My Patriotic Duty.

7/8/09

First of all, I consider it my duty and patriotic right to share the video Tim sent me via Fbook. We have entered Leonard Nimoy’s acid trip, and it is a dark dark road he has taken. With Bilbo Baggins. The video speaks for itself.

In other equally awesome and American news, Sarah Palin has resigned from her position as Governor of Alaska. While some speculate it’s to position herself to run for president in 2012, I think she just wants some quality time with her bastard grandchild. Maybe attend her sixth college, drink some brews, shoot some squirrels, ban some books, try to take away a woman’s right to choose, take up knitting, etc. I don’t judge.
The photo is from Hustler’s new porno Nailin' Paylin' starring Lisa Ann. And no, I haven’t seen it, it was on the bible ie. thesuperficial.com

On Sunday I went to the Kanye West concert, and I had the best time any awkward white suburban Jew dancing to rap can have. He played all of his hits (the set was only around forty minutes) and ended with Stronger. While I feel like I should hate him for all of his asinine comments and introducing stunna shades to the world and my retarded Westphal brethren, he is talented. Of course when I say, “went to the concert” I mean I stayed outside the barriers and strained to see the screens. Surprisingly, there weren’t a lot of people tail-gating, not a grill or even a George Foreman in sight. Going to N.E.R.D on Saturday, I’m pumped.

Monday we went back to the Tate Modern, and I liked the rest of the exhibits a lot better than the Futurism one. My favorite was definitely No Ghost Just a Shell. French artists Pierre Huyghe and Philippe Parreno purchased the copyright to a minor anime character named Anna Lee. The exhibit explores the idea of the fictional Anna Lee being set free from her copyrighted prison, and trying to find herself and what it means to exist in our world without any real perception of what she is. She lacks an identity, no longer a product and the tool of an artist. It’s extremely eerie, with multiple video’s of her speaking in different voices and tones, trying to point out the fact that she doesn’t even know what she sounds like. They could have at least given her pupils. All of the exhibits were done by different artists, and there were some weird ones like these white objects that were placed in glass cases. They were said to be representative of some of the objects that existed in Anna’s previous manga world. On the side of the cases were head phones to give you an audio example of Anna’s prior life. It was techno. Someone had to have been living out their twelve year old nerd fantasy. The most morbid section was a DIY coffin from "Ikea", part of a cheap self-help kit as one of Anna’s alternatives. “The guide suggests that death may hold some freedom from Anna Lee’s servitude as an image, and also suggests a specific path towards this objective.” Fucking deep man.

I miss my George Foreman now.
