Anarchy vs. Ideology

I’ve often been described over the last few years as an anarchist and I’ve wondered if that is so. Since I can’t stand most ideologies maybe I prefer the opposite. I suppose it comes down to fear. Ideologues always say, “But if there were no authority (i.e. religion/government/etc.) then there’d be anarchy!”

But would there really be?

This is the question. If we weren’t stymied and stifled by big dogma and big bureaucracy in endless proportions, would we have anarchy or would we have a new renaissance that would transform the world? I may not be a true anarchist and I’m no real gambler, but I am more than willing to roll the dice on this answer.

And if anarchy results, then so be it. Let us return to the stone age if need be. But fearing the worst is never a reason to NOT explore the alternatives and when it comes to the evolution of human thinking, what do we have to lose?

Break on through to the other side, man.

To tam or not to tam

Hollis Dorian now has a tam. He still has bags under his eyes as he furiously novelizes but his tam carries on.

Peace and love, living folk.

Fucksnakes

Hollis Dorian thinks They’re everywhere.

London, Jack

London bridge is falling the fuck down! Get the jaws of life and some WD40, dude!

Chest Hair

Hot iPhone searing my chest hair. Plastic rune of techno-sadism.

The Earnestness of Civilization

The question was posed whether or not Social Networking was giving some people a sense of falsely inflated self-importance. As I dig into this question I can’t help but wonder if these people weren’t wrapped up in themselves previously. Perhaps the Social Networking angle is merely a trinket to add to their charm bracelet of obliviousness. We shall see. 

Dare I interview someone I think fits into this category?

iPhone 3.0

“We’re adding like ten million new features but still no video capture app.” What the fuck?!

Stinging Sear

There’s nothing quite like the electrical field of a person’s skin to ignite searing desire in life. It’s kinetic and kind and maddening all at the same time. I should rather think that it’s an energy separate from any known, measurable wavelength, calling to me, caressing me, telling me to scratch it with my rock-hard fingernails.

Dance, Mutherfucker! Dance!

It’s been nine whole days. Where’s my mutherfuckin’ change?

Kool-Aid Man

Hollis Dorian thinks that if you feel that some sort of magical change is happening today, then you need to put down that big ole jug of propaganda-flavored Kool-Aid and wake the fuck up!

True aspiration to greatness can only come from within and it can’t be handed to you from the preacher-man or the politician. Your happiness is your own responsibility and there’s no caped wonder swooping from the sky to save you. If you believe that there is a significant difference in the politicians who will lord over you now than the ones that were doing so before, then you are misguided. There will be war. And there will be injustice. And there will be a continuing reign of monotheistic rhetoric and wish thinking.

Break free of the pseudo-Soviet campaign posters and the ridiculous mewlings of ‘change’ and ‘hope’ and realize that a better future is created by the people and for the people, not by politicians. Whether you believed in what he stood for or not, let us remember the words of a former President today, who said, “Government IS the problem.” 

Finally, I leave you with this:

Today is not a historic day until the history of the next four to eight years is written.
