some people can make the mundane seem intresting -i generally make the mundane seem even more so -
my sister came into town this weekend, and we went to s fetish club downtown - it was somewhat interesting, but i expected more, like maybe a large crucifix that members of the crowd could nail themselves to and be flogged with wet strips of splintered bamboo, or a screraming pile of finger painted sexuality writhing to some primordial bass line -some sort of symbolic gesture - a hundred people standing, arms in the air and palms outstretched, a message towards the three million people in our city zooming by in little cars in a hurry to get nowhere - a hundred people letting go of their lives and falling into the crowd. But no, once again something that could have been so much more was reduced to a fucking fashion show.
nonconformity is a state of mind, not a fashion statement. They don't sell enlightenment at hot topic.
Man, being unemployed is really turning me into a cynic. I've decided to go independant with my furnitue and i'm working on some canvases for a gallery, all fine and dandy - but as much as i don't want to, i still need a part-time job out in the world or i'll end up isolating myself from everything and everyone. It seems romantic, but after a year or so one gets a look in ones eyes that makes the post-lady unknowingly reach for her mace and hurry on to the next house, wondering why she felt that acid like sense of terror, a terror that said things are different over here, that something on this block has changed....
