About Me:
Hmmm, tell you a bit about myself aye?
Show you a “Genuine expresion of self” ?
Part of this suchness is British and part is American and part is you when you're not looking.
I'm a fasion designer (stupid term - you can't design fashion), except for when I'm a rock climber, Painter, Ad-lib beat poet, slow motion thinker (you can't judge the speed of anything wthout a frame of referance) I'm damn lucky.
I love my freinds, the ones who crash on my couch and the ones I haven't met yet. The ones I paint boats with and the ones I break bread with.
I love my wife, she's more honest than I am. So I try harder.
I like Butterflys
What's on my mind at the moment?
The more I think about it, the less justification I can see for copyright laws and especially the concept of intellectual property.
While these laws were originally put in place to allow entrepreneurs the opportunity to benefit from their inventions and ideas this is no longer the way these laws function.
I believe in open source.
I believe that the concept of intellectual property is - like the litigation it encourages - basically another way of saying “I'm scared because I fear I may have already done my best work”.
I vow to never fear that I might not be creative again. There is always more and better work for me to do and clinging to my past will only serve to blind me to the future. With this in mind you may consider all of my original material to be public domain.
All I ask is that you give credit where it is due.
Ps. Don't forget that any concept you have of god is, by it's very nature, idolatrous ; )
