Data Fragments: Heaven is Just Like This

http://naturespunk.blogspot.com/2015/03/heaven-is-just-like-this.html

Saturday, March 14, 2015. Heaven is Just Like This. The Gray Squirrels, busy with their practical obsessions are unaware of this. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I don't want this to be seen as a presentation of the things I have done, but rather as a sort of broken mirror, where the shards can be examined similar to a magic looking glass, saying that "I was here, and this is what I saw and learned, and these were my friends".

Data Fragments: Favorite Things, the next ten of fifty

http://naturespunk.blogspot.com/2013/12/favorite-things-next-ten-of-fifty.html

Tuesday, December 17, 2013. Favorite Things, the next ten of fifty. Next 10 of 50. A Friend of mine visited me in San Francisco once. Throughout the 80s he was a research engine on anything ‘underground’, and though he was never the type of person to wear it on his sleeve, being more interested in the contents of his passions more than personal credit, he is probably one huge force in supplying ‘cool people’ with their tastes in film and music. I can make sense of the 20. Century by looking at his canvas...

Data Fragments: and then I woke up

http://naturespunk.blogspot.com/2014/02/and-then-i-woke-up.html

Thursday, February 13, 2014. And then I woke up. After a while I notice a wonderful industrial machine, like a crane, but designed simply for pleasure. There is a line of people waiting to use it. One among them is a handsome young man flirting with me. He makes eye contact with me, and accomplishes several daring and impressive feats on the crane like structures, jumps off and immediately changes race, gender and age. The waves of boils continue. Wait wait wait wait…. And then I woke up.

Data Fragments: Thursday, October 17th

http://naturespunk.blogspot.com/2013/10/thursday-october-17th.html

Friday, October 18, 2013. Thursday, October 17th. For many reasons I have been celebrating a personal holiday every year on October 17. When it lands on a Thursday it extra special. There is a feeling in October that you are in the company of a very dear friend, and you both know for whatever reason you will not see each other in a very long time. So the feeling is a calm presence, yet very strong, and tinged with a bit of sadness. This year I spent my three days off leading to the 17.

Data Fragments: Dust on the Dash

http://naturespunk.blogspot.com/2014/08/dust-on-dash.html

Sunday, August 31, 2014. Dust on the Dash. There are moments when all the senses become heightened and agitated, excited about what they perceive and time simply dissolves. At these moments a person can wander through all the lives one has lived and slippery memory hardens like polished agate. It was in this damp warmth just such a moment came upon me and the interior of the car dissolves and reforms into car after car after car, ushering in memory after memory;. The musty smell of sex, muscle cramps and...

Data Fragments: How Far We Have Come. New Paintings by Eric Stotic

http://naturespunk.blogspot.com/2013/09/how-far-we-have-come-new-painting-by.html

Friday, September 6, 2013. How Far We Have Come. New Paintings by Eric Stotic. Earlier today I went to go see new paintings by Eric Stotik at the Laura Russo gallery in Northwest Portland. I have not seen Eric’s work in about 30 years, but the time back then is worth a story. Then the neighborhood was affordable, and most of my friends were part of the vibrant and fertile, as well as destructive and drug addled post punk scene, and many of us lived there. One of my domiciles then was a storefront on NW 21.

Data Fragments: Fire in the Belly. A biography of David Wojnarowicz

http://naturespunk.blogspot.com/2014/10/fire-in-belly-biography-of-david.html

Friday, October 24, 2014. Fire in the Belly. A biography of David Wojnarowicz. Hell is a place on Earth. Heaven is a place in your head. David Wojnarowicz. I bought the book, and later his others. David was an artist working in several medias. He was a writer, a film maker, a painter and musician. His memoir, close to the Knives was his war cry. That book, like Memories, contained beautiful texts, black with sorrow and rage. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Data Fragments: Moment

http://naturespunk.blogspot.com/2014/03/moment.html

Thursday, March 20, 2014. In describing a moment, or rather what one soul might feel at any given instant, it may well be said that the entire experience of time for that soul must be called upon, for that is what a moment is; all of time for one soul condensed, compressed and sealed in one instant. Should I say for instance, that while sitting in a car, he finished reading a novel? This describing of a moment is also a review of the novel, Seiobo There Below, by Laszlo Krasznahorkai. Speaking from the D...

Data Fragments: Post Revolution Blues

http://naturespunk.blogspot.com/2015/06/post-revolution-blues.html

Saturday, June 27, 2015. Footage of 1972’s Gay Pride shows white, gay hippie men sitting around on the grass while one of the brave fighters from Stonewall was heckled and ridiculed. It was heartbreaking to see this footage when I did some 30 years later, and I thought, “ Here it is, the beginning of the end. I spent the morning feeling as if it was the death of an era. I woke up this morning and felt I have outlived my life yet again. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.
