Why would I want to do that, you might ask. What harm is my ego doing? I’m not a narcissist or anything. I’m just a regular person and I need a little ego at least to keep some sense of pride. To understand why you might want to neutralize it, a clarification of its meaning […]

| Uncategorized

In a society where some politicians are increasingly bombastic, where celebrities are celebrated more than philanthropists, and where we common folk are led to self-promotion for “likes,” the perceived virtue in humility can be obscured and even lost. Yet, in the past and even now there are people who have accomplished great things, who have […]

I imagine dealing in person with the cold, calculating mind of Vladimir Putin brings about uncertainty and anxiety. He probably makes passive aggressive statements to throw you off guard, but his manner is so confident it makes you wonder what he is actually thinking and whether he would actually to what it is he implies.

EGOMANIAC DREAMS COME TRUE

By Bo

February 28, 2022

I will begin by saying I don’t know much about world politics. I suspect that even when I believe I know why international events unfold as they do, I don’t really have a clue. World leaders probably aren’t the people actually pulling the strings of a complex puppet show. For me to discuss what happens […]

As you know, we live in a universe that is constantly changing. We’re along for the ride and all too often we might feel like a bronc bustin’ cowboy holding on for dear life, but not all change is traumatic. In fact, it’s a blessing when we can transcend one condition for a better one. […]

In April of 2020, I posted an article with a look at the history of pandemics and how the community of artists reacted to them. I wanted to understand and convey the effect these tragic events had on the arts. Now, almost two years later, there’s been enough new art produced to get some perspective. […]

Who do you think you are? The victim of your environment? A pawn in the game of life? A fallen leaf blown here and there by the winds of change? Or are you the creator of your own destiny? The cause rather than the effect? Whatever role you play in this world, you can make […]

REVIEW: “DON’T LOOK UP”

I saw a film on Netflix last night that I just have to write about and I have to write about it now. I think it’s accurate enough to call it a dramedy but it has elements of suspense, science fiction and satire as well. The cast is outstanding, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl […]

You just want to do your art. You may be a writer, a musician, a potter or creator in any of the fine arts. A strong urge from within is calling you to bring forth a masterpiece or just some evidence of your genuine talent. Yet, you have another life calling, urging you to pay […]
