You'll be happier just ignoring me.

Art is the interpretation, technology is the manipulation, and writing is the elaboration, of reality.

We are communicating to eachother through robots. Interconnected (fucking) robots. Skin is deprived of stimulation, with the exception of masturbation, but even that is up for interpretation.
Layers of life folded, intertwined, touching eachother, we don't see the differentiation, just the superficial sublimation of this manufactured reality.
Isolated yet never alone. Even when you are lonely and no one understands you, you are surrounded by stupid fucks just like you thinking the same thoughts you thought were origional. Why else do you like the same songs, shows and movies! Indivuality is a commodity, spoonfed when you want it to be, and made to make you feel like an addict for some made up shit. But you don't care. Just forget I ever said anything and go back to your pills, shitty job and shows you are brainwashed to think are funny. You'll be happier just ignoring me.

the dichotomy of many and one

So when I'm at work I have to think about 50 million things all at once.
Are we running out of meatballs, is the bread ready to go in the oven, are we running out of ones, is the lobby dirty, are the cookies burning, do i need to make more tomatoes, is there enough clean cambros to do prep? oh shit someone just ordered 5 phillys and now we are out of steak! All the while Ive got to pay attention to what the customer wants on their sandwich, making two, three, four sandwiches at a time, trying to get them to tell me what they want on them in the right order so i can make them as fast as i can, maximizing my shortest term memory to remember what they said they wanted long enough to give me time to do that, just to have to try to forget what they said after they leave to make room in my brain for the next order. Its like juggling a bazillion things having the whole stores operation in my head all at once while running around trying not to slip on the wet floor trying not to spill anyone's order. Doing all this way past my natural bedtime, ending the day with cleaning the entire store, breaking a sweat, who needs the damn gym when you got this job. Then going home all revved up from the activity, and now I'm supposed to sleep? That doesn't end up happening till 3 hours later, where I'm sitting in front of my computer like a braindead zombie. Wasting 3 hours of my day, cant sleep, cant do homework, cant clean, too tired to do anything, too mentally hot to sleep.

Sleeping eventually, just to wake up the next day to go right to school, half dead, get some food, feeling a little better. Now I'm supposed to concentrate on ONE THING at a time. Try to think about this one thing, don't think about the bills, don't think about if you remembered to fill kittys food bowl, don't think about the dirty kitchen, don't think about checking the mail, especially don't think about WORK, don't think about what you're gonna watch when you get home, don't think about when you will have time to get groceries, do laundry, take out the trash, clean the litterbox, don't forget about homework either! STOP thinking about all that stuff at once! Quit juggling your life and concentrate on THIS ONE THING that the teacher is trying to teach with what little time he has available to do so JUST CONCENTRATE its not that difficult!

So I tell them I can't concentrate and they tell me I have ADHD and give me Ritalin. When it kicks in I'm feelin like a train on its tracks instead of a bowl of baby rats, oh look what I can accomplish in such a short timeframe! I can clean my house, start up my own online business, and conquer the world! I'm not tired anymore and only need 6 hours of sleep instead of the ten I was getting before when I tried to get out of bed after getting 8 and sleeping in for an extra two. Hey what the hell is going on with my face! my skin is thin and dry, why do i look like i aged ten years when it was only 3 months?! holy shit am i having a heart attack? why does it feel like the air that surrounds me is out to fucking get me?! This ain't fucking right man so I quit that Ritalin shit. and go back to starting point. so whats the fucking point? I think I need another job. -_-

Beggars and ducks.

Now I usually never do handouts or buy random shit from people on the street. Not because I'm against what they are doing, but I decided this time, what the hell. Today when I was downtown I gave a guy a dollar cuz he was selling newspapers to support homeless people. I didn't take the newspaper. I knew I wasent gonna bother reading it anyways. He was friendly and what not, but that wasent the problem. See, what I wasent paying attention to was that he wasent the only one out there tryin to sell shit. The other guys saw me give him a buck so they targeted me to try to sell me shit too. oops. I found myself with more attention than I prefer, which happens to be none.

So what does that have to do with ducks?

