In Touch


First off sorry for being tough to get a hold of. Second, hey to all y'all who are trying to get in touch with me via the internet with which I'd been so out of contact with during the Stuff Yo Face Stupid holiday weekend (a little pre and post as well). Anyway, I'm working the details out, but looking fo some mo. I'll be getting in touch after work today, so give a ring or I'll do the same.


Best Regards,
Chromeeyes.

The Horrors of "The Patriot"Yesterday I had some driving to do. Had a job interview for some holiday work at a catering company and then met my father for dinner in Eau Claire. Anyway, I probably put in about five hours of drive time and prompted by some interpersonal election night discussion thought that I'd check out some talk radio so I could listen to Kerry and then Bush talk about election results. First off, I think Kerry may have won the election if he'd managed to give a speach that conveyed his humanity and deep rooted concern for the country as well as his concession did. Maybe I just didn't tune in enough, but I thought I saw something genuine that I hadn't before. Regardless, the conservative talk radio was frightening. The narrow margin of victory in this election for either candidate should be a cause for concern, not jubilation. I believe the differences between the two candidates were not marginal, but the victory was marginal. The two points of discussion were: 1) relief the the president will still be in power for four more years and 2) How the election results are a sign that the left has isolated itself from anyone, but itself and that the american people want a president who is not afraid to let his personal moral convictions reflect his policy. The latter is a dangerous conclusions considering the results. The discussion should be not what the split means, but ways in which we can reconsile and mend the division. The gloating, while denied as such, is unwarrented considering the margin and genuine concern is needed at this point in time. Anyway, my foray into the blantenly conservative press has presidence, for years I've kept and eye on the weekly standard, just to make sure I know how far off the far off is, maybe it's time to be afraid; I'm afraid of both sides if my perceptions on the backlash are correct.out,Erasmus

Election Results Les Etats-Unis

I have decide that it is clearly time to consider seceding from the union; I think the lines are quite clear enough now. It's time to stop embracing our differences because shortly they're going to tear the country apart and my risque / benifit analysis shows that removing the northeaster seaboard, the western seaboard and the upper midwest from the rest of the so-called free states, is far less destructive sooner than later - so join with me patriots! The time is ripe - organize and when the time comes you will know.

post script: notes on the Old 97s live show

Seriously, how can a band imbue the intensity of Timebomb into every song in their set - including Adelade. Additionally, they played 4 leaf clover with the same death metal vibe that A-ron and I serenaded angie with some years ago. HOO-HA!

DEBATE - VICE

Allright, I watched and listened to the vicepresidental debates last night and seriously.

1 - The Democrats "new" Iraq Plan
a. Train the Iraqi forces faster
b. Rebuild faster
c. Charter a bus (ie Iraq is not safe enough for the Iraqi military to train in so we'll train them elsewhere.)

notes: This plan is not a plan, while I understand that John Edwards did not want to get caught up in the logistics, I want to know how they plan to do things differently other than faster. Also, I'm not fully informed on the Iraq situation, but the statement that all of Iraq is so unstable that there is no where suitable to train is real difficult for me to believe when generally I think at least, the consensus of military and gov't leaders is that there are places where it's bad and places where it's good.

2-I'm really quite angry that John Edwards insinuated that the downturn in the economy that was spurred by the 9-11 attacks and other factors was a function of the current leadership's leadership. While I'm not formally trained enough to be an expert in the field of economics, but to attribute this latest decline to the current regime is symptomatic of a lack of forsight. The economy is a problem right now, job losses are a problem right now, but it's time that politicians started speaking honestly about the economic situation and stop scapegoating the short term. I don't need to be insulted by politicians using ignorance on a subject as a vehicle to misrepresent information. Same goes for the republicans on Iraq.

Vote Nader!

So my morning thoughts are as follows:

1) Is a keg stand also wheezing the juice?
2) I think assroll is a way better word for tp.


