it's strange how we got mirrored, or split in two
eyes, sense organs, brain

one would think one is enough
two would think two
if we are someone we should be twosome
the proof is that we talk to ourselves all the time

these lines are split up for organizing
some organizing was lost when CD released vinyl
side a and side b

the fox look at you with two eyes
it's for measuring the distance
an idea of the space
it's reproduced by doubling
how many eyes would hyperspace need
and where to be placed
two points can draw a line
two lines draw a plane and so on
three points draw a plane
each adds a dimension in this type
if we had an eye in time
time sensation is a line of points
deconstructing time could be interesting
necessarily it goes one way only
or if it didn't we wouldn't know
because sensation and knowing goes that way
the sensations presupposes time
i don't like the word presupposes
you might as well say time presupposes sensations
time wouldn't pass if nothing happened
happenings are the time

two eyes make the landscape
which is two planes superimposed make a space
wow, suddenly you have all that space?!
and where does it come from?
while the plane is claustrophobical
well this happens at every transition

why all this nonsense
our bodies stay the same
body, just forget it
too long have you been a subject
subject to anything
just drop it
sure, but how to drop it?

now, the body is a mirror to itself and other
the fox has two eyes which is ridiculous
one mouth
you know, if we had two mouths i'm sure the gastronomical space...
they must be superimposed
which is almost alike
like a mirror
if they are too different it won't work
now, this small difference opens up a huge space?!
even worse

it's all a mess
where do things take place?
the sight?
if it's in the subject it's not in the object
which is scary
the sounds i hear are not there
what i see is not there
though people see the same
wow, this tree doesn't know how great it looks
are we supposed to take care of this mess?
somehow two eyes survived one eye
now we make a project, how does internet feel?
feel is a certain whole projection
if we have n senses
can we combine them into new ones?
here also the mirror might
something is reflected and attains objecthood
one eye is a subject
two eyes we don't know, the distinction doesn't hold
the two eyes sort of glue us to a context already

if the bottom is two how come we look for a one?
the world is one
it has to be
because when we start to count it is 1
first it's 0, then 1,2,3,...
so if we count backwards it's ...,3,2,1,0
so the world has to be one
or zero
everything has to be zero
but how to get from 0 to 1, and so on?
the irrational numbers were sort of discovered that way
the diagonal is a crazy number
so the counting doesn't represent all reality

let's see if this is already in the two eyes
the sight shapes a triangle where two sides are alike
for some, the third side is an irrational number if the two others  
are rational

1 : 1 : 1,4142135623730950488016887242097...
2 : 2 : 2,8284271247461900976033774484194...
3 : 3 : 4,2426406871192851464050661726291...
that's for near sighted, maybe looking at the tip of your nose

fine
i think we solved this problem with success
any question?

Escalator

   The escalator
 is a dangerous enemy
who could trip you
   one step at a time.
This is how the mind works,
synthesizing dream with substance.
Or as Jung
alternates
  with Freud.
 The substitution
of ground for holiness
 claims voice as a reason
 for old tribes locating
 the sun
as figures
in the act, at the window.

  The future derives
from sleep, evolves into gods
 and animals.
 This is a process
 that F. chilled into
   vintage prose.
  Jung warmed
to the blooded world,
not alone. The human collective
 describes the enormity
of a single voice. How the
 minotaur
   poses like God
in his mystical cellar.

 Yet F. too brings the good news
that deciphers time
in focus, traveled by a map,
   as if one could say
  there it is! now is as good
as anywhere.
 Everything is abstract
  in its origin almost
as if Plato
  believed in the verity
of his good republic.

The escalator goes flat by
  steps. It continues
  as breath does:
   two men in blue suits with vests.
 The moving sidewalk is
no less.
It slows into watchword, and if F.
  abhorred the occult,
  Jung compared sexuality
 in the psychic order
to a hidden grammar,
  dogma on the harpsichord.

Organized
  mystery, lens-defined
hyperbole.
A science rises from obsession,
shaped like the Golem of Prague,
but who remembers
   his song?
  Jung catches flies
   instead of fish.
F. hangs his briefs
   on the line.
The world is all
 alone,
   all there is
  to imitate.
Time limps behind
the escalator, F. stands
  with a stopwatch,
 Jung with a camera.
Mind in slow motion, caught in breath.

The retrospective view at the end of the year
should perhaps be taken more seriously than before.

It's not such a harmless pass-time
to bring children into the world.

Bluish across the horizon,
phosphorescing sheet-lightning.

I, as actor, with folded arms
at the centre of the circle:
'Let it lightning!'

