KEIDIS IS SUMMER

bad seed

               




                 Year flew past, I have 7 weeks left of my degree and so much rage in my soul for this systematic wank we call tertiary education.....

I'M NOT A 20-SOMETHING METRO-ANARCHIST WHO HEAVILY INVLOVES MYSELF IN PUBLIC PROTESTS... but I do hold a speck of repulsion to my degree and my government respectively...

               We had a dinner party on Monday night and the inevitable table-topic of politics came up.... notice by my passive, passive-aggressive air? I'm obviously left wing. I think of Aus politics as a dichotomy (LaborvLib)wherein the idiom 'lesser of two evils' will never apply anymore.

               

I don't want this post to be on politics though.. I hate love the stuff.. I just wanted to address my angst re my degree.. its come of a time where kids will cheat cause they want the grade over the education.

jump topic| I went and saw 20,000 days on earth last night (Nick Cave Biopic)... most emotionally twisting/provoking//arousing thing I've seen in my outta school days... very igniting stuff... listen to higgs boson blues; I was in tears this time last year on a London to Melbourne flight, I listened to Push the Sky Away (hear here) - it was not a singer performing to you, but a for you kinda trip , ya know those ones?

keep feeling,

summer's coming

 

 

White-on-white in the summer equals a definite fashion winner (just make sure not to sit on grass). I think Tuula from TuulaVintage in the top image on the left has got the perfect length trousers especially since their white. I really like the white blazer in the Mango look coupled with a belt - it tidies up the look if you need that formal edge.

For S/S look I'll probably always be a fan of the shirt blouse plus shorts you just can't go wrong with it.

How can a three-pound mass of jelly that you can hold in your palm imagine angels, contemplate the meaning of infinity, and even question its own place in the cosmos? Especially awe inspiring is the fact that any single brain, including yours, is made up of atoms that were forged in the hearts of countless, far-flung stars billions of years ago.  These atoms now form a conglomerate- your brain- that can not only ponder the very stars that gave it birth but can also think about its own ability to think and wonder about its own ability to wonder. With the arrival of humans, it has been said, the universe has suddenly become conscious of itself. This, truly, it the greatest mystery of all.”

― V.S. Ramachandran, The Tell-Tale Brain: A Neuroscientist’s Quest for What Makes Us Human

i am her daughter.     if someone shows you a meaningful song or their favorite poem or you ever get to hear that person talk about something they’re passionate about you better fucking listen because that person is probably spilling their heart and soul to you in one simple gesture and you better be honored because imagine just how hard it is for someone to tell someone that.

Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye.
Hey hey, my my.

Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behaviour and information processing. They open you up to the possibility that everything you know is wrong.

—Terrence McKenna

 

 

WAAAAAR, CHILDREN -

IT' JUST A SHOT AWAY

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here’s Tom with the Weather.

if it is correct, as I believe it is, that a fundamental element of human nature is the need for creative work, for creative inquiry, for free creation without the arbitrary limiting effect of coercive institutions, then, of course, it will follow that a decent society should maximise the possibilities for this fundamental human characteristic to be realised. That means trying to overcome the elements of repression and oppression and destruction and coercion that exist in any existing society, ours for example, as a historical residue - Chomsky

 

Fear and Loathing in Albury Wodonga

My alone feels so good, I’ll only have you if you’re sweeter than my solitude.

 

 

 

Finished Hunter S. Thompson's "Fear and Loathing in Las vegas" and my god, what a mindfuck. an absolute trip. and i'll not be wrong in saying it's a definite must read over christmas.

 

Give me novocaine

incomplete and obsolete. the agony and ecstasy of living my life with my head screwed on backwards; with the veins in my brain wired wrong; with the blood and the bleed and the bled; with all the things i’ve never said. it’s all left and right and wrong. there is pleasure in this pain. you don’t have a head until you’ve been hung. you don’t have anything until you’ve lost it all. give it all away. the things that matter, don’t. run, run, run as fast as you can. poke your eye until you cry. you could have it all. this empire of lust and life and greed and gluttony. love yourself because in the end it’s just you and whoever is in your head.

 

I never really know what’s on my mind. I find it difficult to separate thoughts, ideas and images from darkness and solitude. My mind is another being, and my body is purely under its control. Right now, i’m trying so hard to squeeze any sense and any rationality into this answer that I feel as though I have ventured far away from where i’m supposed to be. I don’t know where i’m supposed to be.

1. Freud’s Structure of Personality (id, ego, superego) and Psychosexual Stages (oral, anal, phallic, latency, genital) are seemingly no longer relevant in psychology.

 I have spent most of my life abandoning myself. some days I feel that I am watching myself live. it’s as if I spend 365 days watching myself run in circles. and I find myself running away from my own life. only to run back into it.

you are here

Your consciousness could be streaming into your brain from light years away, from another dimension. Your consciousness might as well be another dimension. If you really try and feel, feel everything at once, you can feel gravity pulling on you, seemingly more so on your skin than your bones. Your bones are as dry as a statue made of stone in the middle of the desert. Your consciousness could be flowing into you from another world. your consciousness is not your consciousness. Or, your consciousness has never ever come in contact with your brain… your brain is just a satellite, a receiver. Maybe it’s just the pineal gland. Perhaps DMT is much more than what it seems to be. Perhaps DMT is a substance that really does allow you to see your consciousness

Man simply is.

dont be boring. People sometimes ask me, ‘If things are so bad, why don’t you just kill yourself?’ The answer is that life is really, really good. I am a complex enough being that I can hold in my heart the understanding that we are really, really fucked, and at the same time that life is really, really good. I am full of rage, sorrow, joy, love, hate, despair, happiness, satisfaction, dissatisfaction, and a thousand other feelings. We are really fucked. Life is still really good.
 
Either Twain or Einstein said that education interferes with learning (who knows, internet?) and i am not liking these educators at the moment. in fact, i dont want to do this anymore. Literally, psychologist means ‘one who studies the soul’, we think of it as a scary word in our harsh-sounding, Germanic language, but it actually means something really beautiful. I also like that it is ambiguous as to whether it’s me studying my own soul, or yours, or you studying my soul, or me asking you to study your own. It’s like a big impossible object that goes around and around. shame, really, La Trobe.


I’m a beautiful feminine Pegasus, and my IQ’s zero. When you’re as lovely as I am, you have no need for an IQ.

Close your eyes, let your hands and nerve-ends drop, stop breathing for 3 seconds, listen to the silence inside the illusion of the world, and you will remember the lesson you forgot.

Marina Abramovic and her lover/collaborator Ulay performing “Death Self”. This performance consisted of the two artists seated in front of each other, connected at the mouth. They took in each other’s breaths until all of their available oxygen had been used up. The performance lasted only 17 minutes, resulting in both artists collapsing unconscious to the floor, having filled their lungs with carbon dioxide. This personal piece explored the idea of an individual’s ability to absorb the life of another person, exchanging and destroying it.

 

 

 

it just occurred to me that when you reminisce on your memories they don’t seem real and then you question if they were and maybe they weren’t and in that case the past never happened and so then maybe the present isn’t happening either - fuckyeah mind blown
