Unreal Life

 Whether I’m watching old TV shows, playing with an old car, writing a book or just sitting on the porch swing with nothing better to do, I’ve learned to marry my insecure mental condition with living my life, as insignificant as it is. I figure my unreal lifestyle is, in the very least, a lot better than the everyday doldrums of a ‘sane’ society.

 My views of work, friends, school, the system, the man, and people in general are vastly different than the average person. I’ve been told that my life wavers outside normal routines. That’s true. I do not abide by rules that hinder my goals to further my weirdness and eccentricities. I like living in my PJ’s. My Life. I wear purple suits and crazy colored ties that I design myself. My Life I buy a new car and the next day I’m doing something bad to it so I can call it mine own. I never roll on the same street as others.

One other thing about my un-real life, I have no alarm clock. I threw it out long ago.

The right form of insanity is better than normal sanity. Everyone always talks about how daily situations and stresses in life are a burden and they have no way out. No idea how to change for the better. They don’t even know the answer stares at them tight in the face. Get rid of the alarm clock!

No one with a ‘right mind’ is sane anymore. But having the right mind is out of fashion. What is the new way of thinking? Good insanity, the right kind of uniqueness, being the individual who goes against societal waves and decides that you will be one-of-a-kind even if it’s in your own mind. These are radical diversions from what is considered acceptable behavior in a copycat generation.

The mind of insanity is a meaningful symbol of personal aesthetic and inner self. It’s all personal -  individuality, rebellion, self-expression.

It’s about mental connoisseurship. You are what you spend your money on, what you think about, what you say, the way you represent yourself, your style. But all that has to be earned. You cannot get it free or inherit your uniqueness. Buying things to show how different you are is all good, but to be the one who is not the same as others, comes from your mind.

“I wouldn’t recommend rebelliousness, independence, dysfunctionalism, or insanity, but they’ve always worked for me.”

 If you are not opposite minded, you follow the crowd. You never take chances on your dreams, or you may be afraid of what others think of you. If this is you, then throw this idea away now! Go break open a six-pack or cruise the mall. Why? “Because you ain’t getting anywhere following the masses!”

 In this crazy world of people falling all over themselves to belong to the mass class, you want to be unique – the rebel, a non-conformist, an outlaw, mentally unbalanced, eccentric, lunatic, strange, bizarre, psycho…etc, etc…and so on. You have the powers inside yourself to transform them into good. Never eliminate your complexes. Get in accord with them, they direct your actions. Your good insanity is rare, roll with it.

Never conform. Paint your “life canvas” the way you want. I’m an abstract artist. Why abstract? Because I have to do my thing, paint what others will never be able to do. I love to do color, design, artwork of my own choosing. Not how the art teacher instructed or what the universe says to do.  It is all from my own kind of thinking, no still life object. Me, different? No two the same? Paint my life canvas my way? You got it!

Like abstract art, life can look messy. That’s okay. Look at a messy life as something beautiful. You know there;s gotta be something in there that appeals. Look deep and hard and that messy life can turn into something wonderful if you look at it the right way with the un-real mental attitude.
