All of humankind seek to find some form of ultimate meaning in life but to actually do so is humanly impossible.  Ultimately, the individual can never truly be certain about anything, especially when one considers the vast, nearly infinite amount of unknown information still inhabiting the known (and ever expanding) universe.  Eventually the individual will reach a stage of disharmony upon the realization that their "unique" voyage for a parsimonious, universal truth cannot be reconciled in a world born out of pure chaotic coincidence.  The individual has now faced the realization of The Absurd and must choose how to respond:
I)                    Suicide
Suicide, the option of taking one’s own life to simply escape existence, is one possible response that is not a truly viable option.  To end existence in the face of Absurdity does not actually counter the Absurd, rather it is simply a submission into a new form of the Absurd that is of equal or greater value in nature.
II)                  Spiritual Belief Beyond the Absurd
The individual may alternatively choose to believe in some spiritually transcendental realm beyond The Absurd that actually contains an ultimate meaning.  This belief is not rational as there is no tangible or provable ground to assert such a notion and, as a result, this pious assertion is itself a form of philosophical suicide.  If the individual chooses to reject this method they are faced with one final, viable strategy:
III)                Acceptance of the Absurd
The individual simply accepts the lack of ultimate meaning and concedes to the Absurd, choosing to continue to exist in spite of the Absurdity of the Universe.  The active revolt against the Absurd paired with the simultaneous acceptance that it is an unstoppable force of nature results in the individual creating their own form of personal meaning and allows the individual to achieve absolute freedom.
Accept the directionless commotion of the universe and drift along. Be content with your newfound freedom and take solace in the simple idea that we`re all floating along with you.

The Thrashtray, Vol. 1

Deathlok (The Mixtape)



It's all about fuckin' thrashin' man. Fuckin' T, H, R, A, SHIN. You know gettin' some tunes together that you wanna rage to. Y'know? Like when some random fuckin' Sheila looks at you weird for wearin' yer battle vest in the summer and you go "What the fuck do you want?" and then she just keeps on walkin'. Fuck that shit man. Fuckin', the types of tunes that make you wanna rip up some cold ones and just let shit fly. Like when I'm partying down and people call across the room "What do you want to hear DH?" and I yell back "Throw on some fuckin' Testament!" and they go "Sorry man, all we got is Neil Sedaka".

Fuckin' Neil Sedaka man.

VIVIVI


















I should start with...
It is an object that helps to dramatize a basic disjunction, a human condition in which things inevitably seem too late-belated,in fact, because we want things to come before ideas, before theory, before the word, whereas they seem to persist in coming after: as the alternative to ideas, the limit to theory, victims of the word. If thinking the thing, to borrow Heidegger's phrase, feels like an exercise in belatedness, the feel- ing is provoked by our very capacity to imagine that thinking and thingness are distinct.  
-Bill Brown
This is a collective of 'things.'
