danny: it is astounding how your brain works...as i twiddle my day away at work, i am envious of your capacity to, what seems like, entertain yourself through the twists and turns of your brain.

iIl-Literalists???????

haha. The context to the below is I listened to a david lynch lecture on creativity and consciousness, almost all of it being on the pluses of meditation. More craziness on its way on this Friday.
ARSENAL SIGNED ARSHAVIN! We're going to win the league (or at least champions league)

An Ewww Huh -------- ILL-LINEARLISTS

--------------Cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool down. One thing at a time, beware the current that finds you far down the timestream where you missed your destination, your insert situation. My vision touches on too much shifting virtual, the back of my brain flashes a neon red in reflection of all the artificial taken in that must dealt with. Shut my eyes... I've heard so much of this blank wakefulness, this one with all-----I don't know it, upon their closing it is a call for all within(those brain denizens [cells] like in Far Side comics) to shut down, to take their midday break from all their training they've had. They are an orchestra, each attempting to master his own instrument while experimenting and recording at the same time, his and the whole and his with the whole it is oh no to the conductor, me, head of the class and I can't control these bratty little kids (I = bratty kid? I cant control myself? Who is in charge? The conductor is always changing, hes replaced with a new somebody who finds he also cant handle it, but Then-Success, for that split second the sparks fly and genius is made and then it is gone). I take in a new experience, stimulation, 1-shot knowledge, and there is no synthesis. I write in reflection to the daily, to the instant, not to any field of unity. Shoot a different direction..NoW>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>nope there's no space to return and shoot from anew, I am yet still in my same instant. Now it's like what job am I going to get after this one, Edit: stress, stress, stress, and im chill again. Niche? I think I need a solitary niche, a sound/visual space for me to collect myself cause see I havent made raps in a while.

--------------I'm going to start meditating (which i have said many a time); wait a second, meditation??!?!? Shit I want to play some DoTA=opposite of peace of mind. Toby when you get back from your retreat will you lead us in meditation sessions? Or at least me? I promise to take it seriously.

(Edit: Now I go on tangent because of my asking Toby something which I will probably need to do again later.)
-----------Who is my audience right now? How does posting on this blog relate to us hanging out? How does me writing this at work relate to the blog? Shittttttt. Like Ryan, I just read your entry on the "treasures" today after our whole hanging out. This causes things to be outside of time, illinear (illinearlists?? ill-linearlists??!!!) an alternate space from which we are living. IS THIS EVEN WORSE?? Im trying to be at one with anysort of unified whole/consciousness, not trying to ride the virtual into a partitioned head space. Im going to post this up and trip out later (Edit: Naw me no trip.) I wont know how it relates to me as I see you the next time at 5:30 in the afternoon. Danny-eating-Dinner is already estranged from Danny-as-blog-typist!! Danny-as-he-types is intimidated to become Danny-as-editor. Danny-editor doesn't know where to take this, how does he synthesize Danny-blogger and Danny-eating-dinner??? And Infinite/always-future-Danny doesn't give a fuck duh. This will just be another odd reflection of an unsynthesized moment, lost in internet-time and computer-space. Should this even be posted?? If i delete it, its like it didnt exist, I cant do that!!! DAMN SON.

Edit2.0: Its Cowboys and UFO's
what you say goes
if its for the blog
its seperate from a log
of a life or a time its just a split second then its fine
do it big kid I do it how it is i get it out i get it out.
Edit: Just Writing to stay awake and have something to do. (Up and Down)

Danny from the future: Just warning you Danny-in-the-present and friends-in-the-present, this could be the point where your blog begins to implode.
Danny now: Its already done. Plus all these italicized edits are worthwhile and original in some way.
Danny from the future: Dude your turning this blog into your own wierd public headspace for you to air out your idiocy b/c your so bored at work.
Danny now: Naw, its a team effort. I would not be so creative on my own. Each of us will rise up in our own way and siphon the life force of the moment and put it on the internet. This WONT be alone and lost.
Danny from the future: Text color too? This is stupid.
Danny now: probably.
..BALLING!!

Whistling Languages

Theres a few of them all over the world. Crazy as hell. Fuck, and I can't even whistle.

and when young dawn with her rose-red fingers shone once more...
Success!!! Yes those how make it home to 271 will have some lovely treats awaiting them. So come join the feast grand enough for the gods, and enjoy our treasures.

"Good blood runs in you, dear boy, your words are proof.
Certainly I'll exchange the gifts. The power is mine.
Off all the treasures lying heaped in my palace
you shall have the finest, most esteemed.
And when young Dawn with her rose-red fingers shone once more,
the day was so brilliant that Zeus, high lord of storm and lightning,
shined the skies with heavenly light from above."

Cowboys and UFOs







A little context for our blog.

From most to Everything Being on the Internet

I know I'm moving at a breakneck pace here but if I see something worthy I got to post it right? Anything else is censorship (..or editing).

