$ A New Connection... (8/8/2006)

i Have Survived yet another move - In my new dwelling now with space added.

I lost all form of connection with this time, no mobile, no car, no modem, no LAN line...
I must say reading a book is a good way to spend the time. It was quite peaceful.

$ The exploitation of loneliness, on my phone? (3/7/2006)

I recieved a missed call today from a number in Melbourne... i was informed that i should not attempt to call it back. This is due to a new scam - if i had called it back i would of been connected to a service that charges $4 per min or a flat charge of $50.

I feel no need to pass any ethical comment on this subject - It speaks for its self...

But it did remind me of a moment in time passed - with my mother travelling in a car to some un-recallable destination, she pulled into a rather rundown looking bussniess to make a u-turn in the driveway i cracked a joke to her about how the shop owner would feel if he saw us, the hope of business dashed away as we exploited his drive way. He may of been a lonely person he may now be even lonelier...

Probably not... but i am certain that a few people out there may of been stung by this new scam. but what can we do?

$ Change... (22/6/2006)

The daughter of the night...
The sister of dreams - over fields of putrefaction...

-of pain-
-of sadness-
-of decomposition-
-of corruption-

The regeneration of new phantoms and demons - Where the old bones only serve as armour

$ Dystopian Escapism (9/6/2006)

Michael Foucult said that the postmodern society is characterized by the lack of free will on the part of individuals. The hyper-fataliatic and extreme structural function view that it is institutions of knowledge, norms, and values which categoriz and control humans.

This in turn has created the deviant which is the social stasis i have been given (or chosen) to use as a way to express my disdain towards the treatment of the individual and the treatment of the arts. I feel i am not alone in my choice, the rise of the emotive culture in the past two years show many symbols of a similar deviance they might have been quickly taken in to the commodified field but they still wave the jolly roger as a sign of their rebellion.
