The Exciting Swirls of 1991

i dunno man

Maybe things will be.. easier in the future…

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! WRONG. It is perfectly logical to think that things have become easier, with the drive-through coffee shops, the Interwebs, computerized cars, and even cellular telephones. But before you JUMP to conclusions, let’s just state the facts:

  1. Although life is easier, living has become harder.
  2. While the realm of medical technology has advanced into incredibly fascinating depths, people are still living and dying in the 18th century.
  3. Robots and robotic contraptions are used in just about every facet of life, from birth to death. And for the most part are largely believed to be emotionless. Until now.
  4. In the 90’s Bill made some great decisions towards the economy and choosing to spice up his sexual lifestyle. But in the future (NOW) Bill Clinton is a hater.
  5. And as a reminder, justice is still a joke, and don’t expect to win against the New Police State.

You DO MATTER

Well, I guess I don’t….

If you are a failure, the Government will be the first to remind you of this. As a musician, freelance writer, coffee understander, cyclist, and naturally awkward person, I feel that there are times when you fail at trying to do something right — be it an exam, blind date, car accident, tax evasion, or using correct grammar in an incorrect situation — you can still come out of it a solid gold winner. Even if you are a born loser. And most of us are.

“It’s what’s on the inside that counts.” However, in today’s anything-goes society, that phrase is basically useless. You may say, “But I don’t feel like you’re listening…” And believe me, people are NOT listening. Or “What, do I look like I’m made out of money?” Well, guess what. “What?” Is that a crisp Washington I see on your sleeve? “Uh…wha? Oh…dude, awesome.”

Women are awesome.

This never happens in real life.

Hey Miss Broadway!

Savage Streets

Better start looking for your lucky stars…

I am challenged to think that we are looking in the wrong place when searching for the troubles that darken the psychology of a technically advanced society. Whereas we are keen to look inward at the individual, we rarely look outward. For instance, you are as much a part of your environment as it is of you, and you will do and behave almost accordingly. For instance, you are more likely to do non-space things when you live in a non-space community.

“If we are interested in the prevention of mental-emotional disorders, we must change those social conditions that produce these disorders,” writes Robert J. Sternberg of Yale University. When juxtaposed against one another in a world “driven by corporate-inspired political conservatism, consumerism, patriarchy, and corrupt exploitative power systems,” it’s hard not to want to release your energies against the powers that be, or in a more extreme and common scenario, against your neighbor.

You don’t, have to do this…

Why does everyone always say the same thing…when John McCain delivers another boring boring speech about how much more organized and efficient he will be in times of turmoil, than our current President who’s name I stopped saying months back? I mean isn’t it obvious that he’s full of supreme shit? Really, people should stop showing up at his parties.

Yes.

“Uh, huh, I like it…”

Sometimes life can get you down…and in these times full of hardships, the last think you can think about is putting on the running shoes, tights, head/wrist bands, and head out to the gym. But that’s where many people go wrong, because guess what. Nothing beats the blues more than precise fashion skills, flowing hair, riding gym bikes and being consumed by horrific green lighting.
