The First Day of Spring…
Posted in Society on 20/03/2012 by Rabid GoonIt’s kind of fucked up, or at the very least, it’s majorly annoying that the first day of spring is not a holiday. Spring is the time for beginnings, regenerations, reemergences and rejuvenation. It is a time to reflect on past hardships and to embrace future hardships, as they lead to new springs. So, why the fuck is bullshit like presidents day celebrated, but not this beautiful, universal event, the beginning of spring?
These Uncertain Times…
Posted in Uncategorized on 05/03/2012 by Rabid GoonWhen people say we’re living in ‘uncertain’ times, what the fuck are they talking about? Have times ever been ‘certain’? Is certainty even something that should be considered an optimal or even slightly desirable trait for times to have? Should certainty have any real bearing on the way we conduct our lives? If we focus too much on a conceptual framework for existence that has only a tenuous relationship with the way things ‘really are’, are we doomed to isolate ourselves on a useless, blank, abysmal quixotic quest for nothingness, regurgitated reality?
One has to wonder…
Blue, Brown and White…
Posted in Uncategorized on 28/02/2012 by Rabid GoonWhen the summer of 2011 had finally come to a long-delayed end, and the dreary residue of blurry waking daydreams enveloped me in a thirsting quest for something, maybe ‘normal’, my desire for the party-fueling electronic beat-driven soundtrack of my recent past was on a major downswing, to say the least.
I actually found myself listening to Van Morrison more than anything with any kind of bloops, blips and beeps, and Mirror Traffic ascended to its perch on top of my year-end albums list. I just wasn’t feeling the beats. So, I kind of missed a beautiful, mesmerizing gem of an album called Sepalcure by Sepalcure. I’ve been making up for it this week.
Scorsese’s Hugo is on in the other room and I can’t be bothered to watch it. Every time I stop watch, it looks beautiful, but there’s just something I can’t get past. Something about movies that are specifically made for children is wholly unappealing to me. It’s not easy to pin down, but something about the innocent sense of ‘wonder’ for the sake of being wonderful repels me deeply. Some cynicism, please.
I thought of this the other night while hanging out with my friend, Rich.I have one of those wooden banana holders that the bananas hang from, and I mentioned kind of self-mockingly that I’m more inclined to eat bananas if they’re hanging than if they’re just lying on the counter. I quarter-jokingly said that it’s because we’re descended from apes and we have a natural inclination toward hanging bananas because of that fact. It seems to make some sense. It’s at least kind of a tidy little comforting idea.
Blue, brown and white, but kind of an off-white. Great color combo. Pretty nice.
Question of the Day for Bible Nutcases….
Posted in Religion on 14/02/2012 by Rabid GoonIn the book of fantasy known as the bible, god supposedly told some guy named Noah that he was going to flood the world due to immorality and that Noah should build a huge boat and save a male and a female of all animal species from dying in the flood, so that the earth could be repopulated. So, why did Noah let the dinosaurs die? Did god consider dinosaurs immoral? Was there rampant prostitution and idolatry among the Brontosaurus community? Please enlighten me, theists… I’m not very well-learned when it comes to deep theological matters like this.
