remember to kick it over
i have really been uninspired to write in this blog, as you can well evidence by the dramatic lack of posts in the past few months. i know i promise to write, but when the time comes to sit down and update, it is always the last fucking thing i want to do.
i don't know what it's all about. maybe its because i don't have computer access or because its annoying to spend so much time at a computer. maybe i'm tired. maybe i'd rather be out on the streets, linking arms with my comrades, brick in hand, than exhorting people to revolution on the web.
yeah, i think its that one.
what's going on here? what are people doing? where's the immediacy? where are the people who refuse to let one more forest fall, one more innocent iraqi die, one more innocent animal be killed or tortured, one more ...anything? where are the people who fucking understand that keeping infrequent hours at some infoshop does not make revolution?
i'm not shit-talking infoshops, but if that is the pinnacle of our resistance to the consolidated powers of capitalism and state, we are seriously fucked and there is no getting around that. these motherfuckers want nothing more than a docile, paralyzed public. --why let them have what they want? are there not things that are worth risking our privledged-in-their-world positions? are there not things that must be done, because we aren't free if others are not?
i know i'm rambling. i know i sound a little bitter, a little exasperated. i'm just at a fucking loss as to how to change this way of (not) doing things, this utter lack of imperitive. i want to feel as if i weren't wandering the desrt alone, occasionally happening on an oasis that keeps me from dying.
when will we mean what we say? when will our threats no longer be empty? when will we kick this shit over?
i'm so tired of asking questions.

i can't delete comments on blogspot, so unfortunately, my blog has advertizing from these fucking assholes. i changed some setting that makes you have to deal with word verification to post comments. sorry if that sucks, but i think its better than fucking spam.
Hi, Kittie. If you've got a regular blogspot blog, you should be able to delete comments. Try this: Log into the comments - you can do that by just registering to make a comment yourself and pressing "preview" - and all the comments should appear with little trash cans next to them. Then if you click the trash can next to a comment (any comment), that should trash the comment.
hey richard-
thanks for the tip, i had no idea!
hey
i just came across this from a link on bombs and sheilds, and i feel really compelled to write.
ive been living without job/money/home for the past four years and am now applying for a job. i feel like the most depressed piece of shit for doing it, but im so damned tired out of being a lonely kid looking for the next place to go to help out a random collective for a couple days, then getting ready to hit the road again, cause you cant stay in one place too long - we just dont have those kinds of supports in the radical community... or if we have vague infoshops or punk houses or collective spaces or whatever they cant always be putting folks like me up.
so for now i have to take it in the ass (but not in the nice way), and get a job or something that can afford me a safe place to sleep for the winter.
i have to set aside all claims for immediacy and ignore those monstrous burning pits of rage in my belly which cry out for the absolute end to ...whatever it is which fucks us so entirely, and instead focus on personal emotional health. thats where the immediacy lies right now.
im not bashing yer post, in fact im overjoyed to see it. more folks need to get pissed and damn them who wont take the steps to end this shitstem. but while folks are still living within it, i hope i can offer some ideas to help those who are doing their best to escape it and create the networks outside of it.
try putting up some travellers for a while. offer the resources they need to keep going. offer them encouragement, food, love, a bed/couch/floor to sleep on, advice, and an ear to listen to the shit they deal with. they are slaves like so many others, but slaves to liberation and their bodies are on the line. we gotta respect and support that.
and we need to come up with some long term resources and networks of support for these folks. we need lasting spaces for people to chill, take some time off, places to winterdown and hang out while its freezing outside.
so, i guess we need to again develop our underground railroad, like crimethinc tried once, way back when.
and we need to embrace all the forms of resistance which exist, but emphasize, endorse and encourage those who'se lives are on the line.
thank you for writing this entry, and sorry im taking up so much space in yer comments section.

You're not alone.
There are a lot of people working on this shit, but you - you are alone.
a friendly suggestion: look up "metaphor" in the dictionary.
