A random chunk of the universe

from "The Sirens of Titan" Kurt Vonnegut

Sun, 05 Oct 2008 19:07:35 GMT

The planet Mercury sings like a crystal goblet. It sings all the time.
    One side of Mercury faces the Sun. That side has always faced the Sun. That side is a sea of
white-hot. dust.
    The other side faces the nothingness of space eternal. That side has always faced the
nothingness of space eternal. That side is a forest of giant blue-white crystals, aching cold.
    It is the tension between the hot hemisphere of day-without-end and the cold hemisphere of
night-without-end that makes Mercury sing.
    Mercury has no atmosphere, so the song it sings is for the sense of touch.
    The song is a slow one. Mercury will hold a single note in the song for as long as an Earthling
millennium. There are those who think that the song was quick, wild, and brilliant once —
excruciatingly various. Possibly so.
    There are creatures in the deep caves of Mercury.
    The song their planet sings is important to them, for the creatures are nourished by vibrations.
They feed on mechanical energy.
    The creatures cling to the singing walls of their caves.
    In that way, they eat the song of Mercury.
    The caves of Mercury are cozily warm in their depths.
    The walls of the caves in their depths are phosphorescent. They give off a jonquil-yellow light.
    The creatures in the caves are translucent. When they cling to the walls, light from the
phosphorescent walls comes right through them. The yellow light from the walls, however, is
turned, when passed through the bodies of the creatures, to a vivid aquamarine.
    The creatures in the caves look very much like small and spineless kites. They are diamond-
shaped, a foot high and eight inches wide when fully mature.
    They have no more thickness than the skin of a toy balloon.
    Each creature has four feeble suction cups — one at each of its corners. These cups enable it
to creep, something like a measuring worm, and to cling, and to feel out the places where the
song of Mercury is best.
    Having found a place that promises a good meal, the creatures lay themselves against the wall
like wet wallpaper.
    There is no need for a circulatory system in the creatures. They are so thin that life-giving
vibrations can make all their cells tingle without intermediaries.
    The creatures do not excrete.
    The creatures reproduce by flaking. The young, when shed by a parent, axe indistinguishable
from dandruff.
    There is only one sex.     Every creature simply sheds flakes of his own kind, and his own kind is like everybody else's
kind.
    There is no childhood as such. Flakes begin flaking three Earthling hours after they
themselves have been shed.
    They do not reach maturity, then deteriorate and die. They reach maturity and stay in full
bloom, so to speak, for as long as Mercury cares to sing.
    There is no way in which one creature can harm another, and no motive for one's harming
another.
    Hunger, envy, ambition, fear, indignation, religion, and sexual lust are irrelevant and
unknown.
    The creatures have only one sense: touch.
    They have weak powers of telepathy. The messages they are capable of transmitting and
receiving are almost as monotonous as the song of Mercury. They have only two possible
messages. The first is an automatic response to the second, and the second is an automatic
response to the first.
    The first is, "Here I am, here I am, here I am."
    The second is, "So glad you are, so glad you are, so glad you are."
    There is one last characteristic of the creatures that has not been explained on utilitarian
grounds: the creatures seem to like to arrange themselves in striking patterns on the
phosphorescent walls.
    Though blind and indifferent to anyone's watching, they often arrange themselves so as to
present a regular and dazzling pattern of jonquil-yellow and vivid aquamarine diamonds. The
yellow comes from the bare cave walls. The aquamarine is the light of the walls filtered through
the bodies of the creatures.
    Because of their love for music and their willingness to deploy themselves in the service of
beauty, the creatures are given a lovely name by Earthlings.
    They are called harmoniums.

Deep Thoughts (by Jack Handey)

If you ever drop your keys into a river of molten lava, let'em go,
because, man, they're gone.
==========
If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them
down?  We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.
==========
To me, it's a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when
you walk around.  That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a
hand?"  You can say, "Sorry, got these sacks."
==========
One thing kids like is to be tricked.  For instance, I was going
to take my nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old
burned-out warehouse. "Oh no," I said, "Disneyland burned down."

