stuck in a rut of perpetual ridiculousness,....
have you been watching days of (2) gladiator competitions??
well, i have,.this passion on display like conductors & language & white poles of porcelain denial-
did you see that Brazilian lion deny a Portuguese cheetah?
have you forgotten my tale of days of yore?

what are your writings, thoughts, words, readings, stories or correspondence shaping up like today? have i convinced you of our little secret yet?
if you find your auto stuck in a ditch, what do you do that you can't translate into human emotions? if you're not stuck in a little retention ditch at one point or another - of what do you strive for? are you simply a walking boob? (kook)
have all your strings already been tied up for you by - hhmm, what do the young, modern folks call it these days,...?
a sugar daddy?
well from my (pirate) understanding & sensibilities, what becomes when your stinky, worthless, rotten tooth falls out? who then to hoist your ships glorious mast into an easterly wind? have you not now deemed yourself a total enduring clown?
& abide with me here for only a second longer: those ceaseless tides will remain! - able to asphyxiate like a bed side pillow over an unsuspecting housewife after certain external affairs - & you'll be pounded on the shore - your remains scattered like debris from an epic battle of the wills - like thousands of broken shells to pierce unsuspecting feet - won't you then be relegated to your fates, (?) that of a single water-logged plank, partially in flames from a ragging battle, floating aimlessly in the salty sea of regret,...
these thoughts shared are only a few of the many things that you could possibly contemplate on a rainy day with quite possibly an album of music on as accompaniment as your backdrop.

babbling inanely,
an orangutan reaches climax
towards the front of the room.
jelly legs ramshackle shake
as nervous beats,
intact,
loom.
a rush of anxiety
bucket loads
& barrels like a
freight train in zoom
a watchful gathering,
peerless & alert
means certain doom.
delirious quips from
an overweight ponce
mad men drape
sweater vests with
blackberry thoughts
stuffy neck ties &
algorithm's lost
translate
timid glances from
million dollar robots
the individual exposed-
longing for a specific niche
rat-a-tat rhythm
lingers,
like a niggling itch.

when are you people going to listen to me,.?

well that, & i made a fairly good film-
i guess it's safe to say that Manchester
had a pretty good weekend - Even City
got a result against Liverpool. It's
like the blue side of Manchester (bad)
helped the red side of Manchester (good)
beat the red side of Liverpool (ugly).
See football can easily be fun with colors!
oh Manchester! when will I see you?
Even if it's to breath in your rubbish
heaps - I'd consider that a privilege.
I know, I just know my parents are
lying to me - I am a true Mancunian.
I wasn't born in Richmond, KY. there's
just no romance in that. Won't you all
join me?
Oh & before i go,..& I know I've been talking
about football a lot recently but United have
easily their biggest game of the year so far when
the Champions League resumes on Tuesday at
the San Siro in Milan v Inter. Can we all please
send out some good, safe, warm, chocolate chip
cookie vibes to them? Like come on lads, this is
your title to defend. This will be the 1st
of a 2 leg rd. of 16 clash - so we at least need an
away goal - a score draw wouldn't necessarily be
that bad - but Rooney is back & looks to be in
incredible form & did you see that Ronaldo free
kick on the weekend?
But you see how I just go on & on & on. But just
remember, 2:30 eastern on Tuesday OK?

found this folded up neatly -
4 exact & acute perimeters
in a pair of 1977 jeans-
i was 30 then - I'm 24 now-
caught somewhere in between-
like Henry-like the bomb-
squalid-atomic swamp screw
with nymph from across the hall-
was it:
a trick?
a journey?
an experiment?
a significant inception-
a construction of singular ideas
to end in despair-
to "father in" ideas to big to contemplate-
to risk assessment of heaven's perfection-

Oi Vey,,..(I try, no, I strive to be as completely obsurd as humanly possible - it's my purpose) (the roundup)
in French & Japanese film news today,..the legendary 1949 Carol Reed film noir claddic, the 3rd man (starring Yusef Cotten & Orson is Welles) will be made intoa french language Japanese anime featuring subliminal messages provided by the Dutch lager giant Heineken - abruptly unveiling their new purple bottle marketing campaign - commercials promoting the new color scheme have recently been seen on Dutch TV accompanied by the 1979 Morris Day-Night vehicle, Purple is the new Green - (all previous versions of the film will become null & void)
it is said that C.O.O. Mr. Rory P. Heiny was a big fan of the late Heath Ledger's stark & disturbing performance as The Joker (dutch translation: the one who jokes) in 2008's The Dark Knight - & that Heiny was hoping to sway Academy voters to consider Ledger's performance as a candidate for Best Supporting Actor in this weekend's award show. Thus the reason for the color purple. (It'll take at least 2 weeks for news of the results to travel across the Atlantic to Holland)
in other news -
I want to walk around with you
it makes me crazy, but i can't say no -
like certain shadows.

