society's sanctimonious soul

long and legendary laundry list of individuals who were summarily sacrificed in the name of society's sanctimonious soul...

Judge a man by the size of his enemies.

are we taught to fear what's different to us, or what's different to the majority?

Democrazy?

I don't always have to make sense!

Spoiler Warning!

Where am I when I'm not here?

I must admit that I haven't been keeping up my end of the bargain lately. The deal is I write obnoxious phrases and witty observations about things going on in my head, and you read/ignore it... But I have not been fulfilling my part of this codependent relationship in the past few months. I just wanted you to know I am aware of this situation and will be putting systems in place to prevent these sorts of breaches of conduct occurring in future. Well that works when you tell your boss, so should buy me a bit of time.

All bollocks aside though, I was spending heaps of time adding stuff to the "Twisted by Life" myspace page, which although I have created for this blog, is unofficial and anything said on there is a filthy lie. But seriously folks, it took me like an hour to put in the movies I like and other silly crap like that, that stuff sucks away time like some kind of chronological vacuum cleaner. But that's not all, my myspace craze then morphed into a animation obsession, so just to show you what has been stealing my time lately, here are some examples...

Bear in mind this has slowed down my progress in reading my book (slowly progressing through the Dice Man), watching movies*, listening to muzac, drawing pictures, showing affection to others and blogging in general.

*more like rewatching the entire Sopranos back catalogue

Bit of brutality in the woods. Nation of violent drinkers? taught from a young age? example followed. Always someone to blame. Ignorance. Bravado. Anger. Revenge. Hate. Kill. Death. Everything breaks down to smaller particles... and came from somewhere.

Editors Note (not meant to entertain)

BTW....

I may not put as many photos on here as I have previously...
Just ones that I really like, marginally respect or begrudgingly acknowledge. The main point is that I now have other places to store photos, so instead of putting photos in my posts I can just put links to them. Anyway this does not really matter. There are a few pics located on my my myspace space space. So will probably just use this space to talk crap, pester you with ideas that go nowhere, and generally continue to exist in the fashion I have become accustomed to.

Too busy, as always. Time/money paradox. Need more time... but this must be sacrificed to obtain money. Which is required to acquire possessions which can be used to enjoy time. Which you can't use 'cause you are too busy trying to get more money! Endless cycle of labour used to further others aims. Means to an end. Our forebears had it worse. Who am I to complain? A moaning whinger I assume... The odds of winning the lottery aren't even worth a chance... But we'll risk it all, for a opportunity to break out. Is boredom better than being in pain? or would that at least provide some sort of stimulation which is preferable to the absence of any feeling or excitement. Go on without me, I'll only drag you down, to my level, of wonder at what is and what isn't.

Subversive remorse

I'd rather talk about things I have no control over, abstractions so far off their existence is debatable. I have political ideas but they more resemble philosophical discussions, people on the extremes are usually (too) close to the issue, I don't wanna pick an opinion that won't be relevant in a few years, not that I chop and change, but my ideas do, I'm not gonna tell you a fool proof way to save the world, but I'll tell you my opinion today, but try to remember this is not a person it's an idea, my other ego is my id, do I want your approval? sometimes...

There's your explanation
I might mirror this all from now on?
Or some sort of compromise
that works...

Athens of Otago

I had to go to Oamaru the other day...
It's not necessarily somewhere you by choice.
I learnt a few things on my journey...
I had previously thought that Omma's was basically your last chance to get fast food on a car journey to Dunedin. The reason I had to go down there was a prolouge to an earlier story. I was to be a witness in a Coroner's inquest. Which is not really too difficult itself, I just stood in the witness box while the cop read my statement, then ask if I agreed. A pretty small thing to do seeing had to travel 8 hours on a bus to get there and back. Seeing I was there for a good few hours I went and had a look at the historic precient and found out about it's history. It is actually pretty cool, if your into Victorian buildings made of White stone. In fact if you get turned on by New Zealand pioneer heritage preservation, its a bit of a wetdream. But although it has a almost fully preserved area filled with Victorian buildings, I wouldn't have wanted to be there too much longer. But I might stop a little longer next time I drive to Dunedin.





Oamaru:
Population: 15,000 (approx.)
Nickname: The Whitestone town

By the way it was her fault.

