Plans for the man

Monday, December 22nd, 2003

I’ve just been implicated in a plot to have a super fun next couple weeks. Tentatively, my plans are to go out to Long Island and see my family starting Wednesday after work. Theoretically, my brother and I will then be driving to Worcester, MA (our birthplace) to see my aunt, and to get a […]

Occult Ad Campaigns

Monday, December 22nd, 2003

If I were to run a Google Adwords campaign for myself, it would be very effective it seems. Cause most of the best keywords can be had for a super-low price of 5 cents a click. Here’s a sampling of the keywords I might use, along with their clicks per day, $ cost per day, […]

Jeepers Creepers, where’d you get those euphemisms?

Monday, December 22nd, 2003

This morning I suddenly realized that the phrase “Jeepers Creepers” is probably a euphemism for “Jesus Christ”. And it turns out that it really is. It’s to avoid taking the Lord’s name in vain (3rd Commandment), like, “Gosh darnit” instead of “God damn it”.

Hirsuit Man & Demonic Computer Games

Monday, December 22nd, 2003

I meant to write more today, but then my office got hijacked, and we were moved downstairs into a shitty windowless office with less privacy. And of course nobody asked us, and moved all our stuff while we weren’t around. Needless to say, I’m completely thrilled about this… and it has upset my ordinary blogging […]

R.D. Laing

Monday, December 22nd, 2003

Ronald Laing is somebody I’ve come across before who I’m very interested in. A page called Excerpts from “The Troubled Mind” offers:
“Because of such doubts, Ronald Laing, a Scottish psychiatrist, questions whether schizophrenia should be viewed as a disease at all in the ordinary sense. He feels that the schizophrenic experience may be quite […]

Quotes from Thomas Szasz

Monday, December 22nd, 2003

I don’t know who this is, but I like his quotes, Thomas Szasz. Some of my favorites:
“When a person can no longer laugh at himself, it is time for others to laugh at him.”
“People often say that this or that person has not yet found himself. But the self is not something that one […]

I tried going to sleep

Monday, December 22nd, 2003

I tried going to sleep. It didn’t work. Too many things swirling around inside my head. I’m still all fired up. I feel tired though. That’s the weird part. Now that I’m up again, I feel tired, that is. When I was laying there, squiggling around, I was anything but tired. I can’t even really […]

Running into my not-self

Monday, December 22nd, 2003

I was just imagining how it would feel if I were myself, but not-myself (like not all internet-savvy, etc) and then I accidentally happened upon my actual self (through some glitch in the Matrix, presumably), and what it would be like be for this self-but-not-myself, sitting here reading all this stuff that my actual-for-real-self had […]

Tooling around

Monday, December 22nd, 2003

I was just finishing up Tool’s Aenima, and came across some stuff in one of the inserts that I had never noticed before. It goes like this:
Timothy Leary identified a genetic type whose future circuits have begun to be activated and coined them FUTANTS. Futants are naturally selected to facilitate survival by being better adapted […]
