Isn't it beautiful? No? Can't appreciate it? Not until you "solve" it?
OK, it's a long exposure of a girl jumping with a burning rope.
Does that feel better? Or worse?
It's good to know that you can tolerate a mystery. posted by PABLO GAZPACHOT at 2:17 AM









Tickle your ass with a homunculus? what a picture
Is the art life (as David Lynch calls it) one of the most evolved forms a human life can take? Or the least participatory? posted by PABLO GAZPACHOT at 3:48 PM










Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) had one line redacted from his speech, which suggested some conservatives need to serve time in prison. The original line read: “They’re asking for another four years — in a just world, they’d get 10 to 20.” posted by PABLO GAZPACHOT at 10:18 AM

comment -I'd also like to know which breed, once lost or abandoned, most often finds its way back to its human companions. The stories of long distance treks (by cats, too), just slay me. And what about a lovingness quotient, which must also be a form of intelligence. I know of a male Lab who mothered a litter of kittens, grooming them and carrying one of them about in his mouth each day.

Do it again...

..don't think it's appropriate for a puma to leap like this any more. I don't know if it is an enforceable, legal infringement of the Puma logo.. posted by PABLO GAZPACHOT at 9:16 AM






...even as someone who is generally fashion unaware, I do notice and appreciate interesting fashion that is less about locale and more about unexpected individual expression. The right gesture of genuine eccentricity, the right accessory, when it matches or enhances the character of the wearer, can be exhilarating. posted by PABLO GAZPACHOT at 9:53 AM

...I would encourage you to NOT relinquish your connection to purity and authenticity no matter how pale and petty they may seem against the backdrop of the 21st Century. I know I'm paddling up a river here, but I believe a society is defined by the strength of its individual voices - Voices that stem from an "unsullied" creative core. Once we abandon purity and authenticity (ostensibly because they are meaningless, vaporous terms), we destabilize the compass that processes the world around us, we lose touch with the deep psychic images and messages that give us ideals and standards to hold up against reality. We lose the spirit of rebellion and intervention that sets us apart from thriving power structures that would gladly have us believe that purity and authenticity are valueless. posted by PABLO GAZPACHOT at 10:25 AM

Isn't it a funny thought that in this strange dream of life, that we allow ourselves to be governed, to be told what we can and can not do? Who's interrupting your rapture? What are they offering? posted by PABLO GAZPACHOT at 1:03 PM

all the way back to [August 2007] The dangerous playmate is coveted and crowned for their natural ability, in private, to seize the moment, buck convention, voraciously spark the imagination, lift the spirits by sheer example, challenge the mind, and terrify the soul. But it ain't all serious. In fact, the most dangerous skill of all is the ability to inspire true,
uncontrollable
laughter. posted by PABLO GAZPACHOT at 11:38 AM (...ofachild)

...Laughter, fear, exasperation, fury, elation, etc. can keep sorrow, boredom, self-loathing, lingering peacefulness, loneliness, etc. at bay, at least in the short term. This is the stuff of opera. Remember: There's no slaughter without laughter! posted by PABLO GAZPACHOT at 9:37 AM


The Internet has unleashed enormous waves of innovation and personal expression, it's just that there's really not much of a way for the cream to rise to the top. Creative chaos is the flavor of the day - in some ways it's a very Utopian state for a society to achieve, however, it necessarily implodes under the magnificent weight of its unsupported output. What is the infrastructure of a dream, man?