This week’s featured quotation artist: Thomas Jefferson*
(*I think he was the neighbour on Married with Children)

Just to prove I'm not anti-Republican (of course I am though) I have produced this small selection of ideas to demonstrate the evolution of republican thought. I have selected quotes from the early nineteenth century to compare how I think these ideas would be spun if they we thought of today, enjoy!

Then:
"Laws made by common consent must not be trampled on by
individuals." --Thomas Jefferson to Col. Vanneter, 1781.
Now:
"Laws made by common consent must not be trampled on by
individuals who did not attend Yale for at least one semester."

Then:
"The Habeas Corpus secures every man here, alien or citizen,
against everything which is not law, whatever shape it may
assume." --Thomas Jefferson to A. H. Rowan, 1798.
Now:
"The Habeas Corpus secures every man here, alien or citizen,
against everything which is not law, not applicable in
Guantanamo Bay"


Then:
"Where the press is free, and every man able to read,
all is safe." --Thomas Jefferson to Charles Yancey, 1816.
Now:
"Next on Fox & friends:
If you challenge the government are you a terrorist?"

There are many here amoung us
that think that life is but a joke...

Form, function and other useless bollocks!

I am wrong, you are wrong...
I guess simplification can be a good thing, as long as it is not at the expense of the truth. I mean, so many news articles are so overly simplified that they become incorrect, or at the least misleading to folk who just skim the surface. The retractions are always hidden too deep within, to be noticed.

Here is a sorta cheesy thought for the day followed by some movie dialogue, jolly original of me I know but I just thought it was something to think about...

Two Wolves

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a
Battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son,
The battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret,
Greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment
Inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope,
Serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence,
Empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute
And then asked his grandfather,
"Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

--------------------------------------

Colonel: You write "Born to Kill" on your helmet and you wear a peace button. What's that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke?
Joker: No, sir.
Colonel: You'd better get your head and your ass wired together, or I will take a giant shit on you.
Joker: Yes, sir.
Colonel: Now answer my question or you'll be standing tall before the man.
Joker: I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir.
Colonel: The what?
Joker: The duality of man. The Jungian thing, sir.
Colonel: Whose side are you on, son?
Joker: Our side, sir.
Colonel: Don't you love your country?
Joker: Yes, sir.
Colonel: Then how about getting with the program? Why don't you jump on the team and come on in for the big win?
Joker: Yes, sir.
Colonel: Son, all I've ever asked of my marines is that they obey my orders as they would the word of God. We are here to help the Vietnamese, because inside every gook there is an American trying to get out. It's a hardball world, son. We've gotta keep our heads until this peace craze blows over.
Joker: Aye-aye, sir.

Celestial Watchmaker

We cannot control our thoughts completely, so does that mean we can blame our thoughts for our acts of evil? Well in my opinion no, you can't really blame anyone/thing but yourself for you actions, ultimately. But it does raise the interesting issue that not all our acts are of our own choosing, to a certain point our actions are determined by habit, luck and if you believe in it fate or a higher power, that you might like to call god. I have been thinking alot about (the?) religious debate recently, since reading a review for the Richard Dawkins book the 'God delusion'. Which seeks purely to determine the existence of god (your god), and not judge whether the belief that there is a god is a good or a bad occurrence. I think that's (almost?) more interesting, we could debate whether their is actually a god till we're blue in the face and still not come any closer to a conclusion, but whether the actual belief itself is beneficial to individuals and the world is a bit easier to debate, sort of. In many cases belief in religion motivates people to do many good things; donate to charity, be forgiving and generous, lead a positive existence. But of course many will realise the negative things religion can cause. It can cause people to write nasty letters, tell you how to live your life and maybe worst of all the fact that religion (or differences between religions) causes most of the wars in the world. Ok well sometimes its a difference in culture, nationality or politics, things that can be linked very closely in my books (which don't exist) with religion(s). The thing is, belief in an ultimate power or supreme deity fills us with enough 'faith' to believe that everything we do is right. When (if?) we think about it all societies in history have been wrong with some or most of their knowledge of the world, themselves, outer space. To me god or religion is just as complicated or ambiguous as those things. So there is a good chance that alot of what is widely believed today is wrong. So why should any body, nation or society act with so much confidence in their own beliefs that any means can justify these elusive ends? Notice I'm not aiming this particularly at any one group, government or country? Because the more I look into conflict the more I see that usually both sides are right (to a certain extent) its just a clash or situation that is causing both parties to act unfavourably because the circumstance have pitted them against each other so much, that backing down is not an option because it is seen as defeat. So which ever groups you dislike you may assume I was attacking them... but in essence I'm trying to vaguely describe all conflicts. Which are occurring frequently and will continue to do so, and you can't even control your own thoughts!