Additionally, I hit this Irish pub called the dubliner last night and had three pints of Guiness with my roomate and his gal. Mtt and I played some darts against these chicagoians in town to see the game. Whupped them soundly the first game, but the second game was tight (forgive me I don't usually play the part of the sports hero, so let me revel in my small feat and yeah.) and my last dart in a round in which both teams had opportunity to take the game was a doozy. Score: 54-45 the cleveland avenue X2obcessed up against the chicago omnivor lovers, Erasmus has two darts thrown skirting the fring of the bulls-eye, one bulls-eye left to finish it. I stepped outside to the next line over and whizzed it in sidelong to seal the game. Nothing like calling a shot and then making it to put a cap on a night; next I'll just have to try out that same brand of baud with that brunette talking to her friends at the end of the bar, but alas.

Speaking of little helpless babies (as the ebot was) I saw a 5 gallon bucket with a warning lable the other day with a picture of a toddler head-over-teakettles exclaiming, "Avisio" drowning hazard for small children. Shit, if my kid was dumb enough to drown in a five gallon pail, said child doesn't deserve to swim in the gene pool anymore. But seriously, enough of the warning lables...............I should have one too - any ideas?

Yo,

So, this morning I picked up - upon the recommendation of two reliable sources both the new dillinger escape plan and the detatchment kit's disk (my head still hurts again). Also, I got the ben harper collaboration with the blind boys of alabama - I highly recommend it if you're into that kind of thing - gospel psychodelic rock fusion that is. Anyway, I'm doing some coffee shop chillin' (and they asked me if I wanted three shots or four in my large latte, seriously what kind of 10am saturday morning question is that - but I'll let it slide today) and then I'm working this afternoon into the night, but a saturday morning off feels refreshing like november skinny dipping.

post script: Yo musebomb, I haven't yet dug into that escape plan stuff, but it's qued up next - I'll let you know my thoughts upon completion. Rad.

Today

Today, I woke up at like 6 laid in bed for an hour contemplating my day and then got up drank coffee and showered. That's the way the good ones start. I'm all for it. Unamused by the TV I read the city pages, taken in an uncracked (knowledge gleaned by way of the flyer that fell out of the paper) by my roommate, with my coffee. Got to work, helped a co-worker out with some stuff and here I am. And that's ok by me. I'm going to cook tonight and that should be fine. We'll see how the weekend works out, but I'm aiming to hit the town some night, plus I've got sunday off so, It'll likely be saturday night. Anyway, Y'alls have a cool, crisp weekend and I'll try and get in touch as best I can.

I hate the online quizes, so I like this one

- brought to my attention by vicious lamb. I've got more to say, but I might not right now. Anyway, just chillin' today, got a big one tomorrow (y'all know the drill prayers and such). Also, I think I'm starting to go invisible - got cut off twice on the way to work today - I'd like to drive without getting cut off sometime soon, but unfortunately I'm not sure that's going to happen.

....it seems so out of context, in this gaudy apartment complex.....
& also introducing....


OK, so I ran across a couple of new blogs this week, friends of mine who I haven't run into for a while, hence not connecting with their journals.

First there's musebomb who with the writer of "this is not a fugazi tee-shirt" are responsible dualy for my appreciation of secular independent musicians and lables....music that does not necessarily reflect either my social or moral values.

Second there's Lucy Electric - a friend who I hung with back a couple of years ago when I was really wandering who was wandering a little - I'm real excited to see if she's as grounded as I may or may not be right now.......so keep an eye there too.

For those of you not familiar with the lyrics by the postal service in the subject line it means that I'm sans gf now and again...keep me in your prayers and such.


So that's about all for now, until the next (I hope not monthly) installment.



post script: I'm heading to the Turf tonight to check out some local alt-country stuff - show's at 10 - y'alls invited.

Right, so I picked up the new old 97's disk and change by the dismemeberment plan this weekend. Real happy with both.

Last week was a long one worked in excess of 80 hours between my two jobs and had to deal with probably the most rude person I've ever met. This week is all about taking it easier. That said I'm likely going to have a second interview with a prospective employer this week and I'm looking forward to a new source of primary employment, even if I don't get this one, I'm optomistic that I'll be able, now with a year of sales experience, be able to find a position that'll fit my needs. It kind of feels like I'm starting over again, but in a good, back to school way, not in a fuel-air bomb exploded over my house yesterday way.

