"You're born, you know...

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 01:58:00 -0500

How does one generate a social revolution — is the thing. How to become famous? Certainly we must consider the relative advantage of gospel spreading. Way far away where your name is unknown and your boots stir up the most dust. If anyone asks from where you came, say: “Nashville.”

Don’t forget that absurdity is quite obtainable — and respected among many artists. Develop an interesting vocal affectation, generational affiliation, or housepet. Eyes will happily eat whatever you render incomprehensible. (Ears will feel compelled.)

As for me, I have envisioned several paths for myself. I imagine the inevitable isolationist period, a detachment from ‘reality’ artistically principled: I run away to some sort of Rubber Rose Ranch in the northwest, request at least the title Princess Summerfall Winterspring. Riding ponies, following the dao, and experiencing as many little expanding sighs of microcosms as nature has to offer.

And in my spiritual return decades later, Madam du —

Would be fitting.

My imminent prospects for two weeks to come are twelve-pointed and double-spaced. Pages spill off of a cerebral sill and flutter to their death on the lower level library floor. I always wear headphones as a way of rerouting the computer’s optimism, its sonic affirmation of operation that stirs the masses when unfettered from the bud. I just listen to my breath. Muffled and concomitantly amplified.

Having to write twenty-something pages on hukou policies in the post-reform PRC is a challenge to my grammatical flow. And in light of my alarmingly forthcoming thesis, I’m hoping to learn at least a few more transitional phrases. If you know of any fine ones, I’m right here.

My upstairs capitulum seems bound in libration, waning with the disappointment of this current semester and waxing with desire for the next. Not much will change. The underlying issue is rather out of my reach, so my comprehensive boredom is unfortunately translated as academic lassitude. It’s just a lowly excuse.
