Tatt-ered “Cø††øn” and Cottonmouth Kisses

I†† [ eye doublecross ] is not just a band;
they’re “a low-fi hypersigil, casting spells in various mediums .”

[CUE EXAGGERATED SHRUG]

Cool by me, brah.

Though when I discovered the basis for “Cø††øN”—
the latest single the duo conjured & released into the world
was [quote] “influenced by [ my book ] Cottonmouth Kisses” ?

Well, the excitement level racheted a bit Richter,
not gonna lie. . .

Then, upon hearing the track?

That’s when the really good news occurred.

I like it.

As in : I mean —
I really, really like it.

No need to elaborate, nor to “re-visit”. . .
but we’ve all had at least one friend whose
band/stand-up comedy act/spoken word performance —
[ thought I'd keep the playing field fair ]

Tumblr Reciprocation : Life Beyond The “68-&-Owe-One” Mentality

Oh, sweetness. Is it too much to fathom, the thought of dipping into the population?
This business with the little people—you know, your “followers”. . .
Can you simply Not. Be. Bothered?

Morrissey

Excluding the rare exception [ namely, bashin' my dash with—well, content I don't want to encourage;
hence, the deliberate omission]
, I don’t understand why a person wouldn’t “follow back.” Granted,
I’m still a novice in the grand scheme of tumblrification, but I don’t know of a means by which
one can tell how many “followers” a person has. . .nor do I care to, quite frankly.

I mean, MySpace has gone down the shitter—it doesn’t even have a name anymore;
that’s how far removed it is from social relevance.

Didn’t the myopic Don’t-You-Know-How-Many-”Friends”-I-Have mindset accompany it?

tumblr

[ Seriously? But SERIOUSLY ]

Lindsay Lohan

It’s rudimentary, my take on this sitch:
the primary function of tumblr’s dashboard [ or "feed" ] is that of an open dialogue, a continuous conversation
in which anyone from the 200 countries scattered around this curious planet we inhabit
has a unique opportunity [ so long as there's internet access, though that's a given—
I might as well be telling you it gets dark at night. . . ]

Because tumblr’s predominant means of communication is by way of a visual vocabulary, the opportunity
of which I speak is the ability for an individual to participate in the site’s ostensibly endless discussion
without the usual complications 6,800 different languages present.

possession, GIF

Sure, music is a ‘universal language’; we’re familiar with the adage, most of us.

In the case of tumblr, however,
the ability to upload videos & mp3s further validates my premise/rationale, rather than dilutes it.

mod chick, gif
[ She's So Happening, via ThreeFrames.net ]

So : short of the long? Yeah, I follow back.
I also acknowledge that the sum of one’s “followers” does not deify.

[ Icarus much? I'd mutter Give Me A Break, but we have our day in the sun : each & every. . . ]

Oh, & when I attend a potluck dinner?

I don’t only eat the dish I brought.

GIF It To Me! [ Princess Hijab & Other Animated Awesomesaucery ]

As A Kid, I Often Said I Wished I Could Speak In Hieroglyphics

symbols, animated gif

How rad it would be, I thought
[ though—since the timeline I'm referencing is circa rural Arkansas—
quite likely not verbatim, my choice of vernacular ]

If I could “talk with pictures”: fancy symbols—except
not carved in stone, but rather contained
in word bubbles,

like in a comic strip . . .

eye of horus

Y E A H .

A funny thing, time : cycles : that
symbol of the serpent swallowing its tail

All these years later, & where do I find myself?

Obsessed with animated .gifs, for fuck’s sake—&
yearning to communicate through means of a visual vocabulary.

I mean, let’s face it…does this gem excavated-from-the-uncredited-swag-on-imgur
not speak volumes?

casting away, animated gif

Or how about this for a response?

[ Source: Sex With God : tumblr ]

& this flash-tastic action? Is it worth the proverbial thousand words?
Or does it have no value, since you’re such a worldly, highly-experienced Millennial?

[ So tough, the inured existence of a Trustafarian on tumblr, oui? ]

GIF, GIF it to me

Hasty generalizations & snide jabs swept aside like unpaid internships, corporeal punishment,
or any scenario in which Unique, Special Beings aren’t coddled—even & especially
if [ HARMPH! ]so-o-o bored.”

