qui est la fanatique?

in the u.s. today
really, truly believing in something = fanatic.

there are
environmental fanatics,
religious fanatics
and
sports fanatics -
to name a few.

but i must say
the only ones not
being wildly and widely criticized
are the sports fanatics.

yesterday, after having
quite a good release,
i started formulating
how i yearn to be in the art
world.
i know i should take this
one step @ time,
but like i always do...
i think ahead,
sometimes too much.

i started thinking
where does everything come from?
how is it made?
how does its production
impact the planet?
how can we reuse & recycle more
and consume less?
how can i create
with what i already have?
where does everything go
when it's thrown away
or recycled?
how can we stop the
useless concept of
throwing away
and introduce & spread
the revolutionary and practical concept of
reusing, recycling & reducing?

buying new things
will not fill that
gaping hole within us.
shopping ourselves into
oblivion
will not make
everything disappear,
surprisingly.
buying all the
environmental,
sustainable,
organic
and green products
WILL NOT SAVE
our planet.

but why must passion
be considered wrong,
crazy, &
looked down upon?

passion fills me
from within
and is aching
to take a
furious hop,
jump &
a skip, as well.

b/c
what is life
w/out some
furious skipping?
---
and giraffes.
i think i'd like to do something
with giraffes.
big, beautiful graceful
creatures
that seem so light to me,
yet so strong.

and let's not forget
the circus.
who doesn't have fun
at the circus?
---
oh dear, dear, dear...
i think
i may
be a vegetarian again.
or at least
a conscious meat eater.
i stumbled upon this story
about the beef recall,
and the story had videos
to go along with it... :(

and one last thing:
thinking about
experimental architecture.
two names stand out:
archigram
&
mass studies.
both very cool,
both using innovative
concepts that originate
from the planet,
nature,
& simplicity.
