Nice.
I'd love to be able to get a hold of all the stuff I wrote for a few companies last century. Lots of tapping into ACAD's API through VB and a host of grread LISP functions. I spent countless hours developing routines for ComEd/G.E. and a few architectural/eng firms only to have totally forgotten what the heck I did. Just a quick browse would bring me back though. |

“We're so self-important. So arrogant. Everybody's going to save something now. Save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save the snails. And the supreme arrogance? Save the planet! Are these people kidding? Save the planet? We don't even know how to take care of ourselves; we haven't learned how to care for one another. We're gonna save the ****in' planet? . . . And, by the way, there's nothing wrong with the planet in the first place. The planet is fine. The people are ****ed! Compared with the people, the planet is doin' great. It's been here over four billion years . . . The planet isn't goin' anywhere, folks. We are! We're goin' away. Pack your ****, we're goin' away. And we won't leave much of a trace. Thank God for that. Nothing left. Maybe a little Styrofoam. The planet will be here, and we'll be gone. Another failed mutation; another closed-end biological mistake.”

Well, that just stinks.

"Be helpless, dumbfounded,
Unable to say yes or no. Then a stretcher will come from grace To gather us up. We are too dull-eyed to see that beauty. If we say we can, we’re lying. If we say No, we don’t see it, That No will behead us And shut tight our window onto spirit. So let us rather not be sure of anything, Besides ourselves, and only that, so Miraculous beings come running to help. Crazed, lying in a zero circle, mute, We shall be saying finally, With tremendous eloquence, Lead us. When we have totally surrendered to that beauty, We shall be a mighty kindness." - Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī |
"I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love,
If you want me again look for me under your boot-soles. You will hardly know who I am or what I mean, But I shall be good health to you nevertheless, And filter and fibre your blood. Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged, Missing me one place search another, I stop somewhere waiting for you." - Walt Whitman |
Personal perception of perfection is like that. You see what you want to see. After a while, you just see what you need to.

I love a good monologue (although I guess technically this is a dialogue):
Wake: Yer fond of me lobster aint’ ye? I seen it -- yer fond of me lobster! Say it! Say it. Say it! Winslow: I don’t have to say nothin’. Wake: Damn ye! Let Neptune strike ye dead Winslow! HAAARK! Hark Triton, hark! Bellow, bid our father the Sea King rise from the depths full foul in his fury! Black waves teeming with salt foam to smother this young mouth with pungent slime, to choke ye, engorging your organs til’ ye turn blue and bloated with bilge and brine and can scream no more -- only when he, crowned in cockle shells with slitherin’ tentacle tail and steaming beard take up his fell be-finned arm, his coral-tine trident screeches banshee-like in the tempest and plunges right through yer gullet, bursting ye -- a bulging bladder no more, but a blasted bloody film now and nothing for the harpies and the souls of dead sailors to peck and claw and feed upon only to be lapped up and swallowed by the infinite waters of the Dread Emperor himself -- forgotten to any man, to any time, forgotten to any god or devil, forgotten even to the sea, for any stuff for part of Winslow, even any scantling of your soul is Winslow no more, but is now itself the sea! Winslow: Alright, have it your way. I like your cookin’. |

"Next week on Moments of Wonder I'll be asking, "Why do we cry, when it's the onions that are getting hurt?" - Philomena Cunk

^ Haha, that's funny, Lisna. I've never heard of Philomena, but looked her up and think I'd like to see Cunk on Earth sometime.

"We fill the hands and nurseries of our children with all manner of dolls, drums, and horses, withdrawing their eyes from the plain face and sufficing objects of nature, the sun, and moon, the animals, the water, and stones, which should be their toys. So the poet's habit of living should be set on a key so low and plain, that the common influences should delight him. His cheerfulness should be the gift of the sunlight; the air should suffice for his inspiration, and he should be tipsy with water."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson |
^ That's a great quote, ribbons: so well-written with its simple images. I'm not too sure that it has ever been possible to get children interested in stones and sky rather than dolls and drums, but I like his idea of the poet's life, "set on a key so low and plain" and being "tipsy with water".
More recent artists who have sung about a similar approach:- Paul Simon: “You want to be a writer, don’t know how or when? / Find a quiet place, use a humble pen.” Nick Drake: "You can take the road that takes you to the stars now /I can take a road that'll see me through." ______________________________ Yes Philomena Cunk can be quite funny, but she has a rather limited range with her humour. When she does interviews, it's quite amusing to see how genuine experts respond. Here's a few on the topic of music:- |
Quote:
“A child sees the face of its mother, it sees in it a completely different way than other people see it, I am not speaking of the spirit of the mother but of the features and the whole face, the child sees it from very near, it is a large face for the eyes of a small one, it is certain the child for a little while only sees a part of the face of its mother, it knows one feature and not another, one side and not the other, and in his way Picasso knows faces as a child knows them and the head and the body. He was then commencing to try to express this consciousness and the struggle was appalling because, with the exception of some African sculpture, no one had ever tried to express things seen not as one knows them but as they are when one sees them without remembering having looked at them.” Quote:
