GETTING RELIGIOUS





The first one is a slide I found in a thrift store, the second one I peeled off a lamp-post in Vancouver, it shows you what happens when you get too much religion. The third contradicts the second and the last appears to be a benign affirmation.

WORLD CUP 2006


Someone once said that football is "the opera of the people" and at it's best I think that is right, the colour, the spectacle, the drama, pathos, heroism against seemingly insurmountable odds, a narrative that appeals to our sense of mythology. At it's worst it's an outlet for violent xenophobic mindless tribalism, huge sums of money spent on the world cup could go towards immediate social problems, I could carry on with a lengthy list as to why it's bad......I was talking to a friend about all this on the phone yesterday, she said you don't have to justify it to me, no that's true, but sometimes I need to justify it to myself....I'm aware that it's a contradiction and to live in a post-modern world is to live with contradictions. I would love to see Trinidad and Tobago beat England. Thanks Jack for the found photo.

FOUND PHOTO OF THE WEEK: THE BAND



I found this in a used copy of Three Essays on the Theory on Sexuality by Sigmund Freud.
It's dated on the back March 1982. It reminds me of when I was a teenager and how desperately I wanted to be in a punk band, me and my bestfriend had been planning this for a while. The name was going to be Seven Year Delay, we'd read somewhere that was how long it took for toxic waste to start leaking out of a sealed barrel, we wrote lots of lyrics, I even bought a guitar a one point, but the dream never happen...the adult world was already making it's demands... and having a record collection that contained just one musical genre, reflected the narrow limitations of the 'Punk Movement', in a sense we had out grown it..but it had helped us grow, helped us to change, to become aware and sensitive and for that reason I will always consider myself 'Punk'.