There is a group of ducks that live in my complex, contrary to the landowners preferences, whom explicitly tell everyone NOT to feed the wildlife. Most people around here don't understand why it's a BAD thing to feed them. They need to eat too after all. But when you feed a couple of 'em, more will come next time for food, and the crows and gulls will catch on that there is a smorgasbord being had. After all, its all about survival when you're a wild animal. Competition and stuff. And when you routinely feed them, they will have more babies, which will mean the group of ducks and what have you will get larger. Feeding wild animals is skewing the population equilibrium, causing an explosion of a species that eats and shits and the rest of the critters and plants in the environment cant buffer the change and well it can fuck up the whole food web. Cuz nature isn't just a sprinkling of random critters and vegetation sitting out there just hanging out waiting for you to go take a pic if you happen to be so inclined. It's that whole circle of life thing like what they vaguely introduced in that lion king movie.

Perhaps you reading this might be annoyed that I compared entrepreneurial sidewalk sellers with wild animals. Well I wrote this to note the similarities of behaviour; feed one duck, others come rushing over in hopes to get a piece of the action. As with these people; I gave one a dollar, others came rushing over in hopes to get a piece of the action. Looks like that whole survival competition thing applies in the business world too. But one thing I think is different is the population growth issue. These sidewalk sellers are trying to grow a business, not necessarily babies. I haven't done the detailed research on the correlations between income and how many babies people have on a small scale, and unsure if the global statistics on this matter translates to a more local intracultural scale. But it is worth a look at some point.

So yeah, moral of the story, if you give money to people on the street, all the others will target you in hopes you give them money too. And unless you're as rich as bill gates or whoever, you just may well end up begging on the street like them if you give a dollar to every homeless or sidewalk seller that is out there.

I honestly don't have a solution to this problem. It's not nearly simple enough for mainstream media to digest and throw up for the general consumption by the baby bird viewers. You know who figures shit like this out? Specialized motherfucking scientists. They learn about the world out there and how it works and they come up with solutions to mind bogglingly convoluted problems. Like the ones I just mentioned, which could be seen as easy to solve, but if you don't know this already, I will tell you. The more you learn, the more you realize you don't know NEARLY as much as you though you did. i.e. the more you learn, the less you know. So when I hear roumors about how science is on the down and out with Americans all I think is that this damn country is in a decline and China and India and who knows who else are gonna be up there on the successful chart and this experiment called America will be destroyed by ignorance.

settled into regime to attain comfortability
predictability
prevention of anxiety
leading to boredom restlessness
frustration feeling trapped in the
nest has become a prison
escaping results in breaking it all
this is not what i wanted it to be

circle cycle circling around again

there is a feeling i wish to embrace and
mold into something physical but
i don't know if i can put it aside
temporarily in order to function
in this life i have built myself
that's where the frustration comes in
tired of being someone else
in order to support myself
wondering thinking is it possible to be
myself and support myself?

i am tired of the charade that has gotten me out of the hell i once lived in.

you may think that you see me but all you see is the travesty that hides the atrocity.

Dead coon

Poor dead coon
death came too soon
for you were young
and life was new

did you drink the green stuff?
did you get hit by a truck?
you seemed to have used your last strength
to find a quiet place to die
cant help but wonder why

Some people

Some people piss me off sometimes. I cant be friends with guys that have jealous girlfriends. Cuz they're pussywhipped by a psycholady. Are we not all adults here? I guess not. Its not like I've never been in their gf's shoes before. I know how it feels to think your guy is messin around. Well if you think that's happening you're either crazy or right. Either way you don't fucking deserve him and he doesn't deserve you.

Yellow Cheeze

I don't usually talk about work but I want to bring this one up, not to make fun of anyone but to make a point about people in general.
caution: this could get boring if your not that nerdy.
"what kind of cheese would you like?"
"the yellow cheese"
really? yellow cheese? why is the color of the cheese more important than the flavor?
my thoughts sarcastically imagine a secret response only i can hear: "i don't care what it tastes like as long as the cheese is yellow!"
Now what I realize that most people I deal with don't, is that color is an illusion. It is a relative, subjective experience. It is dependent on many factors, like the construction of ones eyes(partial color blindness) and the language one speaks(YES!), to name a few. In addition to that, the color of the food you eat influences whether or not you like the taste! But that's all well and fine if you like yellow cheese that much I'm not gonna tell you otherwise.

