SFW but also NSFW lol I posted this on a adult XXX theme blog that I was running for affiliate marketing purposes…it got a thumbs down. Hahahaha…
Perhaps horny guys just wanna goon while surfing the interwebz, they don’t appreciate the humor. My bad.
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure…
just putting up images that have been buried in my folders for years.
When you’re ascending into 5D consciousness, but your ego has a fat ass:
Unpopular opinion but I really don’t think ego really goes away until we leave our human bodies.

Anyways if you don’t know who Badtz Maru is, he is a michievious penguin born on April Fools Day. You can see him here on my upper arm:
Here’s Badtz Maru from 2015:
I snagged these a while back when I was struggling to be original and exist as an artist.
“Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic.
Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery – celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from – it’s where you take them to.”
– Jim Jarmusch
How to Feel Miserable as an Artist (or what not to do)
- Constantly compare yourself to other artists.
- Talk to your family about what you do and expect them to cheer you on.
- Base the success of your entire career on one project.
- Stick with what you know.
- Undervalue your expertise.
- Let money dictate what you do.
- Bow to societal pressures.
- Only do work that your family would love.
- Do whatever the client / customer / gallery owner / patron / investor asks.
- Set unachievable / overwhelming goals. To be accomplished by tomorrow.
James Altucher inspired me for a bit and so here is another one of his infographics that I had saved from probably 9 years ago. Though I think about getting fired A LOT, it has yet to happen. I have been laid off though. It’s good to think about this stuff because life is unpredictable (even more so now) and you just never know what’s going to happen these days.
It’s hard to read so I typed it out:
10 Things You Need To Do If You Were Fired Yesterday
Do just one thing today. And then one thing tomorrow. And the next. That’s all you need to do.
Ideas
Make a list of places or people you might want to work with. Then come up with a list of 10 ideas for each that can make them money. This way you keep your idea muscle intact. Then pitch your ideas to each. If you can’t, move onto the next one. THIS TECHNIQUE WORKS.
Write
Write a book in the next three days. You can write a 30-page book called “100 Things To Do The Day After You Are Fired”. Make it funny. Time to dominate the publishing industry while you are unemployed! Make a list of all the possible 30-page books you can do. Then tomorrow start one of the books.
Lunch
Schedule a lunch with someone you haven’t seen in three years. Could be anyone. But it has to be someone you haven’t seen in at least three years. This injects new blood into the system. You need a total transfusion to get rid of the infected old blood.
Lunch, Part II
Have lunch with one person in your industry. Have your ideas ready for that person. Have him critique your ideas. Learn.
Gratitude
Make a list of the people you’ve worked with over the past ten years that you are grateful you worked with. Email them and tell them why you were grateful you worked with them. Ask them sincerely how they are doing. This is one of the most important things on this list.
Resentment
You are going to feel like the people at your old job wronged you. But they are just trying to survive also. Make a list of all the good qualities that person has and send them an email why you think they are good at what they do. Thank them.
Brainstorm
Go completely in a different direction. What other industry can you work in? What other location can you live in? Make up the wildest fantasies about what you can do. Keep going until there is one possible direction you can execute on today. Brainstorm for an hour and some little slice of reality might peak through.
Love Yourself
Wake up early, exercise, take a shower, wear a suit, go into the city, and walk around. Smell that freshness on you. It makes you feel as if you are ready for anything. And you are. That’s all you need to do that day. Heck, go to a museum. You won’t have this opportunity for freedom forever.
Slash
Make a list of all expenses you can slash. Make your runway as long as possible. There are plenty of sites to advise how to do this. Picture your worst – worst case scenario. It’s never as bad as you think. Write it down. Write down the plan for the worst-case scenario. Then take a nap. You just had a hard day. You need to rest.
Reconnect
Contact other people who used to work at your old company. Maybe they even worked there ten years ago. Reconnect. Come up with ideas for them.
I wish I could just randomly tip people on X/Twitter whose posts I like instead of having to subscribe; like who is actually subscribing to people on there because I’m not in the know. I feel like I’m being a thief right now. But hey at least I didn’t crop out who it came from and gave myself credit, right?
Found on Twitter X. I will never stop calling it Twitter. Which phrase draws you in? Mine is ‘blessed be’.
A mood – the Gen X introvert with her moon and Pluto in Libra who loves tigers. People think I’m shy but it’s more like…I just really don’t talk that much, especially if it’s a basic ass conversation. Although I talk to myself a lot when I’m driving to stay present.
What makes me this way…is it my introversion or my planets in my 8th house?
Yes, I keep screenshots from 10 years ago. At this point and time where a lot of adult sites are turning to “safe for work” homepages, Cornhub might become a thing.
