BIO

Manifesto (In alphabetical order)

Advice (Paradox)
My advice is: Never give advice. Everyone wants to give it but no one wants to listen/
Analyzing
Don’t analyze/accept/don’t overthink/DO/
Art is (about)
Me, my truth, sex, death, believe, change & personal growth, contradictions, funny and painful, colorful and black and white, in your face, confrontation, new questions/
Believe
Bad things happen to everyone …….except to you/and ME (of course)/
Black and white
Most white people have no privileges/neither do most BLACK people/
Boring
Life is boring until you have to pay your bills and taxes/
Bruce Springsteen
Drinking and fucking a lot. What is it good for?” (absolutely nothing, say it again)
War where is it good for?” (protection, industry, work, nationalism, politics, population……)/
Thanks Boss/
Children
If evolution is real, what happend to my children?/
Colour
People of colour are often quite black and white/
However, black and white are no colors at all/
Technically speaking, they are just nuances/That’s ALL/
Confusing
Be happy and sad at the same time
Most peoples children are UGLIER than themselves/Anyway, that’s what my parents said/
Cars in the 80’s
The price of CIGARETTES/
Dreams
Your fondest dream can turn out to be your worst NIGHTMARE
Drugs
Drugs is not a problem. Drinking is/
Facts
Facts are merely a reflection of your mental abilities to organize and understand things/
Fat people
More FAT people die than drugs addicts/
Feeling
I try to express what I feel and even then I can never make clear what I really feel//
Feminism
Woman TALK to much and guys DO to much/
Famous
Being famous is the same as being rich. It’s all in the eye of the beholder/ A bottle of WATER in the dessert can be worth more then all your money, so never bring a knife to a gunfight/
Gay
I must be gay because women don’t want me. Or I can become a priest. A priest can also fuck children/ If you don’t want to FUCK kids, become an Artist/ or a Musician/
Illegal
Only illegal DRUGS is DRUGS. The ‘legal’ drugs are called MEDICINE/ Why don’t we legalize it all? Liquor is also hard drugs/
Legacy
If you have everything, then you will worry about your legacy. Why? Dead is dead. And you won’t beat the dead superstars like ADOLF HITLER//
Life
Life is about SEX and DYING/thats all that matters/
Life is not a dress rehearsal so fuck someones brains out/
Money
The fastest way to make money is by solving a problem. Not by making ART or helping people/
Here are some other great ways to make money:
Start a WAR
Start selling drugs or
Curing CANCER
Kill my EX/
Morals
People would rather see a woman shot in the face than her pussy or breasts on Netflix/
New movement
It’s not about ‘ME TOO”, Its about ME/
Older
People say that you are only so old as you feel. Of course. And GOD exists. And I was a Nubian princess in my past life/
Painting
Making money with painting:
Paint the walls of a commercial building/
Partner
When you’re friends are more important than you’re partner, you are in big trouble/
Peace
Peace = no borders
Peace = sharing and caring for each other
Peace = killing everybody that stands in your way
Peace = last person on earth
Peache = a fuzzy fruit native to northwest China//
Reality
What we experience as reality is the result of consequences that we may or may not experience as important/
Relevants
EVERYTHING has already been said
but what nobody said before is probably not worth saying/
Religion
Religion is for those who are STUPID…….  or for people who are very intelligent/
Self-knowledge
People hate me for what I say
People hate me for what I do/
It’s another day for you and me in paradise (Phil Collins)
Self protection
1. I  can never injure myself on the street while drunk as long I’m behind the wheel of a LARGE automobile. (Once in a lifetime Talking Heads)
2. “I sold my gun and therefore bought a Pitt Bull to protect my children”/
Sick
The boss and the government care that I could get sick/ You see, they really love me/
Slimshaming
Telling someone they are fat is wrong. Telling someone they are slim is allright/
Suicide
Whats wrong about SUICIDE?///
The oscars
Most people will never make a movie. Instead they are preparing an Oscar acceptance speech/
Trangenders
Most transgender people are depressed. So is the rest of us/
Victim
Feeling like a victim is the cancer of the 21st century/
Workaround
If you don’t like something about yourself, there are two things you should do:
1: Accept it. 2: Work around it. 3: FUCK IT! YOU ARE FANTASTIC JUST THE WAY YOU ARE/
