He said he’d meet me at the clinic after it was done and bring me to his place to recover. But of course I ended up taking the bus back home. I sat outside for an hour, flipping my phone open and closed, occasionally looking at the time, making sure I hadn’t somehow missed his call even though I hadn’t put the fucking thing down for even a second. You know how boys like him are, full of noble intentions when everything’s abstract, but then they chicken out the second shit gets real. It’s all hollow comic book chivalry. In their minds they are the good guys, always doing the right thing, but really they’re just little boys hiding in a treehouse from the real world, no matter how old they get.

“And they all pretend they’re orphans
And their memory’s like a train
You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
And the things you can’t remember
Tell the things you can’t forget that
History puts a saint in every dream”

- Tom Waits, “Time”

“A word about the title. I am not unaware that it is an example of the monster termed by the logicians contradictio in adjecto, because stating that a refutation of time is new (or old) attributes to it a predicate of temporal nature which establishes the very notion the subject would destroy. […] Our language is so saturated and animated by time that it is quite possible there is not one statement in these pages which in some way does not demand or invoke the idea of time.”

- Borges, “A New Refutation of Time”

I just woke up and realized that today is Thanksgiving. Since when did time start moving independent of my awareness of it?

“Released in 1998 — not coincidentally, about the time Gen Y was hitting 18 — Aeroplane’s un-self-conscious poetry was immediately recognized as an antidote (even when we hadn’t been looking for one) to the quotation-mark-laden Matador catalog, featuring the plausibly deniable plaints of Pavement, Guided By Voices, et. al. These bands were smart, clever, and knowing. Mangum, on the other hand, was smart, guileless, and unknowable. Aeroplane is an album Dave Eggers wished he could have written, if he hadn’t been back there with me — and others — on the other side of the dividing line.”

zizekpress:

She’s put one of her wigs on me and is making me play her piano. She’s barking at me to write songs, to create spontaneously, to open up my mouth and my body and become a conduit for the music. She wants me to write an entire rock-opera on the spot. Whenever I play a bum note or hesitate too long or flub the second rhyme of a couplet, she swats me in the face with a fly-swatter to show her displeasure.

She’s been swatting me a lot.

“When you make music or write or create, it’s really your job to have mind-blowing, irresponsible, condomless sex with whatever idea it is you’re writing about at the time.”

“I can’t, I’m shit, I have no talent,” I whine. “I have nothing to say as an artist, I’ve never had a single unique or original thought in my entire pathetic life.”

She swats me. That wasn’t in key.

“

I want to be surrounded by porn people who love me for what I am, who say, ‘Where do you want the erection, where do you want the penetration.’ Where it’s not complicated. There wouldn’t be a porn star running out there saying ‘Lars said this or Lars said that.’

I just want to say for the record that I understand Lars Von Trier. I think he said some wrong things, yes, absolutely. He’s not what you would call a good guy, but I understand much about him, and I sympathize with him a little bit. He was also one of God’s best children.

The Science of Why We Don't Believe Science

Thu, 28 Apr 2011 20:10:07 -0700

Evolution required us to react very quickly to stimuli in our environment. It’s a “basic human survival skill.” We push threatening information away; we pull friendly information close. We apply fight-or-flight reflexes not only to predators, but to data itself.
