extermination proclamation

I WON'T GIVE UP! I WILL NOT FAIL TO EXPLORE! For every opportunity that you find yourself beginning to bail out on, you must take on double-fold.

I WILL NOT ANALYZE! There's something to be said of the initial action of impulse. Don't think that it's not worthy of making. Don't eliminate what hasn't even been finished.

I WILL NOT STOP MAKING! It's easy to lay down the hands when you get that instant pang of 'i don't really feel like doing this'. Don't listen to the mania.

I WILL NOT STOP EXPERIENCING! Ignore impulses to numb the body against your state of being. Reach out and absorb the here and now. That moment won't show its face ever again. Learn, feel, fall in love, abhor. Once you do this, you've become fully alive.

I WILL NOT DOUBT MYSELF! There's a reason the spark has been ignited! Whether or not it will be the most successful operation is not the point. Investigate!

I WILL NOT FEAR FAILURE! Why fear it, especially when it can be your fuel? Failure can be the best teacher. View it as a harbinger of lessons to be learned.

I WILL NOT DISCLAIM! Accept every fiber of your being. It is your makeup. It is the fundamental truth to your creations. Reveal it! No sense in hiding what truly motivates you.

I WILL NOT FORGET! Don't forget the things that have happened to make you who you are. Reference them. Nurture them. They may hurt at times but it is healthy and will help you draw nigh to a higher realm of existence.

Make... make... make... make...
Push... push... push...
Absorb... absorb...

NEW ART...
It's not very simple or possible for me to say what represents 'new art'. I've pondered and entertained the idea for a week now with the conclusion that art just seems to be old and new at every moment of history, the present, and the future. There's always a reference to old, hope for new, hope for a better, fascination with the worst, obsession with darkness and distortion, preaching the 'gospel' of the next mode of salvation.  The beauty of art is that there is always a rebirth of similar intentions, aesthetics, and so on and so forth.

Pin me down! Make me tell you something?...

Start: Please press play... When Water Comes to Life-Cloud Cult
it's hard to track the beginnings down, what goes around comes around and you can never be sure where this thing initiated itself, but it rushes around circularly, winding, winding, twining around my obsessed mind and knowing that it will find refuge and sew a whole crop full of creations. the overwhelming children of imagination wander through the forests and I hear there whispers. at first, the voices are jumbling, mumbling muffled sounds- these are the ideas that push through the walls in my brain and eventually drip out my eyes, ears, mouth and nose. they're pouring out uncontrollably like water into a pierced bowl, cascading mermaids of nerves, excitement, and impulse.

slow down the speed, recognize what it is you're doing jesse...THEN LOSE IT! go go go, follow your intuition, your soul will take over your mind. let the mind go on vacation and travel to the memories of dreams dreaming and schemes scheming. hello poppy, hi mustache, hey clocks, take me to another time. I  want to go to the faire, the circus, the underground of misfit toys.

oh, what's this? a something in front of me? what are you little buddy? where do you come from? I've felt you inside me before, I think.... no I'm sure of it. your were the fire burning in my belly, the white noise in my head. I dreamt of you and instantly fell into obsession. it's happening again... I'm giving you too much attention, you nag of a thing, to want to know you right now is a burden. please understand, it's detrimental to your evolution that I know you. wait... wade... weight... I've released you from my grip and now the circus calls...
