Yeah, the comments really yield much of the stuff from the decade, half of which i haven't heard, but i have heard the names though. Good mini analyses spread throughout.

There was something extra written up by Ran Prieur today, to paraphrase via Deng Xiaoping: No matter if it is a white cat or a black cat; the owner is still a prick.

The book mentioned by Prieur. My father keeps asking me if my mother's death has affected me. In one sense, I don't recall, I don't have any sentiment associated with that. I hated the pressure she put me to finish my homework, I'd become paralized from the pressure. Incompletion to me was the same as failure, if by the due date, it was incomplete, why bother doing it at all. I want to talk to someone a bit more qualified to talk about these things. I treat my brother in a similar manner, I really really hope he hates me, if he were to kill me in my sleep, or while awake, I'd be more than glad to submit to his blows, his stabbings, his bullets. I know what pisses off more my father is keeping him awake. In his job doing recordings, while recordings take place, no one can breathe, I have the little pride of being quieter than Anne Frank when I need to be. One Parent down, one to go. I dont want to be fucking with anyone if the other person isnt into it, really I'd much rather be dragged into it or explicitly told what are the lines that can or cannot be crossed. Really set up the boundaries and I'll do my best to romp around within them. I'm having trouble with my current employment, I can bite, and I can chew, but I don't know neither portions, nor table manners, or at least that's the gesalt I'm getting, might resign or something like that. I find it nearly impossible to communicate to my parents any setbacks period, I'd tell them things are ship shape when things are really sleeping with the fishes. Failure is not an option, no mention of failure, no failure has occurred.

Ok Fuck. I need to fix up my bike ASAP. Seriously I need to fix it up/finish it. I need to go outside, I feel that the car is way too enclosed and problematic (where the fuck do I park) plus gasoline is $$$ and I want to avoid spending money. Plus I like being outdoors, but this is fooking America, my legs cant take me very far, so I need friggin seven league boots to actually take me places in a reasonable amount of time. My bike is those seven league boots, but right now their stitching needs mending, and the sole needs repair. I lack thread and rubber, and I have to wait a while before I can get the money to buy them. Right now I'm looking at spending something close to 150 smackers to get the wheel done and over with.

Given names given to orgasms like 'la petite mort' , the ever famous 23 Psalm sounds rather interesting:

1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death, [a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.

Another thing is the origin of the 'rib' that god pulled out of Adam to create Eve. An interesting way to look at it is the strange lack of a penile bone in humans, given that every single other mammal has it.

In american society, things are so individualized that even things like major economic depressions are the stuff of individual experience. A measure of a great depression is by the individual household. I am starting to loose the notion that there is going to be this great collective experience of GD2 like the first one. I am scared of looking through amateur porn previews and seeing someone from HS there. At the momemnt I am apathetic to the suicidal, that is I'll grind myself through malnutrition and sloth into an unmarked grave in a passive/agressive suicide. I am rather scared. I want to hug, cuddle, fuck, make out, and eat with people, I sometimes wish that I actually had a drug addiction, a singular cause to solve neatly and simply. I wish I had the personal wealth to just dive into drugs and hookers and jungian psychotheraputic session on MDMA cocaine and other pharmacopia. I treat my brother coldly and harshly and am not sure if i would be able to be a good parent to my own future children.

In other news Hipsterrunoff has died, Carles has an heroed his role in the blag and two very un-carles-like, and very un-hipster-like vermin have taken over. I hope this is an elaborate joke, if not, the analogue would be if 4chan's /b/ was replaced by semi-erudite discussion about internet sociology by the staff of various universities. In other words, the laser-guided layer of wit and analysis of culture through the language layer of a gaiafag hipster is dead for now. Here's hope to a Jesus resurrection three days later, hope spidey breaks him out http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p160/anthony-fwwm/feature42.jpg . I will toast some Hornitos in carles' honor.

