Alina the egg with two mothers

October 7, 2007 – 7:24 pm

There is a girl in the egg in my hand in my pocket on the street. There is a door in the building that I’m in and I’m in that door. The doctor says I’ve got just the little tools to break the little egg to save the little chick from the shells that I will break. And he knocks on the shell and breaks the little shells of the egg that she’s in the room that she’s in in the room that I’m in. She’s a little yellow chick in a broken little egg in the palm of my hand in a tight little street. I check and she’s dead not a movement in her head so I put her away and I’m on my way. Now the little brows twitch the little yellow brows twitch on the yellow face twitch on the yellow face they twitch. Now a little fur shows, little yellow fur. And the next time that she’s under the afternoon sun and I blow on her face and they really open, little brown eyes open. So I tickle her feet and they stretch out, out. Out, out, out. She gets up on her feet, little yellow feet, and jumps around. I take her to her house and explain to her who it is in the pictures she forgot. So the clock hits four and her older little sister is back from school where she learned and she says hi you’re back and I say yes she is and she says yes I am and I say can you believe… But there’s a knock on her door and her mom is home and her mom says hi and she says yes I am and I say can you believe… But the mom says geez, they don’t let me anywhere anymore, it is as though I made her calcitrate and turn to egg. And I say how did it happen anyway and she said well she passed out ofcourse. And shrunk ofcourse. To a chick ofcourse. To an egg ofcourse. And I say wow, she is four feet high. Can you believe?

From the outer space meditation manual

October 7, 2007 – 2:54 pm

Written for the space vacuum test. The participant is left in space with enough oxygen and food for one year. There are no visible planets close by. The participant has no watch or other instrument to orient him or herself in time and space. There is no distress button, but a ship will return to recover the participant if the vitals are contingent. The top prospects score on a bell curve. The record is 96 hours. An underground network of past participants developed a booklet with helpful information on how to score well on the test. The booklet’s effectiveness was monitored by the testing agency. The following words double an average expected stay time (and are, in fact, what the record holder hummed for 96 hours.)

Happiness is a word.
Love is a word.
Word is a word.

Quotes from “Doctor Glas” by Hjalmar Soderberg

September 30, 2007 – 9:52 pm

“We want to be loved; failing that, admired; failing that, feared; failing that, hated and despised. At all costs we want to stir up some sort of feeling in others. Our soul abhors vacuum. At all costs it longs for contact.”

“The world isn’t kind to those who love. And in the end it leads into darkness, for them and for all of us.”

“All philosophy lives by, and wholly feeds on, is verbal ambiguities… If we are to talk philosophy to any purpose language must be remade from the ground up.”

“Markel: But even if I agree to your way of using words, that doesn’t mean it’s true that every one seeks happiness. There are people who haven’t any gift for it all and are painfully and ruthlessly aware of the fact. Such people don’t seek happiness, only to get a little form and style into their unhappiness .
And, suddenly without warning, he added:
–Glas is one of them
This last astounded me.”

“In reality, surely, this is what is always happening: we know so little about one another. We embrace a shadow and love a dream.”

“And what is moonshine? Secondhand sunshine. Diluted, counterfeit.”

Be a red, Grodsky

September 21, 2007 – 4:12 pm

The point is, Grodsky, you have to be a red in the end. A blue is never going to verb with you unless you have done something wrong, really wrong. In both cases the blues are the ones doing wrong, replacing red whenever it is not around with whatever they can find. In the end you have to be a red and verb it.

The Taming

September 13, 2007 – 9:39 am

And then again there were nights that he thought it would not befriend him. Peeking through the brush at high moon, the massive trunks glistening in the dark, he saw it curl and turn thinking. Has his offer been accepted? He doubted that he could sneak to the altar and check. Has it taken it up, looked at it, puzzled over it, smelled it, licked. Or did it leave it there for the night creatures to carry away. Did it tarry around the platform, moving its lids slowly down, casting a protective glance at the darkness? Or did it pass by as if nothing was ever there, unaware of the scent he had left. Could it see red? Was it all in vain because the two bloods were incompatible. He crawled back through the brush to check on the remaining coals. Turning the coals on their red face, pecking the stick at their white bellies, he wondered. Suprisingly there were no memories, only a feeling of defenselessness and rogue volatility. Would his small, squirrel-like limbs last him through the cold season? Was there anyone left of the broken race? Would he grow another one and give it again to that which he shivered to befriend? Was it still beating?

