The part that sounds like a flute is coming from the man-on-the-left’s throat
During a crit in my figure drawing class on Friday, this intense guest instructor told us – in response to a student saying her piece seemed to *revert back to childhood* – to take seriously what we cared about at age 7 or 8 as an indication of our real “interest” (or something like that).
I couldn’t remember what I cared about at age 7 or 8, aside from my mom not dying on her way home from work. It was annoying, particularly because I was feeling weird and mentally/emotionally scattered, and thought discovering some sort of repressed childhood passion would solve a lot of my problems (at least for the day).
I mostly forgot about that question, but reading Nietzsche just made me remember that I really hated religion when I was 8. It made me angry that so many people believed, and not only believed but depended on something that struck me as so clearly absurd, something without which I’d survived for an entire eight years.
Anyway I can’t say that represents what I cared about at 7 or 8, but I do know it marks the time at which I first realized that humans can be really disappointing.
You should really watch this new Harmony Korine short film

FYI *spoiler alert* – not in the video – the baby eventually dies (from the cold) and the leopard returns to feast on its mother. Oh well, it was cute while it lasted.

I’m feeling homesick and wanna be around family (that includes you guys)
I’m also getting really upset about everything that’s happening in the world.
I just wanna listen to Neil Young sit on my fire escape in the rain with a cigarette and cry, but I’m not sad enough (I also don’t own things like cigarettes)

Life in this society being, at best, an utter bore and no aspect of society being at all relevant to women, there remains to civic-minded, responsible, thrill-seeking females only to overthrow the government, eliminate the money system, institute complete automation and destroy the male sex.
Yes, lady who eventually made an attempt on Andy Warhol’s life (and with good cause)! I couldn’t have said it better myself.
Please just read the entire thing, it is too good/funny.
