Hello ladies and gents,
Whats new??
A new tattoo is whats new with me





I love love love it!

Ive been having such a relaxing few days off it has mostly consisted of drinking hot chocolate and reading a bunch of books I picked up on paleontology and fossils. I am fascinated to no end with that stuff.

Also I own this record, its one of my favourites, have a listen:



Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds. Call me a geek, but its fucking amazing when you listen to the whole thing...... especially with a nice joint

I also finally got my copy of Suicide Girls: Beauty Redefined, it really s an excellent collection of photographs, if you havent yet, please check it out!

I would also like to share a poem my good friend Rizzo wrote.

THE WORLD AFTER POST MODERNISM

The bright lights! The sunlight glows
the things that are my freak :
what are broken objects
can I now see?

May I bask in this warmth
of spectacle of starry infinite invitation

Or,
have I landed
in another box?

I swam to Aquarius today.
We spoke of our dead world
and our newbirthed hope
for art.

Yes, I said: I agree that material-availability
has made everyone the small-time artist.
The world of creation is hardly elitist anymore.
But the notion that everything has been done already
is gross,
it grosses me OUT;
it is revolting.
ART
can never cease.

Yes, she says, I agree that everything you said is true.
I understand that brats and thugs have names.
I understand that society is boring and the
concrete middle class have nothing
in meaning except spare time.

To be louder and hard, we must create.
I dont care that Time is the filter.
I dont care that through ther worlds great connection
is harder to be.
Im sorry. Im sorry.
There are times that manifesto's are spat in speech.

I think of the "hip"
and the beatific hip
and the glamour involved with history.
I explain to my consciousness, when
your telling the story
you will be from another Time.
You will understand reasoning
for it slips from the present,
as the gift.

-This is from her new 'business card" entitled MAKE GRASSROOT. NOT ASTROTURF.

And I just want to add one more clip from Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds:



Hopefully I will see all you beautiful people at Love Thy Gala on February 13! Be there or be square!!!
