This American Life

I don't get it.
Why would anyone want to live an American life. It's just a land where everything is so fucking generic. The anti-conformists all conform to to look anti-conforming. Heck, me just saying that last sentence was hella cliche. It seems like nothing is new. No one wants to go beyond a box, or they believe they are when they aren't. And I hate how college is used as such fucking propaganda. Isn't is basically just a brainwashing machine? I mean, you need to go to Good College and you need to have Good Grades, and do all of these lame propagandist clubs to get in.
So fucking robotic.
The life of the American is this:
1. grow up in townsville, usa
2. go to a college, get piss drunk
3. live in the city for a bit
4. move to a nazi suburb where tweakers hold signs advertising homes divided by walls higher than the Great Wall of China.
5. lose all sense of culture you once had.
6. learn to love your corrupt government.
7. x_x

That is basically every American in the world. You go from being YOU, person of anything: a malleable soul. you could become anything: an artist, teacher, fireman, stripper, a drag queen, whatever it may be. But you are deficient in motivation: you settle for applying a white collar and being America.

What are you: YOU or America?

The Guerilla Poetics Project

Today I went and got the books I need for summer reading. As I was flipping through The Heart is a Lonely Hunter I came across this small green paper and on it was a poem called "Bring Me" by Adrian Manning.

a screaming bird
a burning horse
or a squealing pig
something to shock
the day into being
something to sharpen
the hours
bring me some steel
hone it for me
put it in my hand
something to slice
off the excess
bring me anything
searing heat
piercing cold
to shake
the vacuous
moment
bring it to me
but promise me this
when you leave
don't take it
away

I actually find it really good. On the back, it had an analysis of the poem and then it had a link to a website, www.guerillapoeticsproject.org. So when I got home I went there and there organization is amazing!

They get all these small known, really good poets and the create these little cards. Then the poets and "operatives" sneak them into books in libraries and bookstores all around the states and the UK. It's honestly one of the coolest things I've ever seen/heard of.

Haircuts

I love when my hair is not too short but not too long. It's like the best part of a relationship.


In other news I really want to move to Canada right now.

Lloyd, I'm Ready to be Heartbroken

I remember at the end of last summer when I was in Italy until school started, I would listen to this song a lot. It's funny how some events can make songs really sentimental to you. Even now that rush comes when I hear this song. To sum it up: it's perfect.

Was it a waste or did it all pay off?