The pose, meanwhile, didn't last long.
One becomes in the course of one day,
for a while, a bit larger,
and then a bit smaller again.

Something of the spirit
of Joseph the carpenter
is also appropriate
to such a small-scale patriarch.

Something of the sublimity,
something of the pretension,
something of the bizarre,
something of the spiritual,
all lying under lock and key.

Bush Signings Called Effort to Expand Power

Report sees broad strategy

By Charlie Savage

October 5, 2006 by the Boston Globe

WASHINGTON - President Bush's frequent use of signing
statements to assert that he has the power to disobey newly
enacted laws is ``an integral part of his ``comprehensive
strategy to strengthen and expand executive power at the
expense of the legislative branch, according to a report by
the non partisan Congressional Research Service.

In a 27-page report written for lawmakers, the research
service said the Bush administration is using signing
statements as a means to slowly condition Congress into
accepting the White House's broad conception of presidential
power, which includes a presidential right to ignore laws he
believes are unconstitutional.

The ``broad and persistent nature of the claims of executive
authority forwarded by President Bush appear designed to inure
Congress, as well as others, to the belief that the president
in fact possesses expansive and exclusive powers upon which
the other branches may not intrude, the report said.

Under most interpretations of the Constitution, the report
said, some of the legal assertions in Bush's signing
statements are dubious. For example, it said, the
administration has suggested repeatedly that the president has
exclusive authority over foreign affairs and has an absolute
right to withhold information from Congress. Such assertions
are ``generally unsupported by established legal principles,
the report said.

Despite such criticism, the administration has continued to
issue signing statements for new laws. Last week, for example,
Bush signed the 2007 military budget bill, but then issued a
statement challenging 16 of its provisions.

The bill bars the Pentagon from using any intelligence that
was collected illegally, including information about Americans
that was gathered in violation of the Fourth Amendment's
protections against unreasonable government surveillance.

In Bush's signing statement, he suggested that he alone could
decide whether the Pentagon could use such information. His
signing statement instructed the military to view the law in
light of ``the president's constitutional authority as
commander in chief, including for the conduct of intelligence
operations, and to supervise the unitary executive branch.

Bush also challenged three sections that require the Pentagon
to notify Congress before diverting funds to new purposes,
including top-secret activities or programs. Congress had
already decided against funding. Bush said he was not bound to
obey such statutes if he decided, as commander in chief, that
withholding such information from Congress was necessary to
protect security secrets.

Like all Congressional Research Service reports, the report,
dated Sept. 20 and titled ``Presidential Signing Statements:
Constitutional and Institutional Implications, was written
for members of Congress and was not made available to the
public. The Federation of American Scientists has posted a
copy on its website.

The report marked the latest installment in a recent debate
over the Bush administration's use of signing statements.

A signing statement is issued by the president as he signs a
bill into law. It describes his interpretation of the bill,
and it sometimes declares that one or more of the laws created
by the bill are unconstitutional and thus need not be enforced
or obeyed as written.

Signing statements date to the 19th century but were rare
until the 1980s. The Bush-Cheney administration has taken the
practice to unprecedented levels.

Bush has used signing statements to challenge more than 800
laws that place limits or requirements on the executive
branch, saying they intrude on his constitutional powers. By
contrast, all previous presidents challenged a combined total
of about 600 laws.

This year, The Boston Globe published a detailed accounting of
the laws Bush has claimed he has the power to disobey,
including a torture ban and oversight provisions in the USA
Patriot Act. The report prompted widespread concerns, but
critics have not been able to agree on precisely the nature of
the problem.

For example, the American Bar Association concluded that the
issue was the mechanism itself.

The American Bar Association called signing statements
``contrary to the rule of law

i had an idea for a band name generator.  one that is specifically
geared to come up with one that i would like, but also probably
generally useful for anyone trying to come up with an interesting
unused band name, which a cursory search of almost any even not so
common thing you would want to name your band after would

show.  so i

propose that someone with Perl skills or any other text processing
language help me create this fairly simple framework for generating
potential band names that are random enough to not fit

already common

phrases, etc.  the algorithm inherently limits the chance

that it has

been used before.

i am thinking about this because i need a new band name

BADLY and SOON.


anyone who develops this with me can take the lead credit

for whatever

public availablity we might make for bands that want to use

it, because

i really just need the NAME, and SOON, heh.

you're also free to send me good band names that you will

never end up

using and would like to see put to good use.

it's kind of electro/spacey/experimental but

atmospheric/organic also.


let the names begin.

thanks y'all
