1.
In North Korea the beloved leader shot a 19 on the country’s first gold course…somebody wanted to make him look not-too-perfect but “human all too human” and had him take a two on one hole.
17 hole-in- ones on an 18 hole golf course is pretty good
beating the existing record by over twenty strokes and
is in fact accomplishing a feat which defies even common sense…
but no other north korean has played golf so they don’t know

“if you don’t learn from your mistakes you tend to repeat them…
as if the situation will ever repeat itself…
but we bring our past ideas forward…
usually in the negative…
if one mechanic rips me off all mechanics are crooks…
if one treats me fairly then he is an exception…
3.
belying my critical nature
as relationships go one
i exaggerate faults
on both sides of a “partnership”
which is another word
hijacked by the rabid right
4.
I excel in this society because of the cards i was dealt…if sitting writing on a sunny afternoon in a forest, on a hill over looking a mountain can be deemed excelling
5.
i only have to pretend capitalism works…and it does…

environmental degradation has begun in earnest,
5.26
countries in the middle east are demanding not reform but change…
they are willing to die not for a belief…
but because their lives have become unbearable…
6.
in the west we have become enamored by our inner lives while forgetting the very fact we are operating in a very real world…
only a neurosis is soothed with the purchase of unnecessary consumer goods.
we buy forgiveness by sponsoring children through world vision and donating to green peace…even our guilt is commodified…
6.22
the capitalist ideology is so embedded it appears as a non entity…there is no such thing as a capitalist party or even capitalist literature…philosophy is missing…it’s appeal is base and common…and it incorporates
religion, science, education, healthcare, art, entertainment, self help, sports
7.
what we believe to be our personal perspective is in fact not yours…it has been shaped and molded and any potential for originality is reduced to 1/8th and that can still be reduced…

“retain your individuality without becoming enamored”
said the fat piglet to the tired owl
7.08
life via the internet…
virtual…a good organizing tool…
8.
life lived in person…has more subtlety and nuance
9.
Even the right question is difficult…
How does one respond to an ideology
which has caused more bloodshed
in the last century
than all other causes combined…?
and is still the major contributor
to starvation in so called third worlds…
and of course the right question
will have the answer
one way or another
it is only a matter of time…

Darwinism;
Israel and Las Vegas,
religion luck and
…destiny.
10.
saw the end of an old movie last night called “Lucky One” by a British director starring the actor of clockwork orange fame…which was a satire…the director who is dead now said in a post movie interview he used absurdity to expose reality…
life is not linear and there was no beginning middle and end in a final sense like say a day, which consists of breakfast, lunch and dinner…
10.77
memories may be no more accurate than dreams…
the advante garde, i imagine,
will have a revival…
