Poke Your Face



I understand the need to protect public health, but this is beyond ridiculous. Actually, its frightening.


I think perhaps this is the sign of the apocalypse? Maybe only in New England. I'm safe. I hope people are rallying in the streets, because the thought of an involuntary injection is reminiscent of..i dont know.. the Tuskegee Project!


FYI: The Tuskegee Project in synopsis in two lines: 1932 Experiment the injected black men with syphilis and/or left those already with the disease untreated so that the effects of the disease on the "negro body" could be examined. Patients were left untreated, even though there were standard treatments at the time, because the test subjects were only valuable to the study once they died, and the autopsy yielded some kind of addition to science.
(Thanks Candace for this moment in black history) American history breaks my heart.

Just consider this. 5-0 kicks in ya door wavin the 4,4, and either injects with what you hope is a vaccine, but since they are already in your home can arrest you for, anything "illegal" that they see. And hm, do you think some cop really cares to take the proper medical protocol to ensure that your injection is given correctly, with a sanitary needle? Prob not, these are cops..not doctors.
 And lets think of all the diseases you can get from a tainted needle:
  1. HIV/ AIDs
  2. Hep B
  3. Malaria
  4. uh- anything that anyone else has cause its going from on blood stream to another.
  5. Conspiracy theory- heroin (get ya hooked on the D)
The other option is incarceration? Hrm. I don't want to bring up the prison industrial complex, or the attack on ethnic minorities and the poor, but just think of the implications. Sheesh. I'm done with this.

Current Events

1. Well, I watched the Dolphins/ Colts game, and have decided that even I could beat the Dolphins. I mean no single handedly no no. Fran Drescher as my tight end, Ruby Dee doing safety, with Mia Jackson calling the plays. What a bunch O tards. I am no football expert but even I know that if you have the ball for 45 mins out of the entire game..you should..statistically win. I may become a colts fan. As for now its the Pitty Stealers.. GOD I can't wait for basketball season.... MIAMI!!!

2. Plaxico Burress. Talk about having the worst day ever. I won't go into how the legal system, and in this case the criminal justice system is clearly designed to empower and oppress certain groups of ehm..people. With its minimum sentence requirements, rockafellar drug laws, blah blah blah. You see where I am going, I digress. Plaxico not only was taken away for two years to a STATE prison..and thats some Oz level, soap on a rope stuff, BUT he shot himself in the thigh by accident to get there. Literally insult to injury. And on top of that..he sounds like a corporation. (too soon?). Well..here's hoping the inmates are Giants fans, i wonder if he is a wide receiver... (poor form, its way too soon for that one) (I apologize). Do any of the black nfl stars...not goto jail?

3. Briefly- My suggestions for the Real Housewives of Atlanta... Stiletto Goulashes. [Leans over and nudges FEMA] heyyy... (whispering) nows your chance! redeem yourself there are ethnic people in georgia too (duh).


Just Call me Brenda Blackman. And thats it for this edition of I watched the news.

not related. i just love this video

Personal Aside:
does anyone think that Gerard Butler looks like James Mcavoy if James ate a touch more protein?

butlervsmcavoy_sm.0.0.0x0.135x124.jpeg






Personal Aside Number Two:
did anyone else think that james mcavoy in chronicles of narnia was a pedophile. Because in talking to people, I am the only one disturbed by Mr. Tummus and his bedroom eyes..and the fact that he roofies a child.



even in german. you knows it wrong.

7am and Salty

Because no one I know is awake yet. And aptly so, no one should be awake this early unless they are employed or..doing the walk of shame. I'd venture to say that even the shamers haven't gotten over that initial morning grog that settles itself on the cusp of still drunk and hung over. So, awake.... that leaves me, the sirens in the morning air and the herds of caffeine addicted "real adults", making their way to a cubicle...and ive made the pilgrimage from my mattress to my mac? Craigslist here I come..but not before some nonsense...

Super Commie Mario




Excuse me?
Lets take a trip to my nerdy sociology side. I just came across an article entitled "Women's Internalized Oppression: Undermining Your Own Sexuality", and I am thinking, oh geez, here is an article that is going to state the obvious; using already assumed and redundantly stated observations and constructions on the female bodied assumed "woman", and in an attempt to critique society will probably end up reinforcing its values and norms.. but I wont judge it before I read it.Girls Girls Girls!me likey? not really.

1. Let's notice that the douche tool author is a man. Am I saying that men cannot write about women? Well that'd be silly since it is a dick dominated society and most of what is written about women is for the male agenda..ew patriarchy, thats not where i am going. I am saying duh men can write about women, anyone can as long as they (and in this case"Marty K"), state openly his privileged, and his biases that have come from his experience. Why? Cause if you you sound like you know exactly what you are talking about, as if it empirically factual.

2. Consider the audience, the website is called- EmpowerHer. com, the other topics include " love v. lust", "the cost of treating erectile dysfunction", trivial trivial plebeian bull caca, etc., is my point. This website is to feminist theory as a mcnugget is to a Gourmet Kobe Burger. What I am saying is that the people who probably read this site with some grain of sincerity, are not sociologist. And prob do not have the time to spot the flaws in the articles. Meaning EmpowerHer has the duty to watch their mouth because people are inhaling their shit with no filter. And that is detrimental.