On another note, seriously, wtf, is every menstruating female around here experiencing problems with their menses this last week? Did I just happen upon a synch wink of awareness at a time lots of women around me are experiencing menstrual oddities? Not naming names (look at the Friend's page thing a ma bob, and figure out the females) but lots of people, plus my aunt, have in the last week complained or mentioned issues with their menstruation. I remembered getting freaked out when I would go to mom and see blood all over the place from her flow starting overnight, I asked looking for deep gashes or some sort of evidence of a artery hitting pin or something like that, I only figured it out in hindsight.

Been Dunking my face deep into Crystal Castles this past week, my ears are starting to hurt. I seriously recommend their recompilation album with 15 tracks on it, I keep my ears close to the speakers, held closely, snorting up the late electro bass and letting it drip down my ear canal into my brain, where the teeth clenching eases momentarily, the mouth opens and cool air passes over the tongue. I have been listening on repeat the tracks Air Wars, Knight, and Black Panther(this last one has a youtube vid of the song put to the light cycles sequence in Tron, OMG Tron is so hardcore, amazing CGI for 1982). Of course the traditional stalwarts of Magic Spells, Vanished, and Crimewave keep things going prettily when it comes to song jumping between artists. Another track not part of the album cannot be helped but be mentioned is Crystal Castles's complete rebuild of Uffie's Pop the Glock, the track does not merit the mere name of remix, it is a through rebuild of the song to Crystal Castle's liking. The song Make it Hott (credited to Uffie, as a Crystal Castle remix or credited to Crystal Castles featuring Uffie, your milage may vary on authorship, search for both variations)

Another note is that I have witnessed with my own eyes the phenomenon of organized lattices of contrails over my part of the SE Florida metropolitan area. In circles that note strange phenomenon and attempt to find the intent behind these, these organized contrail lattices are called chemtrails, due to unusual chemicals and substances found suspended in the air shortly after the appearance of these lattices. In the case of Phoenix Arizona, unusually high concentrations of Gallium, Aluminium, and other metals were found in environmental air samples earlier this year; Phoenix has been known among these observatory circles to have experienced the manifestation of organized latticed contrails on a repeated constant basis. Guesses as far as intent is concerned goes somewhere between mind control of the masses and secret geoengineering efforts.
I have had my doubts about these, as photographic evidence is not that telling, and its generally described as something that has to be seen to be believed. Well, I have seen it, it is rather impressive to see a lattice being laid out, line by line. To clarify, these are definitely not typical navigational patterns by commercial aircraft, I live near a local/regional airport, and between two large international airports, so I am familiar with the usual antics of air traffic controllers. In any case, it is curious to see phenomena that was previously heard from in far off places being seen locally. http://www.urbansurvival.com/blog/?p=1851

I like the general commentary, however I would like to point out that this helps explain Japan 100X better than deep anthropological explorations (apologies to anthropologists).

As an aside, I was recently reminded of the Dawson's casting (Obligatory TVTropes: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DawsonCasting ) in OMGz JUST 18 pornography, when a site actually got some actual 18 year olds, the effect is... interesting, for a second there I started to wonder if I had happened upon kiddie porn, and I took the five minutes of clicking around to see the little legal disclaimer of 'all peeps in this site are 18+'.

I calmed down a bit, but the thought of dawson's casting stuck to me, and its funny how weird things look; '18 year olds' that are more like 23 year olds, MILFs who are neither mothers nor the implied promise of being in their mid-30s+ and are probably in their mid to late 20s (yeah yeah, hit me with the whole "but its possible", but this is talking about porn-valley show-biz we're dealing with). Oh, and BTW, that black black black eyeliner stuff is creepy, this is fricking 2009, not emo-era 2002 peeps, yes the emotional underlayer is still there, but please, the raccon eyes thing does not work, it makes people look like they had fallen down the stairs after a good slug to the face.

