Update 8
someone recommended an interesting site that features an actual "cut up" engine a la William Burroughs and Brion Gysin -- it's available at www.reitzes.com -- click on "The Cut-Up Page" for a section where anyone can cut and paste text to be "blenderized"...funny results often ensue...I am not one to be particularly attached to a text...so, for example, I sent the text of Starplane Blog #25 through the cut up machine and this is what resulted:
Later on, I was doing okay
with the some point when Celia gets bring our own bottles of drink…
wonder and for sure
I in the scene…
and it’s questionable how much
of the wrap who’s been around San Francisco since the Sixties,
mentioned some Diane di on top of the wine
I’d been sampling Marin even tho’ he looked upon with much favor music’s over at Celia’s…
at the same Reitzes site -
that's the guy's name who set it up, I guess -
there's explanations of the value of this cut up method...
getting away from the control of The Word...
Burroughs goes into this quite a bit...
so, another tool to use...I heard David Bowie used this method for lyrics...
Here are the uncut versions of my Starplane Blog.

The Sandwich Artist
I went into a noisy Subway in downtown San Francisco today. As I was
ordering my sandwich, I asked the Sandwich Artist for "a little
mayonnaise."
She said, "vinaigrette?"
I said, "A little mayonnaise".
She reached for the vinaigrette.
I said, "No, a little mayonnaise."
She looked at me and said "vinaigrette?"
I said, "Mayo."
And then she slathered the sandwich in mayonnaise.
I guess there is a reason they are called Sandwich Artists. They have
their own aesthetic.

Update 6
A guy was telling me about this poet who was touring France doing
verses
about loving America, all patriotism etc., and the French were booing
him.
I said "Wow, a patriotic poet- no subversion? What is this"?
He said he thought being patriotic was cool.
I said "Oh yea, I'm patriotic. I think those Iraqis had a lot of
nerve
putting our oil under their country."
He said "Right. It was never their oil. We should take everything
until
there's nothing left but sand. That they can have."
I said "And you know, we can really use the sand too. We have all
this
beach erosion... We better start shipping that shit over."

Update 5
Here's something I've been chewing on for a while. I am not
necessarily a
fan of the Howard Dean constituency. I think they are all a bunch of do
goodin' yippies. Really there's just no bon vivant in them. Besides,
Dean
isn't talking real change. He just wants his turn in the high chair
like the
rest of them. I guess I'm saying is that I don't buy into the system
because
it's got no soul. No life. It's the fucking borg. A real leader in my
opinion would be like, "Fuck the high chair, I'm takin' it to the
streets."
Score one for Michael McDonald.
God, what kind of world has been left for me and the generations to
come?
The phrase "Soylent Green is people." might actually become a reality.
This
morning I was listening to yet another conspiracy theory cook on the
conspiracy theory cook station. Even if half of what these people are
saying
true, we're fuct'd. You don't have to get down with the mind control
information mule stuff, that's just cocktail conversation. But this
other
stuff -- the Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg, Trilateral
Commission, they are the ones people need read up on. This goes beyond
a
centralization of power. It's a centralization of ideas. Some old money
motherfucker (David Rockefeller) who doesn't want to part with his shit
come
hell or high water set up the Council on Foreign Relations. Bilderberg
was
set up by a Dutch Prince (Behrnard) who was in cahoots with the SS. The
Bush
coozers were also involved with the Nazis. Like the Trading with the
enemy
act during WWII was practically called the My name is Bush and I'm a
nazi
act.
The reason why these people are fuct'd up is because they tell the
average
citizen show fialty to your nation, but secretly sometimes openly
consolidate their interest according to class and duckets. And if you
dont
have those two your'e fuckt. And no, I"m not talking about the gauche
new
money. Fuck Dell. Fuck Gates. I'm talking about people whose money is
as old
as money. Have you ever thought about what money really is? My
advice...don't get into the system. Use cash (as fake as that is). Buy
Gold.
And cut up your credit cards, even if you owe your fistborn.
I told my best friend two years ago I was going to vote for Al Sharpton
if
he ran. That's how galled I am by the whole election process. I'll vote
for
a brother that's got a process himself. I feel like the world is
closing in
on itself sometimes in a good way, and sometimes in a bad way. This
time
it's not the acid that's talkin'. Think about it, the world as we know
it is
at a point in history where people can envision the operatic
apocalyptic end
to Earth as we know it. With the advent of nuclear warfare and the
proliferation of collasal conventional weaponry, every time someone's
got
beef, the big blue marble could blown to smithereens. And then heap all
of
the sneaky shit these cabals of power, influence, and fascism have been
up
to since the turn of the last century and it's no wonder me and alot of
other people are over the system.
I get the sense that the human race is on the cusp an evolutionary
step. I
sense this because I am human and immersed my conscious into the bigger
being that is this planet with the help of some of her plants. Yeah I'm
a
moony. But listen, you can feel the change coming. I'm serious.

Update 4
The Mystery of Natalie Wood
After watching The Mystery of Natalie Wood last night, I still
have trouble believing that Natalie Wood was raped by a famous (though
unnamed) actor right before the making of Rebel Without a Cause.
I mean, Marilyn Monroe? Sure, I can see that. But Natalia Nikolaevna
Zakharenko Wood? Nope. It's just so sad.
Also, it seems her mother was a complete cunt to her -- a Moma Rose to
her Gypsy Rose Lee. In order to get little Natalie to cry for her
first
movie -- where she had to sob after dropping her vanilla ice cream cone
-- her mother showed her a pretty little butterfly and then pulled the
wings off of it. Effective, yes; but not very nice.
And if I were ever to develop a drag persona, I would name her Natalie
Would. Heh. Yeah.

Artistic Crisis
Does a rock band need an audience?
When a rock band that has been together for six years plays a show in
their
hometown, and only four or five people show up to see them (thanks
Jacki and
Matt!), is it time for them to just simply quit?
Or should I have a different attitude toward this phenomenon?

There's a guy @ work this morning wearing a puke green Patagonia fuzzy
jacket that looks like the aardvark coats in better off dead. So, as
you've probably gathered, I need coffee. -skram
