Day of Mourning

I live in California and today I felt saddened by what the media reported..this is not what I live for. 1. Rice contains arsenic and consuming it daily is going to kill me soon - now I have to go back to downing more alcohol by skipping all the fermentation that I was doing naturally by eating rice daily; 2. Zuckerberg is now the 36th richest (not paying attention or taxes) dude amongst all dudes and dudettes that live - see I hate to see my state lose the top 10 ranking in anything including the number of richest dudes in the state - cramps my style; 3. Neither contender for the top job as Pres has what it takes to fix this mess we are in..we are not even sure what we need.. for that matter we are stuck trying to define what a need is. Indeed. 4. There will be no shuttle - not the cock - the one that flies further than the cock variety - to the Intl Space Station and back. Last one is coming to roost in Los Angeles - interested parties can watch it fly piggy back on a Boeing (shuttle not the parties) in their neighborhood if they are part of the 99% and therefore jobless. There will however be parties to celebrate that last flight. 5. 99% of something believers celebrated a year of rallying and vigils about their dissatisfaction with something that is 1% of some other thing. On a separate note Romney announced knowledge of some other 47% that are neither the 99% or the 1% since the latter is physically impossible. The other 53% agreed that such comments were 100% moronic. I have 0% energy left to discuss anything anymore.

Of Jims and Johns

Here is another essay on the subject of first names. As in birth names. Or names provided to an offspring at birth. While the developed world tends to shy away from the exotic like Refrigerator or Coca Cola for their new production there is a plethora of Jims and Johns and Bobs or Robs. Speaking of which I do not think there is a categoric decision point at the time of birth if a child will be hereafter called as Bob. I mean have not yet met a toddler called Bob or Rob for that matter. At some point though the parental instinct to mouth out multiple syllables runs out and they switch from calling the crawler Robert to simply Robbie to Rob. Now speaking of - it is strange that the name sounds like something you would not want Rob to do - i.e. Rob anyone. Then why call someone that? After all Rob Peter to Pay Paul is not exactly a maxim to live a young life? Is it? Perhaps Peter or Paul might want to have a say in it? Then there is this matter of going to the John. Why degrad...

But What If We're Wrong?

I attempted to read this book by author Chuck Klosterman backward to forward but it started hurting my brain so I decided to stop and do it like any other publication in the English language.  Start from page 1 and move to the right. Witty, caustic and thought provoking this is a book you want to read if you believe that the status quo might, just might be wrong. At times bordering on being contrarian about most things around us it tries to zero in on the notion of what makes anything believable and certain in our minds.  The fact that there is a fact itself is ironic.  Something analogous to the idea that you can never predict the future because there is no future. Many books and movies have tried to play on this concept - best that I recollect (I think I am) was 'The Truman Show'.  This book by Klosterman attempts to provoke the reader to at least contemplate that what they think they know may be wrong. He uses examples like concept of gravity, and how it ...

Presumptive Society

Today's world is hyper connected.  I am not so sure what it means but you hear it a lot.  It is probably hyper but not sure how connected it is.  Sugar (fermented or not) is available in many ways than before and so getting hyper is easy.  It is probably more a threat than cocaine since it is sold legally. And what is this connected stuff?  Most people I encounter seem disconnected from reality.  So going back to this assumption that we are connected there are subtle and no so subtle instances of how brands and companies and middle men try to portray someone - A linkedin profile for somebody working for X years at a place advertises to the connected network that so and so is CELEBRATING X years @ Such and Such Inc. Do we know if (s)he is celebrating or cringing?  Perhaps a better way to portray will be - So and So LASTED X years @ such & such inc. Then it exhorts the readership to go ahead and congratulate them for this lasting effe...