look what was recovered,..
She spends her time with me
She opens my eyes to see
She heals the wounds I possess
She prepares, serves & cleans my mess
She provides me with physical satisfaction
She exemplifies a beautiful attraction
She loves me to no end, I know
She waits & yearns for me, I hope.
'eehh, clean house, make calls, have a wank, watch soaps, but stay warm,..(some more things I didn't write)
"Can you see in the dark?
Can you see the look on your face?
The flashing white light's been turned off
You don't know who's in your bed
It takes more than f**king someone you don't know
To keep warm,...
......but you won't find love in a,
Won't find love in a hole
It takes more than f**king someone
To keep yourself warm".
I say, I say,...

different tunes for different moods,.(got ta'thinking)
print, pass & distribute this quality-approved list of night time Sunday sensational sounds straight from the heart of insidious dream scopes -
Ladies & Gentleman, (when to hide away) like: the loneliest violin in all the land! - (ahh, doesn't that just breath eternal sadness, but hope?)
a sad, dopey trip down laudanum ln. or,.......crass shantytown - (be sure to have your part memorized)
-but are you thinking in terms of music or literature? a quandary:
do the writers you like study (the) poets? the beats? the mishaps? the thinkers?
or
are they simply the luckiest dreamers? (night-time moon sensation - dark fields of grape veins, I awoke naked, etc., etc., it's all inclusive)
in other words,..are they quick to the pen?
but back to this lonely violin - & I suppose it's meaningful ambition. try to determine a function, where to end, destination. what can trump that collision of aspiration & conclusion? drift, drift, drift & then BANG!....
proposal,..
acceptance
(ulterior motive?)
then
mecca.
on a cloud or on a Mtn. the act of fulfillment - in your chest, to suck in air & to some of you: I can see your ship from here, your savagery, your villainy, your virulent depiction - you're like the accompanying piano to my lonely violin - sly like fox abilities - in your perception - sneaky bugger up on a friend who's vulnerable to alone - solo artist to the heavens - & the single memory of it's existence is to just spell one sad, long, dopey run of notes - combined together to reach attainable ears of harmless listeners -
(& my advantageous light when you can't see my eyes - leverage)
to suppose sabotage in the end,..
to shed light - to see things in a different light - try this acute angle - & when you hoist your sails & hear that violin & i can plain as day see your mast blowing in the wind & then we'll both know that you've spotted your viewable purpose on the sea.

i missed my own 1 yr anniversary,..(more of the same, hey,..what did you expect?)
on the short - one week ago today was my 1 yr ann of posting brilliant insights on all things cool in the hazy world of J.Chula. can you believe this is a fact? Like occasionally i'll twirl back into time & read some stuff from the past that i've wrote - most of the time i'll chuckle to myself - sometimes i'm surprised - other times i gag - & the remaining times I'm blown away at how good i think i could be - no seriously - the majority of stuff i write, especially poems & such will only make sense to me.
anyway - this is just a happy pat on my sore shoulder. thanks to all who read this - it really gives me that extra sense of wellness in my life. we have succeeded in being apart of something bigger in life - this is our community - this is our generation - it's what we do. this internet thing, it's our stamp - & 150 yrs from now when we're long gone - some likely lad will stumble across this page & it's quite possible one single tear will flow from his robotic eye - then he'll short circuit because robots can't get wet - then we'll win the first battle in a long & bloody human v robot war - because he was the one robot who was supposed to watch guard over the remaining human facility (that was filled to capacity) - we'll slowly gain traction & our bases(that are filled with weapons & our deadly robot virus will be taken back & somehow, probably because of the ability to love each other, we'll overcome) then we'll go watch some proper football in a proper pub situation - & I'll mope home - hey, what did you expect? I'm only 1 yr & 1 week old,....

so this is all things caf & decaf - I buy based on intuition & fit,...
since i's in the sharing mood & all, i found the ugliest jeans ever for (the still astronomical price of) $19.95 & wanted you to see,...can i get a witness?

