If this doesn’t make you say, “Holy Shit that would be effing insane!”, I don’t know what would.

What if the Earth had rings just like Saturn? What would it look like? How would we see it from different perspectives from various points on the planet? One thing is for certain…it would look out of this world.

But getting back to the photos.

Some really interesting stuff when you are not expecting to see it pops in front of you sometimes. Very, very cool. I’ve always believed in this kind of passive-zen-like-karmic perspective., where you don’t find the image, the image finds you.

How true is that, right?

I have had an “Ah Ha!” moment as Oprah says it.

I pondered the concept of multi-dimensional existences along the concept of the superstring theory and how each subsequent dimension after dimension “0″ was influenced and contained all the prior knowledge and language. If there is a 10 dimensional multiverse, then the very top dimension contains all the knowledge and languages of all the lower dimensions of all the possibilities, existences, chances, timelines. Everything.

Which means that the 10th dimension would be G-d, no? If G-d is all knowing and omnipotent, couldn’t we concluded within the construct of theoretical hypothesis that this would be true?

Something to think about on your Saturday morning.

It is Captain Hazel Murphy! Do not look directly into his eyes. Total paralysis has been known to suddenly happen.

It is best viewing the “Murphy Eye” with a cardboard box and facing the opposite direction. Carefully poke a pinhole into the cardboard box and voila you have a pinhole Murphy Box for viewing this dangerous and potentially deadly phenomenon.

Indeed…the force is strong with this one…

People have been telling me to go to bed earlier…BAAHUMBUG to that! I say! I’m a night guy. I can’t go to bed early.

How does one organize an entire day of research, phone calling, staying in touch with friends, having alone time with the Mrs., etc. Seriously, how the FUCK do people do it? I just can’t fathom it. So many of my friends have stopped calling me because they know I never call them back. It’s not that I don’t WANT to, it’s because I forget to call them back. If I take the time to call them back…I’ll forget what I was going to do at that moment. Forget picking calls up. I never answer my phone anymore. It’s insane! I get distracted so easily that I will literally forget WTF I was just doing. I could NEVER be a waiter or work in retail.

I’ve always been told focus on your positives and be aware of your negatives. Well my positives are beyond the sky’s limits and my hinderances are well…what I am venting about.

There has to be a way for me to focus and stay on point.

People have told me make lists…but what the fuck good are lists if you have a desk full of lists from days before that never got fulfilled to begin with? I mean I take notes after notes after notes. I even make notes to remind me of other notes that remind me of meetings or call I have to make and STILL I don’t get everything done. Not even close to it.

I’m not expecting to complete everything that I set forth for any particular day, but can you imagine getting bombarded with calls, emails, twitter, facebook, blah, blah, blah…after awhile you shutdown for all the overload. I really try to keep it simple. I’m starting to use our new CRM system…but the only thing is I now need time to import all of my business cards that I have acquired over time and then create a schedule to call and email these people and do this and do that.

All of this takes time! Time I don’t have NOW. When will I have time to do all of this?

Seriously, there HAS to be an easier way. Has to be!

I mean I could hire an assistant, but with what money am I going to pay him or her? It all falls back on me. I could spend 1 hour in the AM inputting data and then eat breakfast, etc… Not going to work. I already spend an hour in the AM filtering through the 10,000 tweets in my Outlook box from the night before…searching for information amid a sea of SPAM. Always looking for the new thing and a new client.

How the FUCK can I possibly get any of this stuff done? Saturdays + Sundays are OFF LIMITS. My wife screams at me when I am on the computer on the weekends and for good reason! I’m on the computer all the time and ironically I never spend it on either her or myself.

Now that is IRONY. I have the World at my fingertips and I am doing WORK all day and night long. I’m hustling like crazy to get some movement going with my job and stuff. I never have any time to write like I used to, which saddens me a bit.

There has to be a way to balance personal life with work life.

The CRM is going to help, but after that I am going to need a freakin’ life coach or something. lol

Maybe I need to shorten my conversations. Maybe I need to read more intently. Maybe I need a freakin’ hearing aid. Maybe I’m taking on more than I can chew. Maybe I’m the World’s worst organizer. Maybe I can complain some more and then everything will fit into a dysfunctional dystopia. Maybe not.

How do CEOs and bigwigs do it? Yeah, I know they have secretaries that tell them to do everything. I don’t have that luxury.

Logic would dictate create a schedule and try to live as close to that as possible. ERRRRRRRRRRRR…not going to happen. What usually happens is that I will think about making a schedule and not know what the fuck to put into that schedule. lol Talk about a catch 22. Or, I’ll begin to make this schedule and I’ll get a call of which I do not answer. Then get another call and another. All from different people…while I’m trying to focus on myself for just a freakin’ moment to catch my breathe and organize. The next thing I look up at the clock and it’s 7:00PM. WTF!?!?!?!

I’m besides myself. I really am. I really don’t know how much more candid I can be without jumpng through the screen and smacking you in the face with complaint after complaint. It’s a miracle you made it this far in my rant. lol.

I need to be better at a lot of things in life…don’t we all? I know I am not alone. I know there are people out there looking at themselves in the mirror and shake their heads and say…how the eff am I going to do this? They do it somehow. If anyone has any tips or pointers, please feel free to reply to this post or email me.

Please don’t tell me to write stuff down…MORE. (Trust me I write PLENTY down.) Please don’t tell me to HIRE someone. (I don’t have any money.) Please don’t SUGGEST that I work Saturday + Sunday. (NOT GOING TO HAPPEN PEOPLE.)

I need real advice and REAL perspective. If this blog isn’t a cry for help I don’t know what is…

Talk about being completely out of it…

Regarding my new book. I cannot give out details right away, but just wanted to put it out there that I am indeed working on it. This will be my 2nd photo book.

The sales of my first book, “Untitled (My Journeys)”, have been beyond my wildest expectations!

I’m looking forward to completing my book and sharing my art with all of you!

Thank you for all your support in all its guises.

More updates on the way for NoodlesMcIntosh.com!

Thanks for being patient…

Location: Los Angeles, California

James Turrell is an artist that uses light and space to define his work, literally. He is best known for, Roden Crater, a work in progress since 1972. It is located in outside of Flagstaff, Arizona. Turrell is transforming this large mound of rock into an incredible observatory that does not require any instruments what-so-ever to view celestial occurrences in the sky. Many of his other works enclose the viewer in mathematical spaces order to control their perception of light. One of his skyscapes can fit up to 15 people. Viewing participants sit towards the inner borders of the space on benches to view the sky above through a gigantic opening in the roof. Also, he creates light tunnels and light projections that give the illusion of form and shape. It almost seems as if the light has mass and weight. It is only light.

Personal Memories of James Turrell:

There is something so incredibly calming and organic about Turrell’s light. I can’t help but feel completely mesmorized by the light. If you ever have the unique opportunity to experience one of his works, you will be moved. I, personally was moved to tears the first time I saw one of his neon light tunnel works. One of the works I saw were similar to this image:

In this image, Turrell has closed off part of the room and built up a facade wall, leaving open only a rectangle with no edges. On the inside of that wall, Turrell has placed neon lights around the inner edges to create a bizarre illusion that there is a rectangle painting of solid color suspended on the wall. The viewer is invited to break that invisible barrier and try to feel into the light sculpture.

It was so unbelievably moving. I still have yet to see something that is as simple and beautiful as this.

It’s light. That’s it and that’s all.

Nothing more, nothing less.
