check out: www.scourtos.com (that's where videos and large art stuff that I did from 08'-10') Also, I have naturally straight hair.
damien hirst should not be feuding with teens
instead, he should remember why people liked him so much in the first place.
video games emulating the terrible part of life
best awful idea to rival the tomagatchi - a video game centered around trying to become morbidly obese - the end of the game is wildly anti-climactic as you can barely move by the time you reach your desired weight.
underused...
I want to see an ACLU ally where they are playing "we are underused" from a ghetto blaster.
I shouldn't have gotten so cocky about acing all those dilettante classes. yeah, they were HIGH marks, but where am I now?

yep
and here is the real problem with "investments" that aren't based on companies - like investments in art or real estate - great, but it's only worth what your gallerists or agents are willing to say it's worth. That's why gentrification works. That is why there are bubbles. I feel fucking terrible for the nuevo-riche, being tantalized into using art for way more than they should in the hopes that, over time in the market, it will make sense. That is why Hirst is a genius for making "For the love of God." I've learned a lot, but I can't make any money. I believe that my position is the worst of all possible worlds. Candide hates me. I hate me.
I want to hear the musical love child of ramos and fox
I bet it is WAAAY too funky for my taste, but I bet they'd play well together.
Marriage may be the castration of the american male, but it is also the indentured servitude of the ugly american woman.
truth...
Marriage may be the castration of the american male, but it is also the indentured servitude of the ugly american woman.
if the us wants to remain a sovereign state...
So I have been thinking about the insanely bloated rent in NY, among other inflated prices all over the economy, and I am thinking - if we price adjust while redistributing the wealth, that does kind of create more opportunities (I should say people, really) to hold onto and redirect currency, right? We would still all live in caste system relegated apartments, but since the guy in the penthouse doesn't have to pay as much, he can take the hit to his income and therefore when we give what we took from his income to someone with barely any at the moment, we are getting someone else into a lower priced housing situation. Is this so juvenile and obvious that it makes you nauseous to read? It means we lose some cache, but it keeps us from being prey to foreigners who CAN pay the bloated prices but have no real investment in U.S. economic well-being, right?
infinite discontinuity
infinite discontinuity : I wrote this "poem" two years ago when I was at WNYC for a month - unpaid. They didn't hire me. SIGH. I remembered this song though, nice.
non sequitor - best line in the big dipper is "he thought he'd have a beer, he thought he was alone. He thought an Albertson's stir-fry dinner could make his apartment a home.
decadent. art project
decadent art project that I would like to see - get a high rise when it's just put up and write "decadence" sort of pixelated using lit vs. non-lit windows. I would like to pass by that someday.
exercise balls double as great drum practice pads
I don't know why the synch is off here - something with the upload. I am not playing well enough for that to be anyone but me.
punk is a recession creator
punk is a recession creator. Punk could be the second coming of the middle ages. DIY is pre-division of labor. If the middle ages hits again - I'm screwed. I have no money, and no property on which to create my fief. The proletariat better have a plan bigger than their amps for how we are going to organize to keep ourselves from knight allegiances - which would be venues. there is a movie idea here, though I think that's a dying medium.
lawnmowers in space
it was a good morning, though I wish I were adequately employed enough that I were not living with my parents...
is apple killing the music industry
i think so and here is why - if I can just listen and play and record myself, I lose a lot reasons to want to see live music and that hurts artists. shit. but I love apple.
why warhol's brillo boxes make you feel smarter
cause if someone points out the fact that there are a million designers out there working, like "real" artists to make stacks of visually appealing things, they have just given intellectual metalanguage to something obvious, people want you to buy products, and you, the viewer and consumer, feel cleaner and smarter for knowing about it.
taking advertising to it's expected ends
Blackberry magic - a cell phone shot of an attractive partner about to fellate his/her partner with the genitals blurred out - just taking pornographic advertising to the next level.
g-mail, you never cease to amaze me.
seriously. best e-mail client I could imagine. except that I remember a time I could e-mail larger files sizes... I miss that time.
to aspire to inspire
oh, to aspire to inspire.
(what does that mean? nothing. Life is crude. food. sex. shelter. those are the basics and they distract you from working to secure them for yourself. that's a blue collar catch 22 of life.)
EXCEL to the music
how much do you want to bet that what ever path I am on ends with me "painting" in excel to my own pre-recorded toy piano and guitar music. f*ck.
"King Me" & "King Me Again"
It's a blatant rip off of "Super Size Me" but this time the chain is Burger King and so the preview becomes a cult classic while the film never takes off. This is followed by "King Me Again" where the protagonist undergoes a similar project at the chain Checkers while playing checkers.
on things that are awesome but kind of disgusting
blue cheese dressing on beet leaves, driving around for two hours listening to the maggot cause it is the only place that feels like home.
could someone please tell me
how the U.S. intends to advance without NASA? I am at a loss. so is the country.
The Phaedrus is very good
"To a sick man anything which does not resist him is pleasant, while anything which is stronger than he is or equal to him is hateful."
"Well then, this is the outcome of my whole account of madness - the madness of the man who, on seeing beauty here on earth, and being reminded of true beauty, becomes winged and, fluttering with eagerness to fly upwards but unable to leave the ground, looking upwards like a bird, and taking heed of the things below, causes him to be regarded as mad."
It is about what you WANT to do. NOT what you could do
and there are consequences. they are part of what you want, whether or not you want to acknowledge it.
Again, those who are in love consider the damage they did to their own interests because of their love and the services they have performed and, adding in the labor they have put in, they think they have long since given return enough to the objects of their love; whereas those not in love cannot allege neglect of their own interests because of it, nor reckon up their past labors, nor put blame on quarrels with their relatives.
I'm not in love, but I think I get the sentiment at the moment.
gross misuse of medical technology
I hear that hospitals have scanners that scan in miliseconds - use these with old style connect fax machine paper that is connected to itself so as to create a loop. scan in the pieces of an animation and project the outcome. the video is the speed at which a doctor can monitor your life. it could be a thing.
I hate him
glenn beck's own internet network. I bet this takes off.