& this is me floating in air - they call that hover where i'm from

pay special attention to the beer belly & right now it's all about the Whitesnake concert I attended in 1986 - Oh crap! I left my Members Only jacket at the train stop,....what am I to do? (wait a second, how'd I get into the Whitesnake show when I was only 5?)
but on the serious,...did you see some of my heroes last night on the gram-train? oh my!, sweet & sublime gratification - twas mostly an over-bloated mess but Jay came out to greet Chris Martin whilst he slowly & intimately chimed away on the pearl keys - & then to say, to say, to say, to say that I was blown quite figuratively away by Radiohead accompanied by some form or amalgamation of the USC trojan marching band would quite possibly be an understatement.
Mr. Yorke I do presume - you've gone done & grown all your long hair out & a wonderful little beard-o. How do you think of these things? Notes & rhythms & the combination of layers & such?? you truly inspire. but did you also see Mrs. Martin with the introduction? it's quite possible that the 'play lads are big fans - but isn't it also possible that Mrs. Martin could right well be sleeping cold & alone after the aforementioned (very affectionate) introduction?? (hehehaha - you see now, I'm just conjuring up a bit of trouble) - but I'll now be leaving you,...

here comes the story of 4 men who got tired of fakin' it,...see if you can spot the phony,.
"All the animals come out at night - whores, skunk pu***es, buggers, queens, fairies, dopers, junkies, sick, venal. Someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets".
"You think you're God Almighty, but you know what you are? You're a cheap, lousy, dirty, stinkin' mug! And I'm glad what I done to you, ya hear that? I'm glad what I done!"

it's football mate! (massive - get stuck in - proper fish n'chip-lager supporters club) i am all these things:
big weekend mate - get stuck in, right? for examples - me & me flat mate headin' down t'white heart lane for da "norfh lundon darby" (north london derby - to Americans) yeah' mate - Spurs & the Arse' (Tottenham Hotspur v. Arsenal - to Americans) gettin' set ta'tangle up- proper match. (COME ON YOU SPURS!!)
but on the serious - huge match (as always) but there seems to be more talking points this year than in previous - Robbie Keane's return to Spurs after a 6 month stint at Liverpool (was it all just a dream?) - the end of the transfer window - Will recently acquired Russian wiz-kid Andrei Arshavin make his Arsenal debut? Can Harry (Houdini) Redknapp perform another magical escape & keep Spurs out of the drop zone? & what of Harry handing the Captain's armband immediately back to Keane upon his return? (SOMEBODY, ANSWER ME!!!)
& what about this Beckham loan deal? i have to say, I saw this coming all along. Hear me now: there is no way he leaves Milan to come back to play in MLS - No Way! Beckham fans,....just prepare yourselves. I suppose I'm kind of neutral in the matter - I mean I've never been one to get my panties (pink-silk-lace) all up in a bunch over goldenballs. I do find the AC Milan loan move quite interesting - we'll see. Italy has been incredibly entertaining this year. Milan have shot up to 2nd in Serie A upon Mr. Posh's arrival. something, not sure what, but something has changed in an ageing Milan side since David's insertion into the squad - I mean HE'S STARTING!! Something must be going right,...
United deal with the Hammers this weekend - who currently set mid-table , so on paper we should win it - but West Ham tend to beat us at least once a yr, EVERY YEAR!! should be interesting. Injuries still plague the champions & Rooney still looks to be another week or so on the sidelines nursing the hammy.
(Oh S! this just in, Rooney could very well feature for the Reds on Sunday - no starting situation but it looks like he makes the bench)
& how will a Gerrard-less Liverpool cope without their talisman? Can we hope for the beginning of mindless sprawl into a downward spiral? Yes, we can. Rafa' has obviously lost the plot, or should I say: he's starting to loose the plot. any-old,....
all these things,..enjoy your weekend, David Brent would want you to,...
"If work was so good, the rich would have kept more of it for themselves".
"If your boss is getting you down, look at him through the prongs of a fork and imagine him in jail".
"If you're gonna be late, then be late and not just 2 minutes - make it an hour and enjoy your breakfast".

