SHOPPING
24-7

shirt I saw on the subway. The font and arraingment were football-jersey-style, as though being a consumer was this young lady's sport, an athletic activity. Shopping 24-7, aren't we all? I wonder if she shops in her dreams. The pride associated with this (she is so very proud of it she has purchased a shirt proclaiming it) is both amusing and disturbing at the same time. Is this girl vapid? It's hard to call her "mindless" because she is seemingly completely aware of what she truly loves, and flaunts it. Does she deserve credit for this? Similarly, girls who wear shirts such as "100% BITCH," should I respect them more than bitches who do not declare themselves as such? Or should I be additionally aggravated by their pride in terrorizing others with their demanding and self important personas? Furthermore, does the shirt in fact give them the idea that they have lisence to be a bitch because "you have been warned" so to speak? Back to the SHOPPING 24-7 girl, would we prefer her to have no interests or hobbies at all (if shopping can count as a hobby which I think it can) or shall we recognize that she does not just robotically consume, but takes an ACTIVE interest in it, consider it her personal "thing" and just accept it. Is there something more worthwhile about my hobbies and interests?

LESSON: humans are born to consume. some of them will benefit from this, most will not.

STEVE REICH

Went to see his birthday celebration at Brooklyn Academy of Music last night. It was pretty good.

LESSON: Art is whatever rich white people are interested in.

In other news, last sunday Tommy, Randy, Will and I went on a double date apple picking. So for the past week we've had a bag of apples sitting on our living room floor. I ate one or two here or there, but really we all were aware that we'd soon have a rotting bag of apples on our hands. This is where living in a house full of knives and swords has finally come in handy, For Will has created apple sword baseball, and although it leaves shards of macintoshes all over the carpet, it is DA BOMB. Steve YANKOU (you know, misalligned multiple mohawks, way too tight shirts, weirdo Steve Yankou) called us absurd! But he hasn't tried it yet.
