i feel good about yesterday's two posts: the one about the poverty industry and the other about heteronormativity. these are quality, i sent the url of the first to peter who will likely read it and then tell me it is derivative of foucault, and rachel has been around the block from brooklyn and she will enjoy it, no doubt: "michael, you are from the future," she will squeal. for all of his pussy anonymity, rich has been good inspiration for the timely revival of the fact sheet, and now that i have struck the idea of the book of the fact sheet — perhaps entitled: "fact sheet: hallucinations of desire" — i have purpose and reason behind the efforts that i have put into the journal over the years.

it will be a bit sad that i will have to excise the images from the text, but there really is no clean way to transfer the images from the html to the docx document. but this will make it easy to publish, as i won't need an erotics publisher to print it, and it can go straight up on amazon. this will be a fun project, and a nice break from the gay manuscript, which truth be told is almost done, except for proofreading. i may write a new okcupid profile for the book, as an introduction or foreword to the fact sheet, and that also will be fun to do, harder because i will be able to pick the questions that i will answer (new policy/layout) rather than being bound by the old rules of the game. more boundaries the better — take note, andy pink!

re communism: i think one of the things that gets lost in marxism, and by communists, is that marx does not iluminate the details of his utopia. he talks of multitasking — enjoying more that one form of labor, as against the monotonous routinization of modern thinking, living, being, and certainly working — but he does not provide color for the communist future. what is important to recognize is that we live in a beautiful world (yes, america is a shithole), and the whole of infrastructure and life will not cease upon the arrival of plenitude, the cutting of the last visa card (as i like to say), and the inauguration of the freedom of each according to his need and each according to his ability, free consumption and free production.

30 rock does not collapse in a heap of fire upon the arrival ("yes, yes" — does any reader get this reference? — of communism) — nor do the gardens and the forests burst into flames. even commercial and advertising culture doesn't disappear — someone whose labor organizes a nightclub or a music hall or a restaurant or a coffee shop would certainly want to advertise their space (just not its proprietary mechanisms), but there would be no competition among "advertisers" — only the making of the indie art to garner the crowds.

what's strange about communism is: everything stays the same. this is one of the reasons that i promote sameness(+) in "pervert-schizoid-woman" and the subsequent books: much of transformation is perspectival, it's not so much that buildings are struck by lightening and peoples are murdered, but that we have a change of orientation toward these institutions or crowds. i would hope that amazon dot com (now soon a commercially free company as a "free association of laborers," as marx would put it) would dominate retail, and that we could finally close all the retail shops on the streets, converting them to housing, daycares (ugh), public toilets, and bars and restaurants and clubs. all "shopping" (we don't even have a proper communist term for what the collection (free consumption) of objects would be), but it would be done online, it would be via delivery (the only gas-guzzling source of economy after cars are banished and public transportation (trollies, subways, railways, and buses for the far a flung places) rule our cities and towns). this outsourcing of retail eliminates the "shopping experience" — but this is only relief to the most of us who don't have the money for that gig. that's a utopia worthy of affirmation. a concrete space — one that we can work together to achieve and enjoy.

i don't know why i still bother with rich, i'm sorry i was so effusive, i'm sure it scared/ashamed you, but once you experience love at first (i realize you didn't feel this way, but i certainly did) you sort of want the disney world vacation to start as soon as possible. i was on cambridge street early this morning and i happened to see my psychic, fred, on the street corner. i said hello and told him he was a good medium, and, advertising, he said i should come see him (he's at the tremont tearoom at downtown crossing). i will — perhaps i will bring the rich experience along and ask him what to do with it.

starting to wimper but still in the fight,

I swear, rich looks just like the one in the armpit
