44 +0000

What if everything that is discovered to be true, is actually caused by a mass collective thought by humanity. The world was flat until enough people thought it wasn’t. The earth was the center of the universe until enough people decided it wasn’t. Even the idea of blackholes was just a theory until enough decided it was a solid theory, then low and behold blackholes were proven to exist… Just remember the building blocks of our know universe “particles, atoms, etc.” react in a strange and unfamiliar way until we record and watch them. Then they do exactly what “humanity” expects them to do…

Put away the paint for a while to finish a drawing I started a while ago.

Oct.7, 2011 Fear.

Dave — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 01:42:44 +0000

Here’s a fun exercise for your daily thought process.

Make a list of all things you fear even if it’s as simple as a worry. No one is suppose to see this so don’t forget to put down spiders (men, we are all afraid of spiders.) Think of everything you can possibly think of then, think some more.

When you have all of your fears and worries written down and can’t think of anything more, here’s where the thinking comes in. I want you to now cross off any physical items. I.e. spiders, snakes, ghosts, aliens, etc. These are things that are in our world or don’t exist and we just avoid or deal with. I want you to really think about the next step. I mean really step outside the box here. I want you to cross off fears that really won’t happen unless you cause it to happen. So pretty much anything that can’t come to be unless you screw it up.

You’ll be surprised that there isn’t very many things to be afraid of or worry about. Either they are something we can’t really do anything about or are 100% caused by ourselves.

10/1/2011 Afterlife Redo

Dave — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 03:31:53 +0000

Here’s something fun to think about once in a while. Imagine if you had your choice of an afterlife? What if one of those choices is to be able to relive your entire life, from the moment of birth, and still remember everything from before you died? Having full knowledge of who you are and where you life could go, what would you do different, even in specific events? What would you still have to do to get to where you want to be, i.e. a current relationship you would want to do over? Remember changing certain things in the past can greatly effect the future. So you might have to go through that heartbreak to be back to where you are now.

I am actually going to make this concept into a full article. I just want to do a little research and I will then write up an article about afterlife choices. Keep checking back for the update and try out this concept, you might find something about yourself you didn’t know.

P.S. Read my “Time Travel and Loop Theory,” article and that will give you a head start on the next article “Afterlife Choice.”

Sept. 26th, 2011 (Dream A Little Dream)

Dave — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 05:14:51 +0000

I usually have very vivid almost lucid dreams. A lot are in black and white but, an abnormally large amount are in color. Most of my dreams usually have a set theme, but not last nights. I am going to try and make sense with the description of said dream, although it really doesn’t make sense to me. It starts out as 2 people, unknown to me in real life, and I are taking this crappy boat out to the ocean for a cruise. We end up getting lost in some kind of marsh land I think is Louisiana. We land near some sort of community that looks deserted. The town looks between victorian and old west. All of a sudden a crazy old witch lady tries to attack me. After I fight her off she appologizes to me and says that they never get any outsiders in their village. Amazingly, they have been cut off from the outside world because of flood water making it impossible to get to. How we got there I do not know. Now a few more town folk come out and I begin to talk to them. They soon say that they do not have much time and need to head back inside. No one tells me anything but I soon realize why.

All of a sudden billions of ants start to come out of holes! I mean there are billions and they are not the cute little guys we have around here. These ant are the size of a thumb. I begin to run a round like a chicken with it’s head cut off trying to avoid them. I eventually evade them long enough, albeit had to brush a bunch off me that were crawling on my arms and legs. Unfortunately, the other guy that was with me got eaten by the ants. Kind of creepy watching some one’s body being devoured alive. You know with all the blood and screaming. By the way, this dream is in full sound and color. After the ants leave the town folk come back out then finally explain to me what the heck is going on. Seems that the ants come out once every hour and try to attack anything in site. This is why the town is in shambles. No one has time to fix anything and the town is starving and falling apart. So…

In my infinite wisdom I try to derive a plan to help these folks out. I wanted to fill the holes up with concrete but they didn’t have any. What I found was several bottles of butane, but a heavier more liquid like than we are use to. I proceeded to fill the holes up. The butane would flow through the tunnels made by the ants. And then, I would light them on fire. This was the fun part. All I had was a small lighter so I would have to get really close and KABOOM! There would be a huge explosion that would fire over my head. Immense heat and a bright orange flash around me, then I would move on to the next hole. KABOOM! And so on. I almost didn’t make it in time for the last hole. The ants started to march out but I lit the butane just in time and after another enormous boom, thousands of little fire balls rained down.

The people of the town were exuberant. I finally was able to explain to them about my predicament. They pointed me in the direction of a beautiful pool of water. It had huge rocks and turquoise blue water. The good part, it led to the ocean so I could go home. When I got there the last person I was with ( a girl). When I saw her I was like what the hell? She found this place and missed all the action. Oh, and this pool of water had mermaids in it. But they weren’t the pretty ones from disney. They were about the size of a salmon and really creepy looking. All of a sudden there was a pirate ship about to land so I ran back to warn the town. When I was able to start telling people what was happening the town was being invaded. There were no longer pirates but military personnel involved in the attack. Guns a blazing and this is where I wake up.

Don’t know why I had a dream with those events in it, but I can say it was pretty cool. Hope you enjoyed.

Ah yeah, Reno Nevada and our Street Vibrations! A few days of really loud noises and thousands of motorcycles causing traffic jams. I love it! I ride, and have no problem with a few days of seeing every type of bike ever made. If you don’t like it, you know when they come to town. Go a different route than downtown and get over yourself. 99% of the bikes are ridden by sunday riders, doctors, lawyers, etc. Bikes are expensive to purchase and to maintain. On a side note, I know that some of you think that some of the motorcycle “clubs” are gangs and participate in illegal activities… Well, I have just one thing to say about the 1%ers, they have the greatest pride for our country than any other “gang” deemed by the federal government. 1%ers may not like America’s government or following it’s rules, but if any foreign entity tried invading the U.S. they would defend her with the same patriotic energy that our military would. So, if that ever happens and if (a really, really big if) our military gets overwhelmed (I don’t know maybe they are just spread out on too many fronts. Hmm… sounds like now) guess who I’ll be hanging out with. (Most 1%ers were/are ex-military)

P.S. if you don’t believe me do some research and check out the “Freedom Riders.”

Today is art post day. I’m sitting at a coffee shop trying to think of something neat to write about and I am drawing a huge blank. So… here you go, enjoy.

Here’s an old painting that I am attempting to complete.