He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a
pretty good joke.  I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but
decided to go home instead.
==========
The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face.
==========
If you lived in the Dark Ages and you were a catapult operator, I
bet the most common question people would ask is, "Can't you make it
shoot farther?"  "No, I'm sorry.  That's as far as it shoots."
==========
Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo,
flying across in front of a beautiful sunset?  And he's carrying a
beautiful rose in his beak, and also he's carrying a very beautiful
painting with his feet.  And also, you're drunk.
==========
I believe in making the world safe for our children, but not our
children's children, because I don't think children should be having sex.
==========
If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell
him is, "God is crying."  And if he asks why God is crying, another cute
thing to tell him is, "Probably because of something you did."
==========
If you ever catch on fire, try to avoid seeing yourself in the
mirror, because I bet that's what REALLY throws you into a panic.
==========
Whenever I see an old lady slip and fall on a wet sidewalk, my first
instinct is to laugh.  But then I think, what if I was an ant and she
fell on me.  Then it wouldn't seem quite so funny.
==========
To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no
choreography and the dancers hit each other.
==========
I hope if dogs ever take over the world and they choose a king, they
don't just go by size, because I bet there are some Chihuahuas with
some good ideas.
==========
If life deals you lemons, why not go kill someone with the lemons
(maybe by shoving them down his throat).
==========
Instead of having "answers" on a math test, they should just call
them "impressions," and if you got a different "impression," so what,
can't we all be brothers?
==========
Probably the earliest fly swatters were nothing more than some sort
of striking surface attached to the end of a long stick.
==========
I wish I would have a real tragic love affair and get so bummed out
that I'd just quit my job and become a bum for a few years, because
I was thinking about doing that anyway.
==========
I think a good gift for the President would be a chocolate revolver.
And since he's so busy, you'd probably have to run up to him real
quick and hand it to him.
==========
Maybe in order to understand mankind we have to look at that word
itself. MANKIND.  Basically, it's made up of two separate words "mank" and
"ind." What do these words mean?  It's a mystery and so is mankind.
==========
If you go flying back through time and you see somebody else flying
forward into the future, it's probably best to avoid eye contact.
==========
It's easy to sit there and say you'd like to have more money.  And I
guess that's what I like about it.  It's easy.  Just sitting there,
rocking back and forth, wanting that money.
==========
If you ever reach total enlightenment while you're drinking a beer,
I bet it makes beer shoot out your nose.
==========
To me, clowns aren't funny.  In fact, they're kinda scary.  I've
wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I
went to the circus and a clown killed my dad.
==========
As the light changed from red to green to yellow and back to red
again, I sat there thinking about life.  Was it nothing more than a
bunch of honking and yelling?  Sometimes it seemed that way.
==========
I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate.
And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.
==========
I hope some animal never bores a hole in my head and lays its eggs in
my brain, because later you might think you're having a good idea but
it's just eggs hatching.
==========
Whenever you read a good book, it's like the author is right there,
in the room talking to you, which is why I don't like to read good books.
==========
What is it about a beautiful sunny afternoon, with the birds singing
and the wind rustling through the leaves, that makes you want to get
drunk? And after you're real drunk, maybe go down to the public park
and stagger  around and ask people for money, and then lay down and go
to sleep.
==========
Instead of a trap door, what about a trap window?  The guy looks out
it, and if he leans too far, he falls out.  Wait.  I guess that's like
a regular window.
==========
During the Middle Ages, probably one of the biggest mistakes was not
putting on your armor because you were "just going down to the corner."
==========
If I ever get real rich, I hope I'm not real mean to poor people, like
I am now.
==========
When I found the skull in the woods, the first thing I did was call
the police. But then I got curious about it.  I picked it up, and
started wondering who this person was, and why he had deer horns.
==========
I remember how my great-uncle Jerry would sit on the porch and
whittle all day long.  Once he whittled me a toy boat out of a larger
toy boat I had.  It was almost as good as the first one, except now it had
bumpy whittle marks all over it.  And no paint, because he had whittled
off the paint.
==========
Here's a good thing to do if you go to a party and you don't know
anybody:  First take out the garbage.  Then go around and collect any
extra garbage  that people might have, like a crumpled napkin, and
take that out too.  Pretty soon people will want to meet the busy
garbage guy.
==========
Sometimes I think you have to march right in and demand your rights,
even if you don't know what your rights are, or who the person is you're
talking to. Then on the way out, slam the door.
==========
If you're a cowboy and you're dragging a guy behind your horse, I bet
it would really make you mad if you looked back and the guy was reading
a magazine.
==========
If your friend is already dead, and being eaten by vultures, I think
it's okay to feed some bits of your friend to one of the vultures, to
teach him to do some tricks.  But only if you're serious about adopting
the vulture.
==========
Broken promises don't upset me.  I just think, why did they believe me?
==========
If you ever crawl inside an old hollow log and go to sleep, and while
you're in there some guys come and seal up both ends and then put it on
a truck and take it to another city, boy, I don't know what to tell you.
==========
One thing vampire children have to be taught early on is, don't run
with a wooden stake.
==========
If you go to a costume party at your boss's house, wouldn't you think
a good costume would be to dress up like the boss's wife?  Trust me,
it's not.
==========
Most of the time it was probably real bad being stuck down in a
dungeon. But some days, when there was a bad storm outside, you'd look
out your little window and think, "Boy, I'm glad I'm not out in that."
==========
Consider the daffodil.  And while you're doing that, I'll be over
here, looking through your stuff.
==========
For mad scientists who keep brains in jars, here's a tip: why not add
a slice of lemon to each jar, for freshness?

