R.I.P Jet Harris......

What is Weird?

What right has someone got to say that someone else is weird? What is weird and who is weird? I have been studying this question and 1 answer shines brightly! Jealousy is rife in this world and ‘weird’ is what a dull and narrow minded person calls someone who is different from them! ‘I am quiet and meek so that is obviously normal and that person is dressed oddly and talks loudly which is different from me and as such is weird’! What are you; a person who sees the world as foreboding and dangerous full of people who can’t be trusted? Or, a person full of life and noise who loves people and as such is weird?

Weird is a derogatory term for character!

Life is an Adventure.

Travel leads to adventure and adventure is a vital part of life. To keep open minded, accepting and understanding include travel which leads to adventure in your life. See far off lands and be amazed by diverse sights. Speak to new people who have a different outlook than you do. See diverse ways of living, hear varied languages and taste various foods. Understand different cultures and notice all things....keep this life of adventure up and you will comprehend and empathise and be an interesting being.

I love travel and have made my life a total adventure, everything’s amazing. Life is in no way a serious thing, it is our one big chance to achieve. Why spend your one chance angry, sad, serious or miserable instead make this one chance fun with dear friends and make the whole thing shine and shine and shine.

The biggest adventure of all......love....

Good Timing.....

It is Saturday...Saturday the 5th of March, March already? My my, time flys by at alarming speed!

My life flys by and the seconds become minutes, the minutes become hours, the hours days, the days become weeks, the weeks months and the months years, time races on by in a fuzzy distorted haze! My life will be over before I know it! But I’m gonna have a ball! I’m gonna see all things, taste all things, smell all things, feel all emotions, love the deepest love and never hurt no one in words or deeds but live a full and truly brilliant life! My short life will be full of achievement and love! A life of accepting everything I say and do and regretting nothing! This I say, on this day.. and every day!

I’m currently writing about British Rock ‘n’ Roll star Billy Fury, born on Smithdown Road in Liverpool.

I have painted some... Día de los Muertos, ate homemade scones with coffee, day becomes night and we will drink gin with a meal of chilli and feel awful good!

Scones made by F. Culshaw.

Rest pretty baby....

I will take a moment from the hustle and bustle of life to say rest in peace to the bright, glowing Hollywood movie actress and gleaming star Jane Russell.

Mental Processes.

Hey Buddy....hey You!

We are all different, the same make but different models. We all see life differently and we all react to situations differently and think differently and we are all.....different. To produce art must feel different for everyone, with different mental processes working as ideas mix and one lights up in your mind. To me a painting takes on a life of it’s own and although my brush strokes are painting it, I seem to have little say in the finished product. I start with an idea but this idea can change drastically. I can guide it back but off it goes again.

There is nothing high-brow or la-dee-da about this statement, it is the truth I say. Art is a living thing. The strangely artistic part of the human brain is let loose when the freedom of art is released. Contortions and twisted mental processes formulate as art is formed....

Illusion, confusion....which way do I turn?

Love and Passion.

At the Rum Bar in Vegas....the passion of true friendship.

Life is so desperately short, blink and its over! You must notice all things and taste all things. Feel all emotions, feel the warmth and cold, see the sun and feel the rain. Never be bland and non committal! Get involved in life and know that you’re getting involved and blame no one else for your own actions. Fill your life with fire and deep, deep love! Cos when it’s gone....it’s gone!
I love taste and love food with a blinding passion. Homemade pizza, pasta, curry, chilli or just beans on toast. Passion in love, passion in music, passion in clothes and passion in all of life.

I’m hungry.......so hungry.....something Mexican maybe.....mmmmm mmmmmm......sure...
