I didnt mean to hurt anyones feelings with my Ice Bucket video. I was just making dumb and meaningless word jokes as per my usual comedy style. I wasnt making fun of the challenge, just trying to give a laugh and do it in my own way. All the following junk is stuff Ive been feeling big about lately, starting around when Robin died. Im very scared to talk about how I feel about big important things. Im scared to be viewed as a person who looks like they know anything. My thoughts are largely cosmic and mostly impossible to clearly articulate which is why I make art. With all that in mind, here is some stuff in my head: My message is basically this: The tiny mind can make us feel separate from the MASSIVE Soul. Which is one and belongs to all. Sometimes it is easiest for us to seek out positive change in regards to something terrible that has made a negative impact on our personal life. Sometimes it is easy to give money. There are so many bad things in the world that we can donate money towards in an effort to make them better, but how do you decide? Is there something like a universal charitable fund that equally divides the money it receives to many different things that need funding? I dont know if that is even a good idea. I dont know whats supposed to happen in this world. One of the things that I most want to help improve is equality/inequality among humans. Im especially really really hurt by how women are treated in this world, and I want to do something to make it better. Id like to address it with my art, but I dont think Im informed enough to talk about it directly yet. I have performed music at a couple of events to raise awareness for violence against women, and even if thats all I feel comfortable doing to help at this moment, thats ok because I want to do more and Im trying to learn how to be better at helping. Well, what I guess I am saying is... The more I work to make myself better, the more I want to make the whole universe better. I cant believe how easy it can be to hate someone you never met, and how hard it can be to love someone youve known for years. Obviously I cant boil down the problems in this world to one thing, but thats one that I come back to so often. I hope that everyone will consider doing what they can to become more passionate about creating positive change in their own lives and the lives of all. Im not sure if I believe in Peace, but I know the only way its gonna happen is if were all trying.
