life on the line

it’s black friĀ­day + cyber monĀ­day and natĀ­uĀ­ralĀ­ly peoĀ­ple are excitĀ­ed for whatĀ­evĀ­er reaĀ­son to buy shit they don’t realĀ­ly need. the thirst for relĀ­eĀ­vanĀ­cy is parched in peoĀ­ple’s conĀ­sumerist souls. whereĀ­as they’re reduced to being litĀ­tle more than conĀ­stant lust for the fruits of mateĀ­riĀ­alĀ­ism.  which only increasĀ­es their conĀ­stant greed. don’t get me wrong here I’ve expeĀ­riĀ­enced it myself. at times I’ll be in midst of a project and sudĀ­denĀ­ly! quite sponĀ­taĀ­neousĀ­ly my inner voice be like those damned nunchucks of yours are getĀ­ting old. then I’ll self corĀ­rect because I have a hisĀ­toĀ­ry with these nunchucks. I actuĀ­alĀ­ly used them to kick the crap out of some punks once in ChicaĀ­go. or, perĀ­haps more incesĀ­santĀ­ly (and: insisĀ­tentĀ­ly) my voice says: that comĀ­putĀ­er is so damned old it’s time to donate it to one of your annoyĀ­ing relĀ­aĀ­tives and purĀ­chase a new one! but then I stop myself: self, I just bought this last month! Who do you take me for, an Apple cultist? (aka suckĀ­er, suckerĀ­butt). I bought myself a JapanĀ­ese noteĀ­book off of AmaĀ­zon yesĀ­terĀ­day. EconĀ­oĀ­my is stimĀ­uĀ­latĀ­ed I’m sure. With ā€¦

my secĀ­ond post here. the blank canĀ­vas lies before me, or the blank page if you’re a writer (like myself). it could be terĀ­riĀ­fyĀ­ing for some but that’s only because of pasĀ­sion, exciteĀ­ment, and advenĀ­ture. art isn’t hard, neiĀ­ther is writĀ­ing. we just make it thus. we want these oft addicĀ­tive hobĀ­bies to be more than they actuĀ­alĀ­ly are (or aren’t?). I have a unpopĀ­uĀ­lar opinion(s) yo: art isn’t love art isn’t life art isn’t reliĀ­gion art doesĀ­n’t solve probĀ­lems, but it can (it can make you $$) it can instill pasĀ­sion, but isn’t pasĀ­sion it can stimĀ­uĀ­late conĀ­verĀ­saĀ­tion, but isn’t conĀ­verĀ­saĀ­tion its easĀ­iĀ­er than some might think, and even easĀ­iĀ­er than what the mulĀ­tiĀ­tudes already do PicasĀ­so once said: he spent a lifeĀ­time to learn to creĀ­ate art as a child does read these books: the Art Life, Art & Fear, and the Artist’s Life. And in no parĀ­ticĀ­uĀ­lar order if you’re a human being, you are art. but this isn’t about art I just wantĀ­ed to plug this in. I’m thinkĀ­ing about what to write about nowaĀ­days. I have plenĀ­ty and I have none. despite what peoĀ­ple and ā€¦
