Night of the Gun


Personal narrative is not simply opening up a vein
and letting the blood flow toward anyone willing to stare.
The historical self is created to keep dissonance at bay
and render the subject palatable in the present.

Benjamin Barber


"Capitalism has put democracy in trouble.
Because capitalism has tried to persuade us
that being a private consumer is enough.
That a citizen is nothing more than a consumer.
That voting means spending your dollars spreading
around your private prejudices, your private preferences.
Not reaching public judgments.
Not finding common ground.
Not making decisions about the social consequences of
private judgments, but just making the private judgments.
And letting it fall where it will."

A. Schiller



Convicted forger A. Schiller was serving time in Sing Sing prison
in the late 1800s when guards found him dead in his cell.

On his body they found seven regular straight pins whose heads
measured the typical 47/1000ths of an inch or 1.17 millimeters
in diameter. Under 500 magnification it was found that the tiny
etchings seen on the heads of the pins were the words to The
Lord's Prayer, which is 65 words and 254 letters long.

Of the seven pins, six were silver and one was gold - the gold pin's
prayer was flawless and a true masterpiece. Schiller had spent the
last 25 years of his life creating the pins, using a tool too small to
be seen by the naked eye. It is estimated that it took 1,863 separate
carving strokes to make it. Schiller went blind because of his artwork.

today in history...

Jul 4 1054

A supernova suddenly appears in the constellation Taurus.
It is so bright that for the first 23 days it is visible during the day.
Then it gradually fades away, finally disappearing after a year or so.
Today the remnants of this star are the Crab Nebula.

The Secret News (George Carlin)


All people are afraid.
No one knows what they’re doing.
Everything is getting worse.
Some people deserve to die.
Your money is worthless.
No one is properly dressed.
At least one of your children will disappoint you.
The system is rigged.
Your house will never be completely clean.
All teachers are incompetent.
There are people who really dislike you.
Nothing is as good as it seems.
Things don’t last.
No one is paying attention.
The country is dying.
God doesn’t care.
Ssshhh.

Yves Klein


"Now I want to go beyond art - beyond sensibility - beyond
life. I want to enter the void. My life should be like my
symphony of 1949, a continuous note, liberated from beginning
and end, bounded and at the same time eternal, because it has
neither beginning nore end...I want to die, and want people to
say of me: He has lived, therefore he lives."

Blaise Pascal


Our senses can grasp nothing that is extreme:
too much noise deafens us; too much light
blinds us; too far or too near prevents us seeing;
too long or too short is beyond understanding;
too much truth stuns us.


Blaise Pascal, 1670

Great Gatsby


"They were careless people...they smashed up things
and creatures and then retreated back into their money
or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept
them together, and let other people clean up the mess
they had made...."
