The End of Productivity…but not really.

The end is here, my friends…or is it?
In parts 1 and 2 of The Productivity series I’ve made a case for the illusions we use to convince ourselves of anything but the only Truth concerning the human race. In short, Sex = Success.
In closing, I will touch upon certain factions of society which might [...]

Being productive leads to Nothing…kind of.

To immediately pick up where I left off in my previous post, self-production, through the act of sexual intercourse, would seem to be the only form of productivity worthy of our collective and mutual efforts. As I’m wont to do, I’ll break it down to the core in layman’s terms:
An adult person, man or [...]

Productivity is almost a lie.

I’m going to try to make this short and sweet, just like me. Productivity is almost a lie. Check it out: all of our lives, we’re pushed to be productive. It’s the only way to be if we’re to consider ourselves successful by any means. Procrastination, laziness, and being idle [...]

Missed Connections: Online Dating.

Posted by anonymous:
“I decided to take the plunge at the end of last year and join match.com. I don’t know what anyone else’s experience with this site has been, I thought it would be an interesting way to meet members of the opposite sex, since the bar scene just wasn’t doing it for me. I [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day

Chernobyl Heart 
It has to do with the heart, in more ways than one, so I felt it appropriate to repost this old blog here for Valentine’s Day.
Don’t forget the chocolates and fucking!  The teddybears and sucking!  The flowers and schmucking!
And for those of you crying over the fact that you don’t have someone fawning over [...]

I don’t believe in God, but I miss Him.

“Alex Brilliant was reading Wittgenstein at sixteen, and writing poetry that rippled with ambiguities — double, triple, quadruple, like heart bypasses.  He took a scholarship to Cambridge, after which I lost sight of him;  but I would occasionally think of him down the years, assuming that he had forged ahead in one of the liberal professions.  [...]

I can fill your void.

About a week or so ago, a friend of mine gave me his perspective on a delicate matter.  I respect his opinion one-hundred percent, mainly because the subject of his opinion fell under his jurisdiction, or expertise, so to speak.
 The conversation has been running through my mind over and over, as I can’t tell if [...]

Freedom/Give and Take/Real v. Fake/ Controversy and Advice (in short, BLABBER)

This should be taken as counsel on both sides of the bed, including persons on the same side of the XX/XY chromosome chain - on the same bed.  This blabber came to me as I read a dead man’s definition of freedom, equality, power, consciousness, command and action, command v. action, and love.  The passages [...]

Sunday Night Special

On Sunday night, my local haunt held a benefit concert for a friend who was lost to violence.  The proceeds went to his five remaining children.  As the event was to be held on a night the place is closed, and on a night when most folks hit the sack early in preparation for Monday [...]

If only I could keep my hands busy.

Debauchery masks depression in a cloud of boozy exaltation.