Terminal

As logic would have it there were two ends to the cord. The current passed from one to the other. As logic would have it the tide paced from shore to shore. Where the moon and the sun is. How does a creature say farewell to the forest. Were the furs a call to the weather?

How far and how long does
Well how far and how long does
Did you ever

As logic would have it an immobile biomass warped a cry. Did you ever? How does a creature say farewell to its body? Where do the furs turn to tail. A bigot fucks its mother. Well I, I

can’t tell the future.

The condition of the passenger in most stationary situations is to be moved along with the mass and the similar objects by the. The condition of the passenger is the mass chronicling a pre-written passage. The contingency of the passenger is hope. The error of the passenger is hope that being a passenger is not the end condition of being moved by the. The rhythm of the passenger is predictable. Such is the condition of the passenger.

Live birth, menstrual blood: pioneer images in Knocked Up and Superbad

August 24, 2007 – 10:53 am

Knocked Up and Superbad were, for me, not only the two best movies of the summer, but made it up there on the all time list as well. I heard of the failures of The Cable Guy (same producer, Judd Apatow) and Freaks and Geeks (same producer, actors), but the group has hit an entertainment goldmine this time around. Both movies were a huge box office success, but I won’t go into why the audiences may have liked them so much. What is indeed most interesting about these movies is that they premier, in a Hollywood blockbuster, images never before popularly viewed on the big screen: live birth in Knocked Up, and menstrual blood in Superbad.

While the live birth passed by audiences as a beauty factor and a sequence during an intense part of the movie, the menstrual spot on Seth’s borrowed pants slid in as a pure gag factor the audience accepted it mostly on its shock value. Regardless of technique, both moments pioneer topics that are shunned in conversation and common humor alike, and did so in a seamless, creative matter. Birth is beautiful - each one of us was born once - it represents a beggining to everything we know. Menstrual blood is regarded as a black topic in all cross-gender public conversation. Why should it be? I can’t tell whether this is an offense to women or a big step for feminists but I think the debut of smart comedy could not have been done without it.

A plea to the user, admin (God)

August 24, 2007 – 10:47 am

Owing to the nature of the simulation it is my humble proposal to see for myself who it is that is running it, and to humbly ask you to send me a video of the physical universe in which the machine is installed, which should not be hard, I am not asking you for the source code. As a bargaining chip I’d like to note that I have discovered the technique by which you manage to sustain a computing power to emulate the universe, within your universe, that is, I know why it is possible for you to store seemingly all the information in the universe within a simulation: you have removed some basic physics properties from the universe engines, thus causing multiple insolvent mysteries for us in our physical universe, and, yes, I know that these are rather mistakes - universe parameters surrendered to randomness in order to sustain the far more important task of maintaining a planet (or planets) of intelligent beings. The mystery=mistake paradigm is apparent - our greatest scientific finding (quantum mechanics) is that matter characteristics can only be discovered by chance - a sloppy trick which makes all big things (space objects, galaxies) work, but fails considerably at all things small, forcing us to build larger and larger equipment only to consistently discover error in the smaller parts of the system. It is probably an efficient trick to assume that there is only this far that we can dig and that surrendering basic forces (gravity, particle property fields) to a prescription, rather than a formula, would ultimately fool us, but, it didn’t fool me. My humble request thus is for you to send me a video, please determine appropriate format, of you and your surroundings.

Yours, Quentin.

Nuclear church bell

August 24, 2007 – 10:47 am

Manny made a dirty bomb from an old church bell, household stuff, and nuclear contents of thousands of smoke detectors and we are about to launch it at the the Bush-Putin residence from my roof. Anton and Umit are here. I feel the bell around, it is unstable, the topmost part a swiveling antenna-like piece. Manny sets it off with a match and we run down six flights, to the subway. I’m the first one at the turnstyle, but I don’t have anything to pay with. Umit hops in front of me and I follow suit. We get out on Chambers street and walk by the WTC site, the Kremlin across the street. “You think it went off man?” and as I turn I see him pointing at the Kremlin standed in a firework of light flame. Manny has a pocket bomb to follow up in case we missed. He fills the champagne glass with the contents and sets it off with a match. We run. I see the light first, the glass didn’t fire, and then the heat catches up with me and I wonder if it is radioactive. A mad man yells “fuck you mother fucker, i’m going to fucking kill you, motherucker.” I make it to a side street and Tash is here to visit. I wonder if any cops are around and we go upstairs. Zay probably saw the burns on the roof. Something to warm our hands over. Out the window a firetruck and a cop car pull up. I am not afraid.

