com et va? :: anar tirant

i would never put my money down on the Electric Light Orchestra if i were you.

this morning i saw a fellow student buying FOUR smirnoff ice at 10:00 am, and of course i thought of nick reynolds.

a paradox? a misunderstanding.

when a notion/concept/idea/understanding is first introduced into our minds, it´s semantic space is like that of an inflated balloon, that goes getting shaved down more and more processionally where the nature of said concept is revealed to us, exactified.

what seems paradoxical to me is the fact that the more this semantic space is narrowed, the more it becomes part of our subjective reality, the more proper the idea is to us, to our own minds, BUT, at the same time, this shaving down also puts us in touch with objectivity, in a way, a connection with the shared concepts of our socio-cultural reality, a sort of shared definition, if you will for me, a nearness...for example, all us angloamericans probably share more similarity in our concept of what it means to be poor than say, joe mbuutuu from botswana. but on the individual level thinking that our conceptions can often reach an equality is ridiculous, maybe. that and language is the bastard. language isn´t innocent...it´s a representation, it´s a lie.

this seems paradoxical. or it doesn´t make any sense.

i need to buy some flip flops.

you, why do you always feel the need to situate yourself in space and time?

"i exist, i exist", yeah, keep telling yourself that. asshole.

btw, zach, the south american woman thing is a bust. i haven't really seen her around. maybe i imagined her. but if anything unfolds, you'll be the first to know.
