Brilliance?

"What?" -- Richard M. Nixon

Ok, I changed my name and deleted my information because this is no longer "my" blog, its just like my fan web page for myself which I will hopefully use to post images of the poverty-stricken and working-class and life-lessons -- just joking of course! No, this blog is dead because its getting boring and I am never going to update shit if it becomes boring: that's why we have a new thing.




This is a really, really great video. please watch it if you can handle folk music circa 1966. Oh yeah, I mean, its not just the acoustic guitar and the old-timeyness -- its like, sometimes don't you wish you lived back then? Richard Farina is an obvious interest of mine since I posted the picture of his book which I've been glancing at lately, and why? Well, that's not important - wikipedia the man and his brief wondrous life if you want to. It started like this: you're opening up a massive orange book called Gravity's Rainbow and it says, For Richard Farina, and then you start to wonder, who could this man possibly be. It's just kind of interesting.

So, lately have been trying to read Knut hamsun, william james, finish absurdistan since some guy lent me a copy after I lost my copy in the office and then wandered around like a ghost handing out fliers with pictures of the book and asking everyone if they had seen it circa three months ago, and now have picked up where I was and I was a bit bored but I am now really enjoying it -- guess I just needed a break -- also, he makes so much fun of Oberlin kids, it is hilarious, talks about "Accidental College," which is also hilarious because I guess he's making fun of Occidental? whatever -- The ice-shirt by william vollman, and blood meridian, and some salinger stories about Seymour Glass. want to finish them to start something else, but start something else before I finish.

work is still a good time but honestly having a job sucks. I could be fired -- but do I want to be fired? No, i told myself: yes your office is making kickbacks and cuts and you as a recently hired employee are ripe to be cut down, but instead of fearing it I try to make myself hope for it -- it would make my life more interesting for sure, being thrown back on the streets, collecting unemployment, and hopefully, MAYBE, getting a job flipping burgers or something near my house and not have to travel a fucking hour to work every day. So that's where that is. As far as my articles go, they're becoming better, much better. It feels good to finally see yourself become better at something you try to do over and over isn't it? But its still not exactly a career - what a disgusting word.

Just watched the Celtics lose by a point to the lakers, was disgusted with the lame finale of Ray allen getting quasi-fouled. My foolish tool - toolish? - roommate tries to refuse to watch sports -- I would fight with him for the remote, but I barely have the energy, since I've been eating very little lately. Not to sound self-pitying, but we literally have almost no food and no money to buy any. I probably won't get a paycheck tomorrow on payday, according to office paranoia and office-gossip. But y'know, that's ok. intellectually I'm alive - and I wanted to go on a diet anyway. Cigarettes, drinking, not eating -- it's almost fun?

I think that's the end of this popst, it seems too long. I renamed myself Edevart after a character from "wayfarers" or landstrykere or if I put it on facebook as my favorite book it would look like this:
wa la
yf nd
ar st

and I want a better name, if someone has a suggestion. i want a name that will let people know that its me if I stalk them with comments, but won't tell any intermeddling authority figures or thought police who i am or how to find me - I guess Sam would work - how about, Sam [fake name]? like, literally, with the brackets. th...that doesn't make sense. I thought about some of my "joke" nicknames from high school that I made up: starfish sam and sam star were two of them, part of a homosexual version of myself that I would use in those old stand up comedy routines, kind of, no, not really. But people did call me that sometimes and it was to uproarious laughter by all. I will try to conceive of a new name after I clik "publish post"

I really need a new lightbulb for my room, this shit is so fucking dim

I'm trying to think of last pictures - I was about to post on some old classmates blog I just found, but you see that they'll just be like - who is edevart? (perhaps i should just keep the name).

OK, this one is good: joan Baez, mimi (baez) farina, pauline (baez) harden: girls go out with guys who say no [to the draft]