an interesting case study,....(but my total heroes)
in recent times & in recent popular music I keep stumbling upon different marks left behind by what I believe to be the greatest band of all time - The Clash - but seriously - samples, dub remixes, covers, (so on & so forth) keep popping up & soothing me.
take the following tracks as proof - Everyone's heard M.I.A's Paper Planes (right?) well that started before Miss M. was even born (I think, not sure her age) with the Clash's Straight To Hell from the Combat Rock album (1982)
see for yourself - also M.I.A's indie rock-chic-dub twin Santogold has tried her hand (with Diplo) at the Clash with their internet-sensation remix album Top Ranking, this time substituting Brixton with Brooklyn,...o.k. shutting up now,...
also relevant in the stratosphere is a meager & bland sample of the Clash's Rock the Casbah performed by Will Smith in great anticipation of the year 2000. Does anyone remember Will 2K?
apparently Mack 10 & Ice Cube teamed up for a stellar version of Should I Stay Or Should I Go, but this lad was unable to find it.
there's more out there i swear it, you can't be this important, culturally & musically & not linger around in music's past, present & future for the rest of eternity.
ladies & gentleman,....the only band that matters (& here to answer your questions)

unstoppable in every possibly way - whether in reality or dreamland - still the best, coolest, most original, sod it mate,....... culture, fashion, politics, totally relevant to society at the time & still to this day - i'll fight you!!

ladies & gentleman,....the only band that matters (& here to answer your questions)

unstoppable in every possibly way - whether in reality or dreamland - still the best, coolest, most original, sod it mate,....... culture, fashion, politics, totally relevant to society at the time & still to this day - i'll fight you!!
this is 1/8th of my manifesto, (I'll let you know when i finish it,...)
do you know what it means to contemplate purpose in your life? (bruised ambition) It's like this: I can't play these games anymore, I don't want to, & I don't have to. (relevant thought)
I thought more about Revol. rd today & that film (beyond) speaks to me, especially at this point in my life. Not because i liked it, or didn't like it, (bigger than that) but solely because i recognize that things don't turn out the way you want them to in life.
at some point it's about your dreams in life, then it becomes about courage, then doubt, then regret, then lastly, well i'm not sure yet cause i'm really stuck somewhere after the doubt phase. but what is it that bridges the,...or should i say, why does the bridge sometimes crumble on or around courage st.?
(& you slowly start to see why i'm calling this the first part of my public declaration,..) (is there a science to this?)
I fail at something everyday.
but shouldn't we? won't our trials make us stronger? should we always care? because i can sit here right now & tell you that the majority of the time, I don't care. & aren't most people (again, the majority) just totally ok with the status-quo? I guarantee you that most people's true vision of happiness is simply not working, or doing the least amount of work possible & still be able to earn the same pay - raise your hand if you're a straight shooter with upper-management written all over your face________!
so take your time, & bottle up & explode & pound something & yell profanely when things don't go your way. but in the end, at the end of the day, (didn't Wes Anderson say it,...?) "it doesn't interest me" & I'm tired of apologizing for my lack of interest in things. I'm simply not interested like you are. I'm a man, shouldn't that count for something?
My failures don't make me stronger - at least I don't feel that they do. They may subconsciously effect me in a positive manner, but only in explaining my unhappiness at them. So I'll push people away, & say filthy words under my breath, & break no ground & continue to wear my emotions on my sleeve. (which i'll never care about) Go ahead & squeak by. But I believe the fact that I do wear my emotions out is one reason why I don't feign enthusiasm in certain matters. How many of us walk around in a perpetual state of dishonesty? Think about that the next time you're in an uncomfortable to semi-uncomfortable social situation.
I'm brushing your thoughts off my shoulder like dandruff on a black sweater - Is what I say to myself. Now you know that this is just therapy. Because what can a therapist tell me about my problems that I don't already know? So go ahead & judge me cause I'm simply not interested in it. I'm turning over a new leaf, one in which the powers that be will shake in their knickers when they only imagine the mere mention of my face & or name. Soon, they'll fear me.
I get tired of my thermos leaking, one wasted drip after one wasted drip until I deem it utterly worthless & broken. Won't someone please grab me a bib?

quote from the savage detectives that means something to me,....
"Then I started to think about the abyss that separates the poet from the reader and the next thing I knew I was deeply depressed."
also,
watched Revolutionary Road this past weekend, & only wanted to say how relevant that film was. whether it was set in the mid-50's, 20's, modern day, or the 1700's, as long as man & woman find each other & fall in love & devout themselves to each other, things will happen. what we experienced was a glimpse into a tumultuous relationship between 2 adults. things don't always end up the way we plan them & the important thing about the film is how we adapt to the constantly changing environment of (yes!) adulthood. kids, jobs, friends, & the ever tempestuous third party entering in,.....
but incredible performances by both kate & leo & more so this Michael Shannon bloke, who happens to be from right here in Lexington, who played a "kook", but with honesty. the performance was brilliant.
