Basic Info BioThis is one place where I come to scribble and play before I die and forget all that once was.
I don’t know exactly how I should live.
I won’t pretend to know how anyone else should live.
All I know is how I do live.
And within the lines is a slice.
In any hour, on any issue of your life, you are free to think or evade that effort.
What does it mean when a whole culture dreams the same dream?

antivists - Vent and rant, learn about the consumerist, materialistic, politically upset world we live in. – 48 billion dying of success, 48 billion dying of failure.
ethics_vs_law You Be The Judge.
antiadvertising - Advertising never looked so good.
femalearchetype - A Backlash towards a patriarchal society.
womenscenter - Personal and professional advice for women from women.(Safespace)

FAV FLASH MOVIE SITES, WATCH THEM AND BEHOLD:
http://uploads.ungrounded.net/165000/165898_smile_s92.swf - SMILE! - (Click UNDER the word play to start.) Depressing and true to life as hell, its a cross between 1984 and clock work orange. Short too.
Feel no shame for what you love.
Feel no shame for who you are.
Internalizing images from advertising and integrating that into a set of expectations about who they were supposed to be.
Million dollar images telling us who we are supposed to model ourselves after and what we need to buy to accomplish just that.
False needs and false promises, generated by a consumer driven culture, which cultivates weakness within a person and then exploits it.
When the creativity stops. That's when you begin to die.
