Have you been reading those NYT articles?! They are chock-full of greatness:
For insurance and safety reasons, most crews on commercial ships do not carry weapons. Nor do many shipowners hire armed contractors to fight or ward off approaching pirates, said Noel Choong, the head of the International Maritime Bureau’s piracy reporting center.
Yeah. If the whole gun thing doesn't work out, I guarantee the Piracy Reporting Center is hiring.
Charlote de Corday, a figure of the French Revolution, was a rebel against the rebellion, an individual in a war of sides.
Charlotte de Corday has thus become my nom de guerre as an individual caught up in a world that speaks in borders rather than content. I am quite simply a student of philosophy and theories of government, a musician and a coffee addict, returned to my native urban New Jersey to find a place rapidly gentrifying, changing, growing--whatever you want to call it, only to move to Brooklyn and act as the other side of that coin. I am trying to make art after four years of academy, trying to feel for an ever elusive home... also trying to keep my car running. Trying to live and work and create in a way that each is copacetic to the other two. I currently write freelance and work for a newspaper in Lower Manhattan.
"The rumor about the true things" is a phrase employed by the German-Jewish thinker Walter Benjamin in a letter to a friend regarding the genius of Franz Kafka. It is a product of the modern decay of wisdom--one if its few remainders. "A sort of theological whispered intelligence dealing with matters discredited and obsolete."
