HOME - A Date With The Planet



"Humankind has not woven the web of life.
We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.
All things are bound together.
All things connect."
-Chief Seattle, 1854



After ALL this... The spirits of the innumerable deceased Native Americans must be thinking that the civilized settlers are finally understanding what they were talking about.



The industrial revolution said "Let's dig a huge ditch and build a bridge over it, so we can finally walk across!"


The artist has always carried the responsibility, weather known or unknown to them, of externalizing the meeting place where the hard world of matter flirts with the soft world of the soul. Our understanding of the world, our pace of learning, and our pace of living move faster and faster, so fast that the speed of sound can be left behind with the singer. Our knowledge is deep enough to know that these words painted on your screen are simply dances of light. And the only thing we can say for certain is that we're perceiving them.

In today's world scientific introspection is breaking down the illusions of matter. The scientist, through the course of history has, rightly or wrongly, been labeled as someone with hard and crude views of life. The scientist increasingly finds himself sewn together with the artist. The closer or the more distant he or she peers the more artistic scientists need to be in their approach. In turn artists have had their own stigmas throughout history. They are crazy! They cut off their ears and send them to chicks. They drown in their own vomit. They have unprotected sex. etc... But, today's artists are more responsible than that and find themselves faced in the same predicament. The more the artist perfects his craft the more he or she finds a "science", or method to their madness.

In these modern times the artist employs more tools born out of science than ever before such as computers, lights, and sound systems. Although the medium an artist employs is not the art itself (Who can say what art is, or isn't anyway?) the artist increasingly finds him or herself interdependent with science, usually in the form of technology.
(My only complaint about this is the f**king Auto-tune! Ugh! ... If you don't recognize, you're in a lot of trouble if you ask me.)

Lets do away with the "Mad Scientist" view of genius, and lets make benevolence, and philanthropy prerequisites in order to deem someone or something "genius". Now... This documentary "HOME" is F**KING GENIUS! And it's a story of all of the above, Art, Genius, Madness, and the illusions we've been living by, regardless of what you do.

"We are living in exceptional times. Scientists tell us that we have 10 years to change the way we live, avert the depletion of natural resources and the catastrophic evolution of the Earth's climate.

The stakes are high for us and our children. Everyone should take part in the effort, and HOME has been conceived to take a message of mobilization out to every human being." -Yann Arthus-Bertrand

Masters of All

  The tragedy in people who become influential and start a podcast is that they think that their expertise transfers to a host of other topics. Jordan Peterson is definitely an expert when it comes to psychology, and he has some beneficial philosophies. However, him, like Joe Rogan (Although Joe Rogan repeatedly admits that he's 'just a comedian but with like a billion people listening to his podcast) who hosts guest that make dubious and sensational claims, Jordan thinks that he's got the lowdown on politics, and other fields of science. We've definitely reached a point in podcasting where it's at least the beginning of podcasters becoming the mainstream media. Judging by how many podcasters refer to the mainstream media, you'd think that FOX and CNN would have substantial influence, but when was the last time that you watched either of those? (Unless you're 53+ as their demographic has been older since I started counting in 2003.) People with Podcasts that

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day To all of you who break your back for your family Anguish, so real to you You shield it from your loved ones Like a duck, your feet flap furiously beneath the water Meanwhile above, your little ones only see a smooth ride Happy Father's Day to those of you who lost in court That sacrificed everything, who you are, the path that you were on Tolerating and enduring an awful relationship To make for your children, a more enjoyable life And all to often, only to come out the other end at a deficit In the eyes of the court, simply because you are a man Happy Father's Day to the fathers in history Whom either from ignorance or pride, went off to war to protect their family Especially to those who were drafted While others complained back home About anything that was back home They were taken, by force And were left no choice but to go up and over the trench Into an onslaught of gunfire, and at gunpoint behind If they came home, they came home from a place wh

Is Your Government A Narcissist?

  First of all, I apologize. Writing is a craft that takes ample time to do well, but I live in time and society that necessitates swift communication. The two don't go well together. I'm a single father who also looks after his elderly father, so there will be some grammatical mistakes, as well as composition related ones. Please endure with me through a semi edited writing. UNO There's a reporter who's controversial Tucker Carlson. I couldn't tell you why he's controversial, I just know that he is by how people talk about him. I also heard that Tucker Carlson is on the "far right". In our ZANY society, if you identify as the opposing party, in this case that would be "the left", it is almost socially mandatory that an individual express negativity for that person. Because if you don't someone might look at you suspiciously. DOS There's a personality disorder call "Narcissist" . They come in a couple of flavors. Tucker Car
