"and, from your freudian de-construction of my dream, i can see your psychological power. perhaps instead of sociology, you'd like psychology more.i'm kidding. please don't hit me." -eric, circa 2001
GET THESE TICKS OFF OF ME!!!
i am interested in damn near everything. i like non-pretentious pontificating, if that is at all possible (it's a little rare, i think) and people not using bell hooks's name with capital letters -- that makes me a little frustrated, like it's a typo or something.
things i like:
i love doing critical analysis of anything and everything, including my "self." i appreciate good conversation, informed debate, social constructionism, postmodernism, activism, feminism, socialism, nihilism, real anti-racism, other isms, music, politics, fighting the controls of higher education, civil disobedience, writing, reading, sleeping, drinking, and on and on..
things i don't like:
huge pet peeve of mine: do NOT say my name at the end of every or any sentence. it's condescending, rude, and patronizing. other pet peeves include, but are not limited to: biological determinists, mis or uninformed debate, yelling, violence, loss of control, inability to deal with loss of control, bad smells, cheese that tastes like feet, homophobia, ignorance, complacency, institutionalized and perpetual racism and misogyny -- the list goes on.
and i love my partner. but that's obvious.

Does anyone remember "prairie home invasion"? And i'm not talking about the original.. i mean the album jello biafra and mojo nixon did together. there was a song on it called "nostalgia for an age that never existed." I'm finding it more and more difficult to read anything.. ANYTHING.. without thinking of this song. i can't read social control literature.. i can't read goffman.. i can't read corrections literature.. i can't read the real news or the mainstream news without thinking of this song. i think i have a disorder.
Also.. you know what's cool? being able to walk into a bar and walk up to someone and say "hey, go play pull my strings" and they say "why can't you?" and you say "because i'm broke" and they give you a dollar. and when you ask if they have any personal requests, they tell you pull my strings is enough. that rocks
these are the things that make me happy: reading, listening to good music, knowing good people, talking good politics, writing good politics, inciting peace activists to get violent because they're too cowardly to do anything.. loving pissing off the peaceworks people.. causing a stir.. making people listen, whether they like it or not... listening to jawbreaker and jets to brazil.. kicking people who play johnny cash on the juke box.. breaking up fights between cops and homeless people.. telling cops no one is questioning their authority (in said fight) and them still yelling about pissing in the alley, and then several of us going and pissing in the alley.. free cigarettes.. free alcohol.. free anything.. fighting the importance of property.. fighting globalization.. reading about globalization and immigration rights and trying to work them into my masters thesis.. vonnegut.. sleep.. beer.. rumplemintz.. talking to people fresh out of iraq.. talking to street kids.. giving people free food.. and so on. (So it goes.)If I could remember how to write, I would put something useful here.
Instead, I suggest everyone check out http://www.commaecho.com and http://www.mozilla.org
have some quotes for now!
.. I'll add something if I think of something .. for now though, courage..
"there are some things in this life you just weren't meant to understand, jen.. and reya's sexuality is one of them" -anna
"He believes in rational choice theory but also biological determinism"
"So he's essentially the ontological snake eating its own tail?"
Justin: Crap, I gotta go catch the short bus.
me: THAT'S FUNNY CAUSE IT'S TRUE!!!
hahaha j/k
Justin: It seriously is!
"Did you actually just say something positive about yourself?"
"yeah, but it was a lie."
PISTOL WHIPPING IS THE BEST PASTTIME EVER!!! JUST ASK MYKIE!!

My Interests

if i were to go into actual interests here, there would be a more than laundry list of things, including meta-laundry lists and meta-meta laundry lists... in short, i'm interested in every damn thing i see. ... oh ..and of course pistol whipping should be noted. .. but all of this should be in the "about me" section, no?

in essence, i'm interested in lots of shit. Listing it would drive you, the reader, absolutely mad.

I'd like to meet:

"Eternity

It has been found again.
What ? - Eternity.
It is the sea fled away
With the sun. Sentinel soul,
Let us whisper the confession
Of the night full of nothingness
And the day on fire.
From human approbation,
From common urges
You diverge here
And fly off as you may.
Since from you alone,
Satiny embers,
Duty breathes
Without anyone saying : at
last. Here is no hope, No orietur.
Knowledge and fortitude,
Torture is certain.
It has been found again.
What ? - Eternity.
It is the sea fled away
With the sun.
May 1872."
-JNAR

Music:



Bivouac -jawbreaker
I dug my fingers in the earth.
I drew you pictures of my pain.
They were so pretty.
They were so vain.
Put your hands in the water.
Let it touch you everywhere.
Boat of my father.
Cut from my mother.
Father.
I'm lonely.
I'm an only.
I learned to put on airs.
I needed them to breathe.
Today I wake up, tell myself this is me.
Now this is home.
But the property's on loan.
So much for letting go.
I'm picking up the phone.
Bivouac.

The inhabitants of Degolburg are busy erecting a statue for their newest hero, Thaumaturgist reya on the only statue pedestal around. The remains of the statue that had stood there before lie in such ruins around the pedestal that it is no longer recognizable.
