The Visitors...

I am visited by a unique group of eclectic Visitors. Some visit by day, and some by night. Some are very stealthy - and some more bold. They come out of the shadows, out of the bushes, out of the trees… Some come out of the sky.

Even though I live within the City Limits (only 15 minutes from Downtown) The Visitors come and visit me every day and every night.  They creep, craw, walk, slither and fly.

They know the Day and know the Night. They carefully chose ther visits…

This is a visual list of some of The Visitors:

LOST Thoughts - and darker concepts...

I rewrote bits and pieces of this since first published.

So… It seems that perhaps, LOST did not really have a game plan from day one (as they did in The Prisoner, for instance) and those in charge tied up as much as they could, considering that several occurrences and facts within the story were a bit contradictory.

My Choice of Ending: After two hours of a good season finale, LOST fell a little short and delivered a feel-good ending that really did not add up to the complete accumulated timeline and story facts. I imagined a bit darker ending - where at the very end, you would have Jack, and perhaps Desmond sitting on the beach and Desmond asks: “Why won’t you let me leave?” in fantastic Jacob / MIB fashion.

Ending the show with everyone being in Purgatory (or, more realistically perhaps – the Astral) and then moving on… For one thing, for all of them to create their Thought Form Reality within the Astral, they already must have known “where” to “meet” within such said “Reality” – which would really defeat the whole deal of: A place where you could find each other. Let me state that again. Oh, never mind. Just reread it.  The ending did however fit with the whole Dharma Buddhism aspect.

One little pet peeve of mine with some of the viewers is that many posted after the finale: “Oh, I was right. I had this idea in Season 2.” Meaning, that everyone was dead and that they were in Purgatory. Actually, this isn’t the case at all. They were NOT dead on the island. Some died on the island (Such as Jack) and some died much later - Hurley, Kate, Desmond, etc. Some even died off of the island – such as Kate, Desmond, Sawyer, Richard, etc.

I really expected a much stranger and more honest ending. The Light could have been Alien or technological in nature – or perhaps more in line with Ancient Jinn Myths. The Wheel that changes the Dimensional qualities of Time Displacement..? What happened there? It was too good of an idea to abandon. And, all this talk about “The Rules” and what about Richard Alpert (and not Richard Alpert/Ram Dass – though, that would be very interesting), Egyptian Statues, and: What is the Island? Excuse me, but: What the hell is the Island!

I feel that they took the easy way out (and we should have seen it coming with names like: Jack Shepard and Christian Shepard). Touching - yes. A good ending - well...

Oh, for those who still don’t get it: They did NOT die when the plane crashed on the Island.

One last thought: Was it really all about Jack? Lost opened with Jack opening his eyes – and ended with jack closing his eyes. In one way, it was about Jack. In other ways, it wasn't of course...

Lab Monkey Death Dream

This was Painted several years ago in protest, when I read a report of animal abuse: Hideous experiments on Monkeys, Dogs and other animals. Many Artists who paint dark destructive scenes have a soft spot for animals. I do believe that in today’s society, there are other ways to sufficiently gain lab results without abusing animals.

The Frog Pond Mystery

I built a small Pond about 4 years ago and surrounded it with Rose, Lavender, Mint and other blooming plants. It has a fountain in the center and was used basically for decoration. A couple years ago, a bunch of Water Frogs moved in. I am not sure where these frogs came from, as the closest water source is a small creek about two blocks away. I end up with about 6 Frogs each year – and after mating season, a pond full of Tadpoles.

The Gothic Steampunk Gardens

Most of my Gardens are not really Gothic or Steampunk. However, I have started to incorporate Gothic and Steampunk elements into some of the Mini Gardens. Here are just a couple photos of the beginning works. I will Blog more about the Gardens and share more Photos as the Gardens progress...

The Beauty of Travel

I have traveled quite a bit in my life. From Miami to NY to San Francisco to much of the United States - the Bahamas; Mexico; Prague; London; Paris; Belgium; Copenhagen, Norway, Sweden, Scotland, Spain, Switzerland… The list goes on.

I would really love to inspire others to get off their Ass and Travel! The world is an amazing place to visit. The Map is NOT the Territory – see it in person. Live in another country for a while – experience this planet. I have lived in and visited many places. Enjoy this huge mud ball floating through space. It is quite an experience!