Maaaaan, the US is so broke. As a recompilation artist of other's work, I'll just say that there is no chance in hell the US can conceivably continue to borrow, its locked in a GKO http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GKO spiral, that is to say, its locked in a ponzi scheme where the money gotten by new Treasuries sold is paying off older issues. This isn't quite problematic at first, but its all running on super short loan paying off previous supershort loan. Think of going to a pawnshop and pawning off a golf ball for money; then going back right before its due, you go to the same place and pawn off another golf ball to get money to pay off the original pawn loan, and so on and so forth.

With US sovereign debt, this is pretty much what has been going on now for the last year or so; the interest rates are a lot lower with treasuries compared to a pawn shop loan, but in the long term the result is the same, an o shit moment occurs where the interest rates eat up everything and a default occurs from lack of ability to pay.

I know I'm repeating myself, but its true, and its something that is eating at me, a silent shadow on my shoulder, a memento mori if you will.

I need to get off my ass. Got to go and buy for next three month's worh of stalples. Rice, yes, lentils, yes, meat, doesnt keep well, buy up next two week's worth tho.

Ever since the floods of last year, I've been keeping an eye on US agriculture, these articles confirm other observations and predictions I've read earlier in the year.

A wise investment advice is to stock up on bulk food now; basic stuff, rice, pasta, beans; stuff that is easy to cook into nice simple meals; the reason being that buying at current prices, you save lots of money compared to the inevitable increases later on in the year/next year, as the shortages from crappy harvests affect the price of food. A 20 pound bag of rice lasts about 45 days split among three people.

I remember there was a Photoshopped Cover of Cosmo where it said the essence of the magazine, "500 ways of putting PENIS IN VAGINA!!!!" "YOU LOOK FAT here's 210 ways of MARGINALLY DEALING WITH THAT!!!"

On a related note, here's a picture of the last time Cosmo had a man on the cover http://www.gono.com/adart/Cosmopolitan/Cosmopolitan-November-1953-1.jpg

http://vimeo.com/4241608 (NSFW for drawn titties and testes and uteruses sometime after 3:30) On an intellectual level, I am definitely not inclined towards cocaine, there is way too much blood involved to make it worth it, MDMA is reportedly to have similar effects that last significantly longer, as well as significantly lower probabilty for addiction. However on an emotional level, cocaine has its appeal with the ritualized nature of its consumption, taking the drug out onto a mirror, crushing it, forming the lines, taking the straw, snorting it, inclining the head back to let the drip run, that kind of rituality has a great appeal, compared to the pop-in-mouth-and-enjoy of MDMA. Another factor is the social nature of the use of the drug, the way one trades line for line with company, a social point of ingestion again not really comparable to MDMA. The nearest analogue would be the rituals and sharing involved with the smoking of Marijuana, with rather similar forms of preparation, except in the creation of a joint, the packing of a bowl, and the stoned circle of sharing of the joint or the pipe. I would like to clarify that I have not consumed cocaine, and do not plan to, perhaps in the form of Bolivian coca tea if I so happen to be there and in that kind of circumstance. In general its the communal ingestion and enjoyment that I seek of such encounters, not unlike sex http://www.realadultsex.com/archives/2005/10/so-what-brings-you-here-orgasms-and-sex http://www.realadultsex.com/archives/2005/11/wonderful-sex-advice-from-a-former-prostitute . Going back to drugs, I am constantly half starving, and so in reaction my body is keeping me in this opiate cloud. This notion of bodily opium as a starvation reaction is interesting as it explains several cliches of opiate use, particularly of heroin, the constipation, the thinness. From that arises the question whether heroin addicts who recover through religion are more likely to fast than their fellows who have not been exposed to similar experiences.

