World of Warcraft

Image
The questgiver lives in the city and stands at the edge of the abyss Our lord was betrayed by temple and also by a kiss So One goes east And one goes west Both from the same winds blow 'Tis the setting of the sails and not the gale that point men where to go It isn't a world nor a secret garden Not some secret place It is thott's solution to Karnuk's problem: made into electron A point of time and space where the past is the future and the future is unwritten and the past recedes away into singularity unfolding the removal - of the inside we question why we travel on - the silent road and take down the overlord Not so much late or night as so, early morn The day unborn we are found in five ten twenty five forty Nature was the static Human was the noise Warcraft asks us to face difficulty with humor and an open mind And though experience is the teacher of fools if music be the food of love Then play on Even if in real

Freedom at Point Zero

Only a little life left but enough to hold on tight I have to stay focussed and keep myself in the fight There is nothing wrong within the act of letting go But only those who fight on will see freedom at point zero We're all in this together but we all die alone and struggle against the tether that binds us to future past But perhaps the first game we play is the one where we choose ourselves and leap into the fray and blast satan straight to hell Play to win and one day know freedom at point zero

Iraq in Fragments

They bind women and keep them under control whip themselves with chains the sunni and shia They taste dust and yellow sun and oil Shout words to the faithful violence for sin rhythmically winding their way away from Persia over and over again

Let's talk about 40 something women.

Image
I think the concept that a 40 year old woman is somehow aged beyond attraction is completely false. Women age differently than men, and 30 year olds , 20 year olds, 40 year olds, even 50 year olds - are all equally hot. Dita von Teese proves it. The image below is her, flanked by two twenty year olds. As a man, I honestly can't tell the difference. Maybe women have some secret way to tell... but for me, most women make me glad to be a guy and find myself as their complement. Feminine beauty has a timeless characteristic to it. Cherche la femme.

How Society Works

Altruism binds you to something more than just yourself helping others helps you as well If you're in a room and there is a beautiful girl four men can vy for her attention but only one will win This is how society works: she is playing the field she wonders who is going to be the one but she will entertain others if not for the adventure then for fun And they know game theory So we have manners and we have appearance gesture and the art of communication and with these tools she weaves a picture of the man she wants to have and leaves the other to wonder what happened and the one that goes home to play world of warcraft is the winner and the loser The important thing is to be careful of the girl who plays a level 85 night elf and has an epic mount

Seven Years on the Snow

Turn at the top your boards fly body flat along the fall knees tight The mountain always scares you seven years on the snow the town still looks like a toy crafted into the hillside like a model And on you fly skis together the wind blasting you land you fall you turn at the top skis together knees touch the snow feels light a small shout escapes your lungs the pretty german girl smiles as you fly by a bunny on black she's trying And you are flying Focus mistakes have consequence seven years on the snow shouting at the top of your lungs Focus Do my eyes deceive Listen to your heart Listen to the trees One day I was up there and I saw a man turn around to look at his girlfriend he hit a tree C-4 parapalege It feels good You feel alive And at the bottom of the run A little boy named Joshua holds up this many fingers (four) and says he loves skiing this was his first day his brother and dad were up on the mountain last year, but

A Short, Simple Note to Harlan Ellison

Dear Harlan Stop fucking around Write it Publish it And never call yourself a Jew if you are going to keep calling yourself an atheist Because to be a Jew is to be one of the chosen and Harlan if there is no-one choosing then there is no observer and if there is no observer what meaning does any rule or law have how can the wave function collapse the question of origin isn't just another question just like fluffy little clouds isn't just music or dancing it's trance Harlan Write the fucking book and make sure that you get it published because before you die I want to read it and know that it was in you all along Harlan I have the same dream but in mine the teeth eat and feed and the grotesque is consumed its bones cracked the marrow sweet the danger formed in the fabric of the night forged in light and nothing but a soft subtle reminder no need to bathe in the monstrous the power of our mind connects the dots to something greater

Focus

Humming a song from the seventies the cool sound of her voice in my head the workday falls away The problems are not easy the work is hard the net is there to distract me artifical heart and soul And I ignore the fact that all the information of the world is at my beck and call and get done with the more noble purpose of trying to take over the world And last night I didn't get to sleep at all

It escaped our telescopes. It was too dark. There weren't enough people looking for it before it happened. It was a cataclysm.

