HI, I'M NORMAL.

Attachment vs. Apathy

Wed, 03 Apr 2013 10:48:03 -0400

Buddhism has taught me to be unattached to the things that make you suffer…and that’s always brought me peace until now…how do you unattach yourself from something that meant so much to you without not caring about anything at all?

“If there’s anyone out there who can look around this demented slaughterhouse of a world we live In and tell me that man is a noble creature, believe me, that man is full of bullshit.”

‘He was crazy about me. He had me in a tower suite at the Hotel Ansonia and he and his wife lived in the tower suite above. And I cheated on him, like he cheated on Billie Burke. I had a whirl! I blew a lot of everybody’s money, I got loaded, I was on the stuff, I got the syphilis, I tore around, stopped at nothing, if I wanted to do it I did it and didn’t give a damn. I got knocked up, I had abortions, I broke up homes, I gave fellers the clap. So that’s what happened.’

‘Well, Miss Lorraine,’ gasped the lady reporter, ‘if you had it to do over would you do anything different?’

‘Yes,’ said Lillian Lorraine. ‘I never shoulda cut my hair.’

Infested with Worry

Sun, 21 Oct 2012 19:07:25 -0400

An invasion of existential thoughts

Swarming in droves

Eating away at any concentration

Now left festering in my mind

This parasitic state of being…

This horde has driven me to abandon

Any hope of thriving focus,

Has defiled any trace of will to

Work

My stormy mind churns,

Moils in this torrential assault,

To cultivate

Work

No, not today

Today my mind is humming from this pestilence

From these feral existential worries

Teeming and heaving

Today, I am agitated

With everyone

And everywhere

And everything

Today, I am plagued

With being human

“Goldfish Catfish

“Goldfish of Rohan

“Goldfish OMG

“OMG Goldfish!”

Bat man silverine.

Rat man submarine

James Bond rocket blond

Math man candoline.

So come let it snow

In the nook of the hough

Candarin Mandarin.

Can can can.

Fox in the glove

Thicker than a dove

Let me sclouder up

A baked potato cup

OMG cat

Is where it’s at.

Ninja ninja on the wall,

Who’s the lastest of them all?

Three time’s the charm

Do me no harm

Blank like a Christmas

Shinging like mistlis

WATERMELON

Just kidding!

Mon, 20 Feb 2012 12:22:36 -0500

“

For the first twenty years of my career as a professional architect, I believed that architecture could only be accomplished by irony.

It could allude to treason.
It made it possible to create architecture as criticism.
It could admire the vulgar against the noble, the secular against the sacred, without shame.

It was an unfulfilled wish, a mourning for what was lost—
Hiroshima, holocaust
To bridge over the gap—
A style of wit, a sense of humor and paradox were adopted.

After twenty years of practical experience, I am now going to find a method to create architecture without irony.

”

- Arata Isozaki