Bought some disk, saw some explosions

Ya, so this weekend I bought the new wilco cd. The wilco cd's tough for me to get a grasp of, but it's one of those peices that I'm not fond of now, but likely will be fond of in a month after I've let it soak for a bit. Right, so I went back home to the county with more cows than people and as many stoplights as county seats with my girl and watched the fireworks there - they didn't disappoint - 15 blissful minutes and maybe thrice as many fire works shot into the dark dark sky, good times all around, much deck sitting and sun soaking, pleasent, relaxing. Anyway, here back in the cities after all that is just fine with me as well.

Yo,

I'm not really much for the online quiz thing, but I found this one on metafilter and I like it.

A couple of years ago I read the first in the harry potter series and thought that it was unpalletable, but in the last couple weeks following the release of the latest movie I've read the books that follow "The Prisoner of Askaban" in the series and I honestly enjoyed them. Anyway, right now I'm reading two books, well three really: "The Bone People" by Keri Hulme which was a gift from my youngest sister about 11 months ago (my last b-day), "Memoir from Antproof Case" by Mark Helprin , and "East of Eden" by my beloved John Stienbeck. Anyway, I'm a real fan of Steinbeck's short works - Tortilla Flat and Cannery Row in particular, but after starting EOE I had a breakthough; I've found the key fault in Steinbeck's writing and it's....well deplorable - there's no wizard, witches or any real majic in them at all. Seriously, how can you really write a book or read on for that matter without the necessary presence of a wizard, a good wizard battle or anything of the like. I'm quite dissappointed in this bloke Stienbeck and would contend that he's not a real author at all, just some kind of possuer who pretended to write and was lauded by fradulent critics who through arcaic devices somehow saw past the essential wizards.

Aaaugh!

For a good time check this out; if only for the concluding paragraph:


"The good news is: Liberals' anti-war hysteria seems to have run its course. I base this conclusion on Al Gore (news - web sites)'s lunatic anti-war speech last week. Gore always comes out swinging just as an issue is about to go south. He's the stereotypical white guy always clapping on the wrong beat. Gore switched from being a pro-defense Democrat to a lefty peacenik -- just before the 9/11 attack. He grew a beard -- just in time for an attack on the nation by fundamentalist Muslims. He endorsed Howard Dean (news - web sites) -- just as the orange-capped Deaniacs were punching themselves out. Gore even went out and got really fat -- just before America officially gave up carbs. This guy is always leaping into the mosh pit at the precise moment the crowd parts. Mark my words: Now that good old Al has come lunging in, the anti-war movement is dead. "

Yee Ha!

Hey, don't be afraid to check chromewords . I'm making a concerted effort to try to get two new posts per day up there to force my creativity into renewal. Maybe it's just all shit, but I'll let you throw it at me next time we come face to face.

ps On Chromewords I'm limiting my links to other fiction, but if you've got a suggestion let me know.

Two questions: What was missing, missed.


It's a strange sensation, missing something so terribly that nothing seems right. For me the sensation is made more unnerving because of the oscillation that it induces emotionally. A division between holding the light from one star in your hand, a single strand precisely focused from the span of millions; the incredible invigoration and the acute anguish lined with relief of knowing that when you let go that it must not be yours. Angish and relief in the knowledge that that single strand cannot be held in focus for any longer with at its present clarity and that if again you are able to elucidate its true brillance, a new perspective must be established first.

Looking Backwards (but not by edward bellamy)

I was looking over this thing today and it looks like I took a solid month break in writing this thing. That's good and bad, but I like this outlet and will likely keep it up for some time to come, you know for the sake of the children and all. But, really, I've got to figure out how to motivate myself this way for the rest of my life - some days last forever, some days are timeless, and some days I've got time and time again to do everything that I set out to.

I usually don't get a kick out of those folks who think ripping christians for their prudishness and other beliefs is cool, in fact I think it's probably one of my biggest gripes with the left, but anyway this I really got a kick out of.

Lately I've been taking back routes to get where I'm going. There's something in the redundency of taking the same route to the same place time and time again that irks me. It's enough to break the bordom of travel for me to take a 5 minute detour on my 15 minute drive to work daily. I like to make new connections, connect the city through ways and roads that, while backwards do go places and someday if I need to find one of those places I'll be going by familiar territory in the stead of traveling blindly into an unknown sector. Furthermore, I like to fill in the holes of my understanding of what's around me; the scope of the scape is best understood thuroughly.

I'm not angry anymore.

