Clickety Clickety Tock Tick Tock Tock
Who's under your mouse
What's rousing your thoughts
Is your mind your keep is your mound your god
Dreamed up by an Aladdin rubbing his shiny lot
Behind the order behind the peace
Benign or vicious belies the Beast
Beating a rhythm to the rhyme of service
The System that serves is the System that lives

The living know the dead they buried
The System keeps their ghosts alive
In the wombs of brilliant minds conceived
The System that makes rain fall in line
Roses and guns play games of the married
While the Beast feeds on yet another wife
For living its purpose the System gets credit
As its patrons hide its secret life
What the Beast takes the System gives
What the System unites the Beast divides
What the Beast seeks the System completes;
You, are never on its mind

Stand with the shunned, stand with the stars
Stand in the west, stand in the east
Where you stand is now who you are
Around a sun that is now the Beast

Stand in the limelight, stand behind bars
Stand in the battles ignored by the Just
Where you stand is now your crime
Legal is where they draw the line

Stand for the vegans, stand for the gays,
Stand for freedom, stand for equal pay,
Where you stand is now religion
Where you bend is power play.

Stand on the left, stand on the right
Stand for Hilary, stand for Trump
Where you stand is now your fight
For the mighty pen or the mightier gun.

Psychedelic punctuation

I'm just a collection. of punctuation,
Loosely tied, together my life looking, like a sentence;
I look, like I'm all words meaning, and imagination
But really, I'm deep in commas in quasi random motion.
Don't look, at the words they are the beginning, of the notion
Don't nod, at my pretentious, enunciation;
Don't look, into the lines like grooves in the sky ,
Go on sink deeper into the ocean of your mind.

Gargle gargle spit, split split shuffle
I'm a cup of commas, I'm a question marking deck
Rumble tumble kiss, skip skip mumble
I'm a train of broken thoughts crashing down the tracks
Come come come come come with me
Let's hold hands and pretend we're the flock and the flack
Run run run run run with me
Let's live in the rim the rom and the ram

Period. Period. Period. Period.
History doesn't lie between cracks men do that.
Period. Period. Exclamation, Period!
The line on the dot oh what's that?

Full stop.
Full stop.
Full stop.
Full stop.
Full stop.
Full stop.
Full stop.
Full stop.

二足走行は非常に技術が必要な動きです。でも誰もがそれを「危ない」と言わない。練習って、そんなもんです。

One man kissed another
And the herd fell apart

One Instagram shot

One Instagram shot
Captured for me the rawness
That was Hong Kong
The rage the thirst for growth
Uncontainable,
Rough,
Like it was determined
Never to achieve the sleek perfection
That is Japan to me.
Like it knew in its fabric
That when you can tear yourself
Out of the illusion of perfection
The courage to dream
To reach the stars
Becomes a little more real.

The single most privileged group on earth must be the human beings.

They are so powerful the have largely attained immunity in the food web - as much as an aberration it may sound, most humans go through life eating without ever imagining getting eaten. They feel justified to monopolize large areas of land by making it uninhabitable by any species but themselves. They habitually kill other animals and store the meat until it becomes inedible, and then simply burn it all up, without even returning it to the scavengers. And they will continue to amass more and more control over the planet so that no other species may be considered their equal.

If you have never feared getting eaten, if you have never felt guilty of owning a home bigger than what your biological needs require, if you have never needed to risk danger for every meal, if you have never thought the overpopulation by your species has made the earth less abundant, you must be human. Because this is what privilege is like - your brain blocks it from your awareness so that you don't have to struggle with the fact that you have broken your social contract, your promises, to the community that made you.

Isn't the princess dream the worst thing you can give a daughter? It's like making her live your perpetual denial that your dream had failed you the moment you were born.

二人の間の距離を引っ張り合いながら、自分の軌道を絶対譲らない関係が欲しい。

包まれたい。ミートパイのミートのように。

IMAGINE: what would the world be like if, other than unwritten promises, everything had an explicit expiry date : money, cash, tangible and non-tangible assets, employment contracts, marriage contracts, laws, degrees, employment history - everything that makes it possible to create inherited wealth?

There are three pillars that keep traditions alive: its usefulness to the individual, its necessity to perpetuate itself, and its usefulness to people in power. The first is what people speak of, the second is what people do not speak of, and the third is what makes people say it's just the right thing to do.

If forever is the time between the time we're born till the day we die, then, friends, we we all born to live forever.

One of the things that continually bother me, is that I can't find anything that I actually care enough about, to be able to stand the thought of having it permanently tattooed on my skin.

今日思った。単純に楽しんでいたいながら、タンパク質は大地の恵みであれば、人の倍タンパク質を頂いて筋肉を作ってる自分に、be strong to be usefulを実践できる人間になりたい。

Aliens sending battleships to overtake earth would be an absurd waste of resources. All you need is to send an AI unit to become that 1% that controls just about everything around here.

If it's easy to finish, it's not worth starting. If it's easy to start, it's not worth finishing.

Maybe we are so hooked on our digital gadgets is because we don't want to have figure out how to enjoy being alive.

Employers give you comfortable office chairs because it would be awful if the lasso around your neck killed you by accident just because a leg on your chair broke.

Languages are like bridges. They connect you to places across chasms that you cannot otherwise overcome. But that's about it. If you don't move on across the bridge, you ain't getting anywhere.

TNBT : The End of Advertising

TNBT : The End of Advertising

Humans evolve, albeit at a glacial pace compared to technology. But with the density and volume of information coming at us everyday, we are bound to develop our ability to filter out irrelevant information from our senses, and soon we will no longer register advertisements in our minds. We'll have dual screens that we multi task on, should one of them be held up by advertising, making online advertising a black hole for your bucks.

Advertising will change. Advertisers will work more closely with content creators and people they sponsor to ensure their brand appears in an "actionable" manner with each view of any content that is of genuine interest to the audience.

Movies will integrate sponsors' products directly into footage, and psychologists will help edit to ensure the branding is promoted by but not intruding on the story. Rendering technology will allow product branding to be swapped realtime in footage. Tap any branding in movies to order a video catalogue "toilet break" on your other device.

Digital print will not have ugly banners and click baits but have AI- generated product reviews that seek to address issues raised by the text. Read about a refugee crisis and a sponsored floatnote (footnote) linking to a donation page will be linked. Read about a sports event and it links to AI generated profiles of athletes, with live feeds of training sessions at sponsoring gyms and training programs you can sign up for online.

Geolocation sponsored content will be mainstream. Mark on your shopping list you need to pick up shampoo, and your lunch will be partly sponsored by the groceries store across the road, which will send your shopping list a map right down to the shelve with the product, and the time needed to pick it up. Offer any personal information to geolocation ads and get a permanent discount at participating stores.

Ubiquitous omni-search will replace plain spell check. Type a happy-birthday note to someone and use the word "present" and it will suggest a list of products that they can click on a choose to redeem. Enter "lunch at Chinese restaurant" into your calendar and it will suggest suitable locations. Sign the restaurant's recommendation list, and if your friend visits the restaurant, get a discount on your next visit.

The possibilities are endless. Why are we still stuck at competing for that spot on the screen everyone wants to ignore?

Sometimes I feel like I'm just a run-of-the-mill "typical" fella without much imagination, living in a reality 10 years behind where I'm really from.
