"I'm a Gangster"

Oh man. Saw this old dude (60 or so) in a suit and tie driving to work this morning. Now that is interesting enough. But to give you the ol' one/two punch, he was driving along in this perfect '69 Chevy full-size pick-up --Yellow with a brown stripe, Rally rims, and straight as an arrow. Only one word can express the feeling one gets when witnessing a grandpa in suit driving a fly auto: bitchen, straight up.

And to really make your weekend, I would like to share with you the painting I think I am going to buy. the painting This is such an intense painting and so distrubing. I love it. What makes it even cooler is the it is 17th century. I love to see how bizarre people were back then. It bridges the gap a little bit, ya know.

Turns out the lady who can't see the sun is really tattoo lady. You know of the lady who I see all the time with green gunk on her face, big brim hat, long sleves, gloves, sweats tucked into her shoes and sun glasses. She walks aroung and not a spot of her skin sees the sun. So I thought she had a disease where she would turn into Tang powder if the sun touched her. Turns out she doesn't have said disease. She is tatooed from crown to toe. She is ashamed she did that and now won't let anyone see her. There was an article in the paper about her. Now that is grovey.

Speaking of tatoos, I'm not really a tatoo type of guy. In fact I'm not much of an ornament guy. I'm not into piercings or jewlery or tatoos. I just never got into accessorizing. I'm not a freakin' christmas tree --I don't need no thingies dangling from me. I am man -- hear me roar!

Snobbing is the major form of argumentation. I dislike it greatly and I'm getting good at sniffing it out. I know, I'm guilty of it. But so are you. The thing is, we don't even know that we do it. What is snobbing? Basically it is trying to convince someone by saying supperior people believe/do it. For example: Democrats are more compasionate; Marxists are free from greed; Reformed Christians are smarter; people with hefty units wear briefs (I heard this on Kevin and Bean this morning). It is snobbing. The listener thinks, "Hey I want to be seen as smarter, compasionate, and sporting a hefty unit. So I agree with X." I see this a lot in Critical Theory. Deconstructionism basically snobs people into their position by saying, "You are just afraid to shift the power structure you grew up with. If your not afraid, be a Deconstructionist. Join the elite group of the brave." That's the way I read Derrida.

Snobbing sucks.

Any one want to start a hippy commune? Well, let's make it a modified hippy commune. We will have private property and you won't be forced to do communal work. Really, all I am asking is for a group of people who would like to buy a huge peice of land somewhere. We can each build our own homes and we won't have to knit mac-ro-may all day long. Nor will you be forced to smell like pacholie. But we would have a little farm area. If you won't want to work on it, fine. But for those of us like myself, we can grow corn and raise sheep. We will have a shooting range, a go-cart track, archery, camp fires, and a pond. I'm thinking northern California. Sound good?

Wildnerness preserves suck. There are a whole bunch in my area that look real fun. I just want to run out there and roll around or sit down and have a sandwich. But I can't. I'll get arrested. Why the preserves? They suck. I want real nature where I can run and dig a hole or take a pee or bring a rock home with me. That's nature. Not this pansy Environmentalist preserve nonsence. A nature preserve is just an unpractical use of land. Let it be open and let us enjoy it with all our senses, not just our eyes. Environmentalists are just teases -- they pretend to offer us nature, but they don't. Nature isn't protected by man. Nature doesn't have rules. There are no cops in Nature. There are no fences. Environmentalists suck. Nature is cool and they won't let me play with it.

Why is escapism frowned upon? The word is used in such a negative sense as if the person who is seeking escape is 3/4 a human since he/she can't deal with life.
I'm no longer fearful of being labeled an escapist. I'll accept the term with dignity. Yes, life bothers me. Yes, I can't wait until this world is rolled up like a scroll. Yes, I can't deal with life. What are you going to do about it? Huh? Pat yourself on the back by calling me an escapist? "I'm big and strong and I don't mind this cursed world. In fact, I love it. Give me a second helping. Hey, are you going to finish that bowl of suffering? If not, pass it my way, I'm not satisfied." Not for me, thank you. I am an escapist and I'm proud. Say it loud! I escape and I'm proud!!!!!
