Tequila and Redbull.



Structuralism is historically and logically connected to Christian theology. In this statement I'm using a broad brush to cover all formalist arguments that ignore important contextual factors that contribute to the analysis of the logic to be used. These spheres of effect of these factors often range from the personal to the planetary. The main example of why context is not universal, cannot be overlooked is because we do not have a logic, a system of rules, ways of thinking, that don't breakdown when talking about a phenomena greater than this planetary life. We are never going to be able to imagine the ways in which how we (as we seems to ourselves) are never going to join with this immense imaginary thing. We are not autonomous to all this everything around us. If structuralism could show some evidence of it always being there for everyone all the time, I could understand and allow its notions that it can speak about people as classes. But it doesn't work, doesn't even make sense to use it all the time. This "everybody and everything" usage is about just abstractly applying a system of mathematics between a semiotic system and a distorted, veiled reality. It seems like it should work logically, but it isn't consistant, which undermines the basis of its structural forms. That's why all atheists should realize that they can't go throwing around structuralist arguments, and formalist ethics, to accurately describe and judge the complex relations across boundaries of imaginary ownership, genetic distinction, political and physical natures into what ends up being post-colonialism. Especially involving the "West," when "West" is suffice to say "Christian" (just as a very appropriate example). So atheists, even the ones who still feel some sort of mysterious greater(?) power, should just keep that in mind. I don't care what religion / spiritualism you call yourself, if you're an atheist there you go. If your not, your probably saying "My religion is benevolent to manking oops… mankind and society, not a pox of ignorance and lack of mental grace, as you seem to imply?"

To you I honestly say, in all the ways you can interpret this next quote,

“I welcome you to think again.”

A few little changes.

Those of you who check up on this blog, (are there any left?) might have noticed I changed the background and the description. I got rid of the killing the vampiric culture beast shit because I just am too tired to write that stuff all the time. Or I was too busy last semester to bother posting at all it seems. Any how I'm going to start writing on here again. And yeah I know I reference drinking, but hey if your're an alcoholic, you probably are too drunk to be offended, and if your on the wagon or you relative died becuase of alcoholism and you can no longer tolerate drinking...BOO FUCKING HOO! Haha I love taunting people using the written word cause they had to make the effort and interest to read this. Any ways blah blibity blah, and the background image is of Sturken's and White's The Elements of Style burning in a fireplace. I don't usally attend book burnings, this one was at a house warming party. Cheers!

It's a winning combination.

Today I went swimming, after aweek of putting it off. It's suprising how while living on a tropical isle with a beach right over that way... you'd think you go swimming all the time. That is what most of think while on vacation, Comedian Bill Hicks put it in perspective, "Oh if we could just live at the beach... Could you imagine that? Livin' at the Beach ! What's the freakin' deal? It's where dirt where meets water." Still, I feel like an idiot for only going to the beach like 4 times in the last 9 months. One thing I think we are all aware of is the post swimming lazyness that hits you after you come home and take a long shower, and lat naked on the sheets and let the fan's breeze caress you dry... as you drift off into a TV wonderland where every thing is clean and bright, smells are just a concept, you are thin and have two adorable children, and every knows how happy you are by the insipid plastic grin you parade about to friends and strangers alike. Then you wake up and realize oh shit I'm hungry let find soome pizza, and put some sundried tommatoes and faux hamburger, and red pepper flakes, and don't you forget those mushrooms! But something is missing. Ah yes a cool refreshing drink of ice, orange juice, tangerine tequila, blackberry schnaaps, and splash of cranberry and lime for me, and frozen stawberry banana coconut daquiri for the misses. Eat our pizza watch some stand up and seconds on drinks. yeah I love summer. It reminds me of my second favorite Simpsons quote, "Alcohol and night swimming, it's a winning combination!" spoken not by Homer but Lenny.
