This is all theory. Everything that is said here comes from a limited mind, living in a limited land, disseminating limited information. The limitations are limitless. I got an idea. It’ll take a little bit of time, a little bit of money, and some maneuvering. But I’m betting my life that it works. In fact, …
Watch the street’s gutter for movement, look at the reflection against its water, it reacts with concentric circles find low points on telephone lines see if they drip, see the telephone birds not fly away, the larger ones can take it for a while find a moving car turn its wipers on, find a car …
Sometimes you have to let the lesson learn you before you can learn the lesson. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but you should write the thousand words anyway. You’d be surprised at how many stones you can find in a stoneless field. A well-maintained average machine will ultimately outperform a poorly-maintained great …
I saw a moleskin notebook advertised at a Barnes and Noble. The advertising said “it’s the same kind of notebook that Hemingway wrote in.” Being a consumer-driven shmuck, I bought it.

Hey, if the …
For hundreds of thousands of years, we’ve been trying to figure out how to articulate with our mouths, to build unimaginable machines with our hands, to try and fathom our own existence and the best that we’ve been able to do is scream and fight with each other, fear what is beyond the horizon, and …
Let’s face it, folks—if it weren’t for our egos, we wouldn’t be buying a lot of the crap that we buy. If America was a buddhist nation, our economy would be in serious trouble. But thank God that our God is a red-blooded, SUV driving, big-screen watching, hot dog eating consumer with a fragile credit …
If you wanna validate something, give it some class, make it cool, or make it trendy, give it a LABEL. “Twixter” is the new label for those twenty-somethings who are neither children nor grownups, who act and talk and live life as if they’re still teenagers. Here’s the TIME Magazine link. Now that TIME Magazine …
Check this out: http://adbusters.org/metas/corpo/blackspotsneaker/ It’s from adbusters: http://www.adbusters.org/home/ Read the piece for the Blackspot sneaker. I love their intent, but the shoe is fucking dysfunctional, and anybody who tries to walk in these will get foot problems.

According to the latest news report, the Atkins diet isn’t good for the brain, because carbohydrates are supposedly brain food. The Atkins diet has around 20 grams of carbohydrates, whereas the human …
Regarding the title graphic, if you’re wondering what the Dalai Lama is doing holding a gun, here’s where I got the idea, from a Readers Digest interview: RD: Do you have a favourite animal? Dalai Lama: Birds maybe. I feed birds, peaceful birds. I’m a nonviolent person, but if a hawk comes when I’m feeding …
Only when I scavenged the bottom of the ocean did I find you an urn, preserved within rust and clay ready to be brought up to surface, cleaned, presented as unique, as timeless, beautiful. And in return, you found a scavenger.
maybe it’s supposed to happen this way. whenever Joe the convict raked leaves within the compound, he would always find scraps that had blown in from the other side of the double chain link fence –a ticket stub to a weekend matinee that young lovers could barely afford to see, a fast food napkin with …
careful where you throw your words of hope. they may fall on rusted steel and cracked cement that make them yearn to be majestic skyscrapers and pristine roads waiting for your magic rain to wash their truths away and careful where you smile to shine a light on wilted petals that turn to your temporary …
show me your pose, your gravity-defying surgery your bonded smile your Clorox hair show me the scars that made wrinkles unnecessary show me the moments they paid for there it is, your egg timer body decomposing with each hustle while your sensibilities go numb with apathy and practice that require five happy hour margaritas to …
the sea made Henry knot a fishline ’round his ring, tie one end to his wrist and throw the package in the water as he stood there, he sang lullabyes to the ocean tugging often at the line to make it sparkle but elusive: “There are no hooks to catch them with There is no …
When the sun shone And the waves subsided And it was safe to wander again, We strayed and tangled rope lines, Forgetting what had stayed us In one place, When the first storms were raging, When we weren’t anchored.
Until the light betrays the way your shadow knows that you are more than shadow, fight Until your skin and bones convince your heart that they are all that is you, fight Until your patience winds up being wound by time’s own limits, fight Until blind luck convinces you that nothing’s left but rolling dice, …
