Surrender your thumb

Published on 2012-05-17 22:03:00

Tuesday, May 31, 2005Surrender your thumbToday I was woken up by jackhammers. I tried to reclaim my sleep but the noise was like a machine gun and I could feel the vibration in my teeth. The t-house I sleep in rests among many citrus trees: orange, tangerine, blood orange. There's also some peach trees and fig trees. What finally led me out of my bed, though, was the voices of a woman and a man. The woman was oohing and ahhing about how delicious the blood orange was. The man gives in to her tem [..] > read more

Nepotism can only take you so far

Published on 2012-05-11 03:26:00

The instant I enter the dessert and chips aisle in Rainbow Bridge, I spy a young man with close-cropped brown hair obligingly pecking a homely blonde-haired girl on the cheek; her head tilted upwards suggesting a sense of entitlement while his eyes cast downwards towards the cream puffs. It only takes a fraction of a second to recognize who they are: its the newlyweds. Her sly glance takes in my presence, she whispers in his ear, they turn their backs and slither away. Pear-shaped smugness. Such [..] > read more

Newlyweds Can't Read

Published on 2012-03-18 21:50:00

Obviously, the newlyweds have not been reading Bardo Surfer. I just got off the phone with the landlord. "Uhh, I was wondering if you could write up a note that says your gonna move out."I'm not in the mood for being 'pressured' (see: harassment) so I'm like, "I've changed my mind. I've thought about it and concluded that: if you want assurances, than you need to give us a 60 day quit notice. That's the law.""Uhh, my relatives are really pressuring me to get something in writing." ('relatives' e [..] > read more

#occupywallstreet

Published on 2011-10-17 20:52:00

The problem lies within the system itself - it is deeply flawed. Wall Street and banks regulating themselves, govt. corruption, unemployment etc - all symptoms of an ailing system. Congress is for sale, the senate is for sale, supreme court is for sale and of course: president mouthpiece is for sale. I like your call for a third party to step up although in my view it would actually be, in practice, a second party. I, along with many others, believe the 2 party system is a myth.

President Mouthpiece

Published on 2011-10-12 04:27:00

President Mouthpiece hired himself out to the highest bidders long before November. It was a silent auction and you, the earth and I were not invited. There were no cameras. The campaign, a necessary fiction, easily abstracted the herd of primates. It was a good show. The inauguration was entertaining, dramatic, beautiful and heart wrenching as a royal wedding and just as meaningless. RADARSHERPAatom feed > read more

The Media Will Eat Itself

The media has A.D.D., will sell out to the highest bidder and right now is completely under the influence of a drug called Charlie Sheen. The media has a million eyes, can only live in the spotlight and does not believe in monogamy. If you are lucky, > read more
