Discovering Happiness in a World of Negative Illusion

April 26, 2013 6 Comments

Dawning upon a new chapter in my life after graduating college is frightening, but brings with it a tremendous opportunity for the future.

I’m working everyday at a job I hate, around a bunch of negative people who are currently not happy with their lives. I can now understand why the majority of adults these days are miserable. What I believe is the cause to the misery is not the terrible job they are working, or the negative people who bring them down for eight hours, it’s that fact that they think they do not have an alternative.  Read more of this post

Fueling The Fire of Inspiration

February 14, 2013 Leave a Comment

We’re a species that mass produces individual variety.

One of the most unbelievably beautiful things is that each and every single human on this organic spaceship is different in extraordinary ways. Each and every day, I think about how I am standing on a rock that is spinning at ridiculous speeds barreling through space and the vastness of the infinite universe. Read more of this post

Dreams Aren’t Free, The Mental Price of Happiness

January 14, 2013 1 Comment

The grasp on reality in today’s modern society is so diluted with sugar and spice that it’s hard to find something that is truly real. Read more of this post

Art Gallery: “Zero”

January 2, 2013 Leave a Comment

“That’s the sound, my generation lost something that cannot be found. A combination of here and there, but some how we ended up elsewhere. Our sense of purpose, pride and value are gone but mine are not, I’ve had the strength to hold on. We say we have fear and we have love, but I have seen none that I can speak of. I wonder most the time, why it is I lose my mind. But it’s all the same because I have myself to blame. It’s easy to sit and complain but I can’t, I’ll be that change. You know a lot of people get scared and a lot of people fail but not me, that’s not how I’m built. I will not go and sit around filled with self guilt. I refuse to lose and I refuse to be denied of what I know I should achieve. It’s hard to get back up when you fall but the fight is long, so get up and give this life your all.”

The Magical Power of Positive Energy

December 27, 2012 Leave a Comment

I try to view my life as a cocoon, focusing on one task at a time towards positive progression.

The caterpillar is not the most attractive thing Mother Nature has given us. It starts out as this little thing that is kind of just slumming around, and doesn’t take anything too seriously. But one day it gets an urge to focus on itself and pursue its undying urge to do what it is meant to do. The caterpillar will wrap itself up and start to control everything it does by focusing on its main goal, to flourish. Read more of this post

Believe in The Unbelievable

November 15, 2012 Leave a Comment

What I find confusing is our ability to simply accept mediocrity instead of striving for improvement.

The fact that reality television like the “Jersey Shore” and “The Real House Wives” of who ever the fuck cares has become a major thing in our lives is disgusting. This surface bullshit destroys people and makes them feel terrible about themselves because they don’t look like so and so, or they don’t have the same life as this person, or that they don’t possess the same skills as someone else.

The frightening thing about our society is that there are so many people who want to be like so few people. To me, that is depressing because the amount of wonderful things that are out there are blocked and over shadowed by false ideas of reality is just wrong. My beliefs are not in standard and normal realistic thinking. Read more of this post

Are You Afraid of You?

November 7, 2012 1 Comment

Confidence often gets very confused with being cocky. However, there is a DRASTIC difference.

My name is Jeff DeLuca, and I am an artist and a writer.

I love what I do and I don’t give a damn if people discourage what I do. I feel blessed with the gifts I’ve been given but that’s just what they are is gifts. It’s what you do with your gift that makes you great. You need to develop what your good at to truly become great. Read more of this post

Satisfaction. Accomplishment. Value.

October 24, 2012 Leave a Comment

These are things I’ve discovered within the last few hours.

The happiness we can give this body we have, is fuel. Like gas to a car, water to the flowers or air to our lungs. Our minds are stronger than any muscle we have. It’s the most beautiful thing about any human being. It determines the thing you like, the things you eat and most important the people you love. Your mind gives you the belief in something that isn’t there. Something you want to be, but question.

I believe the craziest thing is that we question our minds.

We question possibilities, which is fucking crazy to me. Read more of this post

What is True Happiness?

October 23, 2012 Leave a Comment

It is so hard to be happy with your self in today’s society.

Society tells you that you need the perfectly sculpted body to be happy, or you need to be with a beautiful girl to be happy, or if you have a certain lifestyle, you’ll be happy. Society tells you so much surface bullshit that you think will make you happy but in reality, your vision and sight are so clouded that you can’t even see or hear what your telling your self you need to make you happy.

I thought I was happy.

I followed the rules and all the bullshit that I thought was right because the world we live in  is so clouded and filled with fluff and just filler. Filler is temporary satisfaction, because as a human race we’ve become so accustomed to instant gratification that once we don’t get it or something goes vaguely astray from our intentions, our entire world falls apart in our own minds.

Art Gallery: “Looking Past The Dark”

April 24, 2012 2 Comments

 

“In drawing this and coming up with the idea, I did it slowly and step by step. What influenced me to do something like this was the clothing line Fatal. They have a lot of things like this but I came up with the rays and spider webs myself. This is kind of like one of their pieces but I created the long hair because I thought it would give it a different look. I am really happy by the way it came out and will have something new up soon.”
