I am not "a local"! I am not "(an)other culture"! I am (believe it not), just me-kins...

MISSION: 'well you won´t believe this gang but ´tis to teach GENERATIVE anthropology in what americanos now call ´pre-islamic europa´! So there!

ABOUT ME

ALL about me? perish the thought!
i am drastically uncompromised
and suffer to this day for that sin
and am said to be possessed of, at the worst BY (but probably not), an "over-inclusive mind"
..so what do you think so far?
i am way too mr. cleverpants to be allowed into one of these free-range boxes on my own!
so i´ll bounce right on out again before i lay an EGG or something!

PHILOSOPHY

okay, so, when the 'lion lies down with the lamb' does the L GET DOWN WITH the L or does the lion just become lamb-like?

For surely that is but brutal annexation and 'imperialism' on the part of the lamb?

That is simply the lamb absorbing the lion instead of the lion eating the lamb!

The real problem is -- can the lion lie down with the lamb and still retain his royal ferocity? And the lamb its docility, its... its *douceur*?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

the first ever CS meeting i attended was in Amsterdam Holland, and i got so despondent there! And still the man kept blowing his bubble-maker and wafting bubbles over everybody, apparently to assure us that we were definitely all having a good time! I ended up weeping on the sidewalk, crying copious amounts of tears, as my debut in both Amsters and CS had dissolved into hideous amounts of custard JUST LIKE THAT

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

highly tentative to say the least! many many overtures, very few subsequent symphonies.. in fact, often not so much as a follow-up email! How can this be, you ask.. what is it that you DID, kid? Well i done wrote an individual, 'personalized' message to every CS'er i ever contacted, and never ever did i routinize my procedure once.. and what did i get for my pains? A GIANT SAFETY-PIN THROUGH THE TEMPLES! Whaaaa...

NB: that is not a marijuana plant in the pic above. It is an unknown (to me) variety of South American foliage. I'm not a stoner myself but have no real problem (most of the time!) with the stoned :)

Music, Movies, and Books

these are subject to wavering alignments and shifting associations all...
but here for the sake of it are nine of the best from recent "visitations" to cinema, which are not recent at all anymore! Basically, i just, i just, i 'just gave up on the movies'!
1)Junebug (the very deepest of southern charms)
2)Mysterious Skin (fisting the baseball coach & alien abductions!)
3)Me and You & Everyone We Know (Miranda July - need one say more?)
4)Bully (teen revenge goes spectacularly pear-shaped in Florida-da..)
5)Songcatcher (Lesbos & ancient tunes at play 'midst the blue rolling hills of West Virginie)
6)Black Snake Moan (large bluesy black man vs. diminutive 'nymphomaniac')
7) Monster (Charlize Theron as Aileen Wuornos!)
8) Nashville (rightly known as a sheer f**kin' masterpiece)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

realized that i was not actually capable of ASSISTING a physically handicapped person in achieving sexual gratification, even when being prompted and getting paid by a government to do so? No matter HOW MUCH LOVE i imagined myself to be 'in possession of'?

Teach, Learn, Share

i am hoping very much that someone somewhere sometime could go so far as to teach me, warbling j turpitude, the gift of ORGANIZATION

oh lord but i REALLY MEAN THAT
