"My optimism rests on my belief in the infinite possibilities of the individual to develop nonviolence." ...In a gentle way you can shake the world." When I reflect on recent goings-on in my life... Including the campaign of intimidation and psychological abuse inflicted on me and my loved ones, perpetrated in part as abuse under the color of authority... So definitely a cornerstone of my pretext in escaping to forbidding-by-reputation Manhattan - I must settle upon Mohandas Ghandi as my touchstone for today. I have never had an opportunity to tell a therapist or professional, but once, during some of the worst of it, voices (for those of you unfamiliar with psychosis, imagine Sally Field's SYBIL, Sissy Spacek's CARRIE, or the bitty Cylon voices from CAPRICA's virtual reality world - the voices manifest like that, sometimes...) - voices admonished me kill one of the perpetrators, an actually quite heinous man who lives to this day across the street fr...

The Agony and the Ecstasy: H&M Review 16-03-2019

Image
I'm an H&M loyalist, but never has this world class retailer - for many a go-to when they need wardrobe staples - never has it engendered any extreme feelings but those that are positive. Today, I visited their flagship store on Manhattan's Times Square, where I encountered several sartorial thou-shalt-nots among the many must-haves. Salient moments from the men's department in photographs (five megapixel): Yes, Yes, YES! To this classic-seeming take on vintage 1980s Members Only. Really, an improvement over the original. There are times when (granted, after applying some individual accents) I would wear almost exactly in what the H&M mannequin is dressed, but to pair the otherwise fetching jacket above with the pictured pants is a major, 'No!' I almost wanted to call the management (but I was frightened that I might face accusations of stodginess.) Oh God, the band collar button-down: I so wanted it to die ignominiously on the Macy...

In (Briefly) & About With Will

Vintage International's blurbs in praise of ' About Looking ' really pimp John Berger's as a mind with which to tangle, but his starkly obvious limitations as a thinker leave me coughing hard and dry for what I can do that he can't. From page 7, in WHY LOOK AT ANIMALS?: 'A peasant [the second time he pointedly deploys as an example a peasant, as opposed, I suppose for *some* reason, to a noble-born or person of rank]...[I]s glad to salt away [his pig's] pork.' And on page 42, in PHOTOGRAPHS OF AGONY, he declares with an unctuous finality that there can be 'nothing to say' about people who do not find 'arresting,' and who pass over, photographic depictions of violence and bloodshed - thereby, albeit completely unsupported, negating an implication made to the contrary not a couple of paragraphs earlier. In all, I am alarmed at his apparent haste in cogitating. If anybody needs me, I'll be out and about looking for myself... ( Don...