Bridger National forest in Wyoming is beautiful
The rainbow gathering there is also incredibly beautiful
The United States Forest Service employs incredibly insecure, gun-ho nazis for some reason
-perhaps because they're too fucked up to get in as real cops, they get jobs there?
Rock Springs, Wyoming has many kind people, but is largely populated by insane tweaker assholes
Fort Collins, Colorado is actually a really really cool place. lots of culture and kind smileys.
Colorado is the kind of place I could live in and be happy.

Of the states that I've been in (most) here's a list of those that the general goodness outweighs the badness and makes it okay to exist:

Colorado, California, Oregon, Washington

I like new hampshire in general too, but don't know it well enough
and I hear Vermont is awesome (they even issued warrants for G.W.Bush's arrest)
... i've never been to Vermont :/

National Call-In Day for Impeachment

The crimes of this administration are enormous: a widespread policy of torture and murder; a war that has killed a million Iraqis, 4,000 U.S. service members and devastated the lives of so many more; sophisticated programs for spying on U.S. citizens; lying to the public.

The future threats posed are ominous. As Ramsey Clark recently wrote: "In his remaining eight months, President Bush will continue to threaten other nations in violation of international law and clearly intends to commit new aggressions in his belligerent presidency. If not stopped by impeachment he may strike Iran's nuclear projects and immerse the United States in avoidable war for a generation far more exhausting than any we have known."

Today, Tuesday June 3, is the National Call-In Day for Impeachment. Take a moment right now and call Rep. John Conyers, Chair of the House Judiciary Committee at 202-225-5126, 202-224-3121, 202-225-3951, 313-961-5670, or 734-675-4084. Demand that articles of impeachment be introduced by July 4.

Over one million people have voted to impeach Bush, Cheney and other high officials for high crimes and misdemeanors. It's time for Congressman Conyers to hear from you.

Make a donation today to support the impeachment movement by clicking here.

As Ramsey Clark wrote: "It is imperative that We, the People of the United States, demand of the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives and its Chairman John Conyers that they immediately commence consideration of the many allegations of impeachable offenses by President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and other civil Officers of the Untied States and present a comprehensive Bill of Impeachment for Committee consideration by July 4, 2008.

"I ask every American who cares about the integrity of our government and the welfare of our People and those we assault to immediately demand Chairman John Conyers and the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives commence hearings on a Bill of Impeachment of President Bush, Vice President Cheney and others by July 4, 2008."

When you've made your call, please take a moment to encourage even just one friend to join with you and more than a million other Americans, and sign the referendum to Impeach Bush by going to our homepage: ImpeachBush.org. We will not rest until Bush and his cabal have been held accountable for war crimes, crimes against humanity and mass deprivation of civil rights and civil liberties. This is an unstoppable movement for justice.

Make your call now! This movement is making a difference. To support this campaign and the important work of the impeachment movement, please click this link and make an urgently needed donation.

Al Gore: New thinking on the climate crisis

Thu, 10 Apr 2008 07:40:00 GMT

"In Al Gore's brand-new slideshow, he presents evidence that the pace of climate change may be even worse than scientists were recently predicting, and challenges us to act with a sense of "generational mission" -- the kind of feeling that brought forth the civil rights movement -- to set it right."