And at night

August 24, 2007 – 10:46 am

The brilliant necrocity of a black tree in wintertime, sodden over, and rigid as a malicious climax embrace, leering down its own shoelaces, scanning the wire structures of the passerbies, forgetful of leaves and berries, and thinking only, if only I could thrust, and thinking only, fuck you, wind, thinking only as far as a neuron can work in shitass cold, a process description on power down, a reader head scraping the tracks, complaining, and at night, when the lights warm its shoulders, and dogs piss and corrode its roots, and teenagers break bottles on its lips, and grandmothers and priests staring at it and seeing only cock, at night, when the lights warm his shoulders, there is a tad of universe weaving through his branches, an airplane, a star, god’s wad of cum, an apple, a diode, and each branch holds still to let weaving weave, all code streaming to a bit of processor, soul, carapace, cavity, and thinking only, hold it, hold it tight, a deluge of nothing, all piss gone to hell, and a kid with his back to the bark, Quentin, eating a sweaty pickle with his right hand.

Grodsky’s Rivers

August 24, 2007 – 10:45 am

Take this as truth: you will outlive everyone that is close to you. The science of loss is the most important science, even if those who developed it or those that have read it are no longer alive you will be. As a standard line of a universal schematic you will survive. All other versions of you in which your consciousness is dead will phase out unnoticed. I may live in one of them and you may be dead in it, because I too will survive indefinitely. Ghandi survives in several dimensions indefinitely. Ghandi forced all moments to their respective crises, and in our dimension he died. In another, he is still alive and the world is different and maybe better. The reason we notice the deaths of great people more so than those of the average is because great people’s deaths affect an ending to a lifeline which dominated a single dimension. We are now without them. This way of the universe ensures that all of us live the longest. It ensures that in the face of risk we get the luckiest side of the deal, always. In all the death-of-consciousness possibilities we die, in all others we survive. This is also a proof to the inextinguishability of life. Somewhere, there is a dimension where we cared for our environment. Somwhere, there is a dimension where Kurt Cobain lived, where that really good guy won presidency, where weapons were not invented. That is, a certain set of more perfect dimensions exists which do not impact ours whatsoever, but ensure the proliferation of life regardless — without consciousness the universe ends. As to the location of this one has only to look at dark mass and dark energy. The close to infinite and shifting weight and power is there, there is solid proof for it, but we will never see it. That is, the universe is replicated on top of itself, in itself, as particles and energy pass from a graspable dimension to an ungraspable one. All of this exists only because some of us live and some of us die. We search our lives from beggining to end when we are faced with death because we are looking for a route in which we lived longer. That is, our bodies are constantly aware of a sampling out to different places, thus we yearn for these connections when we are faced with death. Not all of our consciousnesses are dealt a hand to survive the longest. That is there maybe thousands of you’s, yet yours may be a a copy with a shorter survival span, yet you will live as long as it is possible from the moment you read this — all circumstances are culminated in favor of a consciousness that has realized its capacity to live almost indefinitely. That is, once aware of the splittings that occur, you may force certain decisions to bend the fabric of the real — drop your secretary job to find a cure for cancer — give up biking and other stupid hobbies to look for an elixir of immortality — to your own accord: all your failures will go unnoticed to your longest lifespan progenitor copy. That is, if you want to be a real hero, you always will be, or will always achieve a phantastic result. This is why violent bank robbers are most succesful, in most dimensions. They force the moment to such a limited set of outcomes — death at the hands of police, etc — that their chances become dramatically increased. By reducing the situation to a simplified crisis you ensure that a consciousness that is aware of multiple outcomes proceeds with success. If you are not successful, you have fallen into one of the failing hands, yet understand that repetition can only increase your chances. This is a common world belief. This is not true to games of chance or financial chance, with no risk of imminent death. If a death of consciousness is not involved your chances are what your chances are — that is, only a few of you will win the bet, while all the others become poorer, a practice which makes the financial lifespan of your total relative dimensions unchanged. If you really want to win at roulette, point a gun to your head that will fire automatically when you lose. You will always win. Both of the contestants in Russian roulette always win. Scientifically speaking Russian roulette is your best bet. The apparent disgust here is that I speak of money. Grodsky always thought about money. Every second. I told him, no, rarely. The folds of his skin gave out rivers of sweat. The point here is that despite that we do not exist, we’ve