The first step was to become jobless

-Eric Pan

Fiasco!
You know he didn't have enough power in his thrusters to muster Warp five
Plus if he pushed it
The fuel cells could rupture then they would die
Then the galaxy would suffer but he knew he had to try
But he couldn't risk it, put the cure in the escape pod and kissed it
And told her goodbye, she started to cry, but he knew if he could distract 'em
He could buy her some time and she could make it out alive
Turn the suit around and got prepared for the stand off
Space mind had blew one of the hands off
Damaged laser cannons and he got the system jammed
And he faced the whole fleet, blood seeping through his teeth
The final saga in the seven planet wars
Unsheathed the sword and then he charged forward
His eyes flashed behind the cracked cockpit glass
He let out a laugh and then all she heard was a blast like

-Lupe Fiasco

He who wants the world
to remain as it is
doesn't want it
to remain at all.

“I Am Not I”

BY JUAN RAMÓN JIMÉNEZ
TRANSLATED BY ROBERT BLY
I am not I.
           I am this one
walking beside me whom I do not see,
whom at times I manage to visit,
and whom at other times I forget;
who remains calm and silent while I talk,
and forgives, gently, when I hate,
who walks where I am not,
who will remain standing when I die.

Just One More Game ...

I love you, I'm not in love with you
Vivid lives are lived in the company of vibrant people.
The man who tweets about the hot woman next to him 
is half the man who actually talks to her.
Enormous frustration born of traveling from
one end of this country to the other over the past three years, looking at
almost every conceivable form of energy generation, and meeting all
sorts of wacky, wild, and wonderful energy innovators, entrepeneurs, and
venture capitalists-from garage mechanics to directors of our premier
research institutes-and coming away feeling that we are really primed
for green takeoff, that we have all the necessary ingredients for a real
Code Green revolution, but our government has not shaped the market
to capitalIze on what is naturally bubbling up from below.

I have no use for his approach. He doesn't ever commit, he doesn't stick to his principles. He's been all over the map on gay issues, on abortion, on everything else, on individual mandates. He's not a man that's willing to stand by his principles and his convictions. He appears to be unprincipled.

-Russ Feigngold talking about Mitt Romney
Just a friendly reminder.

Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mobs.
-Franklin Delano Roosevelt
"Those who sacrifice freedom for safety deserve neither."


-Benjamin Franklin
"You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orienatation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, "Look at that, you son of a bitch."


- Edgar Mitchell
  (Apollo 14 Astronaut)
The cops picked up my girl,
she didn’t have no bail.
She shook it for the judge and he,
threw them cops in jail.



-The Barstool Romantic
"I ain't draft dodging. I ain't burning no flag. I ain't running to Canada. I'm staying right here. You want to send me to jail? Fine, you go right ahead. I've been in jail for 400 years. I could be there for 4 or 5 more, but I ain't going no 10,000 miles to help murder and kill other poor people. If I want to die, I'll die right here, right now, fightin' you, if I want to die. You my enemy, not no Chinese, no Vietcong, no Japanese. You my opposer when I want freedom. You my opposer when I want justice. You my opposer when I want equality. Want me to go somewhere and fight for you? You won't even stand up for me right here in America, for my rights and my religious beliefs. You won't even stand up for my right here at home. "

-Mohammad Ali after he refused to go fight in Vietnam.

Once upon a time, in the House of Commons, Winston Churchill was orating at an incredible length, politically stagnating the debate in order to stall the approval of a decision that he opposed. When he was interrupted in a way only allowed in the rowdy style of politics that England is known for.


"Sir, you are drunk; you are very, very drunk." (something Churchill was well known for)

To which he replied

“Madam, you are ugly; you are very, very ugly. And in the morning, I will be sober and you will still be ugly.”

The product of art - temple, painting, statue, poem - is not the work of art. The work takes place when a human being cooperates with the product so that the outcome is an experience that is enjoyed because of its liberating and ordered properties.


-John Dewey, "Art as Experience"
"Let life happen to you. Life is in the right, always."


-Rilke
You take a really sleepy man, Esmé, and he always
stands a chance of again becoming a man
with all his fac--with all his f-a-c-u-l-t-i-e-s intact.

The GO, You Go Bangin' On

Joey Farber, Stuck in the Mud
THE fountains mingle with the river

And the rivers with the ocean,

The winds of heaven mix for ever

With a sweet emotion;

Nothing in the world is single,
         5
All things by a law divine

In one another's being mingle—

Why not I with thine?


excerpt from Love's Philosophy
by Percy Bysshe Shelley
My face is smushed against the glass –
cheekbone and jawline numb from
the cold, and long hours spent pressed
against the window. Rhythmic breaths
create patches of fog along the contours of my nose and lips.

Out of the corner of my right eye
I catch glimpses of the landscape we
pass by, but I’ve seen it all before.
Concrete barriers and painted lines
keep my driver on course.

Beyond the asphalt and wildflower medians
sprawl cornfields, suburban neighborhoods,
vast parks. Perpetual movement fools me
and for a moment, I am stationary –
free to view the passing still frames
of others’ lives.

Another mile marker and tired eyes flutter –
the endless strings of telephone lines,
cow pastures and landfills blur together
as the lullaby resonating from the spinning
axles beneath my feet sings me to sleep again.
