Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

Something sulphuric, contrived of cheap beans and old cabbage hearts.

A certain fuel so to speak, driving our pathetic notions of hope and change into bloody pulps of apathetic folly.

The horizon of a glass half full, suffocated once again by the fearful, overly gravitized, glass half empty.

How can we not see it clearly?

How can our hearts not be broken at this vivid sight before our eyes, of elite power having a tantrum at it's imminent loss, resorting to beating it's challenger, the winner, using lies, imagined status, and preying on a percieved stupidity of the masses via fear.

Read all about it in "In Touch" magazine.

If Hillary stood right now, where Obama stands, she'd be the nominee and you know it.
Cake,

Jesus H Christ Hester
Welcome to America

Yeah we need a new hero
somebody like Howard The Duck


Something in the air yesterday
so sweet
the scent of a gentle spring rain.

You think I'm naive right?
I think I might be too.
But I can't give it up yet....

H

Naive
yeah
I guess I do sound cynical
I hate that word Naive
must be french
so impossible to pronounce looking at the spelling

I think I would rather be Naive than Cynical.
Took me a while to get the SNL clip
Obama is the new hero man?
he is beat up by Hillary/villian?

He ain't seen nothing to what the mighty Quin is going to do.
Mighty Quin being the republicans I suppose.
That's the way I see it.

I am so conflicted about Hillary hes. I would love to see a woman have a shot at the job, but maybe not that women. So many of her supporters say you must be a sexist if you don't support her.

I suppose it is a cop out for me to say it is easier for you to judge her than me. I got to look at my motives for being disgusted with her stand on the Iraq war. How much of my disaprobation is sexism.
Seems to be the issue sometimes in this campaign. Are you a racist or a sexist.

Has politics all ways been like this or like the Greeks did we have some golden age?

Give up?
Not yet
I am hoping that Obama gets the nomination.

But even so
I can't forget how stoked I was in 2004 that the nightmare was going to be over. Then John (i can kill them better) Kerry sleeped walk through the campaign.

I have had the news off the past couple of days, I know Obama won Wyoming. But the story in FL and MI got me worried, pretty shrewd of hillary to run in those states.
And they talking about it coming down to the superdelegate count.
It is all too interesting to me.
Now Nader who knows what he is doing I suppose.

Yeah it makes me feel like I am living in a curse, that Chinese one about "May you live in interesting times."

I have not been listening to the news except for a few snips once in a while, eight dead in Israel, 68 dead in Iraq, dead in Somalia, dead in Spain, dead in Ohio.

but I been reading the local paper cause there is hardly anything in it that uspsets me. Just the local news about kids winning spelling bees and stuff like that.

But there was a review of a book called "Gaming The Vote" why voting is sort of like math. by a guy named William Poundstone, pretty interesting, but I will probably never read it.

“In 1948 economist Kenneth Arrow dropped a bombshell on political scientists. He proved that no voting system can be perfect. Poundstone’s eleventh book is a superb attempt to demystify Arrow’s amazing achievement, and to defend ‘range voting’ as the best voting system yet devised. His account is interwoven with a colorful history of American elections, from the corrupt politics of Louisiana to Ralph Nader as the ‘spoiler’ whose splitting of the Democratic votes helped elect George W. Bush. A chapter covers Lewis Carroll’s little-known valiant efforts to solve the voting problem. A raft of amusing political cartoons enliven Poundstone’s prose. There is no better introduction to the inescapable flaws and paradoxes of all voting systems than this eye-opening, timely volume.”—Martin Gardner, author of Are Universes Thicker than Blackberries? and more than 60 other titles

Hillary makes me want to spit Hester.

will type for food

I suppose it is not that I thought you were naive
it is because the world stinks
you say

it sounds like you gave up
but I am very selfish
narcissistic even

don't mind me
Have you ever been to Vernaon California, something in the air there. I think it was the rendering plant.

Funky air.

Maybe I should take you more literaly.

This is a good thread for me
I mean it focuses so much of what has been on my mind T-girl

I liked that Jimmy Buffett song a pirate looks at forty
the one everybody calls mother mother ocean.

