I try to define man

and am by nature dissatisfied

luftwaffe ii

to continue briefly with that thought ... it seems to me that, these days, we build our castles in the air in order to use them as weapons.

we live our lives in spirals, and cliched though it may seem ... sometimes it has to all break down so that we can build it up again.

So I don't worry when I'm self-destructive (or maybe I should) because I've seen it before, and I know why and where it's going ... but what I want to know is this: is it me I'm building, or one more castle in the air?

... and so we breathe in
while the world stagnates.

you may enjoy your electronics
your automatics
your synthesizers
you may enjoy your theoretics
your symptomatics
your fabrications of the here-and-now
you may keep them

(I'd rather live in the real world, anyway)



it needs work. the parts in bold are what i'm keeping for sure, so that's basically what it will look like when i finish it.

culture is an inversion of life

I saw these lyrics:

"ran up to the metropolis, not many miles away
to find addicts in tighter trousers using more obscure cliches"

how ... good ... is that?

the writing on the wall

Ever since I painted my room, I've been wanting to write something on the wall. Not a lot, just a sentence or two, and I've been trying to decide what it is that I want written in here. Initially I thought that I wanted the line about the words of the prophets from the sounds of silence, but I felt like that was too self-referencing in a way.

I think I've finally chosen--'o brave new world, that has such people in it'.

But it occurred to me tonight, when I was telling someone about this, that to be truly 'meta,' I could just write "the writing on the wall" on the wall. There's something very interesting to me about that thought.
