New study shows that lesbians…

Posted by The Mind of Nate | Random Thoughts,The Path To Enlightenment | Sunday 8 February 2009 2:31 pm

Lesbian Kiss

A new study today shows that lesbians increase web traffic by 250%  They are also fun to watch!  Thats right, nothing gets people to your website faster for a few seconds to oggle (not google) a picture of two beautiful girls wrapped in each others embrace.  Isn’t it cute!  You know, last night I realized that there is an abundance of lesbians in the world today.  Thats right, there are a LOT!  In fact there are very few girls I have EVER met that haven’t fooled around with another girl or were atleast “bi-curious.”  So I begin to wonder, why are there so many gays and lesbians today.  Have they just always been around and only been accepted recently?  Or could it be that us men have just been jerks to too many undeserving women.   This is a possibility, but my theory is overpopulation.  Thats right OVERPOPULATION.  Mother nature (Gaia) knows that there are too many of us.  The planet is grossly overpopulated and if everyone keeps reproducing there isn’t going to be much room left to breathe.  So mother nature in all her wisdom found a simple solution to make some of us stop reproducing.

So next time you see two beautiful girls held tightly in each others arms be sure to thank mother nature…. and then go impregnate both of them!

Hanging ten on the cosmic wave….

Posted by The Mind of Nate | Cool Stuff Worth Checking Out,People, Places and Events,Techno-Blabb,The Path To Enlightenment | Wednesday 14 January 2009 8:21 pm

will take you to some interesting places to meet some interesting people.

So take a moment to check this out!

First of all let me tell you about:
The Tree Of Life
The Tree Of Life is a rejuvenation center located in Patagonia Arizona. A place of holistic healing and spirituality. And the view from the Arizona mountains is amazing.

Next on the agenda of cool things you need to check out:
Orange Piel
Orange Piel does interior design and prints photography on wall sized screens. They have a few artists that are featured on the site but they can also print any image that is provided. They also print window screens that are really nice and look amazing when the light shines through them. They are perfect for home, office or store front.

ok now if wall sized prints wasn’t cool enough for you maybe you need to check out the 3D television by
Wazabee


They don’t have the 42″ 3D television available on their website yet but it should be available soon (starting around $4,000) They do have a 3D computer monitor that is quite impressive. Their products work with innovative lenticular technology to create the 3D effect.

I also discovered a new online digital art gallery that is worth checking out:
Its Art


Its Art magazine is a source of information and online gallery for digital art. Worth spending some time there and checking it all out.

Some more art worth checking out is my buddy Marco Valenzuela. This is his 2008 3D modeling reel. Marco is an amazing character model and is currently available for hire or freelance work.

Another project I’ll be working on this year is the
Coalessence Festival
Coalessence will be moving from Eureka Springs to Austin Texas this fall. For more information stay tuned to their website.

Well let me see… What else… I have so much cool software I have recently discovered but I think I’m going to just leave you with a my VJ promo clip.

The Winter Solstice

Posted by The Mind of Nate | Cool Stuff Worth Checking Out,People, Places and Events,The Path To Enlightenment | Sunday 21 December 2008 7:04 pm

The winter solstice is an astrological mark showing the mid winter. It is based on the location of the sun in the sky, when is at its greatest angular distance on the other side of the equatorial plane from the observers hemisphere. Basically its when the sun is at the lowest position in the sky. Many ancient cultures have calculated this moment and pinpointed it exactly. This year it occurred December 21st (2008) at 12:09PM. The Comanche Indians in Texas found a bluff that ran east to west and established it as a sacred place to paint astronomically aligned pictographs. On this bluff they created two solar markers, one to calculate the vernal equinox and another to calculate the winter solstice. An ancient Comanche tribal leader would stand upon a keystone that ran almost perfectly north to south. He would then watch for the shadow of the roadrunner to appear followed by the shadow of the wolf. The wolf shadow crosses across a painting with 4 marks. As it hits the 4th mark a speck of light beings to pierce its way through a painting of a turtle with a sun dial on its back.

Well of course seeing this amazing ancient calculation come to pass was an event I decided I couldn’t miss! So I spent my Sunday afternoon driving to this location and photographing and filming the phenomenon. Of course I had to do some cool effects and get video as well.

