The Amazing Donut Machine
All your great desires are but monstrosities
And all your wildest fires trivialities
Somehow the following seems appropriate in a refractory canonical
dialectic way.
The mystic core is
humorous unless it reveals itself
Next is the religious ethos, which is serious until the
mirror breaks
After that is sitcom mentality which laughs everything off
Finally there is dementia or the endless controversialist
The four components of being are present in all of us all of
the time, along with their opposites
WE have already established myth as a link between the real
world of and the idealized world, which
is either distant or yet to be. It also serves a function something like humor
in that it allows us to contemplate the
effect of possible realities without
actually paying the cost.
The Great Game
Is very much
dreamlike, The technostate pretends it loves us and we pretend we believe them.
All characterization, be they laws or mere pronouncements –
are illusion Meant to further the cause
of one side or the other.
It’s general accepted that the beverage of
choice among computer hobbyist’s is coffee- and the stronger the better.
Premium brews are often sought out
and small glasses of espresso
mixed with regular coffee to make caffeine “boilermakers”. (This is not an informative article but for
the record the strongest cup of coffee is the Havana brand you can get on 9th
street and 54th in Manhattan. The best coffee on earth is from the
Blue mountains of Jamaica.)
But we concern ourselves not with transient
reality, rather with eternal myth.
During the last depression coffee
naturally rose to prominence as “The five cent meal” Down and outers
spent hours in automats nursing that cuppa coffee and Irving Berlin, chronicler
of the era stated “Mr
Herbert Hoover says that nows the time to buy
so
lets have another cup of coffee and let’s have another piece of pie”
Especially
when the world has gone to he’ll the myth may be the only reality capable of
sustaining us. Among gearhead the
legendary GTO’s and Shelby Cobras’s live on in song and dream even though their
four hundred horsepower engines are long gone.
The
number of economic tragedies made possible by the coming of the technostate has never been counted.
Note don’t take what I say as gospel I make no claims etc, but apparently a few
years back someone realized that Dunken
donuts was undervalued – in part because donuts are a “must have” food. Late at
night, early tin the morning. So they
did an LBO. Note not to be rude but if you don’t understand the mechanics of
this little financial instrument , get off the website, in fact I prefer readers with at least several
graduate degrees and six figure income otherwise it doesn’t pay for me to dumb
down and lose the important readers.
I probably
should have said this long ago.
What few
care to be aware of is that sixty years ago everyone dunked their donuts. Today it would be consider the sign of a
boor; a person of poor taste, especially when the brown fluid dripped down the
front of one’s shirt. One’s style of dunkin was considered
indicative of one’s social class. The
elite dunked with two fingers extended, the hoi polloi slurped.
Essentially
no one has dunked a donut in a long time, but we have not noticed – and that
tell’s you something. In legals terms it’s called good will and it often
accrues to a specific locale and
workforce - that it could match up
brand is less to expected.
I think
I’ll stop here.
Ps I wasn’t one of
those completely enamored of Steve Jobs. There had been cases where really creative
people were let go – but what happened to him when he was fired was a modern
tragedy. I trust you are aware that
within five years the company was on the verge of bankruptcy . This because the stockholders wanted more
money out of the firm. What the hell
did they do to deserve more?
As I say, it
was a tragedy and now Steve’s gone and once again the stock has plummeted.
I remember in the
days of the bogus leaders of Apple I was one of the die hards because I had grown up with the product. Then the CPU
and OSX scandals happened - which could
have been handled in such a way as to not make the Motorola cpu obsolete over
night – but always theres that underlying motive and that little bit of chiseling
was
enough to push me to invest in
windows.
What can you
say. Fresh I out college I was commissioned todo a report for the Criminal Justice dept about hand
guns . Here’s an issue where both cops and liberals agree. I did everything on
a strictly factual basis and came up with the same results as always and the
pols took the report and threw it away – because it did not say what they
wanted it to say
So now you can buy
a cup of coffee and muffin and get a dollars change from a five dollar bill
