Ninth-grader James Hendon was handed a five-day suspension from San
Bernardino's Pacific High School apparently for wearing lipstick and
eye makeup. He intends to continue wearing the makeup when he goes
back to school. From an ABC7.com report that includes a strange
"detail photo" slideshow of Hendon's lips, eyes, and mohawk:
Herndon says his black lipstick and red eye makeup
express the Wiccan religious beliefs he shares with his mother, a
priestess in the neo-pagan faith. He contends the suspension violates
his constitutional right to free expression.

Meanwhile......
attraction gives us the opportunity to pout and preen - to fix up
and make ourselves the most of what we are - maybe one aspect,
jockeying up the toughness for example, or just smelling nicer than
normal. And then if we have a chance to strut a bit and show our
stuff, and we don't find the mate-rial attraction we maybe haven't
quite admitted we're looking for we have another excuse Refused in my
desires, I drive with the windows rolled down, cold San Francisco
night leaking in through the Creatures and the heat blasting from my
dashboard. I take a turn fast and hold my car under control. I don't
want to make the cops think I'm worth pulling off the road. But I do
want to claim some stupid sense of power. I imagine myself in the
first quiet moment after the crash - so desparate to have speed and
eager to keep pushing forward, now in my car where I can make it
happen, not like the bar where conversation limited by ambient
television and other patrons keeps me from depth charging as I prefer
- in my car I can accelerate, and find myself ahead of some cars until
I meet cars still faster and maybe take them on. And maybe someday
I'll find myself wrapped around a concrete barrier, my hands can't
move to turn off the music if the CD hasn't skipped that song might
become even more poignant as I feel blood leaking out around my legs
and my hair plastered to my face in front of my eyes unable to move
maybe paralyzed or just pinned down by my machinery distorted by
stupidity, driving hunger All for the sake of some drama, I would feel
dumb afterwards. But still I seek the night. You have to get up early
to drive, don't you? She mentioned after our two drinks had each been
drained. Hard to push the dawn and hold all the other life aspects in
constellation. I'll put it another way. I have no home, my active
belongings are mostly in my car. Some wanderers find affection on the
road. I've been working to minimize my impact as a guest, working
overtime to land again in my own situation, to have a home I can
control for human commerce. Not like a bluesman I remembered who would
stay with friends and sleep with them too. That might be easier for
meeting some of my needs - Most of my physical affection in the last
week has come from a 15 month old, I told her. All the sense memories
came flooding back then, peering up at the jackalope sculpture on the
wall of this watering hole. Cradling her diapered bum in my arm as she
pointed up the street into Chinatown. Hoisting her above my head
cackling as I tried to keep her from crying. Clasping her wriggling
body against my chest as she screamed for her departing mother. These
are my recent intimate human moments. Some people seem attracted to me
but I don't feel I could take responsibility for them as I feel I
should after anything involving fertile fluids. So I tend not to get
too physical with those folks. I told her that too. Why are we talking
about this? she laughed defensively, though still continuing the topic
of living single. I slouched lower and lower in our vinyl bench. I had
a giant pimple that had grown on my upper lip. A friend counseled me
to pop it. I didn't, I wouldn't. Well, he laughed, that will be a sort
of test. She didn't even notice it, she said. I switched barstools to
give her the zit-free side of my face. There wasn't much leaning
forward into the unlimited night, into the ice water in her eyes or
mine. It was steady conversation, shared life phases, experiences in
common and questioning motivation. I wondered if we had divergent
ethics. I was looking for a reason that I didn't want to manifest all
my desire in her in that moment. Or maybe that I couldn't. I tried to
be honest. But I didn't have any goal. As our wandering conversation
with little context drew to a close I still wanted something. Sex
might have been nice - something taught in my pants under her hand hot
flesh against my neck sigh and hand in her hair pulling her towards
something eagerly unanticipated. But instead, I had myself, driving
too fast towards no home and someone else's sleeping baby.

Maybe Mandy? Does he have a constant, pounding soundtrack to his

THAT'S
AWFULLY PERSONAL: GENIES, DECLARING WAR,
AND CELEBRATING BAD TASTE
THAT'S
AWFULLY PERSONAL: GENIES, DECLARING WAR,
AND CELEBRATING BAD TASTE
06/29/2004 03:30 PM

Here are my belated answers to the last few weeks'
That's Awfully Personal
questions:
Genies
Q: A
genie appears before you and says: "I am merely an apprentice genie,
so
I can't grant three wishes, but I have the power to change the
personality of humankind. If you want me to do so, you must complete
each of the following two statements with a one-word adjective that
describes a human quality or character trait. The word you choose for
the second question can't be the opposite of the word you chose for
the
first. Are you ready? (1) I wish every human on Earth was
__________. (2) I wish no human on Earth was
__________."
The genie then waves her hand and makes it so. The
question is: What
are the two adjectives you would choose? How much would you, yourself,
be transformed by the genie's changes? Describe a situation when you
exhibited the trait you chose to abolish in statement (2), or wish you
had exhibited the trait you chose to give everyone in statement
(1).
|
A:
(1) conciliatory and (2) greedy. I believe we're all born fair and
generous, but for most of us something happens to our egos and psyches
as we grow. We get damaged, wounded, and we end up, as a defensive
mechanism, unreasonable, selfish and acquisitive. If the genie could
set us all right again, I think we would immediately see the answers
to
Earth's, and our own, problems, and be able and willing to work with
others to solve them. How much would I be changed? Probably more than
I'd like to admit. I try to be fair and generous, but I have far more
than my fair share, I give up far too little of my time to help
others,
and I am very intolerant of meanness, conservatism, untruthful and
unfair behaviour, to the point I can't stand to be near such people,
let alone try to work with them. I regret every ungenerous act (and failure to act) and every
unreasonable act of my life, of which there have been many (though
fewer as I get older), and regret most of all the many times I have
lost my temper, since it has accomplished nothing.

