Rose: Why do men chase women? Johnny Cammareri: Well. The Bible story. God took a rib from Adam and made Eve. Now maybe men chase women to get the rib back. When God took the rib, he left a big hole there. (He points to his ribs.) A place where there used to be something. … Continue reading Not Moonstruck
Deep In Me
Deep: Freediving, Renegade Science And What The Ocean Tells Us About Ourselves, by James Nestor At first it was difficult for me to share the astonishment and shock James Nestor expresses upon his initialisation to the world of freediving. I've been a fan and admirer of it for years. Ever since I was a kid I … Continue reading Deep In Me
Where The Trains Run Late
Pic: what the visas used to look like. Just a bunch of heavy stickers and stamps in my passport. You know what happens after having stamps in your passport for twenty years and then they suddenly change to little ID cards that you have to carry around along side your passport? That's right. I lose … Continue reading Where The Trains Run Late
More Aussteiger Please
Word of the day: Aussteiger Give it a try. Yet heed this. It's important to note that an Aussteiger is someone who drops out. S/he is not a dropout. It was the first thing I noticed when I started working--for The Man. Large cubicle workspaces that were strategically placed so that you could see offices … Continue reading More Aussteiger Please
Questions Shouldn't Be Asked
Some call me the worst explainer ever. Go figure. But the reality is, I explain things. I especially explain things to Eurowastelanders. I guess it just bleeds out of me. You know, the fact that I'm not from--the place where I live and drink (too much). So far this inadequacy has served me well. In … Continue reading Questions Shouldn't Be Asked
Treaty Or Trade Agreement?
This post is NSFW due to some language issues I'm having. The art of the deal. Rule #1. Lie. Rule #2. Lie. Rule #3. You guessed it, dear worst-reader: make it so that the truth is what you say it is. Rule #4. Let there only be one side that sets the rules and that … Continue reading Treaty Or Trade Agreement?
Just Say No And Then Rename It To Make Billions
Anyone remember it? Nancy Reagan perched on her pedestal, a pedestal desired by so many (mothers) of ill-nations, telling her underlings: just say no. When thinking back to those days I can't help but wonder what was going on in the backrooms of pharmaceutical companies. I mean, they must have been laughing at Nancy Reagan and … Continue reading Just Say No And Then Rename It To Make Billions
That Southern Strategy Beast
There's no beating it, dear worst-reader. As Ferguson explodes (again) I can't help but think about Richard Nixon. Why? Nixon is, without doubt, one of the greatest politicians in #americant history. The reason for that is simple. Few presidents have left so much in their wake as Nixon. Obviously there are a few before him, … Continue reading That Southern Strategy Beast
Flop Analyzation
A confusing, profound and somewhat twisted story where the heart of the matter is lost. This story is the/a perfect metaphor for explaining the goings on of recent clown show. I'm worst-referring to the phenomenon that is The Donald. Indeed, dear worst-reader. The more and more I read about The Donald and his recent faux newz Q&A session … Continue reading Flop Analyzation
Send In The Clowns
Que song Send in the Clowns. Lights up on stage. Now have a laugh (and a cry). There you go, dear worst-reader. The scene and mood has been set. Clowns (funny) and sadness (republicans). Except for one thing. There is one thing I didn't laugh at while scanning the Interwebnets for a view of the … Continue reading Send In The Clowns
Best Letter to Nin?
"In the beginning was the word, but for the Word to come forth there had first to be a separation of some kind. To detach itself from the bosom of creation there had to be a need, a human need. The word is always the reminder of a more perfect state, of a union or … Continue reading Best Letter to Nin?