"Google is to launch a service that would enable users to access their personal computer from any internet connection, according to industry reports. But campaigners warn that it would give the online behemoth unprecedented control over individuals' personal data.
The Google Drive, or "GDrive", could kill off the desktop computer, which relies on a powerful hard drive. Instead a user's personal files and operating system could be stored on Google's own servers and accessed via the internet.
The long-rumoured GDrive is expected to be launched this year, according to the
technology news website TG Daily, which described it as "the most anticipated Google product so far". It is seen as a paradigm shift away from Microsoft's Windows operating system, which runs inside most of the world's computers, in favour of "cloud computing", where the processing and storage is done thousands of miles away in remote data centres."
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2009/jan/25/google-drive-gdrive-internet

This is some crazy shit. And I can't figure out how to indent for new paragraphs. Oh Well. Tom, I think if we don't articulate a human awakening at some point the computers will do it for us. They got all the time in the world (they're immortal) BUT they need energy to sustain themselves. So maybe they will help us find a solution to our energy problems, while not taking the matrix route and harvesting us (couldn't they just harvest cows for energy instead?- damn that'd be a sick movie, COW mAtRiX) Oh shit a fire alarm just went off here.

ill, sick, wurd, hot:

words that, in my estimation, describe this blog haha.

so... i'm not sure if I can share much from he outer reaches of the internet, since i'm pretty firmly stuck in the center of it, aka google (toby, were you the one playing DotA with that hero that ensnared its enemies in a pulsating mesh of vines and then had its way with them? anyway, that's kind of like my relationship with google), but i'll find a way to contribute, even if it means blowing really hard into my saxaphone and hammering away at a feedback peddle, i will be part of the band (anyone? guess the reference?). In these situations, when you really don't have shit to say or any talents that you want to show case, but you feel a burning desire to showcase nonetheless, I think it's important to come up with a gimick, so any ideas? I'll give a cigarette to anyone who can pidgeon-hole me/brand me/label me to my liking.

In the meantime though, while i'm waiting to step into my shoes and become the man i was born to be (or at least the blogger i was born to be), i'll leave you with a sick passage from the book i'm reading, 2666, by Roberto Bolano.

The paintings weren't bad. Still, the show wouldn't have been so successful or had such an impact if not for the central painting, much smaller than the rest, the masterpiece that years later led so man British artists down the path of new decadence. This painting, viewed properly (although one could never be sure of viewing it properly), was an ellipsis of self-portraits, sometimes a spiral of self-portraits (depending on the angle from which it was seen), seven feet by three and a half feet, in the cneter of which hung the painter's mummified right hand.

Video Embedding

Fuck yea I'm becoming a blogging expert, just learned how to embed stuff. I'm going to murder this track and email it to kode9 and become famous.

Dude this is actually really cool. Heres a playlist of songs that im rockin at work.

Jen Hadfield wins TS Eliot Prize


(
From The Independent via Greater or Smaller:)

Self-portrait as a Fortune-telling Miracle Fish

By Jen Hadfield, the winning poet

I'm disappointed in the gods that formed me thus

in the likeness of the wall-eyed Halibut;

in my longing, a Meagre or Eelpout;

in my maudlin, a Poor Cod or Bitterling.

I'm disgusted with whichever of you

chose jealousy-with-an-overbite

to be my consort, my symbiotic groupie

and yet some rogue demi-deity

gave a posy of dubious virtues –

made me transparent; electric;

a Wide-eyed Flounder; a Crystal Gobi;

a Stargazer; a Velvet-belly;

a Deepsea Angler, blind,

were it not for this proboscis

that lets me troll my little lantern

in the silt and dim

off the continental shelf.

And my daemon's a dogfish – I think –

A Starry Hound, a blunt and hungry hobo,

scrounging, starveling, sleeping on the go.

Anticulturalist forum

Dude this blog is awesome. And i kinda like parkslopehoodlums as the name. Since i'm just chilling in the house these days, I can contribute to it. This is the media of our literature movement. Sweet article about 9/11 terrrorist watching "Snow White"... and the only thing he can mutter is chaos, chaos, chaos. Have you guys seen this movies!? it's the most haertwarming, tear-jerking hour and 45 minutes that any soul with a minuet capacity for love and compassion could bend to their knees and kiss the earth. It's good stuff.

We need to get Tom on this! sweet dude good stuff... see ya out there.

FIRST

Yo. Ok so I know this looks boring now but Im sure we can edit the whole layout and what not. Also the name is sort of off the cuff based on our image of a cowboy tried to lasso a ufo we had the other night (he'll never catch it!). We can change it if we want. parkslopehoodlums.blogger.com = pretty sick yea? Yea I think so. For now I sent invites to all of us in apt. 4 and kelsey as she was there in the creation of El Collective and so she can be foreign coresspondent or whateva. Chris and Qing Qing can also join they can be our asian-manifestation (i dont have their emails though)

hmm. Mainly Im really bored at work and I thought we could share our different cool discoveries we've made in the outer reaches of the internet and maybe do some creative writing etc??????????????????????????????????? Basically anything we want. Ill cool sweet solid
Shit actually I gotta actually post something cool right, to start us off?.....ok

"Ads has a brilliant piece on war games up which reflects on kill-ratios, the little guys in the background who serve only to ghost away into nothingness once they've been shot (and how their corpses would get in the way if they didn't), and the possibility of a game in which the link between boredom and death might be better made:And it all leads me to wonder what it would be like to write a videogame in which one dies a hundred times over before one successfully kills a single antagonist. The boredom of waiting to fight the enemy would be punctuated, in all but the rarest of cases, by sudden death from the air. After hours of waiting, the screen would simply go blank, over and over and over, without the player ever getting to fire a shot. The sole variety, perhaps, would come from death by other means - a sniper’s shot to the head or a round from a tank. But no matter how, the screen goes blank just the same way - you probably shouldn’t even get to appreciate the difference in the way that you just died again."
>>>>>IM DOWN IN CHINATOWN.

Ok, maybe that wasnt the best thing to start off with, let me try once more.
<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
In a story about Mohammed Atta's life and the experiences that ended with him leading the 9/11 mass murderers, I read that he reacted to his first US movie by sitting in the theater muttering "chaos, chaos, chaos" over and over. It was quite clear the movie didn't just leave him unimpressed, but angry and disgusted.

The movie?

"Snow White and the Seven Dwarves"
-------------
I havent seen that movie in over 10 years so Im not trying to get into any analysis but yea thats it peace