Short Fiction

After some consideration, I've decided to split my blog. The new site will be comprised of my putrid attempts at short fiction, that way, my life can't be confused with my writing, additionally, those of you who read this to see where I'm at won't have to be innundated by the trash that I try to compose creatively.

Anyway, let me know if there's anything that doesn't work and I'll fix it. Blogger has started putting up new features (I think they support the comments directly now) so I'll see what I can do with that there before I make any additional changes here.

Tomorrow I'm going to post a short story that conceptually I've stewed on for some time. It'll be pretty green, but it's something that I've been meaning to put up since I've started this insane art of blogging. Issue being that I want to be held to my deadline here and elsewhere.

News..........focus

This morning on my standby headline news I saw a report on the ooh scary gmos. The report focused on how to avoid eating these demon products. The problem with the report wasn't the information given, but the assumption that a gmo is "bad". This is the kind of thing that makes me go wild mad. Instead of information I got a shopping guide - "buy certified organic." This is precisely the kind of reporting that all the folks concerned with liberal and conservative bias have issue with, though not with this kind of article. Furthurmore it's not only not informative, but not interesting. More pertinent to the topic would be how, if we as consumers deem that we don't want gmos (the real danger is not to the consumer in the short run (ie medical reasons) but danger to the food supply, loss of diversity in the organisms that produce food for us) then we as consumers have the power to show our choice by not buying products that contain those components. The writing assumes too much and the premise is biased; these people are supposed to be professionals(or maybe I'm asking too much from a cable news networt?).

Ghettoisms

The other night my room-mate, his girl and I were discussing the dynamics of slang. The word "ghettoer" came into play and there was disagreement in the ranks about the proper grammer to use for the root word ghetto. My call is that one should use the most atrocious varient possible when using slang. The "most ghetto" just doesn't have the ring that "ghettoest" does.

I had a late meeting last night and I've got one tonight, so I took the start of the morning off and got into work at about 10am. I had a leisurely morning of coffee, headline news, and some dishes that wanted cleaning and drying. Anyway, first thing on the news was an ABC fluff report about how the republicans were ripping Kerry for his "frenchness" - he can speak nearly perfect French and he's got a cousin who's a mayor of some city there. This pisses me off: 1) that any republican would be so stupid as to try and exploit that & 2) that apparently Kerry is going to some measures to elude people to the connection (ABC said that he'd done a q&a there in french and the French network would not release the footage. So I turned ABC off and watched good old cnn headline news. Headline news had an interview with Don King the boxing promoter giving his loquatious speel about how the Republicans were his choice............my brain kinda turned off. How can there be so much bad election press, why does anyone care what Don King thinks and who's really going to be dissuaded to vote Kerry because he can speak French - he's let his views on the whole Iraque thing be well known from the start, what kind of rational conclusion can one possibly draw from the further knowledge that he speaks french.

Anyway, they're not good much past 11, so if you're still there I'll totally see ya.

Oh, there the ones that you met through that girl Vanessa you cheated on Lindsey with right?

OK, first of all I didn't cheat on her, our relationship was in limbo, Van and I didn't even sleep together, besides it was Lindsey who took opportunity and then called crying wanting to get back together afterwards, probably good she never met Van........yeah, it's them.`

Why don't you just ditch out and hit Eden with us? I promise it'll be better than that........

Naw, I told Mit that we'd hang and he wants to see the band there and he's tighter with them anyway, so I'm kinda stuck with what I got. Hey Mit what's up man?

You guys have a good time I'm heading - seriously though, consider my offer.

Sun


Today, I'm feeling gritty and disheveled. A crazier weekend than most, I woke up this morning with a real suspicion that today I was going to be dragging it seriously. The start of the day was tough, but by about 10 after a caffine infusion and most importantly taking a break to sit outside and soak some sun I'm quite right. Yeah, so I had some hopes lost, concerns raised, met some fine folks, made some potentially interesting connections, chilled, confered and rocked out. That's about the whole of it for me. Let's see where this all goes and hope I can sleep on it, instead of not sleeping as things go.

