Memphis on Flickr
Well, I’ve been meaning to do it, but I’m glad someone else got around to it instead. There is now a Memphis Flickr group. Please join if you’re a picture taker. Come see what’s in there already. It’s mostly my pictures, but with any luck, there will be many more. If you want to see more Memphis pictures on Flickr, you can also just look here.
Preach It, My Bruthah!
OMG. It’s like he’s reading my mind.
A teaser to get you interested:
We are surrounded. We are immersed. American consumer culture is teeming with so many neon-colored, overprocessed, semicomestible, demon-spawn products we can no longer even recognize how bad it is, how it is all meant to drive us slowly insane, so slowly we forget to keep asking why we feel so sick all the time, and we just shut the hell up and buy more giant tubs of Country Crock to go with our liquefied reconstituted pork tubes because we think this is the only way.
It’s Here!
It only took four freakin’ months, and endless hassles, but it’s here! It’s really here!
Thanks soooo much to everyone who has put up with me while I did this silly thing. I’m especially grateful to the people who did the little offers to help me get the thing. I’m way happy. 😀
Fascinating Perspectives on America
I found this fascinating. It’s rare that Americans get to see themselves from the outside. We live in such an American-centric world, not only here, but even when we travel. Our bubble seems to follow us wherever we go. Our borders are so far away from us. We almost never have to remember that there are other countries out there, and depending on where we live, we can almost forget other regions of the country. England is the size of Alabama. For me to drive from Memphis to Atlanta takes 7 hours. SEVEN HOURS, and I’m still basically in the same region of the country. No wonder we are so out of touch with the rest of the world, so out of touch that sometimes we forget it’s there!
