Sharing cannot be stealing. Sharing at it’s best can be angry generosity. You don’t have to be complacent to share. On the contrary, I think it might be good to get upset. Maybe sharing is stealing. The moral component is certainly workable.

“It is good for you to meet people like us.” A.B. Are we not convinced that we can convince everyone to join us? We always imagine that other people are more afraid of sharing than ourselves. This is nonsense. They wil come because they know that it is [more]

If you share too much though it is exhausting. Life is so good that we can end up feeling empty, back at too much steak, when steak is not the point. I believe firmly that more is more and that more is better, even more so with people. [more]

Giving is important. When sharing I feel the need to make other people comfortable. I think that that is good trait though one that occasionally gets me into trouble and feeling like I have no boundaries myself. (To be precise I really have very few self imposed boundaries. [more]

Balance strikes me as the key to most problems. The (my) priest is rather quick to point this out. Specifically, he is answering my own guilt as a gentrifier with his utopian vision of greater balance. Implicitly the current balance can be better. As such, in large balancing [more]

I just realized that I am doing it. I am sharing. I am tired and it takes some work to be open to other ways. Somehow I am living the dream, working harder and faster with more. My private life becomes more public at the same time that [more]

What is public and what is private is not the same for me unless I fail to pay the phone bill. I am alone in Würgerengle and present in the world when sitting at my desk. The first is a shelter and the second a stage.

As time goes on I find myself “becoming more romantic and more callous at the same time.*” Life is not unbalanced, on the contrary, the distance from my extremes gives me a firmer stance, a more spread center of gravity. In theory, this makes me more open and [more]

I am all for more consumption. To get better at it we need to make this easier. To do that I would very much like to campaign for agreement that it is already easy because that is true. Why is this so hard to do? We’re not Victorians. [more]

Lebbeus Woods, an architect that I am not really into, said “individualism is obtained through community. Without community there is no individual.” No that I write it down I realize that he even said it twice. It is an important thought in relation to my dreams of togetherness.

Things sometimes come between friends. I think that is fine. My understanding of that possibility is more or less the basis of my friendships. Sharing is the intersection of tolerance, love and independence.

Friends are so important. That is really the upside of everything when it works. I think I ask friends for lots of things. My friends are amazing. I don’t often feel that they ask me for much. They could and should. I would do it.

I would like to apologize (for past offenses and in advance) for what feels to me like proselytizing. I am committed and sure that I am right. I do not, however, expect you to agree. Or, even worse imagine that I think I am better than anyone else [more]

Let go, I say. Holding on is what makes us, me, so exhausted. I am personally winning this battle. I am worried about less and less unimportant things. Basic things are being worked out with haste and I worry deeply about how to make better spaces / better [more]

I get jealous over things that I don’t actually want. We can observe that many people have this problem. Rarely are people above this. When they are I am quite rightly jealous. In order to be more productive we desperately need to address this. The problem of unconsidered [more]

There are a lot of smart and easy things, many of which I love. This is because I believe that life is basically smart and easy. Most of us do, it would seem. On the other hand, it was pointed out to me that pain has value too. [more]

I don’t always want to tell the truth even if I might agree that it is worthwhile. Usually life is more complicated than words, at least I want it to be. The constant pressure to clarify the confusion is upsetting and our own fault. Inconsistency requires tolerance and [more]

Why aren’t more things, people and places sexualized? I think we’re so plutonic out of laziness. It is an example of an attitude towards our own betterment that leaves me thinking that I am too conservative. Again, we must work on this together.

We should take solace in wondering if we are going too far. Though it remains hard to jolt us out of the easiness and into some new fire we should do it, in itself an easy premise.

I imagine that the gradients of spaces and things are also the gradients of our persons. Simply, we can blend together. (we can have sex too but that is not what I mean.) Much like a singer in a chorus I overlap with those around me. I am [more]

I am interested in articulating gradients, where they overlap and what they become at their edges. These spaces or sets of interactions involve people for the most part. They also typically involve boundaries. I am not, however, interested in boundaries per se. I can be polite about it [more]

There is a perceived order to the world around us that is mostly made up of divisions. I.e. this is this but not that. I am suspicious of this ordering while at the same time I would like to be committed and definite.

I trust people. People do all kinds of mean and nasty things. Still, I find it easier, even rewarding, to trust them. I’ve always thought that was because I am a spoiled kid from New York. Now I observe that most everyone around me is spoiled too, good [more]

Much of the past has been about creating stability. There is a glass wall between the hedonist’s space and sacred space. We can bring them together Monday through Sunday.

The notion that you have to give to get goes well with the possibility of doing nothing. I really don’t want to make anyone do anything. Nihilism, the nice kind, only works when I talk about it with my friends.

We are not communists. Maybe we should be but that is not my main concern. My concern is rather the question of what we are to each other. We are essentially alone together so we are left with our own ideas. Those ideas need playgrounds. I hope that [more]

I don’t often enjoy being alone. When I am alone I always begin to form a vision of the rest of the world that doesn’t include me. This is because I need other people to think with me. I do not believe in the collective, rather the author. [more]

It is hard to complain with joy. This is true here on this page as well as in the larger setting of society. When my problems don’t seem real I have trouble convincing myself, much less, my willing peers or worse our unnamed opposition. Searching for problems and [more]

I am most worried about getting bored. The ease of the day makes me wonder what happens when we just pack up and go elsewhere. The good times are already at hand. Where is the future? Again, how do I make right wrong? How do I expose something [more]

So who do I want to be? Not who I am, surely. (This is not to be confused with unhappiness though that may also be true.) I want to invent myself. We want to change the world at least make it different and as such have to form [more]

I get energy from other people. I sincerely wish that I could get it walking through the woods all by myself. There is something quite cool about that and I envy people who appear to have that ability. It is a lost cause and one of my deepest [more]
