Staying quiet doesn’t mean I’ve nothing to say. It means I don’t think you’re ready to hear my thoughts.

I really feel like our whole lives, no matter how low our self esteem gets, there’s some part of us that thinks “I have a secret special skill that no one knows about.” And eventually we meet someone and they’re like, “You have a secret special skill.” And you’re like “I know, so do you. Lets eat pizza flavored ice cream together.” And that’s love; it’s a mountain of pizza flavored ice cream…and delusion.

Photography has born as a scientific reproduction tool of the reality and has been the strongest and the largest medium to construct modern history of the mankind but the statut of the photographic document as lost its authority with reality in its new relation with the digital world. Since photography switch into digital era, the truth we used to attached to this medium has disappeared. There is no more negative to prove chemically and mechanically that an event has really occurred. The change of the nature of photography into an image brought deep distance between the fact itself and its representation.

Without image there is no event and any event could be built with images. Mass Consumption of images has created images to serve specific goal and to be recognized, modifying the production process from « taking » to « making » a picture. The space conquest have been focused all its energy in the construction of an heroic and mythic media exploit. Without any image of the first moon landing on the moon, nobody would have believed it…

Now, our friends at the Republican convention were more than happy to talk about everything they think is wrong with America, but they didn’t have much to say about how they’d make it right. They want your vote, but they don’t want you to know their plan. And that’s because all they have to offer is the same prescription they’ve had for the last thirty years:

“Have a surplus? Try a tax cut.”

“Deficit too high? Try another.”

“Feel a cold coming on? Take two tax cuts, roll back some regulations, and call us in the morning!”

In Tampa the Republican argument against Obama’s re-election was pretty simple, pretty snappy: ‘We left him a total mess, he hasn’t finished cleaning it up fast enough, so fire him and put us back in.’ I like the argument for President Obama’s re-election a whole lot better. He inherited a deeply damaged economy, put a floor under the crash, began the long hard road to recovery and laid the foundation for a modern, more well-balanced economy.

In the end, the American dream is not a sprint or even a marathon, but a relay.

As a writer, he is a step away from a memoirist, one who’ll let us in when he chooses but always through mottled glass. He gives us something slippery and leaves us to interpret it, fit it into our own lives, figure out how to relate to it.

Geology is the study of pressure and time. That’s all it takes really, pressure, and time. That, and a big goddamn poster.

Slavery, once an accepted part of the economic and social setup of the country, now seems so outlandish, so cruel and inexplicable, that it sort of makes sense that vampires would be behind it all.

You may have typed things into Google that you would hesitate to admit in polite company. I certainly have. The majority of Americans have as well: we Google the word “porn” more often than the word “weather.

A daydream is that fountain spurting, spilling strange new thoughts into the stream of consciousness. And these spurts turn out to be surprisingly useful.
