Quotes
You don't become the writer you are meant to be until your parents are dead.
-Chekov, given by AB in response to the visceral brutality embraced in Eutaxis (grievechronic, book one).
Sometimes, ingenuity comes through pain... in the ass.
The Angel (... trying so hard not to write "that's what they said~")
Omg, DUDE! WHO talks Thaaat much During meditation?How the fuck! Geeez! RUFNKiddding me?! Abort mission! Abort! Where's Deepak?Ffs!
(4minutes in- God fusses 'give it another minute' at his favorite)
Imagine offering five million dollars to murder the president of a country that just paid you everything their country owed you...and then, when your coup crumbles, getting on the global podium and accusing thaaat president of using his country's gold reserves(that the west no longer has access to due to paying that debt) to pay the men protecting him from harm. This general is up there pissed his bounty on dude's head was out-bid.
"We can't get the usual suspects to coup d'etat this leader because he can pay more than we'd dignify paying for his death! It's not allowed!😩"
It's like the High Table in the John Wick movies putting a $14 million bounty on his head & the assassin offering $20 million to all the other assassins who kill those assassins getting out of bed for cheap. & the high table whingeing about the chess move.
Ignore the uncle Tom dog whistle of who they got to whine about their dumb coup failing.
Pay attention to the fact that the country paid off it's debts...& this country tried to kill him for it.
Those aren't just shots fired over Africa's head. That is a threat to the population of the United States too.
Because the entire thing runs on 'them' holding 'debts' over your head.
When you truly unpack interest traps, you'll never look at any of this the same.
That's why Japan selling US treasury bonds while Tdawg was showboating against China scared them shitless.
That's why the UK quietly bought up as much of what Japan sold off as it could carry(remember the revolutionary war). This country is too young & has been given upper teenaged grace in the world for a long time.
Wait until African countries making the moves they're making start moving on those bonds. Just wait.
& Deion Saunders is cocky (WAS & IS) AS ALL GET OUT. Rightfully so.
THAT HE HAS RAISED THIS SOFT-SPOKEN POWERHOUSE...Has yall shook.
Yall haters just commiserated with each other trying to teach him a lesson when YALLL were the ones making that 1st draft pick noise and he didn't take the bait
{ Because his Daddy knew the thunderdome he was 'bout to walk into}
& inadvertently gave him the fn Tom Brady treatment?
Woaw.
Lawd, if you gone resurrect the real dawg pound come on with that then!!
Because you know~Cleveland gone show out with that kid. You KNOW how crazy it's gone be if THIS is that year!
& Fuck Bellichick! Yeah, STILL! Not for the new cheatyballs stuff, for the ole yonder imma move to Baltimore mess.
There's a difference between judging, discerning and witnessing. & we bring both the victorious and failed parts of our own narratives to each of them, looking outward. There's a reason the tales that grasp us, do. It's all trying to help us cut the fuckery. & truly finally Live.
Just...LOOK. For fucks sake.
They used the exact same formula on the children of the hippies thaaat made them pull out of Vietnam. Y'all just didn't realize it, even as genXers, millenials & now genZee-ers are suffering under the boot of it.
"Where?!"you say?
Student Loan debt. Designed to create the same kind of bottleneck on the brunt of their own offspring to ensure the uprisings of the 60s Never return with that force for change.
That's right. These oldheads- who are now in their 70s & 80s- looked at us as a 3rd world country to contain, diminish & demolish if need be to stay in power.
Everything THEY do with their companies to destroy the planer they try to foist on us to carry the guilty burden of INSTEAD of stopping the destruction, knowing they've wired hordes of us to put on that guilt like hair shirts in performative nonsense.
Just...tilt your head & look the fuck around. While you still can.
iiii'd bet Beyonce got cajoled into Making that hooch BECAUSE she'd turnt out so many folks splicing libations for giggles, just to watch folks drop like "Daaaang~".
It's not the booze... it's letting yer freak flag fly in what you do To it that's the earthy superpower.
Why is my bzooka on the shoulder, not even having seen the flipping movie yet?
Because I am not watching...the same shit yall watching. I remember March 2023. Like the back of my fn hand.
I recall the shift yall may not recall. Creed three LIT UP THE STRATOSPHERE. NO ONE COULD STOP TALKING ABOUT THE FN amazing job Michael B. Jordan had done directing that film. Right around the 15th...the tonalities started to change. It was in the wind. The approbation was so hearty kid was literally untouchable{ thank God for his moms teaching him how to navigate shit}. They couldn't touch him without the entire world popping off in outrage...and they Knew it.
So they went after Majors. Who'd been being set up from jump as it was. To be leveraged, great talent though he was .
Angel, GIOYT.
&See~THis is the genius of that track... Never even had to look it up but it sounds like a love letter to 60s TV theme songs reconfigured in the mind of a crazy child into a hunting song, rammed through a calliope! People hear the insane circus melody but they miss the Hawaii 5-O, languid bossa nova flow under it. I should see what he says about it.
This was what was in my ears trekking for ½ a decade with AOLAB.
It matches how trains bounce.
... thaaat was the true test. Almost got me back out there acting a fool, that track. Devil was impressed with mah wherewithall for a while.
Eventually was at the root of all tha (fun) madness that popped off in Miami a few later. AOLAB started with my giving in to that fn song's ...whathaveyous.
The Angel, On saved but on sabbatical seasons.
yeah, everybody shows the jungle gym of death...nobody points out that's not how you crazy kids Received those playgrounds. That's 5 years of "Go outside,or I'll put you to work inside," staying out till the streetlights came on, feral -assed, acidic real american kid adrenaline (&blood) on those contraptions. You could break a ladder onna slide but you couldn't break Anything in that house...
Y'alls crazy asses Did that To the playgrounds "…playing,"
& our crazy asses Kept playing on'em.
& then… y'all spearheaded Replacing them(after so many of us damn near died lol).
Feeling guilty lol.
...But ya did it too soon. That's why they're soft.
Stop trying to figure out how to talk to them. We built the Brave new worlds they walked out into by being our weird, barely raised(regardless of family income), wiiiild assed yet nerdy selves. They're not looking for you to pander to them. They're waiting on you to lead, letting your own freak flags fly. Just...be you. It's a combo of how you wished you'd been talked to and what you know actually worked, rough and tumble tho it may have been.
Remember.
It's not that it didn't hurt, or we didn't cry. It's that we understood "Walk it Off~"
...Because I'm fulla books~
The Angel, early, for you.
Placons-nous donc dans la situation d'un peuple plus avance que les autres sur le chemin de la liberte. D'un peuple trop avance pour etre laisse en paix. Et admettons d'emblee que son territoire soit envahi, sans que l'etat national et ses armees aient pu-aient su-ou aient voulu-offrir la resistance necessaire
