I can't AFFORD to be compassionate anymore. We put her in the basement in Winter, but she is certifiable. I love her, I give her hugs, kisses, consoling words, but if we let her into the house, some night, she'll strike!<br /><br />KAMIKAZE STYLE!<br /><br />She has actually shit<br />right on my back! while I slept!<br /><br />heheh<br /><br />Man, you are cool, we should have beers, or bourbons, or teas, or movies.<br /><br />mi casa su casa.<br /><br />:)Phanero Noemikonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430230355065457354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-68455974029169966852009-06-25T01:21:34.577-07:002009-06-25T01:21:34.577-07:00Lanny, "Sere, insectoid" strikes to the ...Lanny, "Sere, insectoid" strikes to the heart of the freak in evolution, the mutation, probably accidental, leading to the arid, withered chain-mail of that abstraction layer we seem to possess which makes the bushido code intelligible (if not attractive) to us--"sere" beings like that Sebastian in Blade Runner, who aged seven times the normal rate. A Saint Sebastian of how many heartbeat arrows before, was it Roy Batty, crushed his skull in an android palm?<br /><br />That is a word from way back in the Indo European flood plain denoting the dead vegetation of the drought periods. Each no doubt recalled as singular, though they must have been myriad. Good word for the human as a dried-out exotic introduction.<br /><br />Sere I can get. Not the strike potential, however. Heart-retarding meds limit the action to a heart beat only every two seconds or so, twould be good for zen archery or putting in golf, but for samurai, no-go--one of the meds is a beta blocker that reduces adrenalin production to a standstill, no fight or flight reaction, just skulk, the savannah a memory, the pavement bad enough. Even so, my golly, a billion is still a lot... of risk, when you think about it.<br /><br />As a lad I admired the bravery and skill and madness of the Zero pilots and somewhere in the lost archives of eternity there are hundreds of drawings of them done in those war years. Do (and probably did) grasp that the kamikaze attackers were a special breed--or maybe just the same insectoid dry mutant freak weaponized android strain, only moreso. At any rate they were gutty dudes, though does an android have a gut, no they must have visceral "thought" digestion baskets, automata don't eat or... whatever. <br /><br />PS. Speaking of whatever, and while we're talking, do please let that cat of yours back in the house, on compassionate grounds, whatever the offense (is that Vadda?).

Suicidal gestures like this are designed to inflict not only casualties but to create awe and fear. It is a total weaponization of the body toward a supposed end.<br />The kamikaze' pilots were taught that "their cockpits were their swords" and that they were samurai.<br /><br />It has a sere, almost insectoid feel to it, but then, humanity is such a special critter, even in terms of our energy consumption.<br /><br />Out of all the animals in the world, the vast majority get about one billion heartbeats for a life,<br />the slower they go, the longer the life, like whales that are found with spearpoints embedded in them from the 19th century. The human animal gets about 2 billion heartbeats. Completely unprecendented. <br /><br />The term 'singularity' has been kicked around alot in the sciences<br />(signses) to connote an ionisation<br />of the instrumental toward some benchmark of consciousness, but the human itself is already that singularity within the animal kingdom itself, as was the animal kingdom itself from those early protoctistan denizens..<br /><br />This whole suicide thing for the sake of the abstraction layer should tell us something about its very nature, polarized and polarizing, is part of its basic identity. <br /><br />The warrior, in terms of don juan,<br />must always be on guard for these contentious states, and remain transparent, poised, indifferent except to possibility!!<br /><br />(or something)"i guess"<br />[shrugs]<br />cluck cluck<br />:)Phanero Noemikonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430230355065457354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-41329584604851067952009-06-24T18:30:32.504-07:002009-06-24T18:30:32.504-07:00Lanny,
