Observation
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting?

The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class are to represent and repress them.

The New Museum
I watched an program recently on television about viral marketing, where
a mobile phone company had ridden on the back of the IPhone4
antenna problem. They had searched the blogs and found people who
had not been that impressed and offered them phones to trial.
In the natural process they had blogged on this new phone and the message was spread.
Clever ?
What The New Museum had done in New York was much more visual and involved Calvin Klein Jeans, curiosity and blogging again.

All Of You Undisturbed Cities
Rainer Maria Rilke
All of you undisturbed cities
haven’t you ever longed for the Enemy?
I'd like to see you besieged by him
for ten endless and ground shaking years.
Until you were desperate and mad with suffering;
finally in hunger you would feel his weight.
He lies out side the walls like a countryside.
And he knows very well how to endure
longer than the one that he comes to visit.
Climb up on your roofs and look out:
his camp is there and his morale doesn't falter,
his numbers do not decrease; he will not grow weaker,
and he sends no one into the city to threaten
or promise and no one to negotiate.
He is the one who breaks down all walls,
and when he works, he works in silence.
The poem was the basis or inspiration for one of Stuart Hobdays many incarnations on the web.. The first person I have found that you look at one of his sites and you can tell ' that is a Hobday'. Take a look:

'Blogs are surely the musings of the socially inept, those people you sidle away from at parties after a couple of stabs at conversation.'
Not my words but that of Janet Street-Porter.
Or am I blogging ?

Ben Heine
Because Christmas = Capitalism, this is just a concept to buy more, spend more...
Ben Heine is a Belgian painter, illustrator, portraitist, caricaturist and photographer. I first saw his work on miiinimal, his minimal photograph series. I presume he tipped his hat to Munch when he did this but my sentiments as well, possibly dont hate it but glad when its over.
His Flickr is something to trawl through and his blog.