Its almost unacceptable to think that what you believed in was wrong, but it could be damned helpful in the long run.

Don't be scared... it's only words...

By the way... I'd like to know how many people have ever convert or adopted religion on their doorstep? And if anybody successfully uncoverted someone who came door knocking at their place.... anyway.

If something has to change
then it always does...

LIGHT BRIGHTS HOLD POPULATION TO RANSOM:

Be afraid... be very afraid! Because if you're whipped up into a state of frenzied panic it's easier for powerful forces to influence your erratic mood shifts and paranoid tendencies.

Unless of course you live in Boston, then you should be very worried about being attacked by cartoon characters from outer space. This shocking plot was revealed by amazing minds that realised that in this post 9-Eleven era (mass media shorthand turned symbolic rallying cry) anything looks vaguely electronic is a bomb planted by people who "hate our freedom".

Ohhh whoops it was just advertising for Aqua Teen using light boards, now I'm even more afraid. Afraid that people who seem to be rational, civilised and living in large metropolitan areas can be so naive, and scared of outdated technology. I have focused on this hysterical reaction because it combines (and shows a clash between) intelligent or thought provoking media (e.g ATHF) versus one dimensional media coverage (e.g 'the news media'), I think some people need to get a grip. Why is it that your so supicious of things your know nothing about? More of the subversive activity can be evidence in this retro classic game made irreverent.

Get a friggin' sense of humour... This is what happens when you spread ignorance on a mass scale (Fox & Friends, et al I'm looking at you!) How come I've heard of ATHF and I live nowhere near the USA, but all these media analyst types on the big news channels have never heard of it? Ohhh that's right by head is located separately to my anus.

Movie coming soon...

We have advanced beyond all belief's and manners...

Distorted Perceptions

More cynical pragmatic advice on lying for morally bankrupt election strategists!
Nah not really just some quotes I plundered from unknown sources (a bit like fox news!) that I at least partially enjoyed or that can be used against people that frustrate you.

• Don’t believe everything you think.
• Wipe you mouth there’s still a bit of bullshit on your lips.
• Never go to bed angry… stay up and plot your revenge.
• Why don’t you slip into something more comfortable… like a coma?
• Shhhhhh… that’s the sound of nobody caring what you think.
• Did you eat an extra bowl of stupid this morning?
• I don’t know what your problem is… but I’m sure it’s hard to pronounce!
• Don’t make me use UPPERCASE!
• You’re not yourself today… I noticed the improvement immediately!
• Don’t let your mind wander… it’s too small to go out on its own.

Ok they aren't brilliant but better than empty space I assume.

E.A.D

Spin to win!

no time...

I'd rather have a cluttered, complicated even incomplete view of the world... than assume I understand what has happened, what will happen, and to even try to formulate moralistic theories that use past occurrences and 'history' to explain the present. I am highly suspicious of anyone who thinks they can interpret the present through the past. History is so vast and varied that any examples can be picked to back up your conclusions which you have obviously formed then attempted to find 'evidence' to back it up. Case studies from the bible are about as scientific as dreams I have about strange towns that never existed. So there!

More specific rant:
And if you purport to call yourself "probably New Zealand’s best known political historian" you’re a bit high on your own publicity machine, especially if your obviously pushing some kind of right wing agenda... You might find some of the lesser known “political historians” attacking your bigoted attitudes…

Interpreting facts to suit your own conclusion… or in your case fabricating them all together…

Back to Orewa? You might find yourself washed up on a beach somewhere!

Or are we just ungrateful brats, who should accept that greed is good?
Who should be dancing in the streets around statues of Roger Douglas! I mean old people and minorities are a drain on the economy!

DomPost doesn't want you, luckily 'the Press' has plenty of middle class white male readers for you to infect your fear and prejudice with... ohhh sorry I forgot your an 'objective columist'

Rant complete.

Superman Joke...

It was recently requested that I add this joke to this blog…

Super man was flying along one day, looking down on the distant world below. Then with his super sight he saw ‘Wonder woman’ lying naked on her balcony, apparently sleeping. Superman thought: ‘I am super fast… I could go down there, and be in and out before she even notices…’ A battle of conscience began within the man of steel, until finally his desires got the better of him. Faster than a speeding bullet he flew down, did the deed and was off again before wonder woman knew what had happened. She said “Woooah… did you feel a strong breeze then? And the invisible man said: “I don’t know what it was but it really hurt my arse”

End of joke.

