The New Media

friday the 13th...twas a day of very bad energy. i witnessed four near accidents and many stupid drivers. a lot of odd things happened too. lights flickering for the first time ever. coincidences galore. i definitely believe coincidences are just that, but when many occur in a very short period...i perk up. it cant just be the day. that doesnt make any sense. i think it's mass hysteria. collective improvisation of a multitude of minds. that's how you make superstitions come true. if enough people believe in them, the energy vibrations from those thoughts can join each other and actually bring that idea in to existence. maybe that's how prayer and chanting work. in fact, i believe it is. it has to come from strong minds, and strong intention. it is intentions that are the basis of energy for an action. nothing always turns out right. one may have good intentions but ruin a situation. there is no evil in that. only mishaps and a negative(in regards to pleasure and stress reduction) outcome. if one removes desire from their life, suffering will vanish.

fuck late night infomercials
fuck tvs atop gas station pumps
fuck all of you who want nothing more than pleasure out of life.
fuck the pricks in federal hill who love drinkin and fuckin
im the prick from dc who makes love and gets blitzed off of friends and good times
the world is full of too much bull shit
this is the shit the pollutes our minds
materialism, desire, and greed. these are what makes humans evil.
we have a blank slate. we have hearts of gold.
but only until the curse of pop culture reigns down upon the masses of ignorant nubile minds.
who is there to dispute the dynasty of commercialism?
we are all too entangled. even those who remove themselves are too far removed to understand the role it plays.
the cycle of bullshit and false hope is inescapable.
drunks pick up half-lit cigarettes from the street.
girls lay incoherent on the stoop of the market.
irish pubs spew college men past their prime.
drunk girls still wander home with those with the worst intentions.
no one cares anymore. i just want to meet someone who cares.
is there anyone i can talk to anymore?

suddenly it all seems so appropriate

This is the story of your red right ankle
And how it came to meet your leg
And how the muscle bone and sinews tangled
And how the skin was softly shed
And how it whispered,
"Oh, adhere to me for we are bound by symmetry
And whatever differences our lives have been
We together make a limb"
This is the story of your red right ankle

This is the story of your gypsy uncle
You never knew cause he was dead
And how his face was carved an ripped with wrinkles
In the picture in your head
And remember how you found the key
To his hide-out in the Pyrenees,
But you wanted to keep his secret safe,
So you threw the key away?
This is the story of your gypsy uncle

This is the story of the boys who loved you
Who love you now and loved you then
And some were sweet and some were cold and snuffed you
And some just layed around in bed
And some, they crumbled you straight to your knees
Did it cruel, did it tenderly
Some they crawled their way into your heart
To rend your ventricles apart
This is the story of the boys who loved you
This is the story of your red right ankle

quantum physics is the bane of my existence

"...why is mathematics so effective in describing nature and is mathematics an invention of the human mind or part of the fabric of physical reality?"

i have often wondered that myself. why IS mathematics so good at describing the world? who is to say that two trees ARE two trees and not three. who's to say three isn't fifteen? consistent labeling has allowed humanity to leave our planet. it has allowed us to drive steam engines across continents (while [in]humanly enslaving others physically, emotionally, and culturally). patterns and the identification of such made for incredibly ancient calendars. so what if it's all wrong? there are things we cannot describe with contemporary mathematics. we, well scientists, are simultaneously looking at the most infinite expanses in the universe and the most infinitesimally small particles that KIND of exist. they are beyond conventional and even theoretical physics. what does that say for our "math?" it has brought civilization this far. god, i mean the church certainly didn't do it (sorry jesus, your pops ain't gettin' no props). good ol fashion human ingenuity. yeppers. that's the shit right there. but now it could kill us all in a single blast (thank you manhattan project). will this imaginary mathematics ever save us? lead us into understanding? it's about time humans evolved again. where you at third limb??







oh, heey there!

dont be scared, it's just a name

"how the hell are we going to keep up with our retired employee health benefits when we can barely keep our doors open???" GM (generally misguided). maybe i'm blinded by my own biases, but i really can't think of any other solution to these problems than a nationalized health care system. c'mooon Obama, where's that shit at?? oh, right. socialism. baad. "democapitalocracy." good. hmpf. socialism seems to have this scary aura about it, when really it could probably fix shit. the more i hear about this economic shit storm, the more i hear about problems related to health care and benefits. the answer seems to be right there. i guess i should file my taxes now to get my money before it's all gone. i thin i should start my training in (s)wordsmithery to defend myself if the world comes to fisticuffs.

when i was a young lad, i looked up at the infinite heavens and could not help but stand in awe. the size of the universe, the sheer number of stars and infinitesimally small feeling i got from it was incredible. soon after the thought arose that with so many stars, so many other solar systems and so many galaxies, there must be another one of me looking back at me on some other planet earth, in another maryland, in another hyattsville, in another exact replica of my backyard. the possibilities, with so much supposedly infinite space in the universe, are endless, therefore allowing, at least by my own logic (and apparently the logic of astrophysicists as i have recently learned) there to be another planet earth. This would then mean that everything could be happening simultaneously here and there. As i think to write this sentence, my counterpart is doing the exact same thing, at the exact same time. that begs the question though, that if the chances that things are happening at the same time are not as high as if that same "universe" or "existence" was rolling along ahead or behind my own, is my destiny already predetermined? if not trillions of light years away? that would also open up time travel in that i could visit "myself" on planet earth #1/2 and see my world in the same particular set up, just not as far along as my own, or even earth #56 (future). i have free will, in the sense that i may never know those other existences because of the great infinity, but the chances are so convincing, that i cannot really believe it. at least right now. but it makes life easier to ignore that fact and choose as if you had the choice. i've got to go to work.

live for yourself!think before you speak!everything your mum tolled you! elieve she was right!only lie when you have to!be honest!believe what everyone tells you!be alone!be afraid of yourself!believe in yourself!true faith is speech speaking:

do you ever feel like you're never yourself? do you ever feel like the ocean is empty? how long til we're bored of ourselves again. the ocean is the only thing that'll save us now. id give anything to live again. i'd trade anything for 1950 again. like the end of the world was only three hours away. if only in your heart i reside. the ocean is the only thing that will save you now. i said...
