I'm Highly Appreciated By Impoverished Mosovi!

Welcome to my ontological minefield.

About Me

Cue curtain: Chance upon a careening carousel of conciousness; a connoisseur of cafe noir cast as a creditable courtier caught in a coarse, cacophonous claptrap called commonality. One common cockcrow comes and the coequal chap calls from a catnap: "Can," considers he "certain confabulations consist completely of C's?" The consequence of that cogitation continues contiguosly:My creed compares the congenial and the contemptible, and chooses the correct. I am a competent civilian commander of communication, and constantly contrive comedic compositions for my comate's cheer. I cherish comensal comaraderie, and chase that commonly with commentary on cinematic classics. My cote is commonplace, but comfortable and I care for it.Clearly, convocations of conceptions cram my cortex, but cortes, credos, computations, chronicles, and curricula vitae comprise the cotter that cements my cogent cognizance. My contemporaries cannot completely comprehend my countenance of coruscation. The contagium of crass confusion is my circumlocutory custom of communication (corroborated here).But, it is my conjecture that you candidly calculated to confirm my cognomen, consequently let me add that it is my honor to meet you, and you may call me Charles.

My Interests

These aren't interests. These are quotes:Patriotism means unqualified and unwavering love for the nation, which implies not uncritical eagerness to serve, not support for unjust claims, but frank assessment of its vices and sins, and penitence for them...Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves...If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live...Great spirits have always encountered opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly...It is not worth an intelligent man's time to be in the majority. By definition, there are already enough people to do that...Strange as it seems, no amount of learning can cure stupidity, and formal education positively fortifies it...I have never let my schooling interfere with my education...Education is a state-controlled manufactory of echoes...Love is everything it's cracked up to be…It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for...I believe America's best days are ahead of us because I believe that the future belongs to freedom, not to fear...Ninety-eight percent of the adults in this country are decent, hard-working, honest Americans. It's the other lousy two percent that get all the publicity. But then--we elected them...We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special...We Americans live in a nation where the medical-care system is second to none in the world, unless you count maybe 25 or 30 little scuzzball countries like Scotland that we could vaporize in seconds if we felt like it...Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions...All science is either physics or stamp collecting...And that's the truth

I'd like to meet:

Ghandi (He's my hero); Flea (He's everyone else's hero); Kurt Vonnegut (the man that has made my adolescence bearable); Jesus (The man that has made everything); Adolf Hitler (So I can punch him); Cheops, Imhotep, Saladin, Atilla the Hun, and Julius Caeser (So I can figure out how they did it); God (but not too soon); Robin Williams (The man's a genius); Nicole Kidman ('cuz she's purdy); John Quincy Adams (Because he's under-rated); Emma Watson (so I can tap that shit); Kirk Hammett (So I can learn to tap that shit); Stephen Hawking (to stand in awe of genius); Roger Penrose (because Hawking gets all the publicity); Albert Einstein (Speaking of physicists with too much publicity); Slavoj Zizek (He pretty much kicks ass and takes names); Jacques Lacan (Without him, no Zizek); Giorgio Agamben (The State of Exception changed my life); The WGLF (Because they're really good and really out there all at once); John F. Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln, and Barack Obama (so the four of us can conspire to get the lattermost elected); Karl Rove (So I can kill him); William Shakespeare (So I can shake his hand, tell him some jokes, and listen to his); Laurence Olivier (Because I'm the better shakespearean actor, and I need to prove it

An old(er) one, not about politics

I'd like you to know that I'm in a bold mood right now. I'm feeling unusually nervy, and by golly, I'd like to use this temporary break from crippling self-doubt to make some predictions. I've noticed...

More scenes from the Obsolescence of Democracy

So, the first fundraising reports are in for the 2008 election primaries, and, predictably, they're absolutely fucking disgusting. Hillary Clinton and Mork Romney each raised more than $20 million, wh...

It's back to the news updates after a long dry spell of me not really giving a shit. Enough news has occurred to sufficiently arouse my sarcasm (and that's not all it has aroused... if you know what I...

America, the lazy

As a man of nearly 17 years I have vast (and furthermore: unbounded) knowledge of this world. And in my decade and a half of observation I have come to the following ultimate summation: Americans ...
