                           “By suffering,

                                         you help no one.”

or

hard to eat

when hungry eyes

peer

or

           Q. how many are hungry?

                  A. roughly a,lot                       say 2 billion

                                                     many many many

 

or

 

               is that part of “the journey”

                                          (as the self-determinists

                                                                spiritualize) polemic

or

      get high

or

                      get drunk

or

            get laid

                     “do something”

                                                                              real or imagined

                    

                             looking

                                 better and better

                                endlessly we improve

                          and then

finally we die

 

No no

alive as ghosts

in old folks homes

extended care units

 

                                                    live til ur dead

use to be the rule

                                 

now we have extended life

 

primarily for the rich

and then

only to a point

                                                     the years go by quickly

slept 12 hours last night

Moving moving moving

shanghai blog In less than three weeks

off to Shanghai,

(no idea where this dirty road (footnote)*

is taking me,)

*Townes Van Zandt song lyrics

and the cabin has been secured. I've sent the checks (rent and damage deposit) and friend Daniel is going to do an inspection and get the logistics down.

It'll be a three hour journey from my suburbia condo, but i can take a bus, a boat and walk the hour up hill, all for under twenty.

I say i want to finish

“Poems For the Shaw”

and i am making

little effort in that direction,

                                  which is conflicting…

the cabin is on 7 acres,

quiet and peaceful,

with no high speed internet,

only dial up

which is a thing of the past,

 

i have no idea why I'm here

but once in a while i get inklings…

shang hai and cabins,

poetry and the stock market

today is wednesday and i need

yogurt, cereal, celery, lettuce corn

which i can afford

where i live it is against the law to consume less than eight or nine servings of fruits and vegetables a day…the most important thing here is our good health…

shallow central… 

and now we strive for a seamless world,

and conflict is a source of creation or/and destruction…

who said we decide? 

Politics

But again,

i  get a head of the story, first to China,

to meet my beautiful girlfriends family

contributing to Western-Sino relations

 

                                               some of us know

                                  our life style is unsustainable

 

On a personal note,

the blue budgie just flew around the room,

and the bourgeoisie class grew in size                      immensely 

birds 005

the outcast

American

an accidental world power…

now the rest of the world

has to make sure,

they don’t blow us all up….children…

Writing




As the writing world waits with bated breath...i have decided upon a location to produce my master piece. It is high in the mountains or hills and the owner of the place is a writer and an activist who will be in Asia until the 31st of March. The place is well laid out and has ample peace and privacy.

I type this now from the Vancouver public library as two balding men sit across from me, whispering and a Chinese student writes out English.

The sun is shining and their is a nip in the air.

On the 22nd i am on my way to China and received necessary travel documentation with many new and improved security features.

The elections in the US will weaken the Democrats ability to push through their agenda and the lefties in Canada whine the Republicans will find some way to impeach Obama. I'm not sure about that...
but the US sure looks like a basket case and politicians are bad actors.

On a strange note, the supreme court has decided corporations who sponsor adds know longer need to disclose their identity,

corporations are humans in the US...people...this is problematic

There is an anti intellectual sentiment in the US and many of the new jobs will be in the knowledge sector.

The manufacturing jobs have gone and they ain't coming back says the accountant who keeps his eye on these matters.

The good news is Chris Vincent has a home and now he can rest in the traffic.
