An Observation

essdogg:

Two days ago, a man with an amazing life story and an exceedingly generous and philanthropic spirit has the misfortune of dying on a Segway. The jokes fly.

Today, a comedian who made a point of telling people not to take him too seriously died of an apparently accidental overdose. In place of jokes, we get deep introspection.

I don’t wish to tell anybody how to grieve or insinuate that one life is more valuable than another. I just think it’s an interesting juxtaposition of reactions.

Apple Logo Is an Agnostic's Crucifix, Star of David: Study → fastcompany.com

THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE.

prostheticknowledge:

Duke University study finds brands and religion fulfill the same psychoemotional needs (via piratepickings)

… in a new study from Duke University, which concludes: “The brand name logo on a laptop or a shirt pocket may do the same thing for some people that a pendant of a crucifix or Star of David does for others.” In fact, the more religious a person is, the less brand expression appears to matter.

Researchers at Duke ran several experiments to determine this disconnection between brand importance and religiosity. In one, the team analyzed geographic areas for the number of Apple, Macy’s, and Gap stores per million people. These statistics were compared with brand-discount stores. “Then they compared these rough measures of brand reliance against the number of congregations per thousand and self-reported attendance in church or synagogue, controlling for income, education and urbanization differences,” the report says. “In every analysis, they found a negative relationship between brand reliance and religiosity.”

I’m not surprised about this, and I think there has always been a connection between religion and branding … most Christian holidays are rebranded pagan calendar celebrations (winter solstice = Christmas, Easter = a Christian reworking of a pagan cult resurrection festival)

On the way back to my room I was talking to my friend who doesn’t blog. Her not blogging is only important - since most of the population of the planet Earth doesn’t blog - in that she’s so involved with Internet feminism and Internet social justice agenda-sharing. She prefers a one-on-one format…

I think thats a really cool view to have. I have always appreciated letters for their intimacy but nothing have thought until recently has felt letter worthy. letters make my thoughts march through a poetry factory, and I like that.

I also appreciate articles and systems of publication and books because they are open letters that we all gossip about.

Watching a movie in the park and I miss what I’ve never had. Lying in the grass with my hair in my face, face down, fondling the ground, wishing someone would come up and wrap their arms around me. I haven’t masturbated in nearly forty-eight hours, which wouldn’t have been long before this summer. The world is a fruit right now, puncture-free and on the brink of pleasure.

This girl I’m sitting next to in the lounge is having the most heteronormative, sex-stereotype-enforcing Skype conversation she possibly ever could have. Her friend is all, “I need to protect my virginity because I’m talking to these dudes I met two days ago and one of them might be my future…

yo girl don’tchu ever be afraid to let your true thoughts shine. Girl gotta learn to be sex positive and shit.

Here's a fun thing to do.

Next time you are riding in a car tune out from the conversation and focus on the car. the expierance of being in it. you are riding in a car. How strange, I know, how did we get to here were we bounce around in boxes of metal? aren’t wheels strange things, all that rubber always stretching over the air of the situation. you are in a car. 

Assign the car and object and imagine how funny it would be to have an apple car, a lemon car, a shell car? what exactly does this car look like? Think of where this car is driven.

I get it now, I'm a grownup.

Imagine you are inside a peach pit.

feel the back of your teeth, think of wood. Do you feel the ridges, the way fat collects in them like darkness in trees? Think of a peach pit.

Imagine you are in a peach pit. Channel a lover you never got clousre with. Pop them in pop them out, imagine you are in a toaster, a poptart baking. Pop in, pop out.

I think I am going to make a zine.
