Jesus' General:
"But one boy sitting alone at the edge of campus Tuesday told a different story. The 13-year-old stared at his lap and nervously plucked the grass while he talked about the popular 'fundies' who regularly push him and his friends around.
'They're in your face, kind of rude about it, saying 'You're going to die, you're going to burn in hell,'' said the boy, dressed in all black. The Camera is withholding his name out of concern for his safety. "
I was gang saved once...
In a teen club.
I was at "Fast Times"
(the teen club on fairmont in Pasadena...
owned at least in part by Sherwood Cryer,
or at least he was having some
$$$ kicked up to him or something...
long story...ask me and I'll tell ya sometime...)
and found myself surrounded by five older boys with mullets.
They followed me to the bathroom and made me pray with them.
I felt threatened, and a little weird,
but went along with it thinking they would leave me alone.
It worked for the most part...
They tried to talk to me once or twice more during the night...
but mostly left me to my sinning.

"Sterling introduces his concept of the spime: an archive of data about the space-time co-ordinates of objects. 'In the future there will be millions of small histories for billions of small objects.' This is the central metaphor of his way of looking at objects, and I think you could say that a spime (the narrative accumulated by technologies 1-6, as well as others that Sterling doesn't talk about, like cell phones, peer-to-peer and bluetooth) is like a novel; it's an inventory, a narrative of all the events which happen to an object, and it also produces the object."
See, it's just this kind of crazy talk that makes me yearn for grad school. Somehow when I'm fighting with HL&P for a few more days of electricity I can't find the proper amount of enthusiasm for these ideas. But really, it's quite brilliant...

"You want to fuck around with the cultural mythology of the last sixty years? Go right ahead. But don't lie about it in the metacommentary."
Bingo...
I was along for the ride...
Enjoyed parts of it,
but man,
what a crap ending...
they were playing with some cool ideas,
but ultimately they didn't even matter...
grrr...
