Events have overtaken me. No new piece this week. Here’s one worth seeing again from a few years back:

HACK № 42: The Weaning of Life
Howdy Meltedcheesedeks, welcome to the forty-second continuation of HACK. If you’ve made it this far, there’s a silver lining just over that horizon behind you.
OK folks, here’s how this is going to play out. First I write a few self-referential paragraphs to get it out of my system, while simultaneously holding everything else in. Next, a nice little story about Vineland, NJ to help us forget that any of this is (not) real. Finally, a bunch of unrelated, recently taken pictures. If we have a deal, you may read on… READ MORE »
I Don’t Belong Here: Same-Sex Marriage? More Like LAME-Sex Marriage!
I’m just going to put this one up in the air, because I guess someone has to. There is no legitimate argument against same-sex marriage. None! Or rather, put more accurately, any legitimate argument against same-sex marriage is also an argument against marriage itself in general. That’s the shape of it. I’d rather be talking about Batman villains right now, but there we are. What? You’re confused? Oh, no, I didn’t say there weren’t any arguments against same-sex marriage, just that they’re all stupid and wrong! Let’s run down some of them so I can underline this point.
I Don’t Belong Here: Marriage Is For Tools
Marriage is for tools. Now wait, before the irrational reptilian part of your brain begins to immediately object. Let me explain. I do not mean to imply that if you are married, you are a tool. I am actually trying to directly come and state it. That marriage is for tools. You tool. Okay. NOW feel free for your reptilian emotional response. I’m just saying, I’m not drinking the Kool-Aid on this one, gang. Inflammatory remarks aside, marriage is an antiquated social institution that dates back to the days when human beings were considered property. Like? SLAVERY. Just. Saying. People aren’t property. Humans have invented all sorts of new meanings for marriage on a semantic and social level, but at the underlying core it is still about property. At least that’s how I see it through the lens of my outsider logic.
My Substantial Affair With Life: Put Change In Gear
Put Change In Gear
You are indeed food to my soul
never any more fruit I have ever seen in my bowl.
It’s like you feed me life,
Its important that you know
you make me feel vibrant now
And that life really resounds of goodness and amazing magic.
My Substantial Affair With Life: Anahata
Every weekday morning nearly without fail, I run into this little girl when I stumble outside with my dog and cup of tea. Always with a blended spirit of caution and carefree joy, she would walk in the same direction with the same leap in her step no matter what weather. Watching her, she reminds me of how constant and promising Life can be just as much as she easily reminds me of all the natural disasters that manage to happen within. The way she goes forward is so assertive and greatly contradicts the way she responds to my thirteen year old dog; the second she sees my dog from a friendly walking distance, her sense of assertion melts into a puddle of crumbly mud within the blink of an eye. No matter how small an encounter with someone else, it can serve one like a mountain of sight. Enlightening or confirming, it is connected to you because you took in the sighting. Now it is the way we direct the retina of our mental filters to receive what is constantly taking place before us. Only one would need to keep an eye open, the eye that absorbs the spectrum of Living. I am talking about the School of Life. READ MORE »
I Don’t Belong Here: Phoning It In (The Best Of New Sun Rising)
Yeah, so, I’m phoning it in this week. What can I say? The life of a social revolutionary and mental explorer doesn’t always leave time for new content. Personal issues. So here’s some things I already wrote, over at the blog no one reads, and, by virtue of being from the blog that no one reads, may as well be new. So, together again for the first time, the wit and wisdom of Noel R. Rogers, padded out with accompanying surreal original art: READ MORE »