getting into it. I really am.
getting "into" it. Here is the thing, you can hype yourself up, really I mean to say psych yourself up for things, but, ultimately, it's the things that capture you in resting position that you are really drawn to - they will always have their pull on you since, no matter how much of a "go getter" you might fancy yourself, you will inevitably want back into resting position, and those base wants will still be there, no matter how much you psyched yourself up for something else. I want to make clear that I see resting position, in this modern age of electronic media, as the thing I see as every educated person's dream: ample time to listen to podcasts, watch Colbert, and read the paper in tandem with historical accounts to fact check. Do I do this? Not nearly as often as I should, but I consider it my natural state because it is the free-est state a person of any class can partake in, it's in this state that you can really determine what you want and/or should be doing. I already wrote this speech. I need to spend more time in resting position to get some newer ideas.
up the down staircase
so the left door is to the "up" staircase and the right is "down"
^ that's the "barrier" - this seems fascist, no?

A state of affairs
A state of affairs is conceivable if no contradiction follows from the assumption that it exists.
I'm a robot
here is why rock musicians might be mean - yeah, we all feel that way but we don't have enough money to do that AND sex so excuse us if we choose 13 hour days and getting to sing along to our own amps and record collections. SERIOUSLY.
more southpark inspired...
why is it that it makes sense that laughter is a result of the unexpected but non-sequitors can make your blood boil?
inverse music nazi
I don't usually like to discuss race cause people get touchy - but I feel comfortable calling this "inverse music nazi"
being lucky that your mom loves you...
that is what I am at the moment. Back in the womb - pop balloons. sober. I still love everyone who isn't doing this, I just don't have the make - up for it. keep doing the good work. seriously.
On becoming the old weirdo eating the smelly lunch
it has been a long time coming... maybe it was always here...
why aren't I 5 and why aren't we playing band geography?!?

the start of the second middle ages
If we desecrate the currency so badly that money becomes bank issued notes, well, we're in the fife system alright. Talk about a marker for who was on what side before the fall. This could get ugly.
