I love you 2008.
I knew 2008 was going to be good. Established and on a roll, my most common answer to the “How are you” inquiries has been, “Flowing.”
I learned a substantial amount of time ago to never underestimate the importance of one’s own happiness. Decisions need to be made to promote good energy within oneself in order to make it felt by those around you. This year was good for that, and good for me as a man and an artist working on securing my own identity, vision and voice.
This blog culture is a funny thing. I was griping about it yesterday. It’s simply one more quarter in the narcissistic, everyone look how fabulous I am, jukebox. For the same reasons I love it, I hate it, and there are times when my senses cajole me to the point of wanting to quit it altogether. It’s then that I realize I need to maintain focus, and allow myself and my voice access to this forum, while perpetually aiming to share the love, art, and beauty that surrounds me. That’s it. I don’t want to be fancy. I don’t want to look like I’m trying to broadcast everything that happens to me. I just want to share.
We Are Love is not about me. It’s about what is happening around me. It’s about the flow that’s constant, particularly in the city of New York, and about what’s sitting out there undiscovered. Of course there are times when I am a part of what’s happening around me. That’s actually a rather silly statement, but I guess that’s just how it works, and I guess I’m just trying to justify this self perceived narcissism. What I’ve really been trying to do this year is ride this beautiful wave of life objectively. Writing about it really puts me in my place. Thanks so much for coming along.
These are a few of my favorite photos from 2008. There are so many more that I like just as much, but these ones happened to pop up when called upon.
If you agree, disagree, or want to say happy twenty ought nine, please do. Always wanna hear from you.
Peace, Love, and Wildest dreams in 2009.
