Is facebook giving me an alternate consciousness -one far less competent or independent? why am i thinking/doing anything in terms of audience? </div>

Luckily my blogs don't have that kind of delusional grandeur. I know nobody looks at the blogs, based on statistical data I can look at. Only very random, mostly failed google searches. It's very freeing....not that I don't still have an inner monologue that speaks as if acting out a part, I do...but there's something uniquely symbolic in my life to the act of performing for an empty theatre. That truth started for me when I realized that I wasn't being watched all the time, by a god, by the government (knock knock...the pun reverses the purposeful result), or by anyone as long as I was able to be alone. </div>

It's realizing you're alone, while still entertaining the feeling that there's someone watching. And there is, the (false) Self. </div>

I do not like the blogs as my form of keeping a journal or diary. I don't know why I've taken to this modality. The obvious answer is course, ease and speed and multi-media aspect of it....and I like glowing pixels. But I miss the books I once poured into. Even if I rarely finished one page for page. The feeling of paper and ink and paint, and the weight of a book. </div>

Afterthought: It's the moments in life where you loose this sense of voyeurism of the ego -that it's looking back at itself- where you truly live. Emptiness, sunyata, what have you...it's the void -the singularity that observes and does not observe itself, that is the true Self, peeled of the conscious layers until left naked and unquestioning. No mirror, no projection. Just subject. </div>QUINN AVERY DAVIShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17636262819982174938noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2084011422351028401.post-2708879143194678512012-06-21T10:47:00.000-07:002012-06-21T10:47:17.967-07:00VALID QUESTION<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Potentially too controversial for prospective employers, this new piece will have to land here for now. Which is goofy but true. It's really more of a commentary on our societies collective newfound habit of worshiping technology -which I call "iDolotry"- than anything to do with Christianity. (Crucifixion was a form punishment used by several major civilizations before the Roman Empire, and after.) Every time I see the masses with their heads down and hands clasped around their little phones and iPods or whatever, completely oblivious and their minds somewhere else literally high in the sky, it looks like praying to me. Brings a whole new perspective on "Cloud" technology and divine (AKA wireless) inspiration. The satellites are our angels beaming down at us from heaven, protecting us from not knowing who's posted to our Facebook...<br />
<br />
A note about the logo: One friend told me this could be a meme (I had to look it up and still didn't get it. So another friend clarified, and told me to put a watermark on it. I later got paranoid and agreed, but I think it makes it look silly/poppy. I tried my hardest to make it look like the QAD was designed for it.<br />
<br />
UPDATE:<br />
<br />
Just happened upon this in a stack of papers, must be Lara's. But check the logo and compare it to the one I developed. Pretty odd coincidence...<br />

Or at least it would seem that way. This bank arson attempt leaves me perplexed. Was it fueled (yes pun) by the Occupy movement?? Or did the bomber receive extemporaneous surcharges on all of his savings account like I did? I would like to sit down and have tea with this person, ask him/her some questions.<br />