Road To Nowhere
German car consortium is buying Nokia's Mapping technology for three billion dollars. Wow. Amazing. Unbelievable. Now. Is it me? Am I missing something here, dear worst-reader? Why the F are Germans wasting their money on this krapp? Oh well. Even though they make stuff real well, it doesn't mean that they can innovate. Or is … Continue reading Road To Nowhere
The Farnsworth Dictation
Been too long, dear worst-reader. When was the last time I read a play? Back in the day, I used to read plays as fast as I could afford to get my hands on them. I love(d) reading plays. In fact, I preferred reading them to putting all that effort into watching them. But watch them … Continue reading The Farnsworth Dictation
Your New Best Comrade Friend
https://youtu.be/OewBDIwy-O4 There really is something to being worst-writer, the grand expatriate, viewing home (that I miss so much) from these thirty-thousand feet(s). Or as others may put it: I view my home from outside its bubble. Yet. It always pains me, even after all these years, to watch--from this view--my favourite place in the world go down … Continue reading Your New Best Comrade Friend
The Great Smoke Screen Of June
As the great conspiracy theorist worst-writer-ghandi said, and I'm pseudo-paraphrasing, "first they snark at you, then they flip you the bird, then they make lots of bad bathroom stall jokes about you and then... you lose". Or something like that. What a month June 2015 has been, eh worst-reader! I mean, what a month it's been for … Continue reading The Great Smoke Screen Of June
Explaining The URL
It was nineteen ninety-seven/eight (or around there). I was stinting (aka working, aka job jump #4) at a large ad-agency in D'dorf, Germany. I was hired as a consultant to help the business side of advertising learn something new. That new was called the information superhighway. It was also called the world-wide-web. Some even called it the internet. … Continue reading Explaining The URL
Flags And Creepiness
Some things just give me the creeps, dear worst-reader. Like, for example, thoughts of whether or not I should still be riding. I gave up motorcycling about ten years ago. Mostly because of finances but also because of, well, it was time. I'm proud to say that when I stopped riding bikes, my last bike wasn't a puss … Continue reading Flags And Creepiness
Channeling Their Sex: Bernie Sanders and Eurowasteland's Greece
https://youtu.be/YF4XJ9gs6Bo Can I join these two, dear worst-reader? Varoufakis and Bernie Sanders? One minute I’m watching the Greek finance minister (vid) slime up his (and his country's) parts, prepping it for penetration, and the next minute I’m reading about a “socialist” politician running for POTUS that might actually get a few votes if it weren’t for what he … Continue reading Channeling Their Sex: Bernie Sanders and Eurowasteland's Greece
Enough For Every American: A Bottle Of Pills
Guess what I heard this morn on the Noagendashow (#730) while walking The Pug? That's right. I heard more than an hour among three hours of two men, one being the gurlfriend, rant, rave and gesticulate about something akin to not having an "agenda". Which is what these guys do two days a week. Whatever that's supposed … Continue reading Enough For Every American: A Bottle Of Pills
His Honesty
"His honesty about this paradox or contradiction is what determined him to write Nineteen Eighty-Four as an admonitory parable or fantasy in which 'Ingsoc'--English Socialism--was the Newspeak term for the ruling ideology. It would have been perfectly easy for him to have avoided this crux. In the late 1940s, a dystopian novel based on the … Continue reading His Honesty
Cruel And Unusual Legal Banality
8th Amendment: Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. Notice, dear worst-reader, that there are three parts to the 8th amendment of the US Constitution. Is it any coincidence that two-thirds of the amendment is about money and one-third, potentially, about life? If you’re surprised at that … Continue reading Cruel And Unusual Legal Banality
The Language of Everything
Let's go there, shall we, worst-reader. There is a language that is spoken. There are gestures that are made. There are actions that are taken. And there are ways to wipe the ass so that it feels like it's being kissed. But all kidding aside. Knowing what's wrong with EVERYTHING isn't as hard as some … Continue reading The Language of Everything
Contradiction In Bigness And Failure
There is a theory floating in the ether, dear worst-reader. Yes, it is a worst-writer theory and it's about how/why the DotCom boom was systematically undermined in order to save the new world order. Actually, "new world order" is a misnomer. It should be called old world order. And from here on out that's what … Continue reading Contradiction In Bigness And Failure
TPP Stands For: It's Payback Time (Or Something Like That)
When asked if I like Barry Obama I rudely respond with a question. "Are you republican?" If they say, "No, I'm a Democrat," then I respond thus: He's ok, but I'm very disappointed. If they respond, "Yes, I'm a Republican," I respond thus: I love him. With that in mind, dear worst-reader, I'm disappointed in Barry-O because: He's from … Continue reading TPP Stands For: It's Payback Time (Or Something Like That)
Great Unknown Men
"The greatest men in the world have passed away unknown. The Buddhas and the Christs that we know are but second-rate heroes in comparison with the greatest men of whom the world knows nothing. Hundreds of these unknown heroes have lived in every country working silently. Silently they live and silently they pass away; and … Continue reading Great Unknown Men
