The begining of the end...
"women in resistance"
a video... a song...
a tool... a message...
on line...
a cabin outside of glenwood springs colorado. surrounded by the mountains in a little valley. 1989. a valley of tall grass. or short trees. cool summer's night. sitting in a flimsy plastic garden chair. the good son playing over and over again as i took it all in. missing her, a state and a timezone away. most likely repeating the ship and weeping songs. play. rewind. play.rewind.play. i don't think i had my nice aiwa portable cassette player yet but maybe i did. not sure.
g-d. all those portable cassette players i owned. auto reverse. little red battery lights. super bass. anti rolling mechanism. high bias. radio presets. digital. plastic. metal. i always wanted one of those yellow sport walkmans but there was no reason to. i'm not even a big fan of yellow. i'm sure somebody had one. somebody i wanted to be.
the night was quiet. the stars were out. the air was clean.
and i was removed. distant. somewhere else. in pain. in longing.in sadness.
but now: paradise.
Other than that: all well. Leaving for Leeds tomorrow, looking forward to Yorkshire scenery, my host Laura and her parents, and British Sea Power on Monday.
Checking my pms and e-mails with no real expectations but with enthusiastic anticipation nevertheless.
I could not understand.
I believed I could.
I never knew.
I am sorry.
It is really sad that we project our current level of culture and our cultural norms on to others. Just because US imperialism is aggressive and bent on controlling all the resources, labor and markets of the world it can... doesn't mean truly intelligent life would be that way.
In fact there are many arguments that the only way interstellar space flight could be obtained would be through a long term stable culture requiring peaceful social relations among their peoples that could amass a great deal of resources.
In other words societies just the opposite of those of the history of human kind of class domination. In short, a post capitalist society based on abundance that Marx called Socialist and then later a free association of people called Communism or anarchy.
The reason Native Americans were decimated was unfortunately they were not contacted by such a truly intelligent society, but by self righteous Calvinists that thought if you can take it, you should get it, and if you lost out it was because obviously you were not in God's favor. We now practice the modern equivalent of this, the capitalist ethic.
By definition I would say our current way of operating in the world could not be defined as intelligent.
Dijiste que esperara un tiempo
Algunos viajes cambian las perspectivas
Soy un vigilante de los detalles
Mi mirada te desnuda
Y quedas expuesta para todos
Ohh adelante, sigue pensando que soy un niño
Te puedo asegurar
Que no estaré bajo tus pies
Estaré por encima de ti
Clavando mis colmillos en tus venas
Soy el perfecto jugador
Para jugar a esto
¿Piensas que soy menos que el?
¿Me debo disculpar por no excitarte?
Cariño, soy mejor que todos, lo sabes
Espero que el tiempo te juzgue
Quizás en otra vida podrá ser
Ambos caerán en su propia desesperación
Su invierno los enfriara
Suponer es mi estilo de vida
No perderé nada, te lo aseguro
Porque ya todo lo perdí
Todo lo que toco, muere
Todo lo que veo es en blanco y negro
Mis enemigos no se comparan a mí
Me presento, soy tu caída
No me interesan tus protestas en contra mía
Esto se convirtió en la guerra fría
¿Aun quieres engañarme?
¡Bravo, perfecto, sigamos!
No te preocupes, estaré ahí
Para recogerte de los que te cojen
Y seguiré fingiendo
¡Sí! Soy un psicópata
El mejor de todos, lo sabes
Saquémonos nuestras mascaras
Para ver quien tiene el rostro más desfigurado
¡Perfecto! Gane, esto se sentencio
Me quedare contigo
Para recoger tus huesos.

Or I can listen to some music and escape the melange of self-induced life dilemmas. On the bright side, I got to see Thom Yorke/Atoms for Peace the second night in Oakland, and I'm quite sure that this experience changed my life. Being in the midst of all that exciting energy between artists and fans felt like I was truly at peace and at home--if home were a state of mind, of course. Now back to writing about civil society.
