These are the incoherent but happy ramblings of various anonymous sorealists in 2006. Make of them what you will. But make something

A manifesto of the Soreal: Collective e-claration of 2006

1. Sorealism is speaking, seeing , thinking, dreaming, creating, feeling, smelling, hearing, embracing and laughing at your own truths and then sharing them with Someone - Anyone - Everyone.

2. SOREALISM is inspired by the simple act of thinking, combined with the impossibly complex act of thinking inside someone else's head.

3.  What you think of as the surreal is not the surreal. The surreal is the not-breath we take at the experience we so desperately try to have and not have. Create. Destroy. Laugh. Cry. All at once. Now and it is gone. But it never leaves. It is just forgotten like a hangover 10 years past. It informs us. And we never drink Tequila shots again, for a while

4. SoREALISM maintains that all the stuff you go through, waiting for things to happen, is what actually happens....

5. Sorealism is a form of realism. You can't expect happiness. Joy sometimes. And then grief or uncertainty. But what you can achieve, as the years go by, is clarity - to be clear eyed, without illusions, about our lack of happiness

6. But Sorealism is also a happy art form. It's our illusions of what we should be, our expectations of happiness or success, that create so much unhappiness. We're always crucifying ourselves on the impossible stipulations of what we 'should be'. But what we are, that we are, is - with clarity - more amazing in itself, more SOreal.  In clarity lies joy. That's SOREALISM
