Cause And Effect by Charles Bukowski
the best often die by their own hand
just to get away,
and those left behind
can never quite understand
why anybody
would ever want to
get away
from
them

A friend of mine has an original Buk poem...I asked what the deal is and how he has that but no word yet...

How was your day?

Dancer by Carl Sandburg

THE LADY in red, she in the chile con carne red,
Brilliant as the shine of a pepper crimson in the summer sun,
She behind a false-face, the much sought-after dancer, the most sought-after dancer of all in this masquerade,
The lady in red sox and red hat, ankles of willow, crimson arrow amidst the Spanish clashes of music,

I sit in a corner
watching her dance first with one man
and then another.

no old work...no phone calls....Business is slow....

nothing of significant interest...

I probably wasn't paying enough attention to notice...

how bout you?

how highly you regard him, it seems to me, by your words...

I told him he is like this:

George: What's the difference? You know they way I work, I'm like a commercial jingle. First it's a little irritating, then you hear it a few times, you hum it in the shower, by the third date it's

"By Mennen!".

---

We laughed... which is always good.

That's a really smart point....I do feel like I know that really perfect and most excellent beautiful things are simultaneously happening whilst I brood...Thanks for the reminder...There's your significant thing for the day...the reminder...THANKS :)

-The Lady in red, she in the chile con carne red-

I lived around the corner in Chicago from some Carl Sandburg place...forget exactly what it was...Also the St. Valentine's Day Massacre happened on that street behind me too..

Where have you lived...I may have asked you that already...but again with the forgot thing...

Oh - bad form. Like the Church Mouse: http://tinyurl.com/2mavdj

in my mind mostly....

At one time or another..... NY, city, boroughs (except Staten Island), Westchester and upstate......Denver, city and burbs including Littleton, near Columbine HS...Portland west burbs...Beaverton...and Virginia...

Spent a few months in Vermont too...

Just kidding...please tell treebu she has balls of steel and to kick ass!!!

I wish her all the luck in the world.

What's your favorite?

Or rather..where would you live now if you could live anywhere?

-So ellwort...whats it like screwing a politician for a change?-

Way funny, cent...I smell a new bumper sticker..

(But I can't quite formulate the exact words yet..)

The beauty is haunting...although it is probably too cold for me to think about moving back to...

I miss portland a lot too, but probably only because I live in Roanoke which is completely devoid of Liberals, and Portland has soooo many.

What about you A? Where are you from?

Sublime! Of course.
She's running against the Republican-minded anal-retentives who constitute the local "Democratic" party, for now.

Cent - I've inhabited all of the eastern US ground you have.

Sometimes while I'm peeing and impatient, I'll take the appointment-book out of my pocket, look at the US map in the back pages, and consider which states I've Done It in.

These overlap more extensively with your list.

But this has nothing to do with you - don't worry.

Pretty sure I haven't been there...

Redwood Shores, CA..that is where I am from and where I am happy to be from..and where I would like to live if I could...in my exact house I grew up in...how's that for attachment for you... ? :)

I'm totally going to do that..

Ok that was short..

California and Illinois. Possibly somewhere in Nebraska..on the way to Illinois..but I can't recall..

out of a hat...

The title is the Case of the Missing Hare.

The neighborhood I grew up in sucked monkey ass, as I am sure you have heard me allude to many times....

Although, I must say, if I had unlimited resources, I would definitely keep an apartment in the City....NY is one of a kind....no question about it....

I have traveled only a little outside the us (besides Canada) but I can definitely say Killarney and County Kerry, Ireland suits me out of the places I've been...the culture, the people, and the beauty...the weather, well, its a lot like
Portland, but it would be worth it...:)

A Plain Life by William Henry Davies

No idle gold -- since this fine sun, my friend,
Is no mean miser, but doth freely spend.

No prescious stones -- since these green mornings show,
Without a charge, their pearls where'er I go.

No lifeless books -- since birds with their sweet tongues
Will read aloud to me their happier songs.

No painted scenes -- since clouds can change their skies
A hundred times a day to please my eyes.

No headstrong wine -- since, when I drink, the spring
Into my eager ears will softly sing.

No surplus clothes -- since every simple beast
Can teach me to be happy with the least.

forget about healthcare

it's a flat fee...

I'm afraid to.

I can't fly more than a couple hours...

For some reason I'm a self-hating, self-immobilized american...and i have yet to overcome that...

Alice?
I take it it was a daytime party - my transcontinental clock says it's only about nine 'o'clock there.
Good time to party this time of year. Sangria maybe. And you usually have it together to clean up before you crash - no morning horrors & exaggerated regrets, really.

So I got my first bikini. Woo it's a three-piece!

It's a top, a bottom, and blindfold for you.

that they came up and they exist so why not?

Maybe it's the putting them on the Blog that's a bit disturbing?

I've recently gotten very spiritual.

Because the material thing isn't working out.

