View Flash Strap's profile |
This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

I used weed in a similar way- to get off other things like cigarettes

i don't care for coffee (well, i like coffee iced creame on special occaisons) nor cats (well, i like some and like others less - and am allergic to nearly all). but dont say anything disparaging about them, lou Reed nor the Lemon twigs... who wants to point and laugh,etc? (etc should cover everything else) :-B

oh yeah, i exited the bus home, leaving my new WFMU hat to fall from my lap before i did... realizing that i'd left it only after the bus had pulled- far away to the next stop where other 22's queue up. - so i waited for a couple of traffic lights to change and ran with my can, after the bus the but in front of the one i was chasing pulled away, making me "run" even faster...
i'm laughing at how funny it looks when i'm forced to do that...
anyway-- happy ending. the driver eventually saw me in his mirrors running w cane (resisted waving it) and let me approach his (locked/secured door), acknowledged my presence and let me in - one final sprint (hah) to the back of the bus to retrieve the hat(mostly to look grateful via hustling), thanked the guy enthusiastically a couple of times and walked the last little bit home
long day tho. i'm angry at myself for typing here now. dead tired.
sorry-it's still Wednesday to me :-B
i eventually have to shut up

I love all manner of slurs: racist, classist, sexist, ableist, you name it. I'm of the Don Rickles and Richard Pryor mode of egregious hate and filth.
But I get and take to heart the real ramifications of the culturally skewed values that allowed them to prevail. And so that "Karen" is so blithely leveled against mostly white women genuinely pisses me off.
But I do hope that at some point we'll recognize (again) that Rabelasian, filthy, angry, vicious language can be an opportunity for joy for all.

Q: what does john zorn say when he meets an asian lady?
A: me so zorny....
the slur is turned on it's head coming from a white man (and zorn specifically) and becomes not about asian women, but white men
i love john zorn

I do rail again STB-L, and quite seriously. Along with Steve Jobs (and of course many others), I think he is largely responsible for messing up not just my pathetic life, but the lives of our children and so on. I'm sure he's a "nice guy," but he failed to think when he developed HTML. We are paying for the mistake.

I think the Isaac vs. Isaacs spelling variant on the album cover is a collector's dream come true, kinda like the inverted Jenny of stamp collector fame.
I'm guessing the Cool Ruler Gregory would not have been bothered by the 'tpyo'.

Sorry to drop the ball on the spelling variants thread... my communicator rang and rang and then a long-winded call ensued. I love the spelling mix-ups too!