If anyone has questions about F.I.C. (Feline Idiopathic Cystitis), feel free to consult me. Vet's can be suspiciously uninformative. Their pet health care system mirrors our own. For example, I had to pay $30 for subcutaneous fluids (i.e. 125 cc's of sterile saline, i.e. salt water.) My Pops ran into the exact same type of what he called "extortion" from the elder care center when his folks were on their way out, for i.v. drip bags (1 Liter of saline), costing $45. He inquired the hospital about how much they buy theirs wholesale: 1 dollar, twenty five cents.QUINN AVERY DAVIShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17636262819982174938noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2084011422351028401.post-25550862677510489912011-10-31T10:00:00.000-07:002011-10-31T10:00:45.822-07:00GABBA GABBA HEY, GET OFF MY CLOUD!Halloween weekend show at the Blue Moon Tavern.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The Fun's in the Fight</b></span><br />
By Molly Ivins<br />
<br />
Austin, Texas--<br />
<br />
I've been talkin' to a bunch of the fun-lovin' freedom-fighters of Texas lately, and we all agree that there's one thing we need to pass on to all of y'all from the few of us before I take a leave from these pages. (I'm takin' a leave of absence on account of I have to write a book, and time has become both scant and precious.) The thing is this: You got to have fun while you're fightin' for freedom, 'cause you don't always win. <br />
<br />
Havin' fun while freedom fightin' must be one of those lunatic Texas traits we get from the water--which is known to have lithium in it-- because it goes all the way back to Sam Houston, surely the most lovable, the most human, and the funniest of all the Great Men this country has ever produced. While Sam was president of the Republic of Texas, he was visited by a French ambassador.<br />
<br />
This Frog was quite the wonder of frontier Austin; he minced along the wooden sidewalks wearing a silk suit with lace at the collar and cuffs, with a gilt epee, no less, slung along his side. Though Sam had a perfectly good fine house, he elected to receive the Frenchman in a log hut with a mud floor. By choice a sometime Indian, Sam wore only fringed leggings and a blanket around his big ol' hairy chest. <br />
While the French ambassador held forth grandiloquently, Houston, who was himself a magnificent orator, replied only with an occasional, "Ugh." <br />
<br />
Our Texas freedom-fighters have been prone to misbehavior ever since. A recent Ku Klux Klan rally in Austin produced an eccentric counter- demonstration. When the fifty Klansmen appeared (they were bused in from Waco) in front of the state capitol, they were greeted by five thousand locals who had turned out for a "Moon the Klan" rally. Citizens dropped trou both singly and in groups, occasionally producing a splendid wave effect. It was a swell do. <br />
<br />
But I reckon the man who taught most of us how to have fun while fightin' for freedom was John Henry Faulk, who went and died on us a few years back. Despite gettin' blacklisted during the McCarthy Era and having a number of other misadventures during his life, Johnny never lost his sense of mischief, and, to the end of his days, he could be counted on to hatch some elaborate practical joke to bedevil whichever do-badder had most recently and most egregiously harmed the cause of liberty and justice for all. <br />
<br />
Johnny used to tell a story about when he was a Texas Ranger, a captain in fact. He was seven at the time. His friend Boots Cooper, who was six, was sheriff, and the two of them used to do a lot of heavy law enforcement out behind the Faulk place in south Austin. One day Johnny's mama, having two such fine officers on the place, asked them to go down to the hen house and rout out the chicken snake that had been doing some damage there. <br />
<br />
Johnny and Boots loped down to the hen house on their trusty brooms (which they tethered outside) and commenced to search for the snake. They went all through the nests on the bottom shelf of the hen house and couldn't find it, so the both of them stood on tippy-toes to look on the top shelf. I myself have never been nose-to-nose with a chicken snake, but I always took Johnny's word for it that it will just scare the living shit out of you. Scared those boys so bad that they both tried to exit the hen house at the same time, doing considerable damage to both themselves and the door. <br />
<br />
Johnny's mama, Miz Faulk, was a kindly lady, but watching all this, it struck her funny. She was still laughin' when the captain and the sheriff trailed back up to the front porch. "Boys, boys, " said Miz Faulk, "what is wrong with you? You know perfectly well a chicken snake cannot hurt you." <br />
That's when Boots Cooper made his semi-immortal observation. "Yes ma'am," he said, "but there's some things'll scare you so bad, you hurt yourself." <br />
<br />
And isn't that what we keep doing in this country, over and over again? We get scared so bad--about the communist menace or illegal immigration or AIDS or pornography or violent crime, some damn scary thing--that we hurt ourselves. We take the odd notion that the only way to protect ourselves is to give up some of our freedom--just trim a little, hedge a bit, and we'll all be safe after all. <br />
<br />
Those who think of freedom in this country as one long, broad path leading ever onward and upward are dead damned wrong. Many a time freedom has been rolled back--and always for the same sorry reason: fear. <br />
<br />
So one thing I have learned from Johnny Faulk, Texas, and life, is that since you don't always win, you got to learn to enjoy just fightin' the good fight. <br />
<br />
On the occasion of the bicentennial of the Constitution, the ACLU was fixin' to lay some heavy life-time freedom fighter awards on various citizens and one of 'em was Joe Raugh, the lawyer who defended so many folks during the McCarthy Era and the civil rights movement (note that the rightness of those stands is always easier to see in retrospect). Rauh was sick in the hospital at the time and asked a friend of his to go down and collect the award for him. His friend went to see him in the hospital and said, "Joe, what you want me to tell these folks?" <br />
<br />
So there was Rauh lyin' there sick as a dog, thinking back on all those bad, ugly, angry times--the destroyed careers, the wrecked lives--and he said, "Tell 'em how much fun it was. Tell 'em how much fun it was." <br />
<br />
So keep fightin' for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't you forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through kickin' ass and celebratin' the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was.QUINN AVERY DAVIShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17636262819982174938noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2084011422351028401.post-28358161072316778232011-10-17T21:15:00.000-07:002011-10-17T21:15:38.364-07:00NEW SKATE BLOG, HOLMES.Click below or on the blog title.

First time for me and mine visiting <a href="http://wayzgoose.svcseattle.com/">Letter Press event at SVC</a>, called "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayzgoose">Wayzgoose</a>" this weekend. Definitely need more time, to peruse and get a poster printed next year. Several groups print all day via large poster plates, hand-rolled ink, and a steam roller. They hang them from the balcony railings of the buildings successive floors. Very cool. Print shop, movable type bins and machines are inside. Highly recommended event.QUINN AVERY DAVIShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17636262819982174938noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2084011422351028401.post-62628042808235011132011-08-29T13:54:00.000-07:002011-08-29T13:54:10.011-07:00Get out whilst you can...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-T87wj8lHwIQ/Tlv7cafh1bI/AAAAAAAAAvk/hPPnnpXV0_8/s1600/IMG_6579.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-T87wj8lHwIQ/Tlv7cafh1bI/AAAAAAAAAvk/hPPnnpXV0_8/s400/IMG_6579.JPG" width="225" /></a></div><br />

Mock info-graphic for school. But the facts are true. Inspired while watching <a href="http://www.sharkwater.com/">Sharkwater</a> documentary. Watch it, and/or go to <a href="http://savingsharks.com/">SavingSharks.com</a> and do what you can to help. As much as Jaws is a favorite, it took it's toll. And the fin has zero flavor...QUINN AVERY DAVIShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17636262819982174938noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2084011422351028401.post-39202530340470677062011-05-13T10:22:00.000-07:002011-05-13T10:22:37.764-07:00Inner Beauty<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hnAAjGVLtOc/Tc1ovGDdJnI/AAAAAAAAAvQ/E0JXY8bsbws/s1600/INNER-GOODNESS.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hnAAjGVLtOc/Tc1ovGDdJnI/AAAAAAAAAvQ/E0JXY8bsbws/s400/INNER-GOODNESS.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