(Part of Ode I)

Higher far,
Upward, into the pure realm,
Over sun or star,
Over the flickering Daemon film,
Thou must mount for love,
Into vision which all form
In one only form dissolves;
In a region where the wheel,
On which all beings ride,
Visibly revolves;
Where the starred eternal worm
Girds the world with bound and term;
Where unlike things are like,
When good and ill,
And joy and moan,
Melt into one.
There Past, Present, Future, shoot
Triple blossoms from one root
Substances at base divided
In their summits are united,
There the holy Essence rolls,
One through separated souls,
And the sunny Aeon sleeps
Folding nature in its deeps,
And every fair and every good
Known in part or known impure
To men below,
In their archetypes endure.

The race of gods,
Or those we erring own,
Are shadows flitting up and down
In the still abodes.
The circles of that sea are laws,
Which publish and which hide the Cause.
Pray for a beam
Out of that sphere
Thee to guide and to redeem.
O what a load
Of care and toil
By lying Use bestowed,
From his shoulders falls, who sees
The true astronomy,
The period of peace!
Counsel which the ages kept,
Shall the well-born soul accept.
As the overhanging trees
Fill the lake with images,
As garment draws the garment's hem
Men their fortunes bring with them;
By right or wrong,
Lands and goods go to the strong;
Property will brutely draw
Still to the proprietor,
Silver to silver creep and wind,
And kind to kind,
Nor less the eternal poles
Of tendency distribute souls.
There need no vows to bind
Whom not each other seek but find.
They give and take no pledge or oath,
Nature is the bond of both.
No prayer persuades, no flattery fawns,
Their noble meanings are their pawns.
Plain and cold is their address,
Power have they for tenderness,
And so thoroughly is known
Each others' purpose by his own,
They can parley without meeting,
Need is none of forms of greeting,
They can well communicate
In their innermost estate;
When each the other shall avoid,
Shall each by each be most enjoyed.
Not with scarfs or perfumed gloves
Do these celebrate their loves,
Not by jewels, feasts, and savors,
Not by ribbons or by favors,
But by the sun-spark on the sea,
And the cloud-shadow on the lea,
The soothing lapse of morn to mirk,
And the cheerful round of work.
Their cords of love so public are,
They intertwine the farthest star.
The throbbing sea, the quaking earth,
Yield sympathy and signs of mirth;
Is none so high, so mean is none,
But feels and seals this union.
Even the tell Furies are appeased,
The good applaud, the lost are eased.

Love's hearts are faithful, but not fond,
Bound for the just, but not beyond;
Not glad, as the low-loving herd,
Of self in others still preferred,
But they have heartily designed
The benefit of broad mankind.
And they serve men austerely,
After their own genius, clearly,
Without a false humility;
For this is love's nobility,
Not to scatter bread and gold,
Goods and raiment bought and sold,
But to hold fast his simple sense,
And speak the speech of innocence,
And with hand, and body, and blood,
To make his bosom-counsel good:
For he that feeds men, serveth few,
He serves all, who dares be true.

Contemplation about liberation of humans from authority

- by Max Rebel

Political Parties

A political party is an organization of individuals with common ideology or program about governing the society. Political parties yearn for power, which they seize in nations usually through forming a government, taking seats in the parliament or both. When political parties are not represented in the government, they function as opposition to the ruling parties. Political parties which do not obtain sufficient votes, do not get seats in the parliament or participate in the government. In such cases they exercise their power, however limited it may be, trying to influence the parliament, the government and the general public through publications and broadcasts, meetings, demonstrations and other campaigns, or by making alliances with other parties.

The famous one-dimensional left-right ideological scale of political parties originates from the seating arrangements of the 1789 French National Assembly, where Third Estate consisted of revolutionaries and sat on the left side, and members of the First Estate, the nobles, sat on the right. The left-right scale in modern times is intended to describe political parties' power basis, affiliations and programs:

- the right wing consists of conservative, religious and/or rich people, working for preserving the existing unequal and unjust distribution of social and economic power, or restoring earlier, even more unequal, social systems, the extreme right being fascists, nazis, racists and other militarists trying to impose a centralized rule of the brutes, based on criteria as wealth, religion, race, ethnicity, or family linkage;

- the left wing is the power elite pretending to represent less wealthy people, more liberal, allegedly working for reforms improving the conditions of lower classes, extreme left is holding radical or revolutionary programs about one party dictatorship, often using the words communism, socialism, leninism, marxism as excuse, cover and trick of confusion in their project for taking the power within the state.

All political parties, no matter how left or right they are placed on the deceptive ideological scale, are statist, they protect the state and use it for promoting own corrupt agenda of governing. Power and government is the dream and the Holiness of political parties. They want power over the people, they want to rule, they want to oppress and exploit the subjects of the state, not substantially different from what and how a monarch does. The monarch places itself on the throne and then brainwashed and/or terrified subservient herd of humans accept it, while the party leaders are elevated to that position with contribution from sponsors and voters from the same herd. Political parties are well adopted to, and integrated into, the state hierarchy, their supreme goal is not freedom or justice for all, but power and privileges to the party bosses, their sponsors and wirepullers. Not only parties' programs, but also their internal organizational design is perfectly suited for their task of taking the state power or taking part in it: they are hierarchical, they are controlled by a centralized authority.

