Sans Terrabyte
Bathed in a dull blue light, the soft spinning of the hard drive does no longer registers to the screengazer. Like a marine and his weapon, or a Baptist with a bible, the screengazer and computer begin to resemble each other in kind; for the latter it is aesthetic, and the former, kinetic (the movement [...]
Re:Re: Anarchist Living
I invite you to reflect with me on symmetry. To be more specific, i invite you to think about a tonal-temporal-spacial-economic-politcal symmetry that has one side (there are usually, but not necessarily, two phenomena involved in symmetrical relationships) effacing itself and the other side premising itself on the existence of the relationship that is being [...]
Foppish Dandyism [CanonCanonCanonCanon]
Foppish Dandyism is going to be the next comprehensive youth trend. It is going to wash away hipsters, emos, goths, and jocks in a sea of frills, guffaws, port, prancing, and unflattering quatrains about the inordinately large waist sizes of other American youths. Call it Wandervogel or Post-Ultra-Romanticism, but either way prepare thyself. This guy [...]
DEVO Stands for De-evolution, and I Stand For The Death of Death. [Part 2]
Of what matter are the thoughts that arise in one’s mind as they survey the American landscape from within an automobile? The construction of a road promises uniformity in vision and thought, a line from known to known, from spot to spot, from life in America to death in the ground. The protest may be [...]
DEVO Stands for De-evolution, and I Stand For The Death of Death. [Part 1]
As soon as I thought of the following idea I told it to Gunnhild. She was not as impressed. I would later find out that the idea currently circling this text in a holding pattern is not all that impressive. (As an aside, I ask you, Q: what is more pleasurable than the construction/fulfillment/destruction of [...]
Atheism, Science, and Christianity.
Could you think of a more boring article? Yesh. Punchline: Judaism, in positing a sacred/profane duality at the heart of existence, created the space for atheism. It did not exist before that. It could not have. That is why you do not have ancient Taoists, Maoris, or Lakotas arguing over theism and atheism as such; [...]
Evil Eye/Video Unrelated
Talk of the “evil eye” dates as far back as Hesiod and has been included in the work of Plato, Tgheocritus, Aristophanes, Plutarch and Plithy the Elder. It is also found in Islamic and Talmudic sources, albeit in a more theologically sinister form. Talismans featuring the eye of fatima have been used by a number [...]
Old World Lies
The text you are reading now stands on the smoldering ruins of a previous article. These words are the bombed out clock-towers and mortared churches of that article, of what it said. I have kept the title “Old World Lies” as a signpost to what once was, which in actuality was never an “is”…I know [...]
Sans Terre: Dancing
Looking across the floor you make eye contact. You feel the music pulse. You shoulders dip, your hips sway, you nod your head- never breaking eye contact. Its a direct heart-to-eye-to-eye-to-heart transfer and you are powerless. He has you dancing. He has you dancing and you suddenly don’t give a shit that Derrick left the [...]
If You Are Not the Father Then I Am Not the Mother
Myne heart hath not the depth to contain this news. Myne soul, extinguished. Life to life, body to body, thou hath forsaken me in these regards; with leaf cleaved from from branch my saps spills. Not alabaster white, not crimson red, but midnight blue, black. Oil reflecting the night sky. Black on black on black [...]

Sans Terre: Weather Report
Hakim Bey is a counter-culture philosopher/ theorist who thinks the internet is a waste of time. In comparing the social movements of the late 60s to the social movements of today, he was lead to the conclusion that the youth waste most of their talents, time and energy bimbling around on the internet instead of [...]