Sure : sometimes animated awesomesauce does get served with syllables & consonants…

For example: this little ditty by Seacrestcheadle, which—if Facefail permitted such forms of communication—
I would’ve plastered many moons ago on the ‘Wall’ of my pal Ugly Shyla[ because yeah, She 'Gets It ']

internet famous, animated gif

Alas! Seacrestcheadle isn’t why I’ve chosen to “get bloggy” this fine day
[ though worthy a post of his own, indeed! ]

Au contraire, I’ve intended to post about the following individual
for quite some time now, & finally: here we are—&
here the moment is…

If by chance you’re not familiar with the guerilla art of

Princess Hijab

niqabizing-art-by-princess-hijab

Then please consider this a formal invitation to become acquainted, your
introduction by way of brief video clip [ courtesy : Babelgum ]

Admitted : at times the six-minute doc plays w-a-y-y-y Richter in the histrionics department
[ not to imply I don't—my guess is that producers urged Hijab to "ratchet up the drama"
for the cameras ] :  to “raise the stakes,” ”show the element of danger,” “provide some
conflict”…as if the visual assaults she orchestrates aren’t confrontational enough.

However, to be fair [ I mean : gauche much, Mary?  I'm only using their content! ]
I could be making excuses for the artist, when she’s portrayed exactly as she is.

GIF, GIF it to me

O.K.!

Now that you have a bit of background info, I don’t feel as if I’m doing a dis-service by
sharing ‘only’ the digital art she creates.

Y’see, aside from recalcitrant acts of  Hijabization,
the Princess constructs some friggin’ amazing GIFs; must admit.

& since ultimately, that’s what I’m ‘on about’ today

An Incendiary Matter [The Creative Spirit Is Contagious]

Δ

Greetings, Beloved Darklings, Queerios, Style Fiends
& Ne’er-Do-Wells…

As the sun begins its descent here in this Babylon-on-the-Pacific
commonly known as Los Angeles,
I propose a ‘Theme for The Evening’

[ to do with as you will—or conversely, as you won't,
if that's the case ]

fire, animated GIF, three frames

Inspired by this GIF-tastic little gem I’ve reblogged,
courtesy of the kind folks at Three Frames
[ attribution hereby duly noted, please.&.thanks ]

The motif proposed is that of

ᐞ△ᐞ · f i r e  · ᐞ△ᐞ

Represented by a certain symbol
with ancient ties to the practice of alchemy,

Fire is Elemental.

fire

“The energy of Life manifests in two forms, Fire & Air. While both are predominately active in nature, fire is the more active of the two, with Air being slightly passive because of the partial Water Element in its makeup. Potential Matter manifests its energy as Water & Earth.”

“The Alchemical Sulphur, or Soul, of a thing predominates in the animating principles of energy (Fire) & intelligence (Air); Alchemical Salt, or the physical body of a thing, predominates in unconscious forces, psychic, & instinctual intelligence (Water) & solid matter (Earth); Alchemical Mercury, or general life force, predominates in intelligence (Air) & instinctual forces, & psychic energy (Water), as such it is the link, or bridge, between the higher forces of Sulphur & the lower body of matter.”
[ source ]

Nevertheless, my intent behind this post is not to point you in a single direction,
But rather propose a topic to set one’s rhetorical embers ablaze, so to speak…

fire dancer, animated .gif

SΔID ·  ΔNOTHER  ·  WΔY :

What role does fire play in your life?

Is it astrological?
[ Aries, 8th of April, in my case ]

Psychological?
[ Something you fear/something that incites desire, or is erotically-charged? ]

Or, better still:
Upon seeing or hearing the word,
Are there connotations that have little or nothing to do with what I’ve mentioned?

firestarter-3-by-elizaveta-porodina

[ "Firestarter (3)" by Elizaveta Porodina ]

Whatever medium[s] of communication you might choose—words of your own, or that of another;
photography, [ ditto, self-created or reference points of inspiration ]; technology
[ case in point: the animated .GIF ]; paint pencil canvas paper spray paint graffiti
billboards buildings a keyboard the cello lit candles incantations magic mayhem…

However, by whichever/whatever means you might choose,
I look forward to seeing not just how you respond to ‘me,’ but rather
something infinitely greater: the universal dialogue of creative expression, &
the means by which it connects us, asserts our relevance
at a specific moment in time

within/among/& along the infinite umbilical cord that connects humanity,
the splendor of nature, & the universe.

Are You A Victim Of The Modern Witch-hunt?

[a quick check-list]:

How have relations with your peers been as of late?
Have any of your friends seemed distant, unavailable?  Perhaps a bit stand off-ish?
Or even worse: has anyone begun to treat you with suspicion?  Spoken to you with a distrusting tone?
Conducted a rash & volatile act upon your arrival—say, for example, the frenetic strumming of an
acoustic guitar to the tune of a [quote] “power ballad”?  &—if dare say that be the case—was
aforementioned ::SHUDDER:: stadium serenade coupled with an egregiously off-key
rendition of  lyrics such as “Don’t Stop Believin’”?
(Stop.  Believing.  What?!)

Quite frankly, do you feel as if your interests incite an impending sense of moral panic?

Are you persecuted…                                                                             for your taste in music?