The real problem i think is the communication gap here; what the hell is yellow cheese!

Now when I clarify this request by pointing at either cheddar or american, I've noticed that about half of the people are referring to the cheddar, and the other half the american. So this response confuses and frustrates me and forces me to point at one and ask, "this one?" and their response will run somewhere in the spectrum from the extremes of "duh! that is yellow!" all the way to "duh! that's not yellow!"
Now the official names are "white american cheese" and "natural cheddar cheese" even though the whiteness of the american can appear white when directly compared to the cheddar. Put the white american next to a white piece of paper and it can appear yellow. But if you were to put a yellow paper between them one might say the american was white and the cheddar was orange!

Whats the point?
I prefer to speak matter-of-factly* although not always entirely possible, I do my best, so when I am confronted with something I see as ambiguous and others I speak to think of them as being matter-of-fact, I get confused. But then me being the type that tends to over-analyze things I imagine what if it was flipped around?! Oh dear what have I done now. A complete and total mindfuck on myself. All because I was confused about cheese.

Moral of the story?
The more I learn, the less I know. -_-



*unless I'm joking!

How O.D.D. are you?

http://uswgo.com/confirmed-psychiatric-manual-dsm-iv-tr-labels-free-thinkers-non-conformers-as-mentally-ill.htm

Reading this makes me want to respond in a manner in which they describe as having Oppositional Defiant Disorder! FUCK YOU SHRINKS! Ahem, anyways... before you go interpreting the article i linked to faster than you actually read it, keep in mind that the level of "crazy" is relative to the average sanity of the population. So basically, anyone who is a deviant to the point where they are unable to function in society. So if you are able to keep friends, keep a job, not fail or drop out of school, be as crazy as you fucking want! Oh yeah, there's that stay out of jail part too, but you don't have to be crazy to end up there. Well, now that they included this into the DSM, I'm thinking shrinks might be able to label a good majority of criminals with some sort of disorder! What the fuck seriously. Lets all just march in step with everyone else and act like mindless drone worker bees. Yes. With nothing to argue about and no creativity and no new inventions. Lets allow our society to stagnate, some might call it stabilizing. I wonder how many people would commit suicide OUT OF SHEER BOREDOM. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about everyone getting along. But its an ideal; an asymptote. I am pragmatic about admitting that such an ideal is impossible to achieve, but that doesn't make striving for it moot. Man when the jesus crispies and teabaggers get a hold of this O.D.D. shit they will spooje their pants. I fear even homosexuality will end up back in this shrink bible. Every time I pay attention to whats going on in this country it makes me want to give up and run the fuck away to norway or some shit. Yeah sure they got problems too but it would be nice if we could all live in areas that we are able to be most successful and least pushed down by the man. I still believe in the constitution though, sciencedamnit.

sticky strings

For all that could have been
and all that may be
a little bit of you
still seeps into me
volatile dynamics
unstability
a wide range of feelings
brings me to see
why all this pain & suffering
accompanies such blissful insanity.

wandering

wandering floating though an abyss of random darkness & whats that
make plans in vane
set up for climaxes that never came
all for what
questioning decisions, apathy
misplaced dark and ikky
everythings annoying
I can remember meaning
before jaded resulting from expectations gone wrong
control freak. not controlling enough
I can't do this.
whats the point in all this I don't know?
it's not fun anymore
I can't see the future
the past is in a haze
one foot in the past, the other in the present
neither one strong enough
can't reach wanting to
what to rebuild from
no time to dig
in a dark place surrounded
claustrophilic or maybe just comfortably numb
can't keep this up
waste more time surviving
risks of striving haven't paid back, no rewards.
floating in thick darkwater
patches of what
why has become hollow
why evaporated out
no active pump against gradient
lost where
filling up a sieve, stupid.

oh yeah..

