That the information we need is with us always and almost perceptible? I have a vision of a shopping center in Somerville. Like I was a ghost, going back there, to a place I haven't been in years. Me and my dad and my brother used to go to a sushi bar around there. I must remember if I become a father how much the time I spent with my father meant to me. SUPERIOR 670 * 2/19/97 The Walt Disney World Explorer CD-ROM, smoking John David MH65 tobacco in my pipe. This has been a wonderful diversion for me of late. Smoking a Matacan cigar now. I'm thinking about writing a guide for the beginning smoker, with none of the holier than thou crap that pervades the cigar world. Yeah, I guess Test Track will open soon, and Horizons will be wrecked soon. New Tomorrowland. Just think about that. NEW Tomorrowland. The future of the seventies is out of style. The future of the fucking Jules Verne 1800's is "in" now. Do we even have our own future here, in the late nineties, or is it all retro? It seems like all our MUSIC is retro now, except for Tori Amos. But she is a single performer, not a style of music. We had grunge back in the early nineties. That was distinctive I guess but not a far leap from other styles. What will the naughties bring? Remember, "naught" is another word for zero. Yeah, yeah. Hey! Guess what? Obliviana is not retro! It is a totally distinct thing. I see it being a big thing in the naughties, maybe a defining thing. Don't jack into that fucking 3-D playground anymore. When they get this cybersex thing really going, we can kiss the human spirit goodbye. An anti-virtual reality philosophy will be vital to the survival of humanity. And hey, guess what, Obliviana has got that too. SUPERIOR 671 * 2/21/97 Was days? D bad question. So, I am in transit. Haha, be. Cool. This is music. Or the is music. Cool, petend, yah yah be. Too. I feel a hippie night, for a few hours they were gods, less specific. Stupid, they blew it. True commentary. Going over someone's house with a woods. Party. Meet women. It is nineteen seventy something. Forget it. Be. Yeah study paintings in a books. Yeah that is like it. Pure. Yeah trash Christianity in talking. Wonder of you should drink. Be. It is the feeling that on the edge, just out of reach, is where it is all clicking. But here it is, just a vague thing in someone else's emotions. Yeah, speak of game, blown up, highway, highway is real. SUPERIOR 672 * 2/21/97 They song. Try song. Shift in the way. Pung... I am in a period of writing... Huh. Water and little playing cards. Punk. Like tree. Am I can I get my feeling across. Like on Broadway, at college, film school, that time of my life, seeing it, I... in Phillip K. Dick's book "Valis" Paul Williams, the author, not the singer, is mentioned. And right around the corner from college, from the Tisch School of the Arts, I met Paul Williams, at a long-gone store called Gemstone. I was rambling, praising Das Energi which he signed. Reading "Valis" these days, it's so weird... I know I read it back then, 1989 whatever, but I don't remember much of it at all. Where was I? 1:16 AM. Listening to Bachman-Turner Overdrive, greatest hits... like...people... waking up... *OW* [[END129OW]] -------> ------------------- ----------- -------- -- -----
