No Expectation Living

What Else Are You Too Smart For?

Ken's "VORTEX NO. 1"

I expected so much more...

I grew up in what I hoped to be the age of enlightenment, the "age of aquarius". They actually used to sing that it was the dawning of the age. Reasoning would win out over moronic interpretations and stridently destructive policy and thought. Then "all of a sudden" it was 2016 and my rose colored glasses caught fire and disappeared in a puff of acrid smoke.  

    Can you not enjoy today? Tomorrow they will tell you that your doom is imminent and each breath will be a struggle until your gasp is final. Does that mean your win at monopoly tonight is diminished? Are you too smart to play monopoly? What else are you too smart for? The point is this: I somehow expected a candle to improve my sex life. Now you might think that I'm not smart enough to play monopoly. But step back and replace the two words, candle and sex - with another set of words.  Maybe it's "better job" instead of candle or "life satisfaction" instead of "sex". Fixes are always just around the corner are they not? Maybe your life does not need so much fixing. Maybe it needs a little more living. Don't be so smart, at least not all the time.

     Ease up on expectations and live with your feelings - you might just find things that have always been there that you did not know existed - and lose things that you never had anyway. - M.H. Wheems

Ferman Finnegan:

The buddha guys running around talking "enlightenment" also were always begging for food or "alms" - am I right?

Dear Ferman: Yes that is true. Some were sent as beggars, others as kings and then some were named Ferman... Sorry I couldn't resist that...

ART No.1 - Frozen Sour Grapes

Where the Cosmic processes your ideas about art and fixes them - because they are wrong. Trust us.

What makes art?  An idea, and following the idea -  an execution. Many times of the artist who failed to make the king happy. Idea and the execution come together and generate emotion. This emotive quality according to folklore, legend and academia must be presently felt by onlookers, random museum staff and scholars alike in order for work to be called "a masterpiece" of art. It also helps for the piece to be rather large - like a shark in a tank full of formaldehyde or gigantic metallized balloon dog. Though this is not necessarily a requirement (see the Mona Lisa) it always helps to stir the senses when an item is fucking HUGE.

The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living by Damien Hirst

How did he get it to hang out in the very middle of the tank? All my dead fish turn sideways and float to the top. I have about ten tanks with dead fish and nobody buys. Is it in my presentation? I want to be an artist like Damien Hirst, you know, rich. Somebody told me to try oil painting but I'm allergic to linseed oil. I like the fish idea but my landlord is starting to freak out about the smell.

Race Oriented

When you say "race oriented" are we talking sports cars?

Herscel Ammitz comments:
I don't think it is quite fair to Steve. He didn't just wake up one morning and decide to become a racist asshole. I'm sure he had racist assholes for parents too, why not blame them? I always blame my parents when I get fired from work - just like my psychologist said everything stems from childhood, but it seems as though they fire me anyway. They never ask about my childhood.

 P.S. It's ok when Stevie talks about schvartzes but he shouldn't say "Jew boy" - that is mishegas.

Tyndale T. Jones says:
Whenever someone does evil they want to hide it, that's why Steve always wears the white hood when he is at Klan meetings...

Martin FRD Royale:
You can't prove it was me or Steve at that rally because you can't see thru our hoods. We make them thick so they don't catch fire easily. That is handy when you are burning a black church, or setting a big heavy cross on fire.

Donate Fencing - Yours and Your Neighbors!

Do you have fencing you can donate?

What about your neighbors fence? Do you ever see him using it? You can find fencing just sitting around not being used almost everywhere. Why don't you just take that fence down, roll it up and send it to the crisis zone? Patriots must step up and prove their "colors don't run" by putting up a big fence, brave and strong, to keep the scary immigrants out! Better yet - load it in a pickup truck and drive it to where the MS-13 caravan of gangsters are. They're selling the OxyContin that's killing us! Just ask Purdue pharmaceuticals, they will tell you the truth. They are coming for your women too - they are not just coming to pick lettuce folks, this is a national emergency! So if your neighbor objects when you rip up his fence ask him, "Are you a commie leftist?" Nobody wants to be called that, and in a fit of reverse "magafication" he will help you save the world (of your backyard in Brayingsville, Indiana) from the onslaught. The hordes of non-polish immigrants just waiting to catch you without your shotgun.

MS-13, is that the newest Microsoft version? I always knew Bill Gates was a closet liberal! Now he's selling OxyContin drugs with Mexican gangs? Who would have guessed!

MS-13 is a combo code word for the OS that is very fake news except for the evil libtard part.

TMITH Says:

Whenever I draw something crazy they want to pitch me into the Hudson, this guy Brueghel gets a FREE PASS just because it's five hundred years old or so. It just ain't fair!

Deegan says:

It's because your drawings are not crazy enough. You have to commit! We always want to pitch you into the Hudson, just in general.

On Fire! with Thomas Kinkade

Art Department

Thomas Kinkade painting inspired by Walt Disney's "The Sound of Music". No one on the cosmic staff had anything to do with it. We only looked at it because we were forced to by Bob.

The Von Trapp family apparently setting fire to their mansion to prevent the Nazi's from benefitting from it.

Phineas' Analysis:

     Thomas Kinkade was often referred to as "The Painter of Light©" - but why? . Kinkade made mega bucks selling gobs of prints, paintings and all manner of anything attached to his "art" and for good reason. Every day "people of the earth" like it. But how, by what machination? Critics far and wide (well wide enough) say people are drawn in by the "light" that appears in practically every one of his paintings. This "feature" is a commonality - obviously loved by many commoners.

     Years ago (many) back to when Kinkade was a Disney animation background artist, Walt came by and said, "Dammit Kinkade, I need those building windows to glow, to draw the audience into the scene." Kinkade readily began making every scene with a building in it "glow, like fucking hell" (his words) and thus began what he later termed as "the process".

     Take a close look at a few Kinkade paintings. Closer... Closer... You will notice something about the buildings interiors. What you will notice is that the buildings are ON FIRE! Once you look closely you want to do something, and that something is to call the fire department.
     People, like moths, are drawn to fires - like when you almost burned down the house that time...

      Kinkade left Disney just in time to avoid his own termination, but he never stopped with the flaming interiors. His methodology involved using the "Disney process" to create warm and wonderfully kitschy illustrations. Some elevate these to the level of  "fine" art because they have been duped by the fiery assault on their visual senses.

The whole damn village is on fire.

People simply cannot contain their curious wonder about these paintings. Why do they like to see them so much? The reality is they don't recognize that they are watching a display of arson, cute arson, but arson nonetheless.





*Deegan says that there is more artistic merit in a Popeil Pocket Fisherman® than any TK painting, and he just might be correct.

The sensual and torsional tension in the design of Ron Popeils' Pocket Fisherman is held in very high esteem among art critics worldwide.
