DATE WITH THE DESERT

Alright, yeah, so i only have one video up...pretty lame....huh! No, really I'm sorry I've been really really busy finishing a piece and getting another thru the first few phases. None the less, i'll get back to getting started when i return...or maybe a bit on my way...now, I'm off thru the southwest for a bit of Heizer, Turrell, some petroglyphs, The Chinati Foundation
and my own practice....then to Texas for a show at Artpace with one of my all time favorite people in the whole entire universe HILLS SNYDER!!! Okay....signing off......

FUCK NIKE...really, just do it!

Now here begs the question do you wanna be like nike or do you wanna be a MINOR THREAT..really then!!! You'd think Nike's all out assault of humanity thru abhorrent labor practices would satiate the multinational monolith! No, now they continue by ravaging original dissent with their commodification. Sure it's a, by now, age old practice, but how lame! It seems their multi-million dollar marketing team felt such a dearth in their own creative prowess that they lifted MINOR THREAT's Album ART rather than create their own faux transgressive imagery. This is not homage! I suppose someone said.....just do it....and so is written another chapter on the idiocy of corporate culture.

DISSENT

Amy Goodman's interview with Moyers was pretty good and seems apropos here in the realm of vlogging.

"I think we're at a moment in American history that is unique. I think we are in danger of losing our democracy because of the domination, the monopoly of power being exercised by the huge economic interests, both directly and indirectly. In public broadcasting we need to get back to the revolutionary spirit of dissent and courage that brought us into existence in the first place, and this country does, too." -Bill Moyers on Democracy NOW! with Amy Goodman

"The internet is the new Hyde Park." -Bill Moyers

Ok, here goes...my first actual vlog...short as it is...
Music: Magnetic Fields.

RADIO OFF




Off implies a state of non-operation for a particular device. One could argue that the opposite of off, in a variety of situations would be a resounding on. In other situations the distinction is not as obvious.

PRETTY VACANT

I'm rather shy and while I'm trying to begin this blog I'm finding it a bit difficult to get my head around.....but soon....
