Speed

Sorry Lynny for taking so long to get back to this. It seems times have gotten busy here in New York, and there'll be moments like this where it will need to be you who keeps the blog alive. So invite your friends. Anybody invite anybody, just as long as you feel they will understand the original purpose of this blog (intuitional other-space). On your Dashboard go to settings and then go to permissions and invite people.
I have just started working, and so have all my friends so that is one reason we've slowed down. Also, at least for me, things have really started moving so fast. Tom reads novels, and I try, but I find I can't just because its hard even to keep up with goings on now. In this respect it will be you and your friends that will help us out. I can only try to help generate a framework. like Twitter....WTF? when the fuck did this shit sneak up and take over the world. On this point I give you a quote: (http://www.popmatters.com/pm/post/foucaults-facebook/)
"We are expected to be, or become, “omnivorous consumers of momentary trivia.” Not only that, but we are expected to produce that trivia ceaselessly and eagerly. This calls to mind Foucault’s ideas about power exercising itself not as repression—that is, as forbidding us to speak or to act in certain ways—but as permission, as a kind of broad encouragement to speak (albeit through discourses that constitute our identities along certain prescribed lines). Our participation lets power work through us, which we can experience as being exciting—as being part of the action; we are all under surveillance, but we understand that emotionally as “Hey, we’re all celebrities!” Foucault calls it “control by stimulation.” This is why people seem to feel compelled to use Twitter. We want to participate, want to be counted, want to count."
That is the weirdthing about having a space to write that you are in a way promoting ourselves and giving ourselves voice, but not this jumbled cramped meaninglessness we see everywhere, and the boundary between the two is thin. I find it's these moments of otherness, when they are able to infiltrate our power structures and hit them with a blast of sense, that I find most fascinating, and this is when I find the daily show and the colbert report most powerful. Watch Colbert's destruction of Ayn Rand. And watching the BBC news the other day, them showing a clip of Colbert raising a pitchfork and saying "let's go get AIG" as some sort of evidence that populist rage is rising up (haha). I am just trying to keep up with things and I will be here when I can.

On another note I was listening to Prince's 1999 recently and realized it had serious apocalyptic lyrics.

1999 [Video] - Prince

I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin'
Coulda sworn it was judgment day
The sky was all purple,
there were people runnin' everywhere
Tryin' to run from the destruction,
U know I didn't even care
