Where i Live

Back in the mainland and last night was in the big bad city. I got punched in the mouth in a friendly way, by a man much bigger, physically, than I.

2.

Now back in my home town…sitting in J’s apartment with the birds and the dryer humming. It is only four and already it is getting dark…over all it has been a cloudy, low sky day which does not lends itself to optimism which for us, as a species is fitting.

3.

life doesn’t matter but we must some how make it important…something i suppose to spur us on…

religion some people say add dimensions to their earthly existence…

and i have had what people call a spiritual experiences…

via meditation, drugs, sex, fasting, and being in nature…

for us who can afford whatever this human experience has to offer it is a wonderful world…

4.

we are all bound to a common humanity yet everyone has a personal experience…

shaped by dna, culture, education, sex etc,  and most importantly wealth…

5.

when i was working at Home Depot i was not a free man…

i quit because they were telling me what i had to say…

they wanted to normalize me so a customers experience with Home Depot would be repetitive…350 thousand employees saying,

“What project are you working on?”

and in Anthony Robbins jargon they become anchored or in marketing parlance they become branded…

6.

most corporations now dictate what we should buy…advertising takes a demand supply equation and inverts it, supply demand…

we produce…we advertise…we sell

At one time washing clothes took up too much time

so a washing machine was invented…

7.

capitalism doesn’t seem to care if we have a good time

and in fact does not want any risk at all…

and there goes all the fun…

a capitalist believes he will never die..

which i consider a strange logic…

8.

“The time for liberal-democrat moralistic blackmail is over.”

First As Tragedy then as Farce by Slavoj Zizek page eight.

A capitalist knows no shame…

9.

how do you invite the neighbors over when you worth 300 million

and the rest, on good days, are worried about bills…

one is slave and one is master…

10.

maybe it is time to reconsider god who can at least give a described rendition of a better life and in the end death is salvation…

for me, so far, earthly pleasures, will have to be good enough.

11.

this is Saturday and that is where i live, mostly upstairs…

an ode to the Shaw is inching a long.
