Juggling Lessons from Buzan, Gelb and the Growing Infrastructure of Jugglers in the World
Stepped on Lessons From the Art of Juggling this morning, outside Greenbelt Place, Idaho. Geezer pulls me up and says, So ya wanna learn how to Juggle? Just drop the balls! We slipped into a coffee and latte style conversations (like the one I had in Oregon) this one jumping fast to connections we both shared; he was from Ketchum. Where they have the film festival; looking at me as I didn't know that Redord lives there. Here. Elmore awakens the sleeping book clerk and he goes off to find a copy. Buys it for me. Lesson one: Drop the balls. At first it seemed obvious: how could you NOT drop the balls.....?http://www.youtube.com/user/TheDazHastings?feature=mhum
Hi: Facebook.....
what a journey (nop, not seen the film yet). yup. love the concept. hopelessly addicted to fb from near the get go ..... same as everyone: wasn't quite sure..... and now here we are. Apologies to all those unfriended! Hello to new. Shout outs and postings, you tube links and musings, interrrrr-connectivity ah and some romance to now say, what? Well, i don't know what to say....can't say everything in one place? Can do something else except "be" totally on a computer, right? Must walk in the woods sometime. Seems everyone living a good life; ups and downs. Experiences with lightworkers, varied. Cosmic trust in the nature of Love. All that.... and just fun. Just a fun way to connect (of course it is; any broach through alienation is a good thing, right). Anyhoo... back at the Lodge, I was starting my reading toward speculative realism. It was a grande sight, majestic, like Pirsig's Montana; delirious like Guattari's prose. I was free falling into her arms, the sand of the gulf stream shining a path north (always north) and over the "top" into the melting arctic. Whales greeted me. (Always whales) and I asked her: did you see me when I was at the same hotel as you in Mexico? Shelby wasn't sure. She had lifted her white skirt saying, See? No panties (prefers to have makeup on) and looking for a Boots Chemist and some fish and chips, sailed out toward Skye in search of some Stones in West Island. Here, let's get on a ferry and ride....
intelligence workers.... thoughts on Buzan

the genius of Ontology
One fine day, where?) links were in the garden (eating?) sausage throw back to a bygone era. There were three ideas. Object View. Object status. Mimesis. Memory. Then, it was April thereabouts, bluebells swinging in the tard-late dear arn't you? She was astride herself from drink; in the backyard. Here. Roll me a post. Haven? It was the buddha who had drawn us together. Akong? Dalai? These were postmodern times and we were repositiong the abstract in terms that we could relate: saxophone ex=boyfriend in the other room, quaint, while I slept with her sister (equal in measure to Foucault's pendulum)Speculative Realism Breaks Out, Breaks Philosophy?

Since the Goldsmith's Conference of 2007 (which saw the formal embrace of the name), the movement known as Speculative Realism has, by some accounts, "revivified" philosophy. Led by the young philosophers Ray Brassier and Quentin Meillasoux, the movement is becoming known for its two-pronged critique of both the continental andanalytic philosophical traditions. Speaking crudely, the goal is to fashion a "transcendental materialism" that puts the continental tradition in a better position to engage with the evolving insights of experimental science (particularly cognitive science, biology, and physics), while revising the analytical tradition's tendency to a "scientistic" and "naive" materialism. On the whole the philosophy tries to be less human-centric, acknowledging a world indifferent to human knowing and human being, while still acknowledging the problem of epistemic contingency. Brassier is also a leading proponent or investigator of nihilism, which will please Big Lebowski fans.
the hypothesis was that we could Deceive. Wasn't that the nature, first step anyway, of cosciousness? She wasn't sure; but she wan't uninterested in the question. Helgar? Gawd almighty. You call that a sausage? Pete, thrown back from carousing through the Vintage labels gathered his favourite DVD and CD's together and thought. Entelechy? Osmosis. Or simply Being In Itself. There was a monumental pause, prelim to all the summer mornings hunover we would have before brunch was done.

intelligence, colour: dawn with venus on eastern horizon
I'm going to backtrace a few days and post this "before" not "after". (Of course I understand the temporal potential of the non-linear blog, and its counterpart, the non rational mind. So, there we were in bed toged up, Me and Mrs Jones, botstrapped for everything (save our souls) as the mile high stadium wore off into the horizon, a sort of very blue hue, a mountain! And we were out of the city now, into the rawlands. It was this that Kerouac adored most. On his Henge trail I was, last year, rummaging around for pilgrimage notes. When did, why did, how did ..... I was reminded by Picasso to take the computer slowly: it can answer questions.... So there I was in Cornwall, sampling Kerouacean's native past. Hurah! The green algae down in Merlin's cave turned the water twerqwoise. Dippiing into. Ice! Yow. You Brits swim in this? No wonder yr frosty! And on into Saint de Ives bay where we were catcalling round the modern Tate's euphoric soundchamber to beach swill icecream and cakes that went "woof" straight down the cream tea. Essie was on the backbench with El and Bee, swigging Artois before napping beside the smurf. Boards in hand?

Barkley Hendricks Birth of the Cool
Barkley L. Hendricks: Birth of the Cool
|  | ||||||||||
Best known for his life-sized portraits of those living within the urban northeastern communities of Connecticut, Barkley L. Hendricks’s bold portrayal of his subject’s attitude and style elevated these common and overlooked persons to celebrity status. Organized by Trevor Schoonmaker, curator of contemporary art at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, Barkley L. Hendricks: Birth of the Cool is the first career retrospective of this renowned American artist. The exhibition is comprised of 57 paintings, including full-figure portraits and lesser-known early works, as well as the artist’s more recent portal-like paintings of the Jamaican landscape, where he returns annually to do outdoor “en pleine air” painting. Hendricks’s stylistic renderings connect the art movements of American realism and post-modernism while touching upon many of the art movements of the 1960s and 70s—pop art, photorealism, minimalism, even black aesthetic nationalism. His work occupies a space somewhere between portraitists Chuck Close and Alex Katz and pioneering black conceptualists David Hammons and Adrian Piper. Cool, empowering and sometimes confrontational, Hendricks's artistic privileging of a culturally complex black body has paved the way for today's younger generation of artists. About Barkley L. Hendricks Hendricks’s work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions across the United States and Europe, and include venues such as the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; The Studio Museum in Harlem, New York; and Whitechapel Art Gallery, London. His work is represented in numerous public collections, including the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; Philadelphia Museum of Art, Pennsylvania; Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia; Columbus Museum of Art, Ohio; Chrysler Museum, Norfolk, Virginia; Studio Museum in Harlem, New York; Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Connecticut; and Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, Durham, North Carolina. The exhibition and related programs are sponsored in part by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc.; National Endowment for the Arts, which believes that a great nation deserves great art; Mary Duke Biddle Foundation; and North Carolina Arts Council with funding from the State of North Carolina. | |||||||||||
