    There is only so much a stranger gets to say to me. While it’s true that to communicate with people I don’t already know may somehow be a more effective and opening experience – because people I don’t know aren’t involved in our pre established internal dialog of intimacy. When we talk, we read more than just our lips, we know one another’s facial expressions, and body language, and we have a shared history. While it’s true that intimacy can often breed contempt, it’s also true that when we are involved there is also more time to clarify, express, communicate, and interweave our impressions, opinions, responses, and feelings. It is also true that because there is only so much a stranger gets to say to me, we advertise. Like billboards who’s subtextual messages remind us that we smell and need deodorant, our suggest that our teeth may not be quite as white as they could be, or that our mobile phones are suddenly antiques which run slowly and aren’t thrilling to women anymore we transmit our messages to the world. It can be as thoughtless as a public fart, and a good and unconcerned scratch of the balls, or it can be meticulous, and contracted, like viciously scrubbed nails, and very expensive clothing. Somehow, for myself personally, the more you telegraph your pathology, the faster you lose me, and the less you actually get to say to me.

    Wanting very much to honestly and lovingly connect with my people, I have taken to saying things like “baby.” I say something like “Hey baby, how you feel?” to the muscular greaser. I say this to invite him into my world of love and connection. I say this because if he cannot hear me, or feel me, then he will immediately demonstrate his fear of what I might actually mean by calling him “baby” and tell me more about him in an instant than I could glean in hours of casual conversation. And yet the world has grown dull, and stupid. We speak as if we had trouble getting through the fourth grade, and thus we gave up. Collapsing under the pressure of bullies who teased us for being smart. I myself simply stopped talking, and knew people for years who had never heard me say anything more than “yeah” “no” and “fuck you.” To demonstrate our language is to include everyone – or so we posture – and historically we have used euphemism and obscenity to exclude the world around us. In every language and in every culture there is a code spoken in order to assure one another that we are “cool”. I think of the machine gun fast dialog of the film noir era, or the lazy and illiterate “hey mans” of the hippies, I think of jazz speak, and the crazy one part english, one part Moroccan, one part french speak of the children of Gare du Nord in Paris, or even the Netherlanders who bravely throw down their hip hop rhymes in Dutch. As beautiful and creative as these edited mosaic tongues can be, I have to admit that we have entered the era of the main stream. It is common, commercial language. So we “stay down” and we act dumb, and to truly use the power of words is to alienate ourselves from the warm embrace of the main.

    I challenge you to be a revolutionary. To radically arm yourself with a dictionary, a thesaurus, and a strunk & white and use whatever elaborate words can be found to express the poetry and beauty of your minds and hearts. Just never be afraid to revel in the splendor of “fuck” whenever you can, whenever it’s right, and however you mean it.

    ** Corbin mentioned the lyrics to “The Power” by Snap, and I asked him which version he meant
    and in the chat we discussed the three different versions of the song – The original version where Snap sampled Chill Rob G, the second version (following the lawsuit by Chill Rob G) featuring a very poor imitation vocal, and the version released on Chill Rob G’s album which featured the vocal that Snap Sampled, but poorly reworked music and chorus vocals. We agree that Snap were the better producers, but that Chill Rob G is a far more interesting vocalist, expressing that the original mosaic was far and away the best and most inspired version of this song. While it felt like quite a detour from the theme to suddenly break out into Chill Rob G – Somehow it was obscene, and it seemed to naturally flow…
