Anonymous asked: its so amazing how peaceful and beautiful your profile is, as if you have no downfalls or complications in life. how do you do it ? maintain this image of a stress free man in a stressful city ? its also creative how three simple questions have such wonderful answers , but may i also ask you now , whats your name ? what do you find beautiful ? and whats ugly ? whats your inspiration ?

My apologies for the long time between your question and my response. In all honesty when I first got your question I didn’t know how to answer it. (btw your the first to ask). I didn’t know for the simple reason that I recognize that my profile is far from my own truth. Its just a part of it. I create. Weapons I choose are pen and paper, lenses, music, discarded materials and wise words from fools..

Its an easy thing to create an image, infuse it with meaning(s) directly and subliminally.To draw an image of a waterfall and and title it “Peace”, Ive made it a message of tranquility. Its easy. Its easy to make it and give it power. Now imagine that image gaining acceptance past my own eyes. It becomes a symbol for others, something they can rally behind because it spoke to their way of things. Some power huh?

This world is filled with so much love and hate, so much beauty and ugliness. Its always and never one way or another. Where we came from sends us in different directions. Destiny? Fate or Coincidence? Will I be a Destroyer or Creator? Peaceful or Chaotic? Nurturer or Hater? How about all of the above? Powerful eh?

“Seeded from New York. A clusterfuck of energy, overpowered torque. It makes you hard, it makes you cold, it makes you strong, it makes you old. You’ll lose your mind if you let it. It eats you up and spits you out continuously regretted, level headed It molds you, holds you. It lifts you up and shoots you down. the jungle concrete, in a multi colored lit up town. Survival of the illest. a city full of shit seen through corners full of prisms. A city full of lions, wolves and sheep. Sheepherders and Servants, Jesters, Kings and Queens. Mothers and Daughters, lawyers and white robed docs, Fathers and dogs, sons and grandfather clocks. History and the future side by side. A.D.D. sprinkled in with pride. Oil, grit, diamonds, marble, animals and graveyards. Its all an endless slide..”

I did three years in florida, a sleepy vacation from the above statement. A place where sand feels good between the toes and life tasted sweeter. Clouds looked delicious and people seemed relaxed. Excitement lowered to a whisper with the occasional nightime blast. The first time I left New York I wanted nothing but to go back. I missed her skyline curves. I was young. I came back for schooling, realized culture, or the many cultures New York tucks away in her alleyways. I saw the towers fall. I saw innocence lost from many eyes including mine. Damn that day. Damn the fact that there is so much more to life than numbers and image and yet we are nothing but caught up with ultimately meaningless desires. Damn the fact that the message out there is terrible (not entirely). That the systems that feed us is fucked up with useless messages and fearfull controllers. We can be so much more. We have hundreds of centuries of human nature proving what is bad and good, what works and what fails, what advances the human soul further from the darkside of the mind. What is possible for peace and what keeps us away from it. Its now logical and calculated and documented. The human world has been in conflicted war for most of its life. Yet we haven’t made the evolution. We are stuck. We are A.D.D….

I got tired. I got disillusioned with too much for too little. And I wasted time…

I created this site after coming back from a second time in Florida after literally seeing the beautiful moments in slow motion before my eyes. There is no other way to explain it. My eyes changed. Florida’s easy ways were with me. I had to show to everyone! I found beautiful moments in the simplest things. Even a piece of shit on the floor meant a miraculous moment. Some animal had a meal that gave him energy no? Energy without bounds, or so I thought. I was like the ocean. Full of life, full of peace and promise, not yet ready for the often turns of the weather, the chaotic storms…

New York can be grinding, and I got tired. I got disillusioned with too much for too little. And I wasted time…again…

My brain is filled with too many ideas, so many ways to express it, I felt the weight and responsibility of what could be and the lack of desire to see it through. New York had beat me down, or shall I say I let it…or shall I say I never grabbed it by the horns.. Thats why it has taken so long to answer. Winter’s slumber is strong and sleep is lovely. I let the negative keep me unbalanced when I know there is so much out there. Death never sleeps, Life always rises. I remind myself that everyday. The sun never stops shining no matter the temporary rainstorm above.

A Life Supreme is made up of the possibilities that exist, explored through all the themes of life. The many angles our daily lives provide. I have many ways to tell those stories. Shit, there are millions of us to tell those stories. I would love to hear yours, collaborate on it. Create some dope shit and spread a compassionate message. A shared message instead of a sell-able one.

I hope this gave you some insight. There is more to a mission statement than just its intentions. There is more to a book than its cover. The same story can be told countless ways. There is the action behind the final result. It should always ring true. What shall it be? I personally wish for people to relax, but that aint gonna happen. I can’t control anyone but I can inspire. I can tell stories and make stuff. Its dope. Its juvenile. Its pure. Tempations are always strong….

BTW my name is Jose and I find imagination and curiosity beautiful. I find ignorance ugly, especially my own. And life’s possibility inspires me to no end…
