Haut or not

Haut or Not: Your Tattoo

BookieTattooOne light hug from this “arm of wrath” and suddenly your vision of the future looks rather grim. Imagine this guy on a date: “Hey babe, let me get some more pasta for you, and yah, people are phony and socialist or something, and like the world is gonna end.” The Fountainhead and 1984 were both written as arguments against Socialism, though their meanings have been diluted to vague political restlessness in contemporary culture. I just typed “contemporary culture,” someone shoot me. My prob with books like this (‘cept Catcher – and what the hell is Perks?) is that their didactic agenda overshadows their artistic one. As for Choke and its author Chuck, dunno, that hyped up Red Bull-ish man/boy fascination with violent transgression just doesn’t do it for me.

lot49

I like The Crying of Lot 49, but really, the conspiracy should end on the last page. You just know this guy just loves it with an innocent non-Pynchonite asks “what is that?” And BAM – a forty-minute rant on post-modern dystopian literature, half-baked science, and freakin’ weed or something. Imagine this guy on a date: “Hey babe, please blow on my muted horn, it’s like a metaphor. I won’t make a sound.”

lit-vonnegut

Much respect to Vonnegut, but I’m a little weary of his readership; these results for “literary tattoo” suggests either impulsiveness or undying devotion, both of which are scary. It’s littered with Slaughterhouse Five’s “so it goes,” the tombstone, and the ass-asterisk. Certain readerships just weird me out, like Vonnegut’s, S. Thompson’s, Burrough’s, Ann Rand’s, and Anais Nin’s. Just seems kinda emotional, you know? They say everyone killed themselves when that Werther book came out, but that was Europe, and they do things differently there. Yes, writing should evoke emotion, devotion even, but I’m not about to run out and get a tattoo of “Longfellow” on my prick right? I mean, there’s not enough space. Ouch!

      Now you’ve gone too far. Look up George Orwell’s political leanings. I’m kind of upset that you wrote that “1984 was written as an argument against socialism.” 1984 was an argument against Stalinism. George Orwell, better known as , fought in the Spanish revolution with a regiment of SOCIALISTS. He wrote a book about it called “Homage to Catalonia.” I’m kind of disgusted that I knew these things at 13 and at 21 I’m teaching someone so often heralded as an intelligent member of the (albeit self-proclaimed) “well-adjusted” middle-class. Damn, dude. Seriously. Orwell despised Stalin and wasn’t alone in so doing among the left of his day. One thing he was alone in was doing something about it. At the same time he believed in the cause of social justice and the ultimate future of humanity as a communal, not savage, entity of pious compassion. It’s been so long. I am kind of interested now to re-read Catalonia again, but I have so much on my plate this year as reading goes. Always loved it though. Lucky for you, you can read it for free from Gutenberg on your iPhone.

      hi PHM,
      i guess what i meant was ‘big government,’ which in my mind is socialism. communism and totalitarianism is an extreme version of that. sorry if we have different political understandings. you’re at war, i’m at work. go figure. and i don’t have an iPhone, i have a cheap Nokia that you get free w/ AT&T. but i am well-adjusted and middle-class, feels awesome.

      as i was writing this post, i thought “i bet people are going to get on my case for mentioning socialism because the best way to get someone upset is to talk about politics and religion,” and then i thought “it’s okay.”

      i’m actually upper middle class. i was raised in a large house in suburban california. i got 200 dollars each new ‘season’ to buy clothes and school supplies in junior high. my dad paid for my college, and gave me some money when i graduated. i have no loans and am not in debt. i have a absurd office job that pays okay. i enjoy traveling, good wine, good cheese, and living a fairly obscure and leisurely life. i am living inside a Manet painting.

      I always hated “Haut or Not” but this time it’s pretty interesting, and I agree that by this point in time The Fountainhead and 1984 are pretty much the literary equivalent of Che Guevera t-shirts. There’s something really sad about tattooing your myspace/facebook favorite books list onto your arm, especially when the books are so lame. I also think that “Perks” must be Perks of Being a Wallflower and would therefore guess the person whose tattoo that is must be less than 21 years old.

      Like do you clock in at war? Are there coffee breaks? Does everyone at war have an I-Phone?

      Everyone I know that went over to this was is already back state side. They didn’t blog while they were gone. Has war changed in the past couple years?

      Books help people cope. Great writing gives weight to put complicated ideas in place. These people who got tattoos of book stuff were obviously moved. So be it.

      Everybody on the planet is better off reading 1984 than not, Rand’s a better read for lonely elitists who are good at something and Vonnegut’s a chocolate coated horse pill.

      Choke was probably the worst Palanihuihuiuk book. I enjoyed Survivor.

      what does the phrase “gives weight to” mean? it’s so vague as to be useless. come on, speak normal english, not this cliche intellectual gobbelygook. you’re clearly smart enough to articulate your complex ideas w/out relying on rehearsed, vacant phrases.

      My apologies, I take short-cuts.

      What I meant by give weight to means when you have all these ideas flying around like crazy, keeping you from getting sleep, jumbling around with other ideas on what you think is good or bad or right or wrong, and you’re not sure, then you read something, maybe a philosophy that someone’s puts a name to it, or it’s applied in the context of a fictional situation, and then you realize you’ve known something all along and reckon with it.

