Who Hijacked Reality / #685 So I think I am a guitar GOD or so I have been told.

Journal Entry #685

August 26th, 2012 

Actually I would say my son Zack is more of a guitar god and can play circles around me. Music for me is a passion as it should be for all musicians. It is an extension of who I am. All my emotions flow through the music. All my thoughts flow through the music and in essence I flow through the music.

Not being able to play for me would be akin to losing my limbs.

If for even just one moment I can bring a connection to another through my music it is all worthwhile and I have done this more than once. I do not play or create for fame or money. If that is to come then it will come I play for the love of playing for the journey of expression.

All the arts should exemplify this extension and for me they do. They all combine into one creating a piece of art that is part of a greater body of work. To truly appreciate an artist you must look at their body of work and not just one song or painting.

I have amassed a rather large body of work that I am sure will stand the test of time. In fact I expect I will be noticed long after I am dead more so than now as it takes time for many to find and connect.

Playing on top of a mountain to myself is a freeing experience. I am truly at one with the natural world, with the universe during these moments. I hope that all can find their way of connecting. Dance alone; sing loud, do something to free yourself.

Please share the love and enjoy…

Who Hijacked Reality / #684 The bubble principal.

Tuesday, August 21st, 2012

Journal Entry #684

August 21st, 2012

Each day as I do my best to embrace life I see so many others caught up in the struggle to live in their bubbles. Many of these bubbles are so small that I can see the pain of existing in them in the eyes of those walking around.

I see glimpses of people who have their heads hanging down as to look up is a strain realizing they are trapped trying to escape but they simply don’t know how. Many are trying to find themselves. Often this is done later in life as they finally realize they have been living a lie but still they don’t know what to do and many often take the wrong path trying to escape.


Carrying all that baggage becomes difficult and pushing that bubble around becomes exhausting.

It really is not that hard and all we have to do is ask and seek answers to some central questions and they will define who we are. Once we know who we are the bubble is burst and life takes on new meaning. The drama, lies and secrets seem to disappear and a calm surrounds us.

Personally I figured this out very early in life;

I guess I figured out the secret if you will to be comfortable in your own skin. For me the journey started early say around 8 years old as I had some very traumatic events take place in my life.

These events propelled me to ask the big questions and seek out answers. I am still looking but along the way I solidified some very basic answers that have stood the test of time. I truly like myself. I always have…

This has served me well..

I can only be a guide for others and there are those moments when I see people escape that is uplifting for me but they are few and far between.

I will offer my thoughts in the pictures and words I have written lately but again I have one central message that really is the foundation for all we do. It will be up to you to find it for yourself.

I have my days as well but the core of who I am easily gets me through these little humps.

These pictures are all original and part of my daily life. Some I offer words and others I feel just stand well on their own.

Please share the love and enjoy…

Who HIjacked Reality / #683 Wasted days add up to a wasted life…

Journal Entry #683

August 15th, 2012

Each morning I wake up I embrace life, I embrace the process. I have a tentative plan for my day but really I have no idea what it will bring. I just get up and look forward best I can to what I will experience this day. We are all busy doing something even when we think we are doing nothing so I am trying to fill the moments I have with what life has to offer me. I call it the process and I go with it; I accept it and I embrace it.

So much to see and do and my days are easily filled. In fact very quickly things become so full I forget to sleep and eat at times until my body reminds me. I am meeting new people, making new friends and just seeing the area I live in. I am offering my thoughts to others and getting out there and sharing life. I document as many amazing moments as I can and then try and share them.

The life I had has disappeared replaced by a new life. I feel young and vibrant. I look better than I have in years. At this point many are at the stage of ignoring me, ignoring what I offer. I understand this as it is all part of the process. To be honest what I say scares people. I see it all the time. Never the less I just carry on and those that will be part of my journey will be there and those that are not will not. I have lost many along the way and at times this has weighed heavily on my heart but I can do nothing about this and just carry on. They will come around, I have no doubt about this as it feels like the calm before the storm but this will be a good storm.