Political parties are tools of the wealthy and/or influential people for grabbing the central power in the state, or influencing and controlling it as much as possible. The wealthy and/or powerful elite of the ruling class is sometimes directly represented inside the elite of political parties, but more often they stand behind the scenes as backers, supplying the party leadership with money, contacts and instructions. The political party leadership, party's inner power clique, holds the handles of control and makes the most significant moves, when a large number of phoney careerist party members are doing disservice to naive electors by taking part in leaders' complot for power, and presenting it as democracy. If the powerless people could realize how boundlessly they are cheated by political parties and their democracy, they might die of laughter, if not of depression or wrath. False and completely meaningless promises are given to voters, election campaigns are conducted requiring huge human, financial and other resources, a big propaganda machine is set in motion for one purpose: get as many votes as possible. If successful, the party leadership grabs the power and starts to plunder and rape the people - business as usual. And this is what they call democracy. If a political party boss would have at least a minimum of decency, it could openly say to its voters: don't worry about thinking, I'll do it for you, don't care about decisions, I'll make them for you, don't stress about the money, I'll take them from you and don't ever dream about freedom, because I'll control and use you, the only thing you can and should do, is to vote for me once in a while, when I call upon you.

Political parties are conjurers in a theatrical performance of pure swindle performed by the power greedy leaders and other members of the ruling class before the very eyes of manipulated, disillusioned and frightened public, who seemingly consciously and voluntarily votes for setting the party leaders on the throne and then opens its pockets and wallets, pulls down its trousers, preparing for abuse by the next pack of self-selected or elected hierarchs and a set of bloodsucking bureaucrats appointed by the latter: an outstanding example of unbelievably abominable and corrupt social culture.

On Broadway - Claude McKay

About me young careless feet
Linger along the garish street;
Above, a hundred shouting signs
Shed down their bright fantastic glow
Upon the merry crowd and lines
Of moving carriages below.
Oh wonderful is Broadway -- only
My heart, my heart is lonely.

Desire naked, linked with Passion,
Goes trutting by in brazen fashion;
From playhouse, cabaret and inn
The rainbow lights of Broadway blaze
All gay without, all glad within;
As in a dream I stand and gaze
At Broadway, shining Broadway -- only
My heart, my heart is lonely.

Oddly, I'm watching Basic Instinct for the first time ever right now...and these pop up on my friend's facebook...

Dang she looks great!

Conceit

It is conceit that kills us
and makes us cowards instead of gods.

Under the great Command: Know thy self, and that thou art mortal!
we have become fatally self-conscious, fatally self-important, fatally entangled in the cocoon coils of our conceit.

Now we have to admit we can't know ourselves, we can only know about ourselves.
And I am not interested to know about myself any more,
I only entangle myself in the knowing.

Now let me be myself,
now let me be myself, and flicker forth,
now let me be myself, in the being, one of the gods.

D H Lawrence

Abigail Grush
Barsuk Records

Seattle's Abigail Grush (Abby to her friends) plays some of the most infectiously off-the-wall pop music you'll ever hear -- if you can even call it pop music; it might be a little too weird to qualify. Each of her bouncy wacky numbers is a stew of unexpected sounds and influences, ranging from pop to No Wave to country to avant-jazz to Brechtian musical theater to Saturday morning cartoon music. Like some of her obvious sources of inspiration -- The Fugs, Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, The Residents, Laurie Anderson -- Grush clearly considers no style off-limits. She and her band employ a breathtakingly vast array of instruments, including clarinet, violin, mandolin, French horn, accordion, slide whistle, and glockenspiel, and incorporate a remarkable number of disparate sounds into tight, action-packed compositions that brim with a crazy, brilliant logic which borders on complete madness. Grush's remarkably elastic voice and loopy lyrics make her eclectic sound complete. Imagine Alice in Wonderland updated for the twenty-first century and set to music and you'll have an idea of this music's vivid nuttiness.

(1967-1968 us instrumental psych exploitation with guitarrist Jerry Cole remaster edition - MP3 320K and FLAC)

The late L.A. session guitar genius Jerry Cole has long been worshipped for his work with everyone from the Beach Boys and the Byrds to Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley and by surf fans as the leader of the Spacemen.

But unbeknownst to many, Cole was also the driving force behind the Animated Egg, a fictitious band whose lone, self-titled 1967 LP is one of the greatest psychedelic exploitation records ever to hit the budget bins of U.S. chain stores—and eventually the want lists of big-spending DJs and collectors.

Comprised of splashy, fuzz-drenched “Now Sound” instrumental groovers, The Animated Egg easily lives up to both the eBay hype and the promise of its evocative track titles: “Sure Listic,” “Sock It My Way,” “Sippin’ and Trippin’,” and—yes indeed—“I Said, She Said, Ah Cid.”

In addition to the rare self-titled LP by the Animated Egg, this collection also includes cuts by other related Cole projects: the Projection Company, the Generation Gap, T. Swift & the Electric Bag, and the Stone Canyon Rock Group.

Sourced from the original analog masters, Sundazed’s glorious CD and high-definition double-LP vinyl editions of this hallowed prize are a must for turntablists and brain-trippers alike.
