I’m an artist but I’m also extremely passionate about many other things including our country, our culture and where we are headed as a nation, and a world.  I react to so many things that it’s hard for me to narrow my view.  Some would call me spacey, some would say I have a keen sense of awareness, it’s probably a little of both; I simple cannot
compartmentalize my emotions about the things I love.  I used to be on fire, ready to take on the world, railing against inequality and complacency, but I’ve become another voiceless, complacent American.  I don’t stand up and vocalize, I don’t engage, I simply exist, something a person like me was NEVER born to do, yet, that is what I’ve done.  I’ve forgotten how to express me; that stops today.

I’m not a conformist, I’m just what you would call “ultra-considerate”, I’m painfully aware that I’m a lot to take in, I have very strong opinions and I’m somewhat stubborn, but I also don’t want to shove my big personality on people that are, for lack of a better word, sleeping.

So this blog, much like me is evolving, transitioning into a different species.  One of my greatest passions is art and anything that entails in any medium.  If I had to choose one “area” of my life to concentrate on (not gonna happen), it would be art; but there are too many other things to be said and too many other issues to talk about.  So how do you cross the 2 things, art and our ever changing culture?  
I haven’t been able to accomplish that  in this single blog, so I’ve decided to create a new blog (name and date TBA) that will be dedicated solely to my observances of our culture, and the world around us. I'm sure there will be a way to incorporate art into the new blog, but for now this is the easiest way for me to do this.
  
The “CR8TV1” blog will continue its metamorphosis into a blog devoted to arts, crafts, videos, music, poetry etc.  I invite you to journey with me on my latest adventure, fasten your seatbelts!

Off the wagon

Still off the wagon, off my routine, trying to find my way back to where I started.  I tried so hard not be a resolution statistic, but alas. I’m in the majority with those that had hopes and dreams for the new year, only to get to February and stall. 

Can you jump onto a moving wagon?

I haven’t given up though, stumbling blocks are part of the journey, subconsciously I "did" allow for them, just didn’t think they would be showing up this soon.    For now, writing is my refuge, a way to express my thoughts and to flesh out any ideas I might be having, thank goodness I still feel connected to this.

I find some comfort in allowing the world in because no one is listening right now except for me.  So here I am standing stark naked for the entire world to see, yet they haven’t even noticed yet.  Public Privacy