RIGHT HERE is where I would put the photos and video
but unfortunately my camera is in use filming a multidimensional discussion right now so please come check back later tonight, I will have both HDR photos of the paintings as well as 3D photos! And also a video of the spear of light piercing the turtle, initiating the winter solstice.


Symbols left by Indians to mark their presence at this location

The vernal equinox pictograph
on the first day of spring an angled shadow is cast which the small stick figure is walking up
the rest of the symbols are star maps

3D tree! :D

I still have to post more 3D photos and images of the symbol of winter solstice
Check back later, hopefully I’ll have these up soon.

What is Spirituality?

Posted by The Mind of Nate | The Path To Enlightenment | Friday 19 December 2008 1:37 pm

This is a question that has been asked through the ages. What is spirituality and how does it affect me? When I think of spirituality I think of spiritual energy, our soul if you will. That spiritual energy is inside every creature in this universe and it ties all creatures together. Every human being has an energy connection with every other human they interact with. Some of these “energy” or “spiritual” bonds are stronger than others. I believe the strongest spiritual energy bond is between parents and children, although this bond can be weakened or even severed. So now you’re probably wondering “if spirituality is energy what about god, satan, heaven, hell and everything else religion teaches.” Well open your mind with me for just a moment and understand that the spirit world is the energy world. That energy flows through us and all other living things. This energy is a bond to tie the universe together. If you think about life in this way and you keep an open perspective on reality as I do then you will see that there are similarities in all religions. I could fill a whole book with the comparisons between religion and spiritual energy. How faith in the wrong men can lead to spiritual blindness, the closing of the third eye and a close-minded perspective on life. This is what the dark powers in the world want. I am just trying to explain what I have learned throughout my life. I hope to bring my enlightened perspective to those that are open minded enough to absorb it. But please don’t take my words at any more than face value. Real spirituality is something you have to understand and discover yourself; I am only trying to show you the way. If you can learn what I have discovered in the last 24 years of my life then I have accomplished my mission. Maybe then we can stop and overcome this dark shadow that has been creeping across the world. Not through religion, money, power or war but through a multitude of open minded, free thinkers standing up for the truth. I want to discuss quite a few topics: compare the similarities between all religions, how your spiritual energy flows and is connected with everything, how your mind works and how to escape from close minded thinking, and everything else I think everyone should know. Those that look at life with an open mind will take my words and use them to advance their own spiritual journey. Anyone with a closed mind will either begin to open their mind or be blinded by their own stubbornness, too set in their own idea of reality to see the truth or allow it to change their perspective. If you are the last one please, stop reading this and just dispute it without trying to find valid arguments inside. I don’t want to argue about what I know is true I just want others to understand. Remember, these writings are just the words of man, don’t just blindly accept what I have to say, instead go out and find out the truth as I did.

Perception Manifests Reality

Posted by The Mind of Nate | Cool Stuff Worth Checking Out,The Path To Enlightenment | Tuesday 2 December 2008 11:06 am

Hello Class, (good morning Mr Goodfellow…)
Today we are going to learn about Quantum Physics and how Matter can be a solid or a wave. (sounds interesting Mr Goodfellow!) So to begin my discussion I’m going to show you all this video from Professor “Q” Afterward I will discuss application and then we will leave the floor open to student discussion. Now, lets begin!

Video clip was taken from the movie: What the bleep do we know

Thanks Professor “Q”!
So what did we just learn…. did he really say that matter (like light) can be both wave-like and particle-like. And the matter state depends if it is being observed or not! So both light and matter, the two thing that make the building blocks of our reality, have wave–particle duality. And the state of matter is directly controlled by it being observed. Does that mean that all unobserved matter can be in any wavelength but doesn’t manifest itself as a particle until an energy being observes it and changes it to a particle. Are you telling me that its scientifically proven that people, both singularly and collectively, have the ability to control and manipulate the world around them by changing matter from waves to particles!?! That our perception manifests reality!?!

Wow, I think I just blew my own mind… *POP*

Ok, now its time for class discussion:

I have decided to live as a minimalist…..

