America Is A Slack Jawed Beast

February 18th, 2010

“For the last thirty years. America has become a slack jawed beast that devours it's own citizens on the behalf of a wealthy, privileged oligarchy who stand hidden behind the banks and media outlets which they control. The Republicans have pursued policy after policy to sharpen the teeth of the beast to make the process more efficient and the digestion easier. The bleeding heart Democrats, may God bless them, have made it their mission to seek policy changes that would at least anesthetize the victims before being devoured, to which the Republicans have consistently replied "That would be a waste of money, you fucking communists.”

About Me

So that's me there in that picture. Or me in anime/manga form. I'll probably change that picture from time to time. What else? Well, I call New York City home. My passions include, but are by no means limited to music, politics, capoeira, and good single malt scotch. I suppose if you need to know more than that just mosey on over to the about page more info.

A Quick Observation

Ah, death metal and ballet - two great tastes that go together. Well, if by together you use a crowbar and some sort of lube.

A Short Aside

One of my favorite pleasures is spending quiet Sunday mornings with a cup of coffee and the NY Times. Highlights from this Sunday include a piece about 1970's New York and it's reflection on the ABC show 'Life on Mars' , an appreciation for the TED lecture series, a profile of one of contemporary China's best selling writers, and the role of internet social networks and protests on the Arab street.

Oh and some more bullshit from Tom Friedman...

Listening

Burst Lazarus Bird

How I missed this magnificent disc last year escapes me. Out in a barren waste where Swedish death metal meets Pink Floydian textures and Tool's hypnotic repetitiveness. A stunning work of stark metal beauty.

The Love We Share Without Knowing

Christopher Barzak's fragile novel about love and loss set in contemporary Japan. Light like a wind chime, heavy enough to break your heart.
