Postmodernism and the Freeplay of Words and Signifiers

One day things will look diferent, until then just keep your eyes closed

i do alot of day dreaming during the day. and some at night, dont let that confuse you. yes you can day dream even when it is night time. i think one thing i day dream about alot is what i can picture to be one of the coolest jobs in the world. and by coolest i mean simply, just the job that i would love to do and be well suited for, and would just be totally badass all around. Today i was thinking about being a lumberjack or a blacksmith. i dont know if most people see a the same romanticism in these jobs as i do. i love to work hard and to come home with every muscle aching. there is also a certain fascination i have with dangerous jobs.

the lumberjack. i know everyone has seen those lumberjack competitions on tv. big guys chopping wood, real fast, and climbing tress and whatnot. now how can you not think that is fun. i would love to swing an axe all day long. i think i have had a fascination with this since i was little because of my papaw Huffine, or for those not from the south, My grandfather. i always loved hearing stories about this man. i only knew him for a few years when i was a young child. and can barely remember what his voice sounded like, but i remember the long hikes he would take with me in the woods, and the many stories he told. i think my favorite story about him was told by my dad. He told me about my grandfather chopping down trees for a living. He would wake before the sun and swing his axe all day long clearing farm land, and road ways. he would finish the day by sharpening his axe and feeding animals.

i would love to be able to immulate in someway the manliness of my grandfather. watching a tree fall, and knowing that you chopped it down with your own hands is pretty cool. i do not think that i could do this job just because most of the clear cut forest clearing does not sit well with me. i love forests and i do not want them going anywhere.

Now on to the blacksmith. manipulating metal is cool. now manipulating metal with fire is even cooler. maybe i only like the idea of this job because i am a pyro maniac. not really. i do not get excited by fire. i am just sheerly amazed by its power. bending and shaping metal is cool. i have no cool story to tell about why i like blacksmiths. but man would i love to be one.

Well now that you guys know that useful information about me, let it sink in. do with it what you will and then discard of it. but please use the proper trash receptical. i do not want to see the garbage of my nonesense spilled all over the ground.

Here is an idea, maybe the first, probably the last

So with the rise of gas prices is everyone running out and buying hybrid vehicles. Well i would if for one i could afford it and two if i could never ever have to go to the gas station for more then gas or cigarettes. But with the rise of prices do you think that hybrids will be increasing in sales. if Hybrid sales increase do you then think that with less trips taken to the refuel station that gas prices will then sore even higher. This in turn making it near impossible for me to keep more then, maybe, a gallon in my tank at all times. If, and soon, when gas prices sore to 3 dollars a gallon i am going to have to forego my gas station coffee and donuts, but it will be hard to forego my cigarettes.

So who is with me lets destroy technology and move to a farm somewhere. I mean cult type shit here. i am sick of being bullied by the fact that i have to have a vehicle and i can not do my job without it. So In a round about way i am just sick and tired of having to pay to go anywhere. especially when working, even as much as i do, does not offset the ridiculous price of gas.

so that is my rant. take it or leave it. if you take it then you feel the same way as i do. if you leave it then i dont know what to think about you. you probably drive a H2 and have enough money to customize it with tvs and really nice uhpolstery, you know those things you really need in a vehicle. man i hate money. if i could i would burn all of mine and all of yours and flip off any one who tried to make me pay for anything. and if they insisted on a cash payment, then i would just kick them square in the nuts. and you know people like there nuts, especially guys. So watch out i am ranting and raving and if you see me at the gas station then i am probably pissed off, so dont try and talk to me because i will think you are part of the regime. So bye again for today.

doin it

Well i started a post and began boring myself. and if i bore myself then i know i am going to bore everyone else. So This is what you get. bye

just a happy wedding day post

this has been a wonderfully hectic last two days. i have loved every minute of it. it is probably the greatest thing to see my two best friends marrying each other. David and Mia are wonderful people and they are heading down the aisle today at 5. So keep their union in your prayers and may God give them an understanding of Himself, so that they can in turn understand and serve each other.

You better run like the bull

I think i live in a time warp. It seems like last year that i was running off to my first day of kindergarten. Where do the care free days go to. If there is some mystic land where they lay dying then that is where i want to be.

This weekend is going to be party time. David and Mia are getting married and the whole gang will be here to celebrate. excitment abounds.

This was just another borind rainy day post. I thought i would just bore whomever wanted to read. Have a nice day.

making and way and getting by

I have talked alot, recenty, about turning my life around and getting on my feet. In doing so there is a lot of change that has to be made. Every day i am noticing habits that i need to drop and things i need to do better. So the list has gotten pretty damn long, of things to modify in my life. But the cool thing is i am still young, i have a good job with much upward mobility. So, luckily i have a lot going for me these days. The biggest thing i am trying to do right now, is not complain about my situation. the more i complain the more bitter i get the more bitter i get the less i am able to accomplish. And accomplishment is what i am looking for.

I have been doing a lot of research about cyborgs recently. i have found out that there is absolutely no such thing as a good cyborg. While they might be able to accomplish things well, there is not an ounce of goodness in their bodies. The metal parts rust and get inside what little of a soul they have. And i use the word soul loosely, because people would jump all over my ass if i started saying that cyborgs dont have a soul. But get over yourself, they dont have a soul. They suck and they will destroy you. We must be united on the front against assimalation. They will take over if we give them a foot hold. So the next time a cyborgs asks you if he/she can shine your shoes or vacuum your floors, say "no". And say it emphatically. We can not have them running amuke, that would suck.

good stuff

First listen. I like it. This is sometimes a curse. I just got my hands on a copy of Owen's albun "No Good For no One". On the first listen i like it. And it came highlly recommended. so you should check it out. Go here to read about him on Polyvinyls website. here you go

Why could i not think of this

With all my knowledge of time machines and all you would think i was on the cutting edge. Apparently i am not. They are talking about cellular time machines. Regeneration of cells. Read more about it

Crazy huh?

just another day off blog post

Finally i have a day off. I have been working 60 + hours for the last two weeks. It has been stressfull, fun, and hard. But it is just the start to the spring and summer months. But hard work is a good thing. Moving from the slow winter to the fast summer is hard on the body. My feet and legs have never hurt more. But i am not complaining, or am i.

what in the world?

I have had about 20 searches in the last week for one image on my blog. And i have to give credit where credit is due. I did nothing except borrow this image from my genius copywriting friend David Littlejohn

Illinois loses it down low

i do not see how a team with no big guys could even possibly be number one all season long. I am no true basketball fan. I watch the finals, but i know basketball enough to know that if you can not rebound and you can not bring a large game down low that you are going to lose. north carolina just out played in the paint. they scored big points down low that forced illiinois to scramble for three point opportunities. But it was not raining threes at the end of the game. when i thought illinois was going to pull it out they over shot all their threes. i was rooting for them but they lost it for me. but i guess that is what i get, for not knowing what i was getting myself into.

Its times like these

The new week is upon us, and i am ready to take the bull by the horns. my life has been in a downward spiral for a while, but i am ready to take control back. Life has a way of throwing things at me so fast that i do not know how to sort threw them fast enough, then they just pile up. First thing is first, my money situation has got to get better. I do not know why i am sharing this on my blog. But i think there is something to letting things out in the public. So hopefully things in my life can begin to look up.

well i just wanted to put that out there. Have a lovely week everyone. and maybe i will post on some Robot shit soon.
