If we lived in a just world, they would have cut Pinochet's entrails out and fed it to him a long time ago, but unfortunately we had to let time do it's work.

i'm realizing more and more that i am not cut out to be a scholar. my main problem is that i totally suck at reading. i am trying now to read about where agency is understood to lie in conceptions of producer-creator/consumer-speculator in american consumer culture. apparently it is more blurry than in europe, which is made possible by the 'fact' that neither producer or consumer really produces, but actually both are speculator roles. yay postmodernism now we have nothing to believe in. since consumption is privileged as agentive, then we can do things just by consuming? I guess this is what he is saying but i suck at reading so im not really sure. i guess this is what i WANT to hear since i am trying to prove that viagra is sold as masculinity (and masculinity needs to be constantly reasserted) by refilling sex drive thus empowering them (or making them NOT impotent, 'impotence' connoting powerlessness). consumed object:agency::viagra:masculine power?
i got a camera for my birthday! so i ahve been taking pictures. i like taking close ups and close jens.

Eric came to visit and it was amazing! We went camping. We went to the lake and there was a drowning baby drill and we were good semaritans!
Currently I am filling up my pack and doing steep day hikes in preparation for this, this, or this! I fly out to Seattle on the 17th. If you live there we should meet up! |

So I just got laid off from my landscaping job today. I would have been totally furious but my last day was supposed to be next week anyway. Apparently it was not profitable to keep me for five more days. As much as I hated being told what to do and performing the most menial tasks, I wish I were working today. Sort of like a prisoner has trouble functioning when he or she is set free I'm kind of freaked out about whast I'm going to do in my immediate future. My project for Grenada still needs finished (embarassingly) so that'll be my focus now.
I stopped posting on el jay after Grenada because I sort of saw how ridiculous it is. It has like the corrupting power 100x that of the american dollar or euro. It seems that it can come to replace real (as opposed to virtual, although a virtual reality is also in many ways 'real') means of communication and become a substitute for them. Drama people wouldnt share with each other, whether its socially unacceptable or difficult to say, seems to come out easy on el jay.
Anyway this is a sort of personal entry, but it is nothing i wouldnt share with people in person. Anyway when I went to the farm today to work my boss was standing there in the drive, stoped me in my car and handed me a paycheck, telling me to go home. As I turned around I passed the group I worked with, all standing around with rosy faces and necks, with sad eyes, speaking in tired voices. I remembered talking to eric blasco last december one night at brandeis when snow was falling and saying that I thought that quiet night was ushering in a new period in my life. I think I was right. I hope it ended today when I drove away, seeing my co-workers stand there, awkardly not shooting me a glance in the last time I would ever see them. It has been an isolated time when I have had to figure stuff out for myself, especially in Grenada. Some people would call it a period of "self-discovery" but I realize this is not only cliche but also bullshit. Every new thing I have found out and every experience I have had has only given me more and more questions upon which to work. However this does not mean that I am losing my footing or plummeting into a nihilistic abyss. At the same time I have been thinking a lot about having good faith, having guts and living passionately. I feel like I am coming closer and closer to a more defined value system that I have consciously created for myself. I would like to think that I am taking the long and hard way. I hope that in the end I will be stronger and more durable than those who think that there are easy answers and that wire halos make them angels.

So I have been back int he United States for a little but now. This is gonna be my last live journal I think, at least for a while, for a number of reasons.
Anyway I miss Grenada x70n5 and coming home (to Brandeis, then New York/New Jersey and finally to Pennsylavania) was a pretty crazy transition. I had a weird time getting used to islated/privileged Brandeis bullshit but luckily I was staying with some awesome kids so i didn't explode.
Me, Eric Rain Blasco, Josh Brownies Russell, Xela Stitz and Miriam whatshername in this place next year, which I am way psyched about:

Yah!
Cep we had to ditch Kevin which was not cool at all.
My mom got dog while i was gone. It ate my room.
Since I've been taking care of family stuff, finding an apartment and figuring out brandeis for next semester I have done little on my project so far, which is freaking me out.
I got a 45hr/week job landscaping which is pretty hard work. Today I installed one of those invisible dog fences today for a woman who was loaded and diet pills and who ate dog treats. I'm fixing to stay with it but I was offered a job as a cook about a half hour ago and Im thinking about doing that instead. I dunno, I really like working outside during the day.
Being home is not what I would have chosen for myself this summer. Good thing I'm equipped with some sweet reggae, skanking skills and PMA.
Hey if you know any sweet books you should tell me so i can read them this summer.

Sooooo, how long have you been a cop?
So on my way back to the States a customs officer took all my slack sage and seeds, but he missed my rice wine (sucka). He also found three cockroaches, which aren't allowed over the border.
Overwhelmed and back at Brandeis getting some things done. |
