music: The Primitives - Stop Killing Me
|
Don't get it... Recently I got a new cheapo strato-clone. Been
trying to eliminate a bit of fret buzz, and at the same time, lower the
action, somehow.
Well, anyhow, yesterday, I decided to take my old guitar completely
apart, and clean the hell out of it. I put it all back together, and
made a few adjustments... And...... Suddenly, I can lower the action on
THAT one to exactly where I want it. Nothing major changed, that
I know of, so, I'm at a loss to how it suddenly does what I want, after
being a pain in the ass for years.
If only I could figure out what's different, I'd try to do the same to the new guitar.. :|
It's so damned much easier to play with lower action. Feels like a completely different instrument. |

music: The Dust Brothers - This Is Your Life
|
And you open the door, and you step inside.
We're inside our hearts.
Now, imagine your pain as a white ball of healing light.
That's right...
your pain...
The pain itself...
Is a white ball of healing light...
I don't think so.
This is your life.
Good to the last drop.
Doesn't get any better than this.
This is your life.
And it's ending one minute at a time.
This isn't a seminar..
This isn't a weekend retreat...
Where you are now, you can't even imagine what the bottom will be like.
Only after disaster can we be resurected.
It's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything.
Nothing is static.
Everything is evolving.
Everything is falling apart.
This is your life.
It doesn't get any better than this...
This is your life.
And it's ending one minute at a time.
You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake.
You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else.
We are all a part of the same compost heap.
We are the all singing, all dancing, crap of the world.
You are not your bank account.
You are not the clothes you wear.
You are not the contents of your wallet.
You are not your bowel cancer.
You are not your grande latte.
You are not the car you drive!
YOU ARE NOT YOUR FUCKING KHAKIs!!!!
You have to give up.
You have to realize that someday you will die.
Until you know that..
YOU ARE USELESS...
I say, let me never be complete.
I say, may I never be content.
I say, deliver me from Swedish furniture.
I say, deliver me from clever art.
I say, deliver me from clear skin and perfect teeth.
I say, you have to give up.
I say, evolve... and let the chips fall where they may.
This is your life.
It doesn't get any better than this.
This is your life.
And it's ending one minute at a time.
You have to give up...

music: Alice Donut - Medication
|
"In 1968, a U.S. Public Health survey showed that 85% of the
population had one or more symptoms that we would call bad
first-circuit imprinting or conditioning. These symptoms
included dizzy spells, heart palpitations, wet palms and frequent
nightmares.
This means that 85 out of the next 100 people you meet
should be regarded as, more or less, "the Walking Wounded."
This is the first level of meaning in our brutal, cynical
proposition that most people are almost as mechanical as sci-fi
robots. A man or woman entering a new situation with the anxiety
chemicals of a frightened infant coursing through the brain
stem is not going to be able to observe, judge or decide anything
very accurately.
And this is why Gurdjieff said, in his own jargon, that people
are asleep and having nightmares.
"FAIRNESS? DECENCY? HOW CAN YOU EXPECT
FAIRNESS OR DECENCY ON A PLANET OF SLEEPING
PEOPLE?"
— G.I. Gurdjieff
This was the viewpoint of the earliest Christians, later condemned
as heretics (Gnostics) by the Roman bureaucrats. The
Gospel of Truth, first century, says bluntly that history is a
nightmare:
... as if (mankind) were sunk in sleep and found themselves in
disturbing dreams. Either (there is) a place to which they are
fleeing...or they are involved in striking blows, or they are
receiving blows themselves... sometimes it is as if people were
murdering them...or they themselves are killing their
neighbors...
To these first Christians, as to the Buddhists, awakening literally
meant coming out of this nightmare of terrifying fantasies.
In our terminology, it means correcting the editing that cause us
to behave and perceive like very badly (inappropriately) wired
robots and suddenly seeing the unedited world."
— Robert Anton Wilson - Prometheus Rising
I've talked about the age of Horus a lot over the years.
R. A. Wilson sums it all up nicely, though,
if with completely different terminology.
The world is full of infants who need to wake up.
Frank Herbert eluded to it in Dune, as well...
"The sleeper has awakened." etc..
Could you kill your own food? Could you kill someone to protect yourself?
Could you deal with the responsibility of having done so?
Violence is increasing in the world, not because people are ready to do violence.
But, because they don't see the responsibilty that comes with it(much like children). |

music: Me - Beating on the guitar
|
"From the very beginning when I used to hear those solos on those old records I used to say: now here is an instrument that is capable of spewing forth true obscenity, you know? If ever there's an obscene noise to be made on an instrument, it's going to come out of a guitar. On a saxophone you can play sleaze. On a bass you can play balls. But on a guitar you can be truly obscene ... Let's be realistic about this, the guitar can be the single most blasphemous device on the face of the earth. That's why I like it .... The disgusting stink of a too-loud electric guitar: now that's my idea of a good time."

Once again, someone who has me in their address book, is infected with a virus.
Not that I'm woried about getting infected, but it's pretty damned annoying. I'm on dialup, so downloading 15 messages with a 50k attachment each gets old fast.
C'mon people.... Get an anti-virus program. The fucking Norton/McAfee shit you got with your Dell/Compaq/Etc is not a fully functional program, that's a trial program, and only scans for viri that are pretty old at this point. And that "Chip-away" shit you see when you start up your computer is not an anti-virus program, goddamnit. That just checks the boot sector on your hard drive. There aren't many boot sector viri anymore.
Go download this,AVG Anti-Virus, install it, and keep it updated or I'll beat your ass. |

Well, I suppose you know you have an "interesting" book on your hands, when you find things like this in it.
"[Publisher's note: The intelligent reader need scarcely be told that the publisher abhors the author's views, and publishes them only for the reasons indicated in Felix Morrow's Foreword to this edition.]"
From the chapter notes at the end of the chapter "The Witch In Holy Writ", The History of Witchcraft, Montague Summers, University Books, 1973 edition.
At this point(almost done reading the book), if it weren't for the fact that the author died in 1948, I would be inclined to hunt him down and submit him to the types of "justified" tortures he seemed so fond of. |