Ever Seen A Healthy Vegan?

Image
Someone asked me this question , this week. I thought about it for awhile.. nothing really came to mind. And then. ... I remembered ... someone... :) I've been full Vegan for 10 days now (achievement!: n00bsauce ) so I should probably study this person very carefully. I think I will devote some time to ... closely ... study.. her. She seems to be healthy, but, you know.. I think we need to make sure. At first glance, to me, she looks great :) - But appearances can be deceiving. It's better to make certain . All in the name of science.

How to stop an argument

Image
Most arguments are really about control. Specific issues change but the propensity to fight with someone usually means you're not happy with where you sit on the social hierarchy with them. A lazy husband finds an angry wife. A lazy wife finds an angry husband. It is their respective position relative to each other - their respective status - and what they feel it accords them, that can be the source of frustration. You go to a hotel. Check in, and go to your room. It has been a long trip. Shortly after you lay down on the bed, a jackhammer begins to pound the street outside your window. Metal on concrete. You are frustrated. Your expectation, fueled by your vehicle of status - the money you paid for the room you were to enjoy - has been dashed against the incessant sound coming through the window. You deserve to rest, you paid for the room - and yet the jackhammer continues to pound. You feel frustration. Frustration is a natural side effect of living in a large social commun

How to live life

My grandfather and I played chess. He was very good. On the board, and in his actions - he taught me alot about how to live life. He graduated from High School at age 16, and finished Medical School at 21. He started his own practice and a hospital. He had many children, and he was by and large happy. He would get up every day and go to work. When he retired from practice, he had delivered six thousand children. He performed 3,000 major operations. He married a girl - who was his girlfriend from elementary school, and he stayed married for 64 years. Altogether, my grandmother and grandfather were in love for nearly 77 years. So, what have I learned? From the chessboard I learned that making the move with your queen can make her a big target. Protect the pieces that are important to you. You've never figured out who I really am. And you never will. As a person, it's ok to be private. He was careful with money. My own sense of fiscal discipline helped me to avoi

How to watch a film

Image
The first step in watching a film, is to make it like a new year's resolution. Select carefully, and make sure you are going to follow through. Granted some movies can be so bad you'll leave them before they're done - but if you're careful, you can figure out which ones are good enough to stick through to the end. The next step is to realize that what you are seeing was first a book or a play - something written down and imagined. This part is important, because some of the most beautiful elements of many books and plays are those imagined by the reader. The director and the producer take an enormous leap of faith and artistic skill to attempt to bring these images to a kind of common language - but first and foremost, they exist as a part of your imagination - not theirs. Let yourself enjoy the film completely - but remember that it's up to you , ultimately, to knit together the missing pieces and solve the open riddle. Every film will have them. Alfred Hi

What I'm Doing Now

Image
I'll start off with what I'm not doing first. I'm not eating anything that ever had a face or a mother. That sort of happened organically over the last week. I'm full on vegan, and I'm loving it. I am not religious about this - because I reserve the right to eat whatever I want, and I'm an omnivore because I'm human - but that said, I'm definitely on the path toward better chow. Vegan doesn't mean anything wonderful about the world, or the environment - it means, simply - better food. Trust me on this point. I'm also not wasting any time on facebook. It's just a website. I'm pleasantly surprised that it eclipsed google as the number one visited site - but that said, it doesn't hold much utility for me. I have friends that are good friends, and a family that is warm, and supportive. I have recently said goodbye to some people I loved very much. I didn't update my facebook page. Because you don't know them, and I plan to w

Happy New Year

2011 is going to be a very good year. We just had alot of fun dancing to jazz, stripping almost naked, running around with underwear on our heads. Sparklers. And the limbo. We went out on to the deck and someone fired a mortar firework in our backyard; the sky lit with blues, reds and the trace of the shell in gold. Welcome to the year of our lord, two thousand eleven. Hang on for the ride. It's going to be fun.
