Halloween, my favorite holiday> Or at least it shoud be a holiday. It is the only one that makes any sense to me. In fact, I would make dressing up a tri-annual event if I was in charge. Viva la revolution para mas dias de las meurtes!

"Humanity, let us say, is like people packed in an automobile which is travelling downhill without lights at a terrific speed and driven by a four year old child. The signposts along the way are all marked "progress." - Lord Dunsany
I don't know who the hell Lord Dunsany was but it appears he is mostly right. Except I might substitute "humanity" for "civilization," this...

We partied last night, once again redefining the party mode. Booze drinks, cigars and what were those three girls doing in the bathroom for 45 minutes? Up til 6, lots of water, feeling great, going skating...

Funny how life can be busy and fun and mostly rewarding, doing what you supposidly wanted to do and yet that nagging sense of *what am I doing?* and *what for?* creeps in again. What is it? Lonliness? Or some deeper existential issue, apparent to anyone who has ever thought about it...
Ah...fuck it...perhaps I should just get out more.

Read today: "It was an eight story building from the sixties- one of those buildings I've driven by a thousand times and never noticed, sort of like the architectural version of myself. Inside it was cool and smelled of sanitation products. The print on the elevator's DOOR CLOSE button was almost worn off. I pointed it out to Mom and said, "I bet there are...

I don't know about you, but Mexico is calling. Jesus it's freezing here. Going to the studio today, I felt like I would freeze and die in one spot if I stopped moving. Stay warm too! (a good Canadian greeting, eh?)

possibly a little forced.. that's alright.. if it's a rhyme in the name of Guiness, I'm okay with that.. 
So much trouble in the world...earthquakes and tsunamies hit so close to home in this close quartered world. Everyone has a friend somewhere.

I had a dream a long time ago, before Bush, before any of this recent shit, that in our (my) lifetime I would know some kind of crazy, otherworldly violence, disruption, chaos. Some kind of disruption to this artificially maintained status quo that is the West, that is Canada, with its resources and low population. In the dream I think I was carrying a rifle or something. It was like a civil war. I don't know. It seems crazy. In a way it doesn't seem so far off. If you take the long view, every civilization falls apart, usually for ecological reasons essentially. We are no different, though our culture breeds a sense of immunity. It seems though that this culture is so global that the house of cards may fall on all of us.
It seems to be a hard to swallow (fact?) that our hands are always bloody. The fruits of our civilization may be the direct result of the enslavery of others and the dessimation of our planet (somewhere else). So I say these things, sitting at the laptop, sitting on my exercise ball after a couple of pints of grasshopper (I refuse to acknowledge the cold and switch to Trad). And feeling vaguely good because I patched the beloved ball instead of buying a new one... silly isn't it? But you are right, we are all apart of it. In fact, we may be 'it'. My indifference or small scope is shocking...
This business in Asia is crazy, apparently arbitrary and it sounds like you know people affected. Mother nature as they say. Perhaps there will be no more human created chaos when we all have friends everywhere...Perhaps despite all the loss of life, there is a small piece of hope. Perhaps an event like this will shake the consciousness of the powerful and all of the craziness of the neo-colonialists will be transcended. Perhaps an event like this could bring us toward a more truly global world where the suffering of those far away is recognized as our own suffering as well...
As Leonard Cohen once wrote, "there is a crack, a crack in everything. That's how the light get's in, that's how the light gets in..."
Maybe optimism and brewskies go hand in hand. :?

So the end of the world begins again...
who knew there were so many fucking idiotic Americans out there who want this sort of shit to continue? You cannot just put it down to ignorance (and Americans may be the most ignorant batch ever sneezed out) but to a wholeheartedly mean spirited misbelief that America is the Best country in the world and the "Thee shall be dominated by us! We are the best and will stop at nothing to maintain our domination over the worlds resources such that we can continue driving SUVs and if you can't get on board with the current version of the American Dream then Fuck You! Becasue we are doers and winner take all!"
Fuck these assholes!
Anyone else out there are depressed about the newest version of the New World Order?
