World Of Tourism

Ive often wondered if ignorance is bliss? I'm a believer in truth but sometimes the truth is not always what we want to hear and often we wish we had kept our heads buried in the sand. This can apply to every aspect of our lives. I've come to realize that I believe in a truth that may seem quite impossible to others, crazy even. I blame my up bringing, we are all a product of our parents and truth be told, mine is a strange one. My teenage years were spent conforming to the norm, finding a religion, immersing myself in a life of routine and what was expected but I constantly felt a nagging. That little voice in the back of your head that wont seem to put a sock in it. So when I hit my twenties I was quite done conforming and I started searching for knowledge, the knowledge that went against everything I was taught in school and religion, but knowledge that made perfect sense to me and felt right.

UFO's, conspiracy theories, mind control, Illuminati, maybe even reptilian shape shifters but I haven't quite decided on that one yet. I believe in aliens, I believe that they've been here and come here from time to time and that they even shaped the human race as we know it today. Now for the whopper, I believe that crop circles are messages from our outer space buddies, I do realize that not all crop circles are authentic but the ones that are, need to be taken seriously. Please keep in mind that as I type this, I feel like a Charles Manson cult member, in other words a person in desperate need of being committed, but I like to think that I'm not the only one that thinks like this, there are other people out there, intelligent, credible people that believe in this as much as I do and I think we should all be as open minded as possible when it comes to knowledge that may not always seem plausible because of what we have been taught to believe.

A new crop circle has been discovered in Silbury Hill in England. The picture attached to this blog is the crop circle that's just been discovered. Pretty incredible....It's linked to the Mayan Calendar and if you don't know by now, the Mayan Calendar ends on December 21st, 2012. Some people believe it's the end of the world, I like to be a bit more optimistic and think that it signifies a momentous event, good or bad, I really don't know. But after Y2K, I highly doubt the world is coming to an end anytime soon.

Last month a 400-foot crop circle depicting a phoenix rising from the flames appeared in a barley field in Yatesbury, Wiltshire. What do these symbols mean? What message are we being given? and why are they always popping up in England? So many questions, so many interpretations, so little answers. I can't honestly tell you that I know a lot about crop circles, it gets pretty intense and technical after a while and let's just say I'm a creative not a techie. I decided to research, as I do everything, and see where I would land up. To my surprise I found a very interesting website created by a man who clearly thinks along the same lines that I do but has far more knowledge than I do on this subject. Here is the web address www.cropcircleresearch.com and for those of you who haven't completely dismissed what Ive said today and feel a nagging urge to check it out, please do. Till then I'll be reading more and more, should we ever stop in the pursuit of knowledge? Definitely not.

I consider myself to be pretty open minded. I try and look at every idea I'm presented with from different angles and then come to my own conclusions or opinions. I believe in UFO's, I like to read about conspiracy theories and I'm toying with the idea of reptilian shapeshifters (long story) presented by the world renowned Davide Icke but there are some things in this world I just cant' wrap my head around.

Gunther Van Hogens is a man with some freaky ideas on art. If you havent heard of him, consider yourself lucky. I was eating a bowl of Kelloggs Corn Flakes when I came across his story and let's just say my appetite went right out the window. His claim to fame, if I can even call it that, is using human corpses in his art pieces. He rearranges them in different poses, can anyone say Ted Bundy reincarnated?? He describes himself as a plastinator because he removes the fluids and fats from bodies and replaces it with plastic resin. Pause for effect....

He performed a public autopsy in 2002, the first in over 170 years in Britain and once again he's causing a stir with a new exhibition that's going to be shown in Berlin, The Cycle Of Life. In one piece, he has two corpses in a pose that let's say is frowned upon in public. Yes you guessed it, getting it on from beyond the grave or platform in this case. Tasteless joke, forgive me.

Don't get me wrong, this is no joke, people are up in arms about this, saying it's indecent and offensive and I cant help but agree but what I find funny is the fact that a person can actually get away with things like this, all in the name of art. Religion and art people, it's the way forward in getting what you want and not having to pay the consequences. Admittedly, that was a stab at religion, one of the many conspiracy theories that I've been reading lately but back to the Plastinator, the man is clearly not well and needs to be evaluated by a professional, I'm all for freedom of artistic expression but isn't this crossing a line?

I don't actually know, Leonardo Da Vinci, a man of vision and genius was considered deranged in his time but he was experimenting to find out about the human body, something they didnt know too much about back then, what's the Plastinator's excuse? All I know for sure is HE'LL BE BACK. I know, I know.....