      “Giving weight to a concept” is like grounding it, or putting it down, or anchoring it. Any way you want to put it right? It’s true, I was being condensed as hell or intentionally vague–leaving it for interpretation.

      There is something to that, about defining yourself by your favourite books, movies, music so that everyone will know that you are “cultured” and “know what is going on” and respect you or something. I guess there is that romanticised side to it, too, where you think you might find someone attractive who likes the same stuff as you do and hook up with them or date them or marry them. Websites like Facebook and Myspace have only amplified this, I think. Seems very “of the now”.

      I mean, People Other than Grunts (POGs), they’re still working 9-5 and 5-9 and whatever, doing radio guard and stuff. We’ve been mostly reduced to pulling gate guard ever since SOFA went into effect. To go out on patrol we’re legally required to take Iraqis with us. We’ve only been going to important functions. We’ve had enough shitty things happen to us in the past few months, so nobody’s complaining, but we all do what we can to avoid boredom. Three hours at the gym and lots of reading and television and ping pong and whatever.

      None of this means that this shit isn’t dangerous. We get reminders now and then that we’re actually at war.

      I think people who like to downplay this for me, instead of letting me downplay it myself, I think those people are trying to compensate for the fact that they didn’t have the balls to do something like this. I think as long as there is a military and as long as you’re paying for it with your taxes, then you should serve in it for at least a time. From the lowest to highest, we all wear the same uniform in this motherfucker, so it makes it harder to be irrationally arrogant.

      i’m sure it’s dangerous. i’m sorry it gets boring. i bet boringly dangerous situations are worse then excitingly dangerous, in some ways.

      balls enough? i don’t know, i always thought i was too anti-establishment to be in the military. the shooting part always seemed alluring, but the ‘sir, yes,sir’ part was a giant detterent.

      plus, there wasn’t a war on when i was 18-21. i was 22 when the towers were struck. i would have been signing up for ‘sir, yes, sir’ only.

      so it wasn’t really a question about balls. i just didn’t want to be told what to do all the time.

      but i’d say, if i could do it again, that the military would have probably been an interesting jingle jangle. things would have gone different.

      currently i work with severely impaired students, and that has an element of danger all its own. i get bit, punched, kicked, have shit thrown at me (true shit, and the proverbial shit.) slapped, hair pulled scratched. three kids tried to stab me this past year, only one with a knife, the other times they just thought they had knives. once actually was with a spoon, somaybe that’s not stabbing, who knows? but no one’s tried to shoot me yet.

      once, though, a kid showed up to school with a hammer, that he said was a ‘hammer gun’ that he was going to shoot me with, but i got it away from him without too big a hassle. he graduated this year. i think he’s been my favorite student ever.

      once, though, a kid showed up to school with a hammer, that he said was a ‘hammer gun’ that he was going to shoot me with, but i got it away from him without too big a hassle. he graduated this year. i think he’s been my favorite student ever.

      “I think people who like to downplay this for me, instead of letting me downplay it myself, I think those people are trying to compensate for the fact that they didn’t have the balls to do something like this. I think as long as there is a military and as long as you’re paying for it with your taxes, then you should serve in it for at least a time. From the lowest to highest, we all wear the same uniform in this motherfucker, so it makes it harder to be irrationally arrogant.”

      woah buddy you are crazier than i originally had thought. no matter how much you try, your daddy is still not going to love you any different.

      you avoid engaging me directly because you are a passive aggressive little bitch with high levels of estrogen.

      like over in iraq if you see a militant do you start shit talking him behind his back but loud enough for him to kind of hear it? i imagine that’s what you would do if you ever saw actual combat.

      you make me smile jackie. oh i dunno, what is any “fight” about? just disagreements in policy or personality i guess.

      little paul made some very misogynistic threats to a female friend of mine. i couldn’t let that slide. but really it has nothing to do with that any more.

      now it’s really a matter of entertainment. see stupid paul doesn’t understand he’s very similar to a young version of me. i mean i wasn’t a sycophant like he is and i don’t think i ever thought joining the military was cool but aside from that he’s a young me. all that piss and balls. so much white aggression. it is kind of fun for me to laugh at him. like fucking with a younger step-brother you don’t really care for but you don’t actually hate either.

      plus i revel in confrontation. it really is my favorite drug.

      thanks bac! word choice is so, so important. like you think i just wrote those two “so’s” on a whim? no: that was major literary decision-making. as was my kickass throwback 50s name. i like your name. part of me wants to add an h to the end of, but i respect your choices.

      as for sabra, thank you too. you are a strong human being and put up w/ my doodoo (another word choice, ie, not shit).

      as for jereme vs phm, well, lordy lordy, that’s a red hot poker in a fireplace. i do find their names equally interesting, though one resembles a vag condition, the other a hip take on a familiar, all american corn-huskin’ name. both awesome!

      what was that little paul? you were looking at your shoes and talking to the concrete again. i couldn’t hear you.

      try addressing me directly. hey you can even write “sir, jereme dean, sir” if it makes you feel at home..

      Maybe I’m not haute, but I would like the Vonnegut tattoos if there were fewer of them. Barcode tatts were sort of cool when no one had them, but now they are a cliche