Declaring War

Q: You've heard about the war on crime, terrorism, drugs,
high prices etc. Steve Raker thinks that this is inevitably going to
lead to war on: clogged drains, rude behaviour, undercooked fish, tall
vehicles in front of you, inadequate kitchen counter space, uneven
tire
wear, dust, computer batteries that run low too fast, and, my
favourite, "War on Waiting for Someone to Get Off the Phone When All
You Need is Like Two Seconds of Their Time and if They Would Just Look
Your Way You Could Probably Even Do it With Hand Signals".
What
pet peeves do you think we
should 'declare war' on? Extra points if you can provide a picture of
one of them.
|
A:
- War on telemarketers who start their call with
"Hello, Mr/Ms (mispronounce your name), how are you this
evening?"
- War on people who drive exactly the speed limit in
the left lane.
- War on people who never have anything positive
to say
about anything, and anyone who has ever said "That's a dumb idea" or
"We tried that and it didn't work".
- War on grudges: "If X is
coming to your party I'm not coming because in 1997 his dog barked at
my dog and he didn't apologize."
- War on f
ashion slavery,
especially pants that are too loose, tops that are too tight, brand
names on sweatshop clothes and interminably boring colours for
menswear.
- War on ridiculously overpriced incredibly bland
Italian food served in tiny portions on gigantic plates.
- War
on inflexible design: Houses and offices and cars
should be built so you can move, add or remove walls and doors and
windows, Lego-style, when your needs or family size or workteam size
changes and you need less, more, or differently-configured
space.
- War on anyone who has ever been mean or cruel to an
animal or a child.
- War on people who cancel at the last
minute.
- War on fences, entrance gates, and "no
trespassing" signs.
- War on Orwellian language: Patriot Act, No
Child Left Behind Act etc.
- War on chainsaws before noon on
weekends.
- War on stuff that breaks before it's worn out.
- War on conformity.

Celebrating Bad Taste

Q: One
of the phenomena of the 1970s was the Kitsch Party. Participants were
required to wear an item or ensemble that exhibited incredibly bad
taste, and to bring a household or artistic item of similarly
abominable taste. You were not allowed to
purchase or make tasteless items just for the occasion -- they had to
be in your house, or borrowed. Everyone voted on the most tasteless
items. At one such party, the 'winning' outfit consisted of a lime
green and olive spandex miniskirt with ruffles, topped with a bizarre
orange designer-made crop-top with a single shoulder strap. The
winning
household/art object was a ceramic ashtray featuring a 6" tall Jesus
on
the cross.
If you were invited, along with a significant other,
to such a Kitsch
Party, what borrowed or closeted outfit would you wear, and what would
you get your significant other to wear? What owned or borrowed work of
art or decor would you bring? And what's the most tasteless item of
clothing or art you have ever seen anywhere?
Extra points if you provide pictures, and double points if you're
wearing the items in question. |
A:
My neighbours have never forgotten when I used to walk Chelsea, and
often stop off and visit, wearing a pair of badly faded, very short,
incredibly comfortable salmon-colour running shorts. "Don't you have
any shorts of your own, that you have to wear your kids' castoffs?" I
was told on more than one occasion. Clearly people do not think these
are attractive on a 50-year-old man with pale, out of shape legs. So
if
I could find them, I would wear those wonderful shorts, along with a
cutoff white frayed muscle shirt that has splotches of beige paint all
over it. I wouldn't presume to suggest to my wife what she should wear
to a Kitsch party. And although my wife thinks it's funny, my
household/art item of choice for a Kitsch party would be one of those
old "accordion" prints that look different when you look at them from
opposite sides. Hers is illustrated above from both sides.

"Black Like
me" : the notion of "Race" is know known to be
scientifically
meaningless, but now roll back the clock to 1959 :
"...John Howard Griffin (1920-1980) was a true Renaissance
man. Having fought in the French Resistance and been a solo observer
on an island in the South Pacific during World War II, he became a
critically-acclaimed novelist and essayist, a remarkable photographer
and musicologist, and a dynamic lecturer and teacher. On October 28,
1959, after a decade of blindness and a remarkable and inexplicable
recovery, John Howard Griffin dyed himself black and began an odyssey
of discovery through the segregated American South. The result was Black Like Me, arguably the single most important
documentation of 20th century American racism ever written....Because
of Black Like Me, Griffin was personally vilified, hanged in effigy in
his hometown, and threatened with death for the rest of his
life." What The iPods Are Wearing These Days

where O'Rite Technologies' Webcam 352 looks like Kenny from South

defining feature of the webcam is that it comes with little outfits to
dress it up. Specifically, as reviewed by I4U, a little Mexican get-up
complete with sombrero.
This is it, folks. We have seen the future, and it is tiny
sombreros for consumer electronics. I could not be more proud of the
