    Occaisionally, when I am in the perfect mood, I ponder what my meaning on this planet is. Of course, I can never get too far before I start feeling depressed and meaningless, kind of like how a bug would feel when it realizes that nothing it does really accomplishes anything. I'll leave the matter of imminent squishing out of that, as well. Well, in any case, at that point I start doing something. Drawing, writing, either poetry or prose, composing music, playing music, practicing fencing, travelling, anything, to either purge the tainted feeling I experience or at least get my mind off it. They say that the tortured poet is the best poet. I wonder if that applies to artists and musicians?

    I like your art. frankly I wish could draw like that! I also like the fact that you ponder the meaning of the planet. It seems to seep into my own thoughts from time to time as well. Keep up the good work and the interesting thoughts.
    here's one of my favorite sayings...it might give you something else to ponder about:
    'The true voyage of discovery consists not in finding new landscapes, but in having new eyes.'
    8 Mar 2003:-) Joshua Moser
    Keep in mind, when your pondering, that humanity possesses an intelligence that has not been observed anywhere else in the universe. Blaise Pascal (an old scientist who did work with pressures) once said that human beings are greater than all the stars in the heavens because we know of them and of ourselves, while they know nothing at all. Some animals have concepts of self (such as dolphins and monkeys) but their perceptions of self do not move them to draw. Perhaps your lack of fulfillment when pondering the meaning of this world comes from not recognizing the things which are truly important.

    If you visit my site you'll see that I'm more of a philosopher than I'll ever be as a writer. I like your drawings though, especially 'My Insignia' (though I personally would have made the blade longer)

    And you like to sing!?! That is just awesome! What kind of music do you like? You said you"play music." Does that mean an instrument? I play violin. And I do love to sing, too!

Thanks for your comments -- and in response to your question, I've played classical piano for about as long as you've been alive. 2 I love to sing as well!

    I really love how well done all of your pictures are. The are all very defined and look like they took a very long time. Well done on all of them and I hope to see more from you soon. It would be a shame if we didn't.
