Lay, Lady, Lay
Thoughts. Shit.

I’m once again posting here knowing perhaps only 3 people will read it. My tumblr is dull, unkept, flaccid and lacks character….like your mom.

This should be my last semester at that wretched excuse of a school Elac. I say should because nothing is for certain, even though I’ve been accepted to a number of different schools. It looks as if I’ll be heading up north to either Berkeley or Santa Cruz. Although I’d prefer Berkeley, Santa Cruz is a close second and wouldn’t mind attending. I hear great things about living in northern California and hopefully I will mesh well up there. 

Vague disinterest is how I’d describe my moods as of late. As dismal as it sounds, I’ve  somewhat grown to accept the ordinariness of life and people. I suppose its asking too much to want every person I meet to be as interesting as say, Stephen Fry; an erudite, articulate renaissance man. It’s not all bad. This just makes me appreciate those I meet who throw conventionality out the window and embrace their oddities and eccentricities.

I haven’t read a really good bookin some time now. 

I don’t really hate fat people that much anymore. 

I feel a tad stagnate in my personal and intellectual growth. 

Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah

That is all. 


Know Thyself

Knowledge of self is the beginning of all other knowledge. If you don’t know where you come from and you don’t know where you’ve been, then you don’t know where you are and where you’re going. Erasing a man’s history is designed to rob him of the confidence and sense of self-worth that is the root of our identity. It is dehumanization designed to allow others to then control that man. However, a man who knows his history and knows who he is will always have the confidence to assert his rights.

 

Ramblings. Thoughts. Shit.

post. on. tumblr.

I haven’t wrote in this here thing for some time now.

so. thoughts. vomit.

I don’t enjoy waking up to go to my math class, nor do i enjoy sitting on cracked wooden seats, and reading graffiti ethced on desk (and not the witty, “I’m a philosophizingcollege student who just had to share this profound quote i read in a Dostoevsky novel” kind of grafitti.) I also equally dislike watching my math teacher refuse to write a negative sign. example? to him, it shouldn’t be written 9-7=2 but  9+-7=2. I guess the entire math community has it all wrong.

I’m still working at kmart and i’m suprised i havent quit or gotten fired by now. Its ridiculous how little i care and how little the management seems to care about this.

Of all the books i’ve read recently, my favorite was ‘my booky wook’ by russell brand. i wanna be a heroine addict and bang prostitues. i’m sure a self destructive life style is more interesting than what i’m doing. i’d take 50 charlie sheen years over 150 martha stewart years any day. i dont think that made much sense?

i’m set to apply for transfers in the fall. i’m ready to leave this mundane cesspool, even without having a clear and decisive idea about where I’m leaving to or what i’m leaving for. but i think i’m leaving.

I’m absolutely petrified of living an ordinary life, although the course i’m on seems to be leading me to just that.

ramblings. shit.

i was once sitting with a woman. she told me about her day and i was completely disinterested. she was politie, i was not. my eyes wandered from the table where we were sitting at to the lights on the ceiling to her breast to the cars zooming by outside the coffee house where we were conversing. she was dull. and i was disinterested. maybe she was too.


Dulce et Decorum Est

by Wilfred Owen
Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind.

Gas! Gas! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumbling,
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time;
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime...
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.

If in some smothering dreams you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,—
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.


… … . .

why do you think more participation by the public is the answer ?

its the only hope that i can see that other values will come to the fore. if a society is based on control by private wealth it will reflect the value that the only real human property is greed and the desire to maximize personal gain at the expense of others. a small society based on that principle is ugly but it can survive. a global society based on that principle is headed for massive destruction, and that’s what we are… … . we have to have a mode of social organization that reflects other values that i think are inherent in human nature that people recognize. what are human beings ? in your family for example, its not that case that every person tries to maximize personal gain at the expense of others, if they do then that would be pathological. if you and i are walking down the street and we see a child eating a piece of candy and we see nobody is around and we happen to be hungry we don’t steal it, if we did that would be pathological. the idea of care for others and concern for other peoples needs are all part of human nature. these are elements of human nature that are suppressed in a social and cultural system which is designed to maximize personal gain. we must try to overcome that suppression, and that’s perhaps what democracy may bring about.


Whenever I sign into my Tumblr account and look through my dashboard I find it a bit disapointing. I would love to read the original thoughts of those I follow on this site rather than see reblogged pictures of shoes, clothing and malnurished models in underwear. But it’s all gravy I suppose. 

The posted song is one that has been in my head since I first heard it when I was nine years old. It’s fantastically sad and beautiful all at the same time. I get stricken with a sense of nostalgia whenever I listen to it. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Goodbye. 


Thoughts

Thoughts….

 

#1. I’ve concluded that the a large portion of people have absolutely nothing interesting to say. If indeed they do have some original thought worth expressing I’d much rather read about it in book than here it from their lips.