My days are not wasted and truly I see that all my life has not been wasted as it has lead to this moment. I will offer more of my photos and insight. My words will ring true and those that see value in them will connect those that do not well that is just part of the process.

I am excited about each new day and I hope you are as well.


Thes photos are all original. I get out and find those moments to capture and then sometimes I come up with something to say which I offer in these great pics.

Please share the love and enjoy…

Who Hijacked Reality / #682 My new Camera, I love it..

Friday, August 10th, 2012

Journal Entry #682

August 10th, 2012

I have not bought myself a treat in such a long time. I used to set my eye on something and then save the money up for it practising delayed gratification but as one has a family and the process of trying to keep that family together you change habits. Money has been incredibly tight in starting over in the new town only buying what we need and only paying cash so we are back to a no credit policy and cash only. I set my sights on a new camera as my old one cannot do what I need it to do.

I waited until the prices dropped and dropped from $450.00 to on sale last week at $199.00 I took all my money I made from busking and I bought it and a new heavy duty tripod also on sale at 35% off so I got it for $55.00.

Well did I score as my new camera had features I did not even know about and I love it. I am out documenting life and it appears I have a good eye for photography even though I would not call myself a photographer. I just like taking pictures of the process of life.

The key for me is getting a good clean picture and then playing with it in photo shop. This is where I have my fun.


I love where I live and I am not going back. It feels as if I should have been here my entire life. I am going to explore the world, document life and grab every moment. Those that want to join me are welcome those that do not well do your thing…


Hope you enjoy these mom;

Who Hijacked Reality / #681 The process of the universe…

Wednesday, August 8th, 2012

Journal Entry #681

August 8th, 2012

More so than not I am saying the same basic message at its core. I am trying as many ways as I can to get this across for discussion for verification and to just put it out there. I have come to the conclusion that this is the foundation and all else will flow from this in life, in our understanding and in the universe itself.

There is a process to life, a flow or the truth that to the best of our knowledge cannot be denied but understood and followed. We may not like it or understand most of it but that will not change it but only be part of it.

Recognition of this process as I call it;

The process of life, the flow cannot be denied.

Embrace it as it will take you places you have only dreamt of, only imagined and thought you would never experience.

Gary David Currie

 

Simplicity is the key to understanding… Understanding is the path to enjoying the process; the process is what we all must follow…

Gary David Currie

Now what that process involves is the journey of discovery but there are some very blatant things that we simply cannot deny and live to talk about. These are the obvious rules in the universe that our ancient ancestors acknowledged but probably did not understand.

All I do is point out the ones I discover and acknowledge and that others have as well while the vast majority of humanity denies them. It doesn’t really matter if they do or not again it will be part of the process.

Now I am not going to get into what the process entails at this time as it is vital to agree that the process exists before trying to understand it… Most will deny this as well. This simply is insanity, delusional and at best silly to engage in but humanity excels at these traits.

As I have said you are either all in or all out.. One foot in the water must lead to a choice of going in or getting out.

Denial of reality or the process causes the vast majority of our misery, our pain and our suffering. When we acknowledge the process we stand a better chance at happiness, less suffering and less pain. Why we continue to bring this upon ourselves is incredibly stupid.

So you will understand what I am referring to I will offer some examples and this will lead to the discussion on free will at some point.

We are bound by the rules of the universe. It is these rules that allow us to exist.

I will make it relatable;

We must eat, we must drink and we must sleep. We will grow old if we are lucky enough to be born and we will die at some point along the way. We are bound by these basic rules.

Nature will do as it will and pretending it will not do as it will, will not change it at all.

Now apply this to the rest of the universe….

The process will happen so I suggest you recognize it and your self induced fears will lessen, you self induced anger will lessen and you will recognize what life has to offer.

The universe will always seek balance

Once this is accepted the discussion is about figuring out these rules and how we fit into the process.
