I'm, like, just one of those guys that travels through the Universe and all that. If there's beer there, then I've either been or I'm on my way. Choose to perceive beauty, choose to be free. You are all there is, was and ever will be. And that's a good thing! Cheers!
ABOUT RUSSELL GOFFE
I'm not really an artist, but if I had to choose a category in which to place myself, which I probably shouldn't have to do, well that would be where I'd place myself. I thought I was a businessman for a while. I thought I was a healer for a while. In fact, I've thought I was many things, but generally only for a while. So this artist thing... not sure if it'll last really. Either way, I know I'm me. And I'll still do the things I do the way I do them. There's not really a box or a category for the things I do. At least, if there is, then I haven't heard of it. In a strange and probably unhealthy kind of way, I hope there is. And I hope I hear of it. Answers on a postcard.
I like to draw, sometimes. I like to write, sometimes. I like to make music, sometimes. I like to ponder ideas for days and weeks on end in an almost obsessive fashion, sometimes. Sometimes I like to do naff all and other times I like to do lots. I don't like to be told what to do. I hate it, in fact. I long for a world where there is no money and no fear. These are possibly the same world. I care about some people and, despite a general feeling of love for humanity as a whole, I dislike many other people.
I'm one of those people that will make you feel great for no apparent reason or make you want to punch a wall for no apparent reason. Don't ask me why, because it's not apparent to me either. I could probably solve every problem you think you have and a bunch of others you aren't aware of, but I've not really decided why I should bother so I probably won't. I'm apathetic, because it's the way I was programmed to be by a society whose elite probably would just rather I died and stopped being a hassle. Same as they probably want for us all.
I grew up watching He-Man, then Rocky and barely anything inbetween that I can remember, except maybe Sharky and George on a Sunday morning. I've spent a lifetime being something I'm not. Being someone I'm not and thinking it was me. Having realised this I have realised that many others do the exact same thing. I don't know whether this is a good or a bad thing, just an observation really. s
I know I could change the world. I know exactly what I'd do, but for some reason it's really hard to do and i don't know why. Simple things that are also hard are both baffling and funny, but when you just want to do something good they are frustrating. I have seen people die because of this and only this so I respect it, hate it and want to overcome it, all at the same time.
I'd love for you to like what I do and the only thing I'd love more than this is to wish I didn't need this of you. I'd love to get rid of the ego and know what this feels like, but find it to be quite a cyclical and almost impossible thing to do. If I could simply be able to maintain an awareness of contstant, uncomplicated relaxation I would be the happiest person in any particular room at any particular time. I am aware of the grave neuro-linguistic errors in the previous sentence and I give less and less of a crap about them with each day.
I know I am powerful, and I know you are too. I reckon we live in a dreamworld and are not really real and I am pretty sure that there must be a reason for having an awareness that suggest the opposite to all of this. I am not sure if that reason is because we are being give a chance to be free or because we are being imprisoned or if it is both.
I don't talk to spirits or channel messages. I do use symbolism. I like conceptual thought and think that pondering is a great form of entertainment. I hope that you can ponder as you peruse my work. I hope that you have a concept of time and an awareness that allows you to do this. I hope. I think i will always have hope and I think that is important.
