somewhat related topic: did you know that the remote control goes next to the TV, in case someone were to step on it?

Yes, but I prefer to keep mine on the floor under my bed so that I can step on it every single morning, yet defying all ontological realities and basic laws of physics, it survives unscathed, relatively.

there is plenty of entertainment to be had when it comes to scott & zelda though. e.g. - http://www.nytimes.com/books/00/12/2...ald-hem72.html

okay, easy route or more interesting route?
I have to decide whether I write a paper about Kathy Acker and Feminism (easy, I did my feminism homework in 8th grade already) or Kathy Acker and Burroughs.
The thing is, I have to hand this shit in on March 15, along with two other assignments I haven't started yet...

parkinson's law states that work expands to fill the time allotted for its completion.

maybe read this and enjoy some time off:

I see you ascribe to the African conception of time, which Ethiopians refer to as "Habesha time"

Originally Posted by Richard Kapuscinski

The European and the African have an entirely different concept of time. In the European worldview, time exists outside man, exists objectively, and has measurable and linear characteristics. According to Newton, time in absolute: “Absolute, true, mathematical time of itself and from its own nature, it flows equably and with relation to anything external.” The European feels himself to be time’s slave, dependent on it, subject to it. To exist and function, he must observe its ironclad, inviolate laws, its inflexible principles and rules. He must heed deadlines, dates, days and hours. He moves within the rigors of time and cannot exist outside them. They impose upon him their requirements and quotas. An unresolvable conflict exists between man and time, one that always ends with man’s defeat – time annihilates him.

Africans apprehend time differently. For them, it is a much looser concept, more open, elastic, subjective. It is man who influences time, its shape, course and rhythm (man acting, of course, with the consent of gods and ancestors). Time is even something that man can create outright, for time is made manifest through events, and whether an event takes place or not depends, after all, on man alone. If two armies do not engage in a battle, then that battle will not occur (in other words, time will not have revealed its presence, will not have come into being).

Time appears as a result of our actions, and vanishes when we neglect or ignore it. It is something that springs to life under our influence, but falls into a state of hibernation, even nonexistence, if we do not direct our energy toward it. It is a subservient, passive essence, and, most importantly, one dependent on man.

The absolute opposite of time as it is understood in the European worldview.

In practicial terms, this means that if you go to a village where a meeting is scheduled for the afternoon but find no one at the appointed spot asking, “When will the meeting take place?” makes no sense. You know the answer: “It will take place when people come.”"

it's called lazy-ass. Puerto Ricans are the masters of this.

I don't see being super productive people as having a major impact on the world news on a regular basis so I'm glad lazy people exist and reproduce. No protestant or whatever ethic for me, thanks.

productivity is great to open up more time off. do your shit in half the time, sleep off the rest of the workday.

problem is, people try to cram more work instead. which is horrible.

Yup. I follow the How High approach.. Study high. Take the test high. Get high scores!

Damn Americans, why can't we just let it go? We work more hours and do more work in those hours than any other developed nation, even Japan!

That was my point exactly. Most people I see being busy all the time don't seem to produce much of worth.

or watch other people do your job and then fall asleep, during working hours.
I've seen that happen, stupid motherfuckin' Indian guy

[Rob Instigator]

if you are always busy working, and exhausted when you are not, then that leaves little time to think about how THE MAN IS RAPING YOU
