About Me

i've---- cooked a one minute egg in 25 seconds, have made coffee and toasted bread, laughed at many a silly joke, walked on water (bare foot mind you) argued with myself, played the piano, danced a waltz, howled at the moon, turned on a dime, skated on thin ice, boiled water while looking at it, made erroneous assumptions, passed judgments, drank a little too much, ran with scissors, have inhaled- while forgetting to exhale, lost a game with four aces, tricked a trickster, tossed a salad -against the wall, whipped some cream, lit a fire, extinguished a relationship or two, been ahead of my time on occasion by at least 5 seconds, behind by 2 counts while the band played a seven/eighths tempo, been dead on wrong, sometimes right, kept my distance, approached too fast, stopped short, went over board, fell on my ass, got on my feet, jumped the fence, avoided a hurdle, been head over heels, forgiven and forgotten, said too much, thought too little, drowned in a glass of water, gone through the eye of a needle, couldn't dance on a pin's head/but tried, bought the line and couldn't return it, witnessed history, told a lie, sought the truth, had a pretzel, spoiled my appetite, quenched a thirst-but got another one, bled, skipped, twisted, fell, juggled, jumped and tumbled, all in an instant and without warning, what about you?

Movies:

-marshall mcluhan -true visionary, heavily influenced by james joyce & bucky fuller. if more people were to understand the significance and impact of the "electronic" age- statistically, less and less would be prone to the arcane mechanistic views -indicative of the lag between what we now know of the world and the dominant and generally outmoded metaphors we use day to day to describe "it".war then can be scientifically demonstrated to be totally unnecessary. totally.

Television:

cool and irreverent -Human Toys - someone has to keep stirring it. she's just adorable.

Books:

Are we Schrödinger's cat or Pavlov's dogs? the clip below describes in a semi coherent fashion just how societies get manipulated-how "consent" might be manufactured. A more or less perfected black art - in the "information age".Freud appears to be central to this; his psycho analysis- a flawed and inept "science" imposing its narrow and dysfunctional mumbo jumbo upon several generations. Repression as the basis for control.No accident then, that his daughter Anna, (whom he molested as a child) went about preaching peculiar notions about sex (she was a self described "virgin') preached just how her sicko dad and his "science" provided all the answers a prim and proper society would want. A stiff upper lip, obedience, and by golly! don't make waves!.Her dad was a nefarious character - a manipulator, a morally bankrupt human being- whatever merits his psycho analytical castles in the air may have provided, pale by the blatant fallacy of its premise.Going after a man like Whilhem Reich was only in keeping with the ravings of self appointed deities that ought not be questioned.The smear and character assassination Reich underwent was so profound- that even this documentary manages to make him seem like a loon -which he wasn't.His claims of a bio energy -which can be accumulated- have been proven again and again by hundreds of brave souls who risk ridicule, scorn and possible prosecution (in this the home of the brave in particular). This point is highlighted by the fact that in 1957, his books were burned after they had thrown him in jailBottom line- and just to illustrate what a farce and a charade "conventional wisdom" tends to be- consider this: his so called "Cloud buster" (mocked in this documentary btw) which can make rain-although proven to work-continues to be ignored by most. Do the environmentally obnoxious -greener-than -thou bother to look into this? nope. They appear too busy being useful idiots for the very people rigging the game and playing them like a cheap fiddle.Fact is, we've been messing with the weather since the 50s and almost nobody seems willing to even consider it. But I digress- Reich, like Tesla is viewed by the general populace as a nut, a delusional fool- no sane individual should ever, ever, ever imitate.One clip out of about six, sort of walking through the last 60 plus years and how we might've gotten to where we are today. The question is where the hell are we going?There is a Policeman Inside All Our Heads (part 1 of 6)I think this piece is called: going to the super market to buy milk in my pajamas.Kate Moss Hologram for Alexander Mcqueen