#2. Sex is no longer interesting. It’s a decent way to spend some time, but I think it’s incredibly overrated and I can easily name 5 other things I’d rather be doing. I despise the combined smell of latex and vagina. I hate when I feel her sweat on my skin, it makes me want to bathe in rubbing alcohol.

#3. After re-reading the first two numbers, I feel even more cynical than I already knew I was. I’m not quite sure why I’m such a cynic at times….but I am. I can however say with a certain level of sincerity that I am very hopeful about the future. Mine in particular. I do look forward to the unfolding of my life and what will take place during this brief time I have here.

#4. I feel as if I were thrusted out of my mothers womb at birth toward a large barndoor studded with spikes and nails. I often find my thougths fixated on the large nails I will inevitably crash into. I guess I’ll try to spend the remainig time living in a way that isn’t damaging to the others in flight along side of me.

#5. I really do like sex. It’s quite fun. I think I equally enjoy the months leading up to it. The coercion of a slightly less intelligent female. They are good people though. I should not bash em….no pun intended.

#6. My dear cousin told me she felt no boy could keep up with her lifestyle as well as (and perhaps more importantly) her thought processes. I feel this way at times. Maybe this narcissistic tendency is genetic.

#7. I hope to live to see and take part in a revolution. There are mini uprisings going on but I would love to partake in an era of complete and utter revolutionary upheaval. The kind you read about in history books.

#8. I sometimes feel as if I’ve begun a period of regression in my life. I haven’t been inspired and my thoughts haven’t been swayed in months. I don’t like this very much. I need to be introduced to new authors and such.

#9. One thing that has remained consistent is my absolute disgust of individuals who grew up privileged and, perhaps even more so, the ones who take it for granted. I wouldn’t for a second take back the turmoil and stress of growing up in a financially strained home. The only reason I push myself for better is because I’ve spent the larger portion of my life trying to crawl out of the pits of poverty. It has had a bitter sweet affect on my life. I don’t really hate wealth nor do i wish to someday become wealthy. I’ve reached a station in life where I can foresee the vanities of wealth. I want something meaningful is all I’m saying….and I’m almost certain meaning can’t be found in money.

#10. What was so entertaining about “Gumby?”

I Can See Your Doodle…

I need a break…and perhaps a social life. I’ve finally been inducted into a secret fraternity of teens who have no time and no life. We nod at each other as we pass on the street, giving a knowing quarter smile. My room is filled with empty monster energy drink cans to eeek out an extra hour to cram for a test…I’m keeping them to some day pass on to my children (assuming i ever get time to fornicate). soooo you know you’re overworked when…

….your left eye twitches involuntarily (why is it always the left?)

….you forget what your last meal was ? when’s the last time i ate ?

…..you talk to yourself out loud, disagree with what you said, get in a fight, and then don’t speak to yourself for 20 mins

…..you stop drinking water cause pissing is such a waste of time.

…..you write the same sentence twice

…..you write the same sentence twice

…..you accidentally doze off while driving (don’t worry it’s only happened once)

…..you’re slightly aroused by this picture

gotta love it though


War Is Over….

The labor of the exploited peoples around the Equator is not really necessary to the world’s economy. They add nothing to the wealth of the world, since whatever they produce is used for purposes of war, and the object of waging a war is always to be in a better position in which to wage another war.


I Hate To Have To Say It

And she doesn’t want to press charges
My yellow cousin
Ghost of a gypsy
Drunk off the wine of pressed grapes
Repressed screams
Of sun shriveled raisins
And their dreams
Interrupted
By a manhood deferred

Will she ever sober?
Or will they keep handing her glasses overflowing
With the burden of knowing

The ghost of a little girl in the desolate mansion of my manhood
Am I a man now?

Lord, don’t let her fall asleep
Her brother’s got keys to her dreams
He keeps them on a chain
That now cuffs his wrists together

Mommy doesn’t believe he did it
But he’s left footprints on the insides of his sister’s eyelids
And they’ve learned to walk without him and haunt her daily prayers

And if you rub your fingers
Ever so softly on her inner thigh
She’ll stop you
Having branded your fingertips
With the footprints of her brother
The disbelief of her mother
And a sister who called her a slut for sleeping

Rise and shine my mother used to say
Rise and shine
But how can I?
When I have crusted cloud configurations pasted to my thighs
And snow covered mountains
In my memories
They peak into my daily
And structure my moment
They hide in the corners of my smile
And in the shadows of my laughter

My hands have been tied behind the back of another day
If only I could have them long enough to dig up my feet
Which have been planted beneath the soiled sheets
Of a harvest that only hate could reap

I keep trying to forget

But I must remember

And gather the scattered continents
Of a self once whole
Before they plant flags
And boundary my destiny
Push down the warted mountains that blemish the soiled soul
Before the valleys of my conscience get the best of me
I’ll need a passport just to simply reach the rest of me
