News:

Bigotry is abound, apprently, within these boards.  There is a level of supposed tolerance I will have no part of.  Obviously, it seems to be well-embraced here.  I have finally found something more fucked up than what I'm used to.  Congrats. - Ruby

So, after 3 years, I finally needed to change my sleeping pills.

This new pill is either not working out well at all, or is working so fucking well that I'll never need to shave my head ever again.  It is impossible to make the call yet.

Up the revolution, Assmonkeys!

This shit is wasted on the United Nations.  WASTED, I tell you!  They should hang it up over every military recruiter's door.

I'm telling you, I've got obsidian-edged clubs flying out of the South, and the sky is black with chickens.

Well, not really, but I feel it SHOULD be.

Now I know how Marcel Duchamp must have felt.  (Interesting note:  He died 29 days before I was born.)  He said something about the spectator being part of the artistic process, once:

QuoteThe creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act.

Which SOUNDS like Yoko Ono bullshit until you think about it...Art is the act of changing peoples' emotional state in some way, and if nobody GETS you, then your art is not actually art.  It's some kind of whacking off, hipster-style.

But what if it only changes one person's emotional state? 


What if it only changes the artists'?

Is it still art?  Does art have a critical mass needed?

So, putting Guernica in front of a gigantic building full of brainless, passive-aggressive nationalists is kind of like jamming your junk in the mayonaise.  You may FEEL like you've accomplished something, but nobody ELSE benefits or KNOWS they benefit, even if they go make themselves a ham sammich.

Then it's art.  But in this case, it's retail art, and war is wholesale.

I think we call that a "sigil", and that is in fact wankery.

That is Guernica, Pablo Picasso's take on war, specifically the bombing of a Spanish village by Nazis, during the Spanish civil war (immediately preceding WWII).

It's the best depiction of warfare I've ever seen (if you look at it while you have lice and "concert ears", you pretty much get the full effect), and it is absolutely wasted in its current place.

The story of Guernica is at the link.  It's what Americans cheer for when they FUCK YEAH bombsight footage on CNN, down at the tavern.

Think I hit the speed of WALL.  Got all these bastards in the other building hanging on my leg, jabbering about shit that doesn't matter to a maintenance chief that doesn't care (which would be me).  They move like lightning, but speak only gibberish.  It's like working with a pack of severely retarded cocaine addicts.  What ARE these people doing anywhere NEAR a chemical refinery?  That's the only question I have.  Other than that, I ignore them, the way Ron Jeremy ignores huge crab lice that would kill a lesser man.  They are full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

It's sort of like working as a page in congress, I think, only without the constant threat of sodomy.

This Goddamn "lunch" of mine isn't food; it's what you feed to food.  How fucked up is that?  Your tastes finally change to healthier food, but at a slower rate than that which your body demands your diet change.  I like Indian food instead of Big Macs now, but most Indian cuisine is now a "sometimes" food.

Getting old is BULLSHIT, and not for sissies.

You get seeds?  I get some rabbit food and a mocking note from my daughter, who took goulash to school for lunch today. 

QuoteHey, Baldy:  Enjoy your weeds.  I'm eating meatballs and noodles and gravy today.

Her attitude seems to descend from her mother's side.  She certainly didn't get that impudence from me.