I guess this like my swan song
A smuck looks at seventy
three more years Hes
I would really like to see the big seven oh

but it don't matter

Trying to see the world through a child's eyes
say twelve or thirteen maybe the last innocent years of childhood, or at least it was for me.
Now kids growing up so fast, entering puberty at earlier and earlier ages.

Is it something in the water?

AP Probe Finds Drugs in Drinking Water
-- A vast array of pharmaceuticals _ including antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones _ have been found in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans, an Associated Press investigation shows.
But the presence of so many prescription drugs _ and over-the-counter medicines like acetaminophen and ibuprofen _ in so much of our drinking water is heightening worries among scientists of long-term consequences to human health.

This new generation coming along is there any name for them yet, like the me generation, or the lost generation. I have heard them called gen X.

Beats me.

How do they see the world? Watched a kid on a show who raised a lot of money to get clean drinking water to desperate people in Africa. Another one who is trying to clean up the crap in the Chesapeake Bay.

Can we afford to indulge ourselves with hysteria.

So much stinks, in washington dc, the capitol of the fucking free world, rich country, beautiful city, marble statues, stately homes, imposting buidings and yet a hundred thousand homes still have lead water pipes bringing water to the children.

On one hand I have the luxury of being a bittler old man, but I think if I was a parent I could not indulge myself, I would have to believe in the future for the children's sake.

Thinking about the teacher in the middle east trying to keep up appearances for the children's sake.

What does stella think, does she think about stuff like the world condition yet?

Funny how you hardly read anything about the deformed frogs and the atrazine in the water.

Thinking about those old Greeks, the golden age, when did the world get so stinking screwed up.

What was the good old days in american democracy? Do you think there ever was one?

The world situation is desperate, was there a time when it was not.

Is it worse now?

Where is the know nothing party when I need them

I got no hostages to leave to the future hes
If I did have a child
I could never give up

Have you ever seen a movie called Life Is Beautiful. I have watched it about 15 times. Nine in Italian and six in English. A lot of people think it is a disgraceful movie, how dare he find humor in a story about the holocaust. But I thought it was a beautiful movie about a father's love for his child. It helped me get in touch with my own father, to find memories of how he loved me.

Unedited
open text box
gibberish
going to read it when I submit it.

everything is a go for me
nothing but a jam
like a cb conversation
I think I am going to stop
writting when the new studio eight site comes up
going to do everything as a spoken word piece, so I don't have to worry about sonic mistakes like no know there their, I make a lot of them
just this voice between my ears
telling me that winston tastes good like a cigarette should.

aiy yai yai
I going to hit the submit button under this text box and hope my computer blows up when I do so this text box will never appear.

you got a poetic liscense to drive an eighteen wheeler hester
fuck me
thinking about what I rote
hysteria

just my own
it was such a beautiful day when I read your post about something in the air. I guess I did feel like sniffing cabbage farts.

the air smelled so sweet after an early morning rain here
it was a real lift to my spirit
and I was thinking oh please don't bring me down.


Vernon California
I always wondered what it would be like to live down wind from that rendering plant.
Plenty folks do
poor folks

Obama talks about his poverty work in Chicago
I wonder what he has been doing for the poor folks in Washington DC.

Have you noticed he never talks about people much, we is just plain folks.

I remember a conversation among some trucker brothers.

One bro would always ask the other one, "How's your folks" and it would really piss the guy off. I always wanted to ask him why.

Just talking jive I guess,
he would talk about a beautiful woman that passed by and say
"the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice."

Did you notice how he kept sitting back up after every punch?
Tore me apart.

Enjoyed reading your thoughts Still, hope I didn't ruin a nice day for you or anything....

That video just really struck me.....
This whole election mess kinda blows me away.....

I think I go for naive rather than cynical too.
It's more fun.

Hill. hasn't preached her campaign from pulpits for months as BO has, shaken hands with various fundamentalists (xtian and muslim) nor questioned the 1st Amendment. BO also voted to reauthorize PatAct, and one might recall his praise of Reagan.

"Time loves a hero"

I hope I did not ruin your day
We will see.
