Call me a worn-out, drunken stoner, but I was surprised to open my mail and find that a three hour long, artsy French film had superseded ‘The Delta Force’ on my Netflix Queue. Then I noticed the words “Lesbians” and “NC-17,” which, from a male perspective, is roughly as appealing as watching terrorists get slaughtered by … Continue reading
In the midst of the healthcare “debate,” President Obama told the GOP that “If you don’t like this law…you’ve got to tell us specifically what you’d do differently.” The key part of that challenge is that he wants them to actually be specific, which is why it’s amusing to hear Republicans fire-back by saying; well, … Continue reading
Call me a downer, but lately I’ve been glued to the two great opinion-based news networks; MSNBC and FOX News. Yes, both. I’ve begun to wonder just how much they live up to their respective slogans. MSNBC’s jingle, “Lean Forward,” seems pretty appropriate. It makes me think of interesting discussions, progressiveness and all that Obama-esque … Continue reading
“You create your own reality.”- LSD While quite possibly the most useful of habits, a steady, positive outlook can be difficult to achieve. If someone understands that they are a transient creature of habit, the urgency of cultivating more useful habits becomes evermore apparent. So how do we explain the palpable supremacy of carelessly negative … Continue reading
“…Most people channel their pain into God or masturbation or some dream of making it.” -John Lennon Long ago, it just always seemed like an articulate argument could have the power to make objective truth prevail, until the realization that this was just masturbation. For a long time, life just got worse. Even before readings … Continue reading
I don’t know the truth, but I desire it, much more than I wish to fit in. How inside-out must one be for accuracy to supersede comfort? How conspicuous it must be, to be devoid of the cozy confines of the common bullshit-bubble. The uncommon pain in this gradually illuminated neck of the woods is … Continue reading
com•mu•ni•blurt•ing Noun: Delivering whatever must be said as boldly, quickly, positively and therefore effectively as possible, as to avoid wasting time and energy being invisible. In an age of utter debasement, no content should be off-limits as long as the approach is brief and considerate, and therefore devoid of self-absorbed negativity. This is best accomplished … Continue reading
“Hope is a dangerous thing” -Morgan Freeman, Shawshank Redemption I know how some of you may feel about an off-the-cuff synopsis of Absurdism from someone who has never finished a book on the subject, but whatever; it’s relatively simple to cram this topic into a nutshell. In order for laymen to effectively digest this ubiquitously revolting … Continue reading
This film is a hauntingly elegant balance of extremes. Based on a comic book series taken from Steven Knight’s flawed Jack the Ripper theory, it has the look of highly stylized graphic artwork grounded by the authentic look of the Sherlock Holmes of Nineteen-eighties PBS. It appears to be fully aware of the distorted absurdity … Continue reading
When I ask folks if they think the human race is moving toward a recovery, I get an interesting response. The ones that don’t just say “we’re doomed” tell me that the rapture is coming. If that be the consensus, it may explain the state of things. Ive seen a little too much of our … Continue reading