The Golden Horseshell

Wed, 26 Mar 2008 07:21:56 GMT

The seahorse Blatamule set out to gather food on another sunny Caribbean day.
The day in question was sunny, but not ordinary.
Blatamule found that every time he swam towards in the general direction of the smell of food he would generally find it.
Thus, was the strategy noble Blatamule was employing on this fateful day.
The day was August 14, The Year of our Lord Jesus Christ 1983.
Blatamule was investigating a patch of seaweed when he noticed something glimmering at ocean beneath him.
Through the wavering seaweed it glinted like a metallic eye.
It was yellow.
Blatamule hastily shook the weeds from himself and darted to the sandy floor.
There he found a golden ring just big enough to fit around himself.
He imagined himself and Blatamule! The Seahorse with the Golden Horseshell!
Totally in love with the idea he put on the ring and swam up quickly to display himself to the surrounding horses.
He was promptly eaten by a fish and shit out along with the golden horseshell that fell back to the sandy floor, just like the other seahorses before him.

~~THE END~~

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 05:53:13 GMT

this one time i was walking down a street. actually the street moved beneath me and i stepped forward on the street in order to stay in the same location and after continuing for a few blocks in this manner i eventually found myself in the district of unborn souls. a sect of a town devoted to those that have yet to experience a self awareness to the extent where they concern themselves more with apparition and consider themselves and otherselves worth my the $ owned to be inherited by them..... all without really considering thier _self_. anyways on this block was a man with no teeth, no hair, he had a sign, no clothes skin or skeleton... or eyes or flesh or muscle, he was holding a sign, with no hands, that wasn't there and said, "nothing"....

thank you for reading that, btw

Tue, 11 Mar 2008 07:10:03 GMT

since they're playing white stripes
friday:
Drank a guiness in "needles" park w/wacko, brett, travis, arianna + justin
went to mexican restaurant
went to elsie's bar, saw this african guy sing this sick african birthday song to this girl he didn't know... it was all loud and passionate and shit, i wish i could do that
i went to see citizen mccaw, i got photographed in line and it's on the web or some mag or something... and then i sat with the VIP's
slept in elwood acres
sat: played guitar on the beach watching people surf with parachutes... also sick
walked down the ocean (low tide) and picked up sea shells for Luna
ran into friends at the free box in IV and drank with the homebums on the beach couch
...the homebums basically had no idea how to fucking cook on a fire, like you don't throw a pretzel onto foot-high flames and watch them light on fire and then call them "toasted"... or sear chicken till it's black and then pour frozen vegetables on top of that and watch them fall through the grate and die
...
went up to the free punk show with free beer
got drunk on free beer
slammed in the slam dance
party was on a cliff by the ocean, sick
consoled a drunk girl in the bathroom cause she broke her toe because a mosher (maybe me?) pushed someone into someone that caused this girl with a high heel to step right on her toe (p.s. don't wear high heels at concerts) hanging out in a bathroom at a party is cool cause people just start comming in and peeing in front of you and it's this surreal super bright room with mirrors and it's just like some other dimension
a philosopher concluded i was cool, smart, and not a sociopath because when he asked me where i was from i said everyone keeps asking me that and i didn't have a good answer and he then changed his question to "what's the most important thing in life" and i said "quality"
i'm too big for a mosh pit so i figured out i just have to mosh really softly and then it's about like everyone else moshing hard
i figured out that i still love the punk rockers
<3
and the punks love hippies
ummm...
yeah and citizen mccaw is an important film. it's important that you get your eyes on it when you can

random encounter

Thu, 06 Mar 2008 07:12:05 GMT

super beautiful crying damsel-in-distress encounter
wow

i'm sitting in the dark alley behind the library and this totally beautiful girl comes up

she's upset because the bouncer at the club spotted her fake id and called the cops
so she came here to hide.
i helped her with my cell phone to get her friend to her and well it wasn't that dramatic
she was just drunk and crying at some points
but, i let her use my hoodie while we waited for her friend and now it smells like her perfume
her name was kellie

she was too drunk for me too have any profound conversation with her
and too upset... i listened to her story though

but, she hugged me a several times because i'm so nice and reassuring...
and looked at me with that "you're my hero" look that i enjoy receiving from time to time
incidentally i started out with 333 minutes left on my phone... a number i enjoy

god i love santa barbara, you can't mind your own business without having some interesting encounter with interesting people
i can feel my mojo growing here... i'm starting to root in or something because it just happens more and more every day

i guess rich beautiful girls never have to worry about developing problem solving skills, they can just ask the random dude and he'll figure everything out for them

....and we're happy to help

also i found this website:
http://vanishingpoint.ca/

it's about exploring abandoned tunnels and stuff... something i love to do, personally
