My letter to my democratic senator from New York

I'm leaving the Democratic party because it started resembling the communist party I run away from:

1. Political persecution of political opponents.
2. Censorship and suppression of speech.
3. Tools of propaganda like "woke" and "misinformation".

You should be building factories and high speed rail and not importing illegal migrants and performing operations on children. You let the country be led by a demented individual who can barely climb stairs let alone lead a nation.

For only a few years you literally destroyed New York City, it has turned into a dystopian nightmare from movies with lawlessness, joblessness, inflation. Walgreens looks like a prison not like a drugstore.

I've seen it all before where the communist party would come up with all kind of weird agendas for people to follow instead of common sense.

I'll fight you turning America into a communist tyranny with all I have got including voting for Trump whom I hate from the bottom of my heart. But you must be stopped.

I want to be successful at the market

To find the perfect olive oil for 10 leva per kilo, nice big red ripe tomatoes for five leva per kilo, good plums and fresh parsley. My biggest success so far was the olive oil and tomatoes. In New York City I would have killed for a good tomato.

Changing my mom's diapers is just as meaningful as my Mars paintings

My brother and I have been taking turns at the hospital, him during the night and me during the day. Saving the life of our mom is just as meaningful as finding the meaning of the Universe. Perhaps this is the meaning of the universe.

Now we are home and Mom's better thank God. She goes to the restroom with the walker by herself but still needs the pads. The surgery has been really hard on her, five and a half hours at 85 years old.

4 months after losing our dad we just banded together. Although we have nothing in common and this is the first time in more than 35 years that we are all together. We went through so much for the past 3 months, including our moms fits when she had terrible reaction from pain medication and went crazy in the hospital climbing the bed still full of tubes.

We Find meaning in daily tasks like shopping feeding mom cleaning mom giving her medication and having dinner at night. Doing laundry, hanging laundry to dry and vacuuming the house. We take turns changing the catheter.

I haven't had a single panic attack or depression episode.

I cherish these moments.

Christianity debeastified humanity

I'm sure many hundreds of years in the future people will look at our wars and wince, just like we wince at the gladiator games of Rome. But then we'll have the universe at our feet, roaming galaxies and having so much fun we will not have time for killing.

Antipool

The purpose of travel is not to get yourself an expensive room or pool and sit in it. In fact, this is absolutely the saddest experience you could possibly get out of your free time.

On the contrary, to really enjoy your time off you need to meet new people and make merry. That could mean gathering around tables with strangers sipping wine and having conversation, it could mean walking with strangers along a path and exchanging your most intimate dreams. It could mean sitting around in a circle and talking about life and everything.

I believe our biggest disease in the US is loneliness and isolation. This is the biggest killer.

And because the news is full of strangers committing heinous acts the media is conditioning us that the human being is some sort of a beast.

We sit on the couches and watch how on television there is a parade of felons.

Forget that, get out of your living room and out of your couch and go meet people and drink some wine.

You know how in these magazines or whatever I don't know,  Instagram? They show lonely people in front of pools, especially Infinity pools and I'm thinking why on earth would you spend the most precious time of your life sitting alone up to your waist in water?

You'd sit there for like an hour or two but what after that?

If you want to experience relaxation in water I highly recommend a Korean bath house. Korean baths are the opposite of the Infinity pool experience in the sense that it is a communal experience but a very relaxing one.

Mom is recovering from a major surgery in the hospital and my brother and I take turns taking care of her. I came up with a basic tenet of life - be devastatingly happy when you're not in pain

Today is September 9th 2024. I think I came down with COVID for the past week or so but my mom got positive. Who knows if she got it from me. Who knows if I have covid even.

I went to get some tea and climbing the stairs up through the surgical units in the hospital I could hear people yelping in pain.

There were other people telling them to shut up. And as I was climbing the stairs I decided that a main tenet in life - be happy, outrageously happy, when you're not in pain.

I love space

I love space, I love all about the Cosmos and the Universe. It doesn't make me feel small. It is no coincidence I worked on Star Wars as a commercial artist. I wasn't merely loitering around the Presidio falling into the Sarlacc pit.

I dreamed to become an astronaut when I was little. I became a painter instead, next best thing.
