I want to wish everyone a happy new year! I believe that this upcoming new year is sort of a gut check year. I think we are moving toward a collective movement of individual introspection. I think we, as a country, are asking ourselves, "What is truly important? What is the core purpose of me being on this planet? What is my true aim? What is the arc and trajectory of my contribution to the world? How may I help to better the state of my fellow man?" As a man who just eclipsed the age of fifty, these questions have a little extra spin on them.
We sit on this spiral arm of the Milky Way, ready to cross through the galactic plane. The esoteric mind begins to feel the rumblings of the knowledge long forgotten. However, interpreting the Mayan calender as cataclysm is far too foreboding for me. I refuse to be that pessimistic! Cosmic shift does not mean the end of the world; If anything, it is a shift toward saving it. So as we sit on our metaphorical surfboards, ready to catch this 2012 wave, I think that we all can find ways to reach out positively. You may call me a hypocrite ... these pages have been splashed with negative energy toward Obama. Who am I to talk? Well, you noticed that that I haven't posted much in recent months. I am trying to turn the runaway horses from the cliff of my own revulsion to the ideas, philosophy, and policies of Barack Obama. Ever since I finished the charcoal drawing that you see at the top of the page, I feel like I released and cleansed my body of the bad energy of Obama.
I am encouraging Americans from everywhere to reproduce my "in your face Shepard Fairey" depiction of Obama at the following blog. Please contact me if you have a good caption for the drawing at the top of the page. I will be sure to load up a poster for you. This is a referendum on Obama. So this is my positive effort to call attention to the fact that this man is taking the country down the wrong path. I am giving away this poster for free. I will be auctioning off the original drawing on ebay the day after the presidential election. I will write a check to Tee It Up for the Troops for exactly fifty percent of its sale price. I will update this blog once it goes on the auction block.
I will post my pre-Iowa assessment of the Republican field tomorrow (New Years Day) to the Cleveland Tea Party Patriot blog. I am looking forward to being able say, "This is why you should be for this candidate rather than Obama." I am tired of constantly making the case against this president. In my view, he made the case against himself long before he was elected the first time.
My goal this year is to focus on the positive expression of my core values. What can I pass on to someone that will benefit society as a whole? What is my healing quality? How can I pay it forward? How can I do the most good? How can I be a beacon of hope to others? How can I reach a higher level of vibratory existence? These are the questions in my mind on this New Years Eve.