3. Lets get to the business...
  • heterosexual assumption
  • mentions dynamic of gender roles/ sans critique
  • lets not even start on the irresponsible and grossly shallow glossing of sexuality in general
  • ridiculous generalizations w/o sufficient evidence
  • "Very few women are happy with their bodies" gfy (excuse yourself to masturbate)
  • Credit where is is due..in the end marty begins to critically and intelligently open one aspect of the female socialization into gender. you get a cookie.
4. I'm sayin. This article leaves a big, So what? in my mouth. Marty has failed ::
  • to tell me the implications of his issue
  • to tell me the effect of society- (from cultural, to subcultural, to interpersonal ,to intrapsychic) on his observations
  • to contribute something new and innovative to the issue of this issue that is actually called in femenine focused sociological literature "the male gaze".
  • Dear Marty, take soc 101 and shut the hell up- love, c.

5. Am I a pompous asshole? Absolutely Yes. Do I think Marty is an idiot? Absolutely Yes.


But what do I know?
Time for breakfast :)




"oooh my god" (tehehehe)

Huh?

Good Morning New York, and in this edition of what the eff?...

No. Thank You!

this commercial..literally..screams: douche bag.

Love in sight form...





(i wrote this in a fb note a while ago but here it is..again)
I. I am completely enamored. which is indescribable... there is one thing going through my mind over and over again and i cannot do anything about it nor do i want to, and the more i think about it the happier and more confused/ intrigued i become. recent. very recent. Sunday to be precise. last Sunday. the piece that has stole my heart was this panorama i saw on my weekly pilgrimage to union square, one of my favorite places in my city because of the life, and art and books. it was a black and white panorama matted and framed.. and it was of this little boy. this little Indian boy no more that six or seven , in the desert on the foreground of an endless horizon. clear skies. clothed in white linen, and he hi reading a book to a kneeling elephant. yes. thats it. maybe i am too simple, but i doubt it. the thing about art, all forms, is that it restores my faith in humanity. the faith that politics, capitalism, racism, patriarchy, etc., tear away on a regular basis. i love this piece and i can not have it. i can not find it. the vendor who took it is gone. i searched for it for a few hours today before i headed to a great play on the lower east side. and beyond my disappointment and angst, maybe there is a lesson in it. that being that it isnt even a loss that i missed the opportunity to purchase this piece. maybe its the fact that i cannot physically possess it makes it even more beautiful, and even more amazing. something that i want so badly but cannot have in the exact circumstance that i want to enjoy it just makes me love it even more. it is in my mind and somewhere on my slightly chilled heart, and in this sense i do have it, and i can never lose it. i just keep wondering what is he reading to the elephant, ya know? i mean..an elephant never forgets. all i am saying is imagine the possibilities..maybe you will understand.
paz.

More art on my radar...
I don't remember which photographer took the picture above..but i think is beautiful.
sue me.


Ananda Nahu. she is just.. brilliant. Brilliant being a tragically unacceptable word, not even coming anywhere close to capturing her genius, but alas.


Its- graffti style..randomly in the alleys, building sides and bridge pillars of brazil. So, since i must see it all... I am saving up for a trip down there to chase and artist, or at the very least her work...

i am lame.





I would actually like this tattooed in my ribs...my bones.

Meaty- Beefy-Yum yum

Trailer Trash

I love movies. Movie trailers. Movie pop corn...actually no I despise pop corn. But I am looking forward to a few films that await me in the future. Some are closer than others.

Start with a code blue/green..teal? (I couldn't decide btwn the the mild cool colors) all that to say, I'll so see it but ..not at midnight.



Here is the thing the premise is brilliant. Examining apartheid. But those aliens, actually give me goosebumps, and the sounds. I can't sit through that sans sedative.



The world will not end in natural disaster. It will end when I push the button.




Code: Orange Yellow- excitement level - meaning this looks good, damn good.









Yep. The Dude!!!



not to be a sap. but i really do..love new york. its enchanting.


too be continued...

Inglorious Return

I am back to the blog scene with, a vengeance? Not so much. It seems that my life has deteriorated to the limitless ether of the internet. Welcome to post grad depression? I'll call it an opportunity for self realization, and my (personal) re introduction to the ..real world. To get further acquainted with reality, I've started watching television and that experience has proven to add more questions than answers, I mean is this real life?




what the eff?
Its things like this that make me wonder why I even venture out of the literary cave of theory, analysis and academic cynicism I've grown to love. Because I find it deeply disturbing that products like this even exist and are marketed to the general public. Consider the implications...

1. the irrational obsession with youth
2. that no matter what is done the body is a site of imperfection where there is always opportunity for improvement
3. spending money to become physically beautiful is the key to happiness
4. neck fat???? REALLYY??!!!!!

I know there is something more.