FUCK!
just wanted to make that clear.

jociscdarfta

jaded, complicated
overwhelmed & underrated
combinations of calm & turbulence
indications of variance
slow smooth rumbling
compounding combinations
distractions causing fumbling
awkward interactions
results conflicting signals
from the complicated coil
thoughts come in as ripples
and ugly words can soil

contradictions spilling over the partitions
cemented visions haunted conditions
silence never silent
bleeding through the sieve
feeling it give  -  trying harder to...
sleepless nights     wake-less days
issues pulling a foggy haze
sink the ruin sunken ship
will i get away with it?
just let it go   cant let it show
cant put down the unfinished puzzle
this condition has got me in trouble
locked just let me let it go
    dont let it show
locked - just let it go

Somethings missing

Somethings missing

testing, testing, one......two................free
emancipate the predicate let it dominate
generalize to confuse
ambiguous terms to use
its cracking oozing out
losing control, wanting to?
tired of this   -    whats the point
talk in all predicates
nouns are nonsequitor
fingers point at no thing
all is everywhere
organization happens in the mind
organ - ize
great tension distraction
whats the point
too tired   -   cant sleep
find it where   -   see it why when
go for show
lost in benign
delicate balance
lose sanity or happiness? circle returning back on itself? triggers links to the past
permanent or redo?
silly putty or glue?
pineapples in the grass
want to! reasons not to. tension.
broken  -  dissolved  --  forgotten fragments
dont pick up the glass with your bare hands youll cut yourself
its dark I cannot see
the innocent do not see
pile it on it makes for a good distraction

all i see is naked apes
all over the damn place
whats going to happen when I sleep?
Mirrors facing eachother,
does it trap the light?
No
it makes a space light cannot enter
No

cant undo
where do I go now

Epidemic!

Rampant plastic degradation is spreading throughout major cities. It was happening in landfills and people were ok with it until the degradation began to be observed in gasoline containers and industrial areas. Scientists investigated the phenomenon and discovered colonies of unknown microorganisms throughout areas affected. Treehuggers hear of the problem and celebrate. Corporations panick: are they going to have to revert to using glass and metals? Is the era or durable flexible containers over? Some companies have been throwing money left and right at epidemiologists and plastic chemists to try to make it possible to use plastics once again. Will they find a solution? Will evolution catch up with the next feat of scientific engineering?

I wanna sit under a tree in a bubble traveling through space!

Macropus sapien

What if instead of apes becoming crazy smart and making shit that it was the Kangaroos? Kangaroo people! 200,000 years before Macropus sapien landed on the moon they began to use tools and eat wallabys and monitor lizards. Then they learned how to fish and ate from the ocean as well. When the ice age came and nearly wiped them out they learned that they can cover themselves with the skin of the animals they have killed and eaten, they made weapons out of their bones to kill more animals for food, shelter, weapons, and storytelling. They figured out how to fashion floatie thingies so they can get to other lands and search for resources. They soon discover the apes and attempt to domesticate them for meat and agriculture. Some keep them as pets but some apes are violent and a split in the greater Macropus community becomes inevitable on whether or not apes should be destroyed or banned from Macropus residences. This was known as the Great Hop Rift.

Awkward..

Does anyone else find this situation awkward...
So I'm walking somewhere and a complete stranger is walking in the same direction as I am who just happens to have the same walking speed as me, and if I walk right next to them, at my natural speed, it's weird cuz I don't know this person. And the sidewalk is only so wide so I'm either walking right next to them or out in the street. Do I say hi or something? that might be weird too. So I think so myself, maybe I'll say something like:  "hi stranger im so-and-so, it seems we both walk at exactly the same speed! what are the odds eh?" or i walk next to them and say absolutely nothing, creepy right?
The other options would be to either speed up or slow down, so if I slow down I could be late to where I'm going, that would suck. I decide to speed up and go past the stranger(yeah, im so social) but I don't want to walk fast cuz its early and I still have the morning groggies. Sure, going faster means I'm exercising and its good for me, but going faster means I have to EXERCISE to avoid an awkward situation and get to my destination slightly tired! o.o

yes i know I may be making a big deal out of this, just thought it was amusing and that maybe someone else might find it amusing as well.