Remix manufacturing? Taking samples from past industrial design (typically stuff from the 40s and 50s) and mushing up different design elements from different countries and mashing them up into 'interesting' and 'authentic' 'household' items? I think that is what I want to do, start a remix industrial design economy. The link regarding the effect that computers/Albeton Live/internet has on creating the indie musical remix economy has me expectant of the developments in 3D printers/DIY multi-machine-tools/Instructables I want to be part and parcel of the new design remix economy, and do really cool things, like a homemade Citroen 2CV Chassis with [super-effecient air cooled engine] and a stainless steel cabin; keeping the zaniness of the original but with what parts are available now, something like the mid 80s examples with Chevy-style disk brakes (brake pad replacement is a brainless task with these) and mebe something with acceleration snappier than a train? Or mebe something closer to the original TPV prototypes with aluminum all around and a water cooled engine.

Hmm, Didn't know Azor was founded by a Union guy. Azor makes the 1600+ USD Workcycles bikes CleverCycles in Portland sells. Looks like a lot of money, but its a really good value, expect it to last 10+ years with the current 8-speed equipment setup, 30+ with a simpler 3-speed or singlespeed setup. I've taken the time to do the math on piecing together a bike from frame and parts and 1600USD is a pretty good price, I figure they have lots of automazation, my own analysis had me paying 1000USD in parts,1400USD assuming 400usd for the frame, based on the Velo Orange Polyvalent frame price, robowelded in Taiwan. I can bring it down somewhat but, the prices are still rather comparable to what the Dutch can bring here.

Hey Wyndy, this might answer your "why pretty gay mens" question.

Have not started reading this, but its super-long, and very 'interesting'.

Am worried. I am disconnected from lots of people. I leave the house for groceries, taking my brother to and from school, and work on the weekends. I have a noodling goal of 'sharing many positive sexual experiences' but it seems so far away. I haven't made any friends in a long while, like I still talk to people from HS, and some people from Tally, but its mostly a Facebook thing. Like what should I do? Rent a motel room for a month, consume lots of marijuana and have sex with hookers (hah! I wish I had the money to consider that an option), go rent a friend like going to a psychologist, or do something zany like join the army and beg to go to afghanistan. I'm complaining right now and I am going to whine because I can and I am, and I have the compulsive tic of constantly defending and explaining my actions. I just want to talk talk to non-familially-related-persons at length, sleep on the couch and continue doing so for a week or so at a time or something like that. 2012 is way too far away, and apart from leaving the florida peninsula, I ain't going to do anything special about it, and do what passes for 'normal' and 'successful' during the next couple of years. I still think the dollar is going to completely die within the next year or two, and I'll deal with that as I can. I am very much at liberty, but not very free. Oh and the band 'Girls' suck, whoever the fuck thought it was a good idea to say they are remotely good on Pitchfork should just put all of his money in stocks. That being said, interview portions about drugs are rather interesting. Oh and my mother died on the 30th of August, because apparently I'm too subtle to effectively communicate. I think depressive reactions to her death are showing up, please can I go to sleep and wake up several months from now ok thank you very much for that favor thanks. I am going to stop writing, bored.

I can listen to this on a Vitrola, in the half bombed out shell that was once an apartment building on an overcast spring day, lying listless, half hungry, there is a bottle full of clean water by my side, I'll probably drink some soon, I'm thirsty.

http://sharonastyk.com/2009/02/10/20-plants-you-should-consider-growing/
tl;dr, these plants are idiot proof, wait right before rain comes, chuck some on the ground, toss dirt on them, wait a few weeks, presto, food. Beets are best when boiled like potatoes, then cut into slices and served with salt, in fact they're pretty much purple potatoes.

Yeah.

This is getting bad, I posted up some links by Mike Ruppert a while ago, and this confirms their release to the public at large, lots of conflicting info, but its a real mess the whole thing. Just fuck, I'm going to be all hermit-like during the week and go to work when I have to, and buy up food and stuffs.

Lots of rampant speculation, 1918 flu, pneumonic plague, Tubercolosis, anything that produces lots of death and coughing up blood, like in anime, this means that the end is near for that person.
