By default the mind is determined to find an external order with which it will meaningfully interact. Whenever I, whoever I am in relation to this mind, get small glimpses of the possible extent of the randomness and meaninglessness of the world and my ultimate isolation in it, it cripples me. I have to drag my mind and body through the world, pulling in pieces of the world, until some interesting pattern inspires the momentum that makes this movement effortless and self sustaining… I suspect that some people can continue to function while keeping this meaninglessness constantly present, but I don’t think I have met any of them. Have you? Is this the goal or the end of goals? I know that place with its absence of meaning exists in me, but for now I step carefully around it. When I stumble into it, I am never certain I will get back out again
An amazing comment posted by Mumblelard in response to this. (via mills)
it’s not a goal because herein there is no need for goals (q: what is the sound of one hand clapping? a: it is the sound of one hand clapping). practice divesting the mind of its tricks and it’s tabula rasa time all over again, WHEEEEEE!!!!!
Bob Log III - Six Stringer Kicker
The best one-man band that you’ve never heard of. And yes, that is a jet pilot helmet with a telephone receiver attached to the end of it. This one’s for you, Afghani.
This song’s about being in a one man band and driving around town eating ham from a can.
Personalized posts about canned ham make me horny.
Love it
while shopping at target tonight for snacks and apples to apples (which is AWESOME by the way and everyone who considers themself to be creative/smart/whatever should pick it up and start playing it at gatherings) and skip-bo my brother found this dope nightvision awesomeness in the kids’ toys section for $47.00us (1st gen. sensor, no DUH, but so what?!).
fuckin’ thing is AWESOME and i wish i had this when i was a kid; instead of putting a small piece of green paper over my eye to approximate (to others) night-vision capabilities.
sidenote: the supplimental-infrared-illumination leds are visible in this pic because the iphone’s cam is hella receptible to ‘em.
