Quitting Airs

Holding your breath doesn't teach you how to stop breathing.  It makes you want to breathe more.

To take up arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them; why I began the revolution, as said written on a toilet stall wall in 2041.

Why?

I am tired everyday taking
refuge in
the Dream.

Watching and Reading

I WATCH Books and read Movies.

Seem to no longer be reading text, it operates independently of my eyes, it'll play its chords whether I'm looking or not.  It happens.

What's going on with movies?  They're cool, behaved.  I have a mastery over them.   The movie plays its speed how fast I am looking at it.  It happens as it occurs to me.

I wonder if the web knows this.  I'm not sure what to do about it.  The web is inescapable.  I look forward to the day when we finally meet the Queen, the Spider-Queen and she takes our minds from us.  What's left of them. And raises them to the sky and knowed us to us again. And refreshing returns bring us back again, into the fold.  The shepherd and the flock.  But that still doesn't answer the question.  Evasion.  So I want to say why the reading and why the watching, through what I know of McLuhan, but I can't say.  Heck, I can't even say why there is the current trend towards using rectangular (as opposed to square) TV's.  I'm missing something, clearly. I'll have to think about this. Rock on ?!??!?  til then...

the chimes of time are changing me...

I'm a dropout in the morning, and an acolyte all night.



(Hey it's better than that Joe Gould poem:
In the winter, I'm a Buddhist, and
In the summer I'm a nudist!)

Our conscious minds are the only parts of us that don't know what the hell's going on.

he & He

They say the greatest victory Satan has had is in making us think he doesn't exist.  True...to an extent.  But I prefer to think his greatest victory to date has been not only in making us disbelieve in his existence, but more in gradually making him God; i.e. having him see and know us on virtually every street, in every building, every room, through every TV and computer.  In other words, Electronically Everywhere.  In other words, Omnipresent, omniscient! And Omnipotent - after all, Knowledge is Power!!?!...

Oh, to hell with it -- I'm in!!?!
 (Amen.)

Over the Long Haul

Over the long haul

it will less likely be the boulder
falling on your shoulder

than the pebble
in your shoe

that does you in.
