David Harvey: Crises of capitalism

 

Radical sociologist David Harvey asks: is it time to look beyond capitalism towards a new social order that would allow us to live within a system that really could be responsible, just, and humane?

Things I tell the dogs

 

Looking over as they look at me as we doze off for the night, “You know, you could maul me at any time and then one of you could be the alpha dog…I’m glad you don’t.”

How To Be Alone

 

Open mic at e.g. theater (aka our house) Sept. 10

 

My sister has been going to a lot of open mic, mostly at the E street cafe in Encinitas. Her and I checked out the Hill Street Coffee House open mic in Oceanside a while back. And my friend Russ played an open mic at the Metaphor Cafe in Escondido a couple of weekends back.

Well we’ve decided to bring open mic to our house (aka e.g. theater).

More details to come, but since Russ is playing a full show at the Metaphor Cafe in Escondido and he said he would be performing at our open mic, I thought there should be some mention of it on my site for him to plug.

So there you go.

Picture of the picture of the day (Gay Che)

 

View of self referential picture of the picture of the day from Amanda's Camera.

After Amanda put her beanie and lace scarf on me she took some pictures while we played Balderdash. After I managed to catch a shot of the picture of the picture of the day Amanda wanted to stage this self referential shot of us both taking pictures of ourselves. The shot above is from Amanda’s camera and you can see the shot from my camera at the end of the post.

Get by with a little help…

 

If you want to be loved, start loving others who need your love….If you want others to sympathize with you, start showing sympathy to those around you. If you want to be respected, you must learn to be respectful to everyone, both young and old….Whatever you want others to be, first be that yourself; then you will …find others responding in like manner to you.

Paramahansa Yogananda

Via friends who I hope can love me, sympathize with me, and respect me.
Because I need their love, sympathy, and respect.

Have I loved them enough, sympathized with them enough, and respected them enough? And even if I haven’t, is it linear? Have I loved those who needed it, sympathized with those needed it, and respected those who needed it? I’m honestly not sure. Is intention the same as action?

Monarch Butterfly resort and day spa

 

Monarch butterfly caterpillars rescued from the herb farm my sister works at taking a well deserved break on their migration in a relaxing mason jar spa filled with milkweed. Watch these amazing creatures as they eat, poop, and socialize.

Seriously though, check out that one guy scarfing down the milkweed and that other one pooping out a log. Pretty cool, huh?
