This is a special, secret code that has just been uncovered from several ancient texts. If you unscramble the letters you will find something that works much similar to the prophecy of w_sted t_me.

If you act seriously enough and put lots of eyes into frightful unknowns, a substantial amount of mystery and wonder can be accumulated. A great way to introduce exotic new coffee blends.

Rain, rain raid.. Last night I drove through a thunderstorm and then proceeded to have dreams regarding the very same thunderstorm. The flashes of lightning lit up the entire plane-view only to recede into a vast thickness of fog that the headlights could not pierce through, a fun process when weaving in and out through the frog infested back roads. Today I worked on a bicycle and proceeded to use zip ties to ghetto rig a milk crate to the back of the frame and then continue in creating some digital imagery which has been my calling over the last few days. Why this would be interesting to anybody is beyond me, but I've read more mundane things within the 'blogosphere'.


Thinking about a concept I may greedily have felt was original, though possibly it is not very original at all, I wanted to form a use of 'over-advertising.' A very 'to-the-throat' adoption of reversal of the anti-corporate stance or much too serious protest of companies. 'Over-advertising' would rather plaster advertising slogans and company logos virtually everywhere to such an overwhelming effect that the 'overdoing it' method will possibly allow more of a result than the dry process of screaming or protest. It would of course need a much more slogan friendly term than 'Over-advertising.' A branch of culture-jamming, I'm sure the legality of it would not be in too much of a concern if in fact that many more bright smiley yellow M's were to be strapped across America, companies would not take action. This is of course only in pilot-mode and all backfires should be thought out and the percentage of people that take it literally or too seriously will either result in proof or disaster.

Also, I started thinking about the horror of blogs and youtube accounts, about how many people's creations would go down the drain if a 'terms of services' changeup of a minute kind were to be affixed. Since only so few sites are the driving force of such a wide host of storage or public access it is interesting to see how with such an ease social networking sites can raft a population of internet users from one dock to another. I also thought about facebook being plunged from existence then realized that if this were a Luddite mentality I'd be a hypocritical cunt for writing a blog post about it.

Back to the image:
The eye is of 'Vinnie,' A feline not that far from being similar to the ancient cat god from the wisdom laden tv cartoon Top Cat. The use of fingers and hands has been a common theme for many recent pieces of imagery.
I'm going to use a bunch of conspiracy-related labels to relate to this image post just to see what the results regard after having posted this. The post that receives the most views on this blog is my write up regarding DNA, and while subjects like that fascinate me to no ends, it is interesting to see how views change so quickly and one moment something of complete interest can later be questionable. I moved from analyzing such things in write ups to questioning them in a personal regard, so whatever expectations there are of this blog is always news to me. I'm sure if there are any 'regulars' which i doubt, the constant change-ups are a bit confusing, but this is not based around a sole topic or mood, just whatever occurs in my adventure and attempt to keep it from being as boring as I can manifest.

Semi-related, at the moment, the observation of 'worry' being an addiction is rather apparent. This does relate to the image in a sense because if the will or mentality of perception relates a reaction to it, being overly-serious or worried upon something that does not have to be so concrete stirs the mind up to 'reaction' mode. Instead of taking an image or viewpoint and affixing your own use or interpretation, you are guided by that very worry to be convinced that nothing more can be done with the object if certain guidelines are fenced up.
 
The serious side of this imagery is that you can take something that is an 'eye' and it doesn't have to be instigating forms of mystery but can in fact be fun or involve the empowerment of self rather than instantly thinking the word 'THEM!' The ridiculous side of this image is instantly thinking the word 'THEM!' and providing the power of an image with an impression that can be flexed due to perception. This is a two sided coin that somehow landed upwards. This seems like deja-vu x20.

One thing I hate the most is when a person who creates an image goes on and on about what the image may refer to or attempts to make a suggestion as to how the viewer may perceive the image thus distracting the flow of insight that may come from the viewer's imagination. With that, I will allow myself to forget that an 'edit post' button exists.
The next post will be another image without any words following it.
If I can be blessed with more experiences to allow myself to struggle a year later trying to write up another travel article, it will be a very cherished opportunity. Try walking through the next rainstorm that comes near you. It is very refreshing and cleansing to overcome that common taboo of 'getting wet' within the rain drops of nature.
