so much of so little…

They do...

  • We tend towards escape from the center because it is so veiled in half truths.
  • What to most outside think of as complete is very often far from it.
  • Denial of the center is an effort to not believe in the lies that are required in obtaining a position within it.
  • This is a struggle that remains our own. Nothing can appease this hunger because there is no quenching the thirst of a quest. It is its own undoing.
  • It is far more interesting to history what is incomplete. Otherwise it is all a posture for no means other then an end, the truth being that there is none.
  • And all of the above in un-original because I learned it by observing others whom I admire. Perhaps they are mis-interpretations. I spent the last 20 years looking forkeys. It is best now to make the end the search so that the mind will not atrophy. So I can see the end without denial of it.

    Erased message

    Hello Mr. Comfort,

    I have received word that you were injured and wanted to send something to the effect of consolation. It does appear to be getting darker with every passing frame. Mine is quite padded at the moment and I always wonder when it will break. Maybe it will be the better for everyone when theirs finally does collide with ours. Or something.

    I was in New York City for a month. It has become dull. I saw William Defoe perform a Richard Foreman play and was engaged but underwhelmed. It cannot be interesting with a personality. That thought brings to my mind several parallels.

    Was invited to perform ’something’ at a festival in Eindhoven and by chance before departing for New York grabbed it from my girlfriends bookshelf. I was very anxious and the elation inspired the reading. The performance is on the 14th of January and I am taking all the right steps to make everything work in as wrong a way as possible.

    I hope in knowing that I will see you again in the spring.

    kind regards

    ilan katin for U.S. president

    I decided the other day that making art is not just about making pretty drawings and videos to entertain people. These trifle little activities are truly limited for an ego as vast as mine.

    The above icon will be used for my run for the U.S. presidency where, in 2012 I will defeat both Sarah Palin and Barack Obama, assert myself as a benevolent dictator, threatening to dismantle any corporation that does not adhere strict green laws that go above and beyond the Kyoto protocols. I am confident that after I assert this other nations will follow suite. Here is what else I will promise to do:

    - Every U.S. citizen will receive quality health care, just like everyone in Mexico and every other country U.S. citizens should be ashamed of having universal health care before us (read that other country who’s dictator I resemble).

    - All U.S. citizens will be required, at age 18 through 20 to serve in the U.S. humanitarian aide corps. They will also be required to learn and master 3 languages by age 18.

    - Corporations and banks will be allowed to exist. However if a CEO does not arrive at my office when requested he will lose his job and get sent to Guantanamo bay.

    - Severe censorship will be place on television broadcasts. Anything deemed sensationalist will be prohibited. The press and internet can continue to operate as usual.

    - The only military action permitted will be one that is truly deemed humanitarian.

    - Any reference to ‘U.S. national interests’ will be abolished. From the moment I enter office the U.S. will seek to serve the globe in the interest of everyone living on it.

    - Funding for the arts will be increased to acceptable levels.

    - Incentives will be provided to anyone who gives up his car for a bicycle or any other type of transportation that does not involve fossil fuels.

    These are the most important points and more details will follow in the form of charts, complicated diagrams and comics, because I love comics.

    Yes my dear friends, if the interpretation of the aztec calendar is the end of the world as we know it then I will make sure that it is re-created in an image that is befitting: mine.

    If I am not assassinated after 8 years I will abdicate but not after seriously restructuring how the government operates. I will enact laws that significantly reduce the amount of money allowed for campaigning. I will also reduce the campaign season to 3 months. Anyone making any reference to their wish to run for office prior to the 3 months will be arrested and be required to pay a fee that will help teach young people to read, write and generally formulate their own opinions.
