Don’t Give Me No Lip, “What’s wrong with Mimicking Corporate Media” — A response to Jennifer Whitney’s article on indymedia, which can be found here

The spirit of critique and wanting to help move indymedia forward is something I really appreciate. However, Jennifer Whitney’s article, “The Good, The Bad, & (sic) The [...]

Small and Short- A Clothing Store

Thursday, July 28th, 2005

Small and Short- clothing store for the rest of us. Going clothing shopping today I realized, once again, that things being smaller than other things is not something we deal with as society… at least not in america. I go clothing shopping perhaps once every two or three years for just this reason. [...]

Invisible Hand Ungloved (Part 1)

Monday, July 18th, 2005

I’m pretty tired right now but I will try to relate the interesting parts of a long discussion I had tonight with a friend on many topics, but most interestingly about notions of creating a just society. This discussion was sparked most probably because we went to see “Marx in Soho” (A play by [...]

Spirituality

Thursday, July 14th, 2005

That’s Funny… You don’t look Budhist….

Eastern spirituality is where it’s at. By the way, Judaism is an eastern religion contrary to popular myth. Christianity is a western religion as it truly began in Greece, since you only had a few messianic jews that thought Christ was the messiah left in the east when [...]

Science/Cosmology

Thursday, July 14th, 2005

The main problem in understanding the universe and the way things work today is our inability to manage the actual speed of different energies. E=mc2 is wrong….or at least the mass curve is wrong. I’m no mathematician or physicist, but I have a strange feeling if I live long enough I’ll be saying [...]

Love

Thursday, July 14th, 2005

True Love is unconditional. That kind of love is rare indeed. You can really abuse that kind of love too.

Being abused as an unconditional lover may lead to being a conditonal lover.

Love is a selfless act. You don’t have to trust to love, but the best love is one where there is [...]

Languages

Thursday, July 14th, 2005

I love languages. I was fortunate enough to take a little french for a few weeks in pre-school with a french teacher who had a “Le Car”. Not that that had a big effect or anything. Just an anecdote.

I doubt I was the only person who invented their own writing system when [...]

Art

Creation and Destruction both have their role. In many ways I see these as being equal from a spiritual standpoint, and both necessary. But, I have to say that my role in this life is to be a creator and not a destroyer. Of course, being a destruction destoyer is being a [...]

Politics

Thursday, July 14th, 2005

I am at the place where I believe government as we know it has failed to be the way to go. Direct democracy in the context of pure consensus is the way that share resources should be decided upon. While a benevolent and sage monarch may still yield better results in some circumstances [...]

Micro$haft is a Marketing Company

Thursday, July 14th, 2005

Micro$haft does not have the best of breed product in any field. It has pretty much the worst in most. It’s really a wonder. I have been supporting their products in one way or another for 20 years. I can honestly say that IBM PC DOS was a much better DOS [...]
