That was Madonna at the end in the cars scenes on the cassette tape player:P Lost my melon:P

melon just slipped into the unconscious, it's back now :)

it's Happy on every level, the unconscious is a conceptual phenomina that is impossible to constrain with conscious thought, this makes me happy. It's a mad chaotic anarchic indescribable id! And I'm using scrabble words to describe it.

buddhism! Wasn't your last translation on the same subject? I recall reading about Jack Keroauc where he sat up on a mountain all summer as a forest ranger contemplating Buddha, and after his stint as a forest ranger he spent book hanging at jazz bars hoping rails and swinging with the hep cats at all night parties,... what a cool guy, He spent a lot of time in Denver, Hated it here. :P

Keroauc wrote his most famous book in Denver. In that book he, "On the Road," He describes how the culture was stultifying to his east coast sensibility, yet what he writes about Denver makes it seem very cool. There's nothing else between Kansas city and Salt Lake,... The weird thing about Denver is how it's gone boom and bust so many times,... :P

only one day? Some people live their whole lives here:P It took 30 days to edit the Keroauc book, probably done in New York. Life is so much more intense here, one day is worth fifty days in most other parts of the world. :P

A hip teacher in high school turned me on to the book.

High school was a blast. It really is a testing ground for success, most people who do well in High School, go on to do well in other areas of life. The teachers I had were exemplary and highly focused on creating a positive learning environment for the kids. There is so much negative to say about the school system, but when it is broken down at its core, the negativity comes from a lack of education and an inability to learn.
This negativity can be attributed to the anti social attitudes of the Hippie Generation which tuned in and dropped out (of mostly well to do middle class social strata) and their fore fathers the Beat Generation. Before this there was the Lost Generation, the Moabites and the Canaanites. These are the people responsible for lowering the standard Not the teachers (the people who dropped out inadvertently became the new school). Buy the time I entered school Latin was dropped and traded for DOS. There is a prevailing sentiment that this great land is no longer the land of opportunity. They are teaching this in high school, so when kids run through the halls,...

I can't imagine, most information about Poland which filters into the west is propaganda. Kesey was required reading in the same class that touted Keroauc. Hippy influence, punk was important but it really is hippies rebelling against themselves, the music I could call closest to my age bracket was demolished by the same demographic,...

1989-90 I went to college primarily because the punk scene evaporated, everyone fled to SanFransico, Skinheads had demolished the community at punk shows, it was all about violence, Ska and grunge music was big but not here in this backwoods,... College offered a photo course and I enrolled for darkroom access, eventually I started photographing bands, jazz punk ,... and started music again in various bands, but it's tough doing both, I have no time for either, ha! As far as not working at all and being a WIFE only,... This was wrecked by the post menopausal hippies in the form of women's lib, when women entered the workplace it emasculated men for one thing, because woman do almost everything better than men,... but in a sense it didn't make for better wages, now dual income houses bring in the same as single income families used to bring home. Independence at a cost. I miss the cold war too, my teens were colored by a "who cares, they could drop the Bomb," now with the current state of instability in the world the gauze of 1989-90 and the reunification of Europe,... I missed all that,...
