Behind enemy lines
1 out of 12 people in the world have a weapon. The problem is how to arm the other 11.
After Fascism, Stalinism, Stat-a-lism and neo-Colonialism we just needed a new respectable enemy that does not just talks-the-talk. Aloha, Islamism.
Puff! Are we a democracy now?
And what shelves should I get and what shoes should I wear when my portable is lying on the two hard-disks-enclosures-combo on top of the ethernet modem which is on top of the hi-fi and did I tell you that boom-boxes were on a returning leg? Your iPod can finally feed the family on Apple-approved speaker-dome. Special events are just to introduce these tiny i-Fi evolutions. here
Tiny evolutions are what Tom Jenkins, a.k.a. Squarepusher, has been delivering for a while. Since "Hard Normal Daddy" and "Big Loada" he's been thru his own "White souls..." with "Music is rotted one note" and now "Ultravisitor". In a few years Tom may be delivering his "Bitches Brew Revisited". Please bring that on. And may Miles Davis understand what we don't.
Our prime minister went to see George. George did not say shit about our prime minister. National newspapers emphasizes Berlusconi has a close deal with the Bushes. Is that gas? Maybe methane.
The 1st of March is set aside especially for pigs. It was started by Texas art teacher Ellen Stanley in 1972 to honour and give thanks to our most intelligent domesticated creature. On this day, remember the good things pigs have brought to us; remember that pigs are sociable, intelligent mammals. They are much like us in many ways, they have noticable personality traits and soaring emotions. You might want to visit a farm sometime in March for a day out (with the kids) and pay your respects to these marvelous animals.
There's one thing I like about George Bush. His plane. AF-One, a heavily modified 747-400 is the most beautiful flying machine on earth and you won't find it on Google with its current look. To kill a very widespread misconception, the 747 we associate to the US president is not always the AF-One. Any aircraft that carries the US president bears the call-sign Air Force One. It could be a DC-9 or a little Augusta A109 helicopter. Helos and planes, lots of which draw the line for Lord of War. In the end, Lord of War, the movie, isn't for everyone. In a sense this film is kind of like "Blow" because it's about a man who feels his life isn't complete without selling something that is bad. He has everything he could ever want but still needs to sell the firearms. It's a powerful story which I feel really puts things in perspective as far as Americans look at things. Nicolas Cage's performance is incredible as he seems to not care at all for the people's lives he puts at stake every day and when it comes to his own life he still seems unemotional and doesn't seem to worry. I think this is one of the best film's of year. If you have an open mind about things and enjoy movies that will make you think check out "Lord of War" because it's well worth the price.
In the meantime A. Baricco, one of our Italian novelist-fantastique, is praying for objective criticism, alas "read me before you bash me". Can you read it to me? You want me to buy your story, please read it to me... tell me your story... (no-link-for-you)
I understand you are going to ask for new designs, talents, snapshots of things to come. That has been lagging on Timeline lately. A new project is in progress that will get its wings on pixartisan.com in April. So, be patient, I'm working hard on that.
