Leaders

"Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."

(Matthew 6.31-34 ESV)

It seems my earlier attempt to resolve social strife has not yet succeeded. Alas.

We live in a time of religious disillusionment. Church's are being replaced by yoga studios as a new generation turns to the east for enlightenment.

Many proclaim their spirtuality while eschewing religious faith. Such are the times we live in.

But we still need leaders. We still need heros. We value those within our communities who can teach us about life and teach us about ourselves. These people inspire us to rise above ourselves, to better ourselves.

There are leaders all around us. Some take on this responsibility while others lead as they live. This potrait is of one such leader who is doing his part.

Sébastien Tellier

"Sébastien Tellier is a modern day enigma. A hirsute lothario, conquering hearts with soulful music that brims with a seductive élan."

from the Biography section of his myspace page.

I'd by lying if I said I completely understood every word in the quote above but I'm pretty sure I get the sentiment. Sébastien Tellier is rad. I think this is probably because he is from France. All the coolest music comes from France.

His last album, titled 'Sexuality', has alot of really fresh songs... and most of the official remixes are killer. Plus the album cover has a small man on horseback overlooking a women's breasts which represent mountains of opportunity.

It's funky sexy crazy cool. Perfect for rollin' deep in the Parisienne and/or moving your hips too. You should check it out.

I did this MS Paint portrait of Sebastien Tellier and I sent it to a music blog as part of a contest. I won this cool pink vinyl single... (Thanks to http://www.sluttyfringe.com/)

Here is portrait that made me famous:

Since I have so much free time on my hands right now I thought I would provide peeps with a review of what's going on right now... a sort of state of affairs address via Leon Paint's if you will. If people enjoy it maybe it can become a recurring theme.





Bad

Victoria Weather: Real shitty right now. As my workmate said, seasonal affective disorder isn't supposed to affect us in June

BP Oil Spill: Boy, the water sure seems clean over here on the west coast right now.

Bees: Those poor bees and their damned colony collapse disorder.

Good

Phillips Growlers: 1.9 Litres of gold for 10 bucks. As Shannon said it's almost worth moving to Victoria for.

Mushroom growing: So hot right now.

Summer sports: Now if only this damn weather would co-operate.
