LIVE FROM OSAKA

Gordon's text indicates that the age group can't geographically evade feeling useless:

v O r T e X g2: we're a good marker for just exactly how far we've evolved from 316


but did you ever notice how easy everything was


v O r T e X g2: like how we don't really have to struggle for things, like safe chance falls our way and we get the 'satisfied' result we thought we maybe kinda wanted

v O r T e X g2: or something close

v O r T e X g2: like working in the town office and getting a pension when you really wanted to be president

v O r T e X g2: do you ever wonder what you're really capable of

(greatness=potential)

(potential= true ability)

(true ability=greatness)

(true ability is a condition only reached in the absence of laziness and misguidance and 'comfortability)


there for in the presence of

laziness

misguidance

and true ability

greatness is as achievable as the speed of light

what do you think about that (besides that I'm full of shi#)

v O r T e X g2: im out like a light

v O r T e X g2: lata, bro

v O r T e X g2: get your A game up

I hope he doesn't mind me posting this here. It's how a bio major would say what I think.

white people: at it again

First I saw that the FDNY's class valedictorian just beat up a newspaper stand owner for being a terrorist. Happy 9/11, muthafuckas!

Then, I had a conversation with an unemployed white person who knew what was behind the misery in New Orleans (all of the following quotes are real and were spoken to me in total seriousness/self-belief). "It's the niggers," this person said, noting how the television had showed black people spitting on the ground in the Astrodome and generally creating a hostile environment for the displaced white children. This person was also shocked to see images of blacks resting on cots in shelters while whites labored to drain and clean the city ("it's like our roles have reversed"). The person was also further angered by the image of one particularly large, female "nigger" who "looked like a gorilla." The tv showed said "nigger" resting with her child within the dome. "Why aren't they out looking for housing," I was asked. "They're lazy!"

Little else to say these last two weeks, in which the traveling college book salesman's death drive towards December has begun.