figured out why anyway. We do not exist, as in the total mass of the universe, that is, all matter, and all the energy in the universe, all the dark stuff included, added up, in a most elaborate microscope designed and focused on the smallest possible particle, say a graviton, can not observe its properties in full, that is, all of existence in perfect design can not witness its smallest part. There is no physcial existence because the physical existence can not witness itself. This doesn’t matter. Whatever something somewhere has dreamt up and has shattered into, though not graspable, ensured that we would never escape the graspability of things. That is, it was never really it, but once shattered in all cosciousnesses and all dimensions no longer simply large enough to realize that the dream is a dream. The universe is a schitzophrenic psychosis. Schitzophrenia’s complication is that the possibilities of consciousness shatter are endless — body in one dimension, mind in another — mind partially in two dimensions — two consciousnesses in one body — a consciousness sensitive of splits, dragging onto multiple dimensions — the obsession with schitzophrenia is that it is a natural part of us to see the unreal and the multiple, that is, we are constantly a part of it. That is, things are hard to enjoy. The days are longer as we take less chances. Things are smaller and humbler as we follow external rules. Rivers of sweat from Grodsky’s cheeks, that’s what got me going. Why try so hard, still alive regardless, and so squashed with drink, barely standing, a bridge and a hundred lights in the distance. It’s a very precise project, he said, he should know, sending all this metal and rubber overseas, to one with children, and a wife, and sausage with tea in the morning, the mountains an hour away, the sea at the press of a pedal, puddle-wonderful, to steal his words, the child on all fours and then twos, and living breathing and dying relatives all around, a smelling, and hot and moving world, somewhere where the grass gets yellow, and is still okay, better, get nosebleeds and be happy, cold rivers and stinky good meat. The rivers on Grodsky’s cheeks, he can no longer make tears. All the metal and rubber under his ass, buying false sausage and selling it to those that dream of yellow grass, and something that is smelling, and moving. Poor Grodsky, poor us. The rivers on Grodsky’s cheeks, that what got me going — he too a lover of horses and the smells swept to the road from the world just barely outside what he and others have trampled on — he too a forgetful lot of thoughts and endeavors, lost in the goodness of smell, and the pain at feet, that happens more than hurts — he too a masturbating, thinking, dying monster — smelling and crying, the rivers on his cheeks. This is also grabbing me, the rivers, the water that failed to be it. Not like sticky pond water, where the grasshoppers incensed with a virus jump into, another consciousness struggling to survive, smaller, smaller than we can see, a virus. Rivers rather then water, hot empty rivers. With a hundred lights behind him. That tree that Dreamer hanged himself on, minus branch, right behind him, that was a show. That is the point again — happy if a world around you is smaller, understandable, grasping the building across, but forgetting the valley in-between. If I am grasping my consciousness correctly Grodsky will die before me. Unless he is grasping his more, in secret. Our preoccupation with number, an unneccesary technique, we will all survive. We will all be the last man on earth, and that will be a lonely day. A dead dry. There is no answer any more only afraid to test the hypothesis. Put your body on the line. Get smart. Get good, at everything. Get weatherized, famous. Get powerful. The only thing Fred lacked was a metaphysics to play the toilet bowl to his butcheeks. The rivers of ass vomit either way. The rivers out of Fred’s cheeks. Wonder if he hated himself. Remember frying eggs and thinking, did he hate himself, a sad man, he lived on in some dimension, demented, or emperor, or pervert. Weird Fred. Certain people are better off on drugs. Fred on marijuana. Or your parents. A sort of a banged up miner with his cock out. That’s all it is. Get strong. Get powerful. Mind the valley between. Rivers rather then water. A way to bring it all back with periods, fill space, get famous. Fred knew what it was. Be pompous. In all self love even if you write for them, if you love yourself and believe in your power you are doing it only for yourself in the end, in all self love. To steal a language is to steal a tongue in Russian. Russian roulette. Physically ungraspable. The conundrum at hand is that too many people care for too many people. The family, a haven for lifespan and longevity is no longer a propulsion, and the cares cripple everyone. That is, the ultimate path is in most circumstances forfeited, thus a single random dimension deviating from a recent split, say ten years, has an extremely high chance of being boring. Noone took the chance, or not enough did, too many cared for too many and too little for the themselves and the power. This is also a sacrifice for an expanded happiness. That is, short term with no power. Too many in a house of comfort, but a basin of boredom. Not enough to keep everyone afloat on the tele. Constantly running out of feed. So Grodsky and I stole toy rocking horses and took them out to the side of the highway. We covered them with lighter fluid and let them go. Weird man, Grodsky.