Posted by The Mind of Nate | I hate thieves,The Path To Enlightenment | Wednesday 12 November 2008 5:49 pm

I decided the its true. The things you own own you. And since I understand how the government and central bank system works it appears that money is worthless as well. So I have decided to sell as many of my possessions as possible and put the money towards something that will benefit both me and those around me. I’m tired of owning things, I don’t want to own anything! I just want to live and enjoy living, have food to eat, a place to sleep and a computer to do my graphic design on. Well right now I have all but the last one, since there are some horribly depraved people in this world who decided to steal my prize possession from me and I have yet to kill them or get it back. So to replace the stolen laptop and camera…

I have decided to sell the following items: 42″ Plasma TV and Stand, Compound Crossbow 250lb pull with target, 2 nice black “leather” couches with glass coffee table, mini bar and mini fridge and anything else of value that I can dig up out of the crap thats in my room that I don’t need…

Everything else will probably go to goodwill. I’m tired of things, I’m tired of money, I’m tired of the way reality is heading and I’m really tired of thinking about all of it. So instead I’m gonna block everything out for a bit and get some real work done with my new laptop and camera! (purchased with the money I get from selling this crap I don’t need)
So if you or one of your friends are interested just scroll over there to the right of my blog and click that little link that says “contact me”
NO not down there! up here! under the “Stuff You Should Click On” category!
ok ok, there we go… ok you can click that and drop me an email and make me an offer on whatever your interested in. I will email you back photos and info!
Thanks for helping me get a new computer! I need one desperately!

Good morning America…..

Posted by The Mind of Nate | Angry American Complains About A Bunch Of Crap,Random Thoughts,The Path To Enlightenment | Tuesday 28 October 2008 9:24 am

and welcome to my mind
I’ve had a few things on my mind about the world and the way everything has been going recently and I’m going to express them unchecked and forthwith.
Wake up America! WAKE UP WORLD! Turn off your TV and WAKE UP! Do you not realize that we have all become slaves to our income. Slaves to our jobs, and when we get home, slaves to our television screens. Working for corporations that their main agenda is to MAKE MORE MONEY! Money is what makes the world turn. The more income we have the more comfortable we become. The more money we have the more we want the latest and greatest of everything. We spend trillions of dollars a day on CRAP WE DON’T NEED trying to buy happiness. We are being controlled by comfort, and can be comfortably rocked into a blissful lull of slavery. Slaves to money. Slaves to television. Slaves to our jobs and our bills. Slaves to everything we own. Control is all about comfort. If an individual is comfortable they don’t question much. They sit in comfortable bliss and allow themselves to be manipulated by those who feed them the things that they think they need to be more comfortable, to be happy. You were comfortable with yourself until you saw someone more attractive on television. You were happy with what you have until you see someone with nicer things than you. Then you have to have it. We are a consumer driven economy and we the consumers are going to drive ourselves into economic slavery. If we haven’t already. So TURN OFF YOUR DAMN TELEVISION. Go think for yourself for once. Why do you accept everything that is fed into your brain as the truth. Don’t believe everything you hear, especially on TV. Don’t allow your whole life to be wasted. Open your eyes and go do something amazing, or creative. Join a club, write a book, hell… learn something new from the internet. Its an abundance of information. Just please, TURN OFF YOUR DAMN TV! When did we become so zombified that we just blindly accept everything that is shoved down our throats and lost the ability to think for ourselves. I think religion had a large part to do with it. Blind faith. Accept what we are telling you without question. Don’t forget to tithe. We will show you the way of the truth and light. Well it all sounds nice, but why is it that every single one is a hypocrite? Why!?! And what about the similarities between all the other religions? Why is one religion any better, or hell, any different than any other religion? Because names and circumstance are changed? But when you get down to the core ideas they are all the same. Yet people will fight, argue, and even kill to prove their belief the right one. You know what world, I say WAKE UP! Wake up and realize that we are all one and the same. Anyone that is telling you that you are any better or any worse than someone else because of your age, race, wealth, nationality or religious preference is simply TRYING TO CONTROL YOU. Don’t allow anyone to control or dictate your thought. Go think for yourself for once. And please, TURN OFF YOUR DAMN TELEVISION!
