stop counterculturalism now

A Graduate Student Avoiding his Ph.D., Being Productive,
or Being Creative and Useful in Any Real Way...

Friday, August 3

I'm starting to wonder why I blog on here. I should be outside with the trees, sunshine, and bier gardens. I should be learning how to use a crossbow and discovering when it is appropriate to light the arrows on fire. Or I should figure out what the secret is of flaming arrows and how they never burn up before they reach their target. Also, I would like to know what Cupid uses on the tip of his arrows of love. Is it natural or supernatural and would it turn out to be poisonous if placed under the tongue with a medicine dropper? Are there really nine love potions or only one?

And why do I toss and turn at night? What is creeping into my dreams when all I remember is something about swimming? And when my arms fall asleep when I lay on them at night, why do I have to rub my shoulders for the feeling to return? My shoulders must block the blood flow. Am I really that tense at night?

If my feet are touching the ground then I know I am able to reach up, up into the sky...


Why does Shiva dance?

Shiva = so mother-fucking cool. He is the God of destruction, of dance, of meditation, of sex. The God of all the things that break us down, open us up, empty us out, make us limitless, remind us who we are. Remind us who we are. Remind us that we are alive, that we have bodies, that we are sacred. Shiva dances on the back of demons, crushing them beneath his ecstatic feet, destroying evil and illusion.

Shiva also dances because he has so many goddamn arms. How could you have extra arms and not dance?

Nietzsche wrote, “I would believe only in a God that knows how to dance.” Nietzsche and Shiva would so be BFF, holding hands, skipping through the park, tickling the demons before their slaughter. Maybe your question should really be, “Why don’t all Gods dance?”
