THOUGHTS: Classic and elegant is always in style… Looking like a harried nutjob chasing the next big thing in apps or buzz doesn’t seem to be good business. Being refined is always modern. A (more…)
Hyperbole & Mischief – my silent moments are not distance.
So much of all *this* is hyperbole, or mischief, or profundity, or missives, and musings, and thoughts unclear & certainly immaterial. Â It frightens me at how frightened others would be to find something (more…)
Most calls in the pre-dawn moments are horrifying.
How about I randomly call you at 3.30am or 4:45am in the morning just to say hi? Is that okay for most of you? Wouldn’t it be magnificent if a call in the middle of the night was something odd rather (more…)
A thought.
It took me dating about 25 self proclaimed “freaks” that were simply “heavily tattooed deviants” before I realized that they are *NOT* more fun and crazy and passionate and “hip”, rather…. they are simply (more…)
Chickenshit Conformist
In honor of a new gridlock in the government this morning, and the epic cycle of failure starting over and over… I give you the single greatest song in the history of punk rock. It’s not just about (more…)
Delusional vs Altered – Time is still the best censor
Did it cut to deep for a reply-all? Â No no no. Â You just sound bitter about the Phillies. It shook me for a second, though. Â Not because it was inappropriate, but it made me think deeper for (more…)
“We are obliged to put an emotional distance between us and them” or Tribalism in Sports (in honor of the Giants)
So contemplate this: For millions of years, our male ancestors are scampering about, throwing rocks at pigeons, running after baby antelopes and wrestling them to the ground, forming a single line of shouting, running hunters and trying to terrify a herd of startled warthogs upwind. Imagine that their lives depend on hunting skills and teamwork. Much of their culture is woven on the loom of the hunt. Good hunters are also good warriors. Then, after a long while—a few thousand centuries, say—a natural predisposition for both hunting and teamwork will inhabit many newborn boys. Why? Because incompetent or unenthusiastic hunters leave fewer offspring. I don’t think how to chip a spearpoint out of stone or how to feather an arrow is in our genes. That’s taught or figured out. But a zest for the chase—I bet that is hardwired. Natural selection helped mold our ancestors into superb hunters.
To the fallen and the future
Work is really weird… the way you cultivate something and know it’s the right time to walk away from something… your baby.. but it’s hard to do? In the past, I always mingled with – teased, (more…)
Going on Record – Chuck Bukowski
The “burning in water, drowning in flame” thing is a Charles Chinowski Book. Â Or is it Charlie Bukowski? Â Or is it just Chuck? Â Chuck is not Mickey Rourke. Remember that.
Atheists, Agnostics know more about religion than the religious
But it’s also a lack of belief, in this case. It’s impossible to explain, which is why I default to humanism when talking about this, because it’s so much nicer to explain that with a hug.
