Art Imitates Life and Not the Other Way 'Round

Art Imitates life and not the other way 'round.

People Create art from what we know of the world. 

Art isn't showing us something we haven't already seen.

Stories can't be written about things never experienced or learned. 

Heroes chasing monsters; People falling in love

Starry Night or the Mona Lisa.

It's all based on what the known universe has already shown us.

Strip away the aesthetics of a hero and what's left? 

The concept of morality, justice, right and wrong.

Strip away the aesthetics of a monster and what's left? 

The concept of immorality, injustice, hate, fear, and darkness.

All things found within the human condition.

12 different films are based on a real man that perpetrated heinous acts of violence.

Ed Gein, for all intents and purposes, was a monster.

Photos of war, paintings of flowers, and sculptures of the male and female form all imitate life.

Life doesn't imitate are, no, it's the other way 'round.

Here's Are Some Thing I've Learned From Growing My Cannabis Plant

-

Growing my plant turned out to be a complete waste of time. The whole appeal of DIY growing was not having to spend money on bud. From what I understand, a plant can yield about a pound of marijuana which would have lasted me at least 6 months, however, my plant turned out to be a male which is basically useless.  I know, I know...what do you mean useless? Well, male plants aren't the ones we smoke; it's the female plants that produce the potent sticky icky bud we all love.  Yes, I'm disappointed that my own grow was a bust, however, I figured I could at least share the things I learned along the way.  Male Plants versus Female Plants If you happen to come across a seed, or two, there's no way to tell whether or not a plant is male or female until it starts to grown, so my first tip is that if you only have the one seed, pray...pray real hard or skip planting all together because if you do end up with a male plant, it's more of a hassle than it's worth.  Serious...

Double Standards and Bullsh!t

I came across this post last night in which a young woman was responding to a comment. I don't know if the comment was on one her posts or some else's, however, the gist of the comment was that white women are married before they graduate nursing school.  Her response to the comment was to say that a man who proposes to a woman while she is in nursing school, especially if she's just about to graduate, is looking to "secure the bag". She tells the viewers that these men have a plan and that plan is these soon-to-be, or would be, nurses.  She then goes on to tell her viewers that she knows about these men because she hears all of her co-workers complaining about them. She then goes on to give a few examples one such being that a co-worker of hers could only take 8 weeks of maternity leave because her husband doesn't make enough.  The video is below. You can view it on my Instagram page as a remixed reel. Anyhow, the video got me to thinking about how well it wo...

More Emails, More Accusations Against Russia, and another American election…

As we get closer to the election, the news about Hunter Biden is starting to heat up. Emails have surfaced that indicate that Biden may have arranged a meet between his dad and some Ukrainian businessmen that he was work for or with at the time. I had a chance to look over the emails and there wasn’t anything overtly alarming in them. Most of them seem like normal business emails, so I am left wondering where all these ties to wrongdoing link all the way to Joe Biden. Here’s what I know: I know that Hunter Biden had a drug addiction, I know that he landed a position with foreign company and that foreign company happened to be a little bit shady, and I know that during this time, at least at some point, Joe Biden was Vice President. I know that’s not a ton to go on but based on the facts, those are the only ones concrete enough to build any real plausible story from. Based on those concrete facts, let’s talk about those emails and what the implications are. People are saying that Joe ...
