rage against the machine

This is a terrible thing to admit or declare. but how else do you explain the sixth finger?
just finished reading the book in the title, by Lee Siegel. now I see. it's all about economy. not social networking. what can i sell you today. how do I create value with information. it's all too much.
I long for the "rings of Saturn"
and maybe a high hat for Christmas.
bang a gong.

Tripping

just back from a short vacation in FLorida. spent the days walking the beaches. strolled in the evenings among the strip malls and shops. pleasant. late night Showtime 2 movies. sea monsters.

Sun ra Suite

passing waveforms and audacity files back and forth with Major Tom. nine cuts, one for each planet (sorry pluto) & the asteroid belt.
each a different key, each at a different tempo, with evolving drones and sequences transitioning between the spheres.
inner planets
outer planets
the asteroid belt




and then a break thru: three days four nights in Florida
warm breezes
soft lighting
warm sun
cool drinks
wet water
oceans
gulfs
streams
the
gulf
stream
the life
of
riley
I mean
chuck
I mean
portnoy
poof!

Wink * wink *

nudge, nudge

C. is out shopping for new appliances.
Rossiter sent audio files via email to work on.
Brian has new Frissell & Zorn CDs
the lord moves in mysterious ways.
gobbling up words like honey on a stick.
hockey upgrades: new bag with wheels and cooler. Moscow Beer Kings Jersey. Strong 69
Rex 58 LA Kings.

PO'ed at Work::my moment of Zen

they took my main computer. at work. without a notice. they won't give me a decent phone at work. they want me to volunteer for additional projects. i won't get a raise for three years. and yet. these are opportunities to be non-reactionary. to love mine enemies as they stab me repeatedly in the back.

this too will pass. it could be worse. I think I am turning japanese, a lone rhino. sad. perfect world.

the art of happiness, possibility, i want to write. things I read when I get sad and lonely. i walk my dog daily. feed me. pause. reshuffle. pass.

Pumpkin carving

pimping out the pumpkin tonight
reading about creating web sites with Flash and/or Ajax
either way I need to learn me some scripting (java or Action)
the colors (leaves) have been translucent these past few days, when the light is right.
Went to FO MoCO last night with C to watch it turn Pink.
Met up with Joe and his fiance Jenny.
peace out

Epic Failure

Failure (it's the best way to learn)

fun chords

Played it last Friday at Einy's new pad in the old Country Ridge Apartments.

Hockey on the Pond!

thems were the days

whot happen'd?

time, like a river, flows in the direction of gravity (sea level) and then eddies into a fluid dynamic soup.

soup's on is my metaphor for the rest of the year

Fall colors are spectacular

bought a bounch of new music and then dropped a load on graphic novels by Alan Moore, Terry Moore and others (garth ennis)
immersion websites like Durham County Secrets -
great soundtrack by Bill Frissell: Disfarmer.
this is my twitter and facebook refuge. one new thing a week. one new discovery or invention

Masks. face painting. temporary tattoos. reading the god of small things.
listening to books on CD mostly David Sedaris and now Wendy Spero - comedic non-fiction while driving around.

CIT 2009 coming up. intro "video" complete. working on the final montage.

Weekend Update

Finished the Women Center Virtual Art show in time for the Opening (which I missed because I was taking down the pool)
Fighting off the side effects from the Flu shot I got a week ago.

Hockey has resumed. White v Black. Talent v Hack.

Reading about the birth of MySpace.
Listening to a book about Fractel Time.
Waiting for people to call for help.
Listening to CBC R2 Shift

lurking and debauched, I refrain from commitments and dream of once again performing....

Whatter? Matter? Bitter? Twitter!

This is just too good not to share.

Vaporware

Working on three projects at once. Slide show (camtasia) Video (premeire) Audio (record? or audacity.)
anti social people who create social networking sites are hypocritical.
hockey has resumed. the pool is coming down (a work in process.)
have to jam where ever I can find the excuse.
sleeping poorly, dreaming madly. memories are locations in the brain.
this is a response to poor supervisory skills and loose change.

New Semester

Starting the Fall semester at HL. My favorite teachers all beckon. the Public Safety are charming. Facebook panders. Friends and family flock. all is well. A couple of TV shows conclude their season while others begin anew. feeding and exercise regulate. plants wither and die. memories fade and then are recalled with technological aides. learning is fun. Wimba is.

the Dead Weather report

Very entertaining show. I may even change the way I play guitar. Dean quivers and charges. Jack pounds and crashes, Alison purrs and screams. JL plays the other guitar and beats skins so Jack can rawk out.

it takes me a weekend to recover

Dead Weather

Hockey

hockey is as hockey does.

I accomplish less
enjoy more.
of nothing

simple - 單
quiet - 安
think - 算

these bring peace
unity
an end to suffering

then why the red face
why the brown eyes
why grey hair

what is
seldom seen,
never heard.
a koan.
branching in the darkness
searching for the light
grazing
sodden
覺