Personal Best

The stuff the others won't tell you:

life is going a bit too fast (but not that twisted) at the moment...
but unfortunately have found time to add my two cents!

Did you ever read ‘Mad’ magazine when you were younger (or now)? There would usually be an introduction to each piece of writing which set-up the basic joke and left it open for a range of punch lines. This bit here is my tribute to those bits and also serves as a cheesy way to set up my own lame humour piece. So without further delay I present a piece entitled “You know you’re shallow if you…”

YOU KNOW YOU’RE SHALLOW IF YOU…

…think 2003 is ancient history.

…think climate change is a passing fad.

…believe what you read in tabloids.

…support radical free market ideology.

…have ever said: ‘that’s so hot right now’ (and you weren’t being ironic)

…don’t really care what the error was, but you’d like it fixed.

…make up your mind who to vote for on election day.

…believe what you read in the newspapers.

…want to criticise anything that I say.

…think money doesn’t influence politics.

… think Caesar was a salad maker.

… are really worried about celebrity couples relationships.

…think society is equal.

...are Paris Hilton.

…believe what you see on the news.

…think this is funny.

That is all.

In politics it’s not the best man or the best policies that win… it’s the best campaign!

Shameless Self-Promotion

I have some stuff I want to put here, but lack necessary time to complete this....
Hopefully some quickly added photos will satisfy in the meantime...
Though they never have before....






Here's my comment for the day...
It's not evil to swear, it's not necessarily evil to think about harming someone. Its whether you go through with your thoughts that makes them evil... Well in my proverb book anyway. Its not black and white, there's a lot of grey. So what use is it teaching your offspring hard and fast rules and imperitives, that only suit a specific situation. Why teach people to bottle it all up and then release all their anger in a violent fit of rage? The worlds changing, will your moral compass survive?

when life is busy the blog suffers...

Politics of Unhappiness (moan, moan, friggin’ moan!)

Hollow people syndrome.

Is a nagging feeling of emptiness a constant nonnegotiable fact of life that is only disguised, here and there, by ambitions or tragedies that distract us momentarily? Ongoing, never-ending…

It seems we are either chasing the next obsession, or lamenting the one just gone. The satisfaction of achievement becomes eclipsed by the nothingness you feel when you don’t have something to aim for. What could you have done differently? Is regret a worthwhile emotion or just a way to look back on something you know no longer have a choice in/or control over? A yearning for the next/last high/low…

I personally feel that I am never completely satisfied with my exact situation. Is it pessimism, Realism or the inherited discontent of modern society and my isolation from… something, I don’t exactly know what... A detachment from nature? An estrangement from our natural desires for conflict and brutality? Alienation from my own labour? (I’m not Marx but work sucks) Or all of the above?

Is this my own neurosis or a widespread feeling of loneliness, depression, personal trauma, unlimited wants, lack of struggle for survival, missing outlets for primal aggression, sexual frustration, neediness?? Well OK I know it is not localised to my thoughts , because I read similar ideas from people that had died before my parents were born...

Are we really free to do as we wish?

It can be avoided whether through delusion or denial. But someday it will sneak up, grab you and give you a bit of pain… (Anxiety, loathing, malevolence, greed, hunger…)

MY SOLUTION: Fuck it, do your best and what you think is right at the time, and we’ll sort the rest out a bit later on down the track…. Comes out in the wash, swings and roundabouts, ups and downs…

But then a gentle feeling that nothing is worth stressing about for too long descends.

I couldn’t say it better:

“Its’ deep how you can be so shallow
I’m afraid cos I have no fear”

"Verbal war paradigm
Pseudo street fighter
Removable objectivity"

"Basically I’m complicated…
I’m only guessing…

The ongoing Ideological battle between Individualism and collectivism...

How can people be so friggin' cruel? Wasn't it said that a society can be judged by how it treats it's most destitute and disadvantaged citizens?
"Oh but humans have to make the most of what we have, so we should reward those that can be the most greedy, this will increase the overall efficiency of the market, and as a side effect reduce the over-population problem amoungst the poor and inefficient! Survival of the fittest! let them sort themselves out, individualism, isolation, xenophobia... it is God's will!"
Yeah well it doesn't give you the right to be a c**t! Why can't you have some compassion or sympathy? Or is that to socialistic for you in our market system?