Convergant Divergent Definite

As a kid I was probably unhealthily enamored with those "choose your own adventure" books. After taking a couple of precursory goes through one of those books, I'd map out a tree figuring out which steps lead to which results so that I could take the best and most adventurous trip through the book. The really interesting endings though as far as I was concerned weren't the good ones that could be accomplished through various routes, I was mainly interested in the novel endings, the endings that were only navicable by way of a discrete set of decisions. When I was about sixteen I had a class that we built an off-line web page in, instead of writing a page about cows or trucks (give my class-mates a break, we grew up in central WI, there really wasn't much more than cows and trucks) I wrote my own choose your own adventure story and embedded links in the illustrations as a navigation tool. First of all, I wish I had that computer disk today. Second, the process of mapping first and then writing instead of reading and mapping was a revelation to me. Additionally, in high school I got involved in this field biology thing were we, for the dnr, sampled the macroinvertabrates in the eau plain flowage as a method of determining organic polution in the river system. What you do is you take a mesh net and collect the water dwelling invertibrates, put them in a jar with some formaldehyde and then figure out which order, genera and species they are by using what's called a dichotomous key. The point is that the key and the books are really much the same thing, you follow a set of directions which converge and diverge based on a set of decisions. A contemporary definition of insanity is repeating the same steps expecting different results. What then I counter is taking different paths to the same results. Furthermore, what does it mean then to define those paths.

3rd swing

I was discussing the upcoming election with my roommate and the issue of "a vote for nader is a vote for bush came up." He, being a Minnesotan, was first afraid of the Jessie V. effect, that enough people would vote for a "novelty" canidate and he'd actually get elected. While not out of the realm of possibliities, this situation is far from probable especially considering the fallout that is associated with Nader's involvement in the last election. Now, while nader's politics are completely weird as far as I'm concerned, the issue really is not his politics, but the possiblity of a legitimate third party ascending to power in this country. While I'm not the first to suggest such a party (K_raus what the address of that guy who writes the decemberist?) a socially inclusive, fiscally conservative party would be real refreshing to my eyes. That much said, a swinging thrid party endorsement could be an extremely powerful tool - consider the nader issue in the last election, people voted novelty and it's likely that the Republican won the election as a result, conversly if a legitimate third party were to put backing behind a canidate (assuming concessions were made to that party) in an election year like this it could mean the election. I'm not sure that this is a better way to run the government (three parties), but it's an intriguing hypothetical lense to view the current election through as John Kerry starts to ouline his intended policies and GW Bush defends his decisions and direction.

Content contention contentment.


I've thought quite a bit about this blogging thing, content and such lately and while I think tara has it right, I'm not so sure that I've got it down yet. What started as an exercise in writing has become more, I started writing in a sort of uninhibited glaze I've lost some of that and thus lost content and unforseen structural difficulties. The point of inhibition is pointless.......... I shouldn't have any and this isn't really even me writing here, so maybe this disclaimer will keep me mindful of what is and what's not.

Enter.


I met with invigoration this weekend. For those of you who know consider the vigor renewed and the intent resolve that revolves around this man. I often wonder how a nominal conversation with old friends can make such an impact, but suddenly redeemed is again renewed. New connections, new possiblilities in my world, my brain, wherein the spidering thoughts end, turn sharply and predicate the novel possiblities that have chilled a bit in a brine that preserves, but not without consequence. The consequence is that old resolutions have taken on a new twist, absorbing salt and the dregs of memories seeping in, redisributing flavours.

Consider it accomplished.

Unwashed.



Some days are days for cleansing - today, the cleansing ritual is not a sufficient buffer to disconnect, disinterest a mind swirling with intentions to refresh and collapse on the moment.

Raucous laughter ensues.

Yeah, so I'm up and running....gonna peruse some pages now and see if I can find any nifty touches and then get the color scheme nasty to my approval (yee haH). Eat it!

Yo,

Today, I'm all about what I need to do today. I need to pick up some new music because I'm just crying pissing cacking sick of the tunes I've got to listen to in the car now. I need to get real agressive getting some other vocation lined up I've been kinda sitting back on that while things have heated up lately at my current work, but this week I've built and assurance that either I'm going to have to get crazy aggressive building my buisness (which is realistic in the real-estate industry) or find a new game cause I've got to win and I'm pretty much drawing here as of now.

Anyway, today I'm gettiing my links, comments....etc up and running, let me know if something's not working for you.

Hell yeah,
Erasmus

This is the end.