"Can those values be graphed?"



Woah a week just went past... and all I did was Youtube...

It has just been made official that everything can now be viewed.
Including everytime you have ever been to the toilet or to an
eating establishment, police-station or office...
Man, I never knew girls fought each other so much until I searched
for girl fights. But seriously, is nothing sacred anymore? No!
Ohhh well thats good we can all get over ourselves once and for all,
and not fight about who's prophet is who's son...

• Nirvana on "top of the pops" (just love that show!)
• JFK does Dallas (Not very pretty)
• "LA's finest" (they will treat you like a king*)
• Grand theft Auto (not the game)
• "White n Nerdy" (Weird Al, check out "Smells like Nirvana")
• "Northern lights" ( Aurora Borealis)
• Simpsons (Live action start sequence)

other search topics not recommended:
riots, plane/car crashes, Kevin Federline (sorry K-Fed)

That is all, for now...


*Rodney King

Bill O'Reilly eats children... (and minorities)

Free Hugs from Sick Puppies....

Just been trawling through the massive abyss that is Youtube…
(who hasn't)
Here are a few things I found that weren’t crap…
(And some that were…)

Thought I'd share a few of my recommendations out loud:
I warn you: Time will pass and you may not notice.

• Troops on LSD (wacked out)
  
• Bernie and Ert (in German)
• Bill O'Reilly on Letterman (for those who hate Bill)
• Borat on Letterman
  
• Gone Daddy Gone (Gnarls Barkley)
• Rotting Pumpkin
• New Bravia Ad (is pretty cool)
  
• My Way (Sid Vicious)
  

If you don't know who Bill O'Reilly is and would like to hate him too:

• Bill O'Reilly Spins some shight (shut up! shut up! shut up!)
  

...and if you get bored of that there are always school yard fights and bad ads to peruse!

Like Choirs? check out... 'heartbeats' has a nice video too...

Vicious lies and spouting my opinion:

Disclaimer:
I do not endorse violence, unless its humourous
or directed against someone that isn't me...

Can anyone tell me why Bill O'Reilly is not dead yet? Surely with so many guns around someone could do us all a favour? He is the devil's bitch on earth or something. Why is it only the right-wing nuts get to assassinate people. I am not really avocating his murder, even though approximately 60% of what he says is crap. But if someone wants to blow up Fox "News" (loose use of the word news) and not blame me, I would be slightly happier... Imagine Alex Jones and Bill O'Reilly in a Bare-knuckle brawl! Except Alex gets 2 grenades and a flamethrower... Im not really evil, but like everyone I have objects of hatred and things I wish did not exist, and I'm really sick of the right-wing agenda, that's running the world... Fox "News " can be funny for a laugh though...

mind is a razorblade

Typical Fox Commentary:

Situation #1: Repubican politician shoots someone accidentally.
Comments: "Nice shot, now lets get over it!"

Situation #2: Democrat politician talks about troops overseas.
Comments: From these comments we can assume that the Democrats seem to want to free Saddam, make America into a giant sex shop, ensure abortions are mandatory, use stem cell research to spread homosexuality and make all religion into communism.

p.s Can someone please tell Jay-Z what retirement means?

p.p.s Thanks Kerry for giving the GOP a chance (ar$ehole!)
You must be Bush's Cousin!

Culture of Fear

Caught between Iraq and a hard place....

Well now that old Saddam has been dealt to looks like a happy ending for everybody...
yeah right!

Oh except for the pesky *almost* civil war between the rival Sunni and Shitte factions, which I believe (if not purposely sparked by Western influence) is being encouraged.
(I obviously have no proof of this, so feel free not to believe me, but check out the articles and it seems pretty pretty suspect...)
Even the way the 'show' trail of old beardy is portrayed in the media,
frames it as battle between old and new power in Iraq, e.g. the old Sunni's who were on top are gonna pay for keeping the shitte's down for so long. So yeah go at it fellas, kill each other for Uncle Sam, same as they do in Compton. Shitte vs. Sunni, might as well be Crips n' Bloods. Just get the groups you fear/despise to do the dirty work themselves, all you have to do is blow up a few mosques.
Divide and conquer yeee har!

By the way I don't blame America itself, like all countries your powerful elite and ruling Government have got you in the dark, while they plan their next move(s)...
People, people, people...
