its rather a late comment. dats perfectly how the present day marxists r responding to the postmodern delusion of the present day world especially in art forms (otherwise dy r quite against these styles ...read Jameson) .. Doctorow did it in Ragtime..using postmodern techniques showing utter confusion...
da novellete had 2 b rightly dis way .. a druggards thoghts r somewhat exatly (dis)arranged like this..

The first time I glanced at this piece, I got too lazy to focus on it and really read it. Pieces like this where the thought processes of people are expressed exactly as they occur are usually difficult to understand. Read Hemingway`s As I Lay Dying. Going through that was hard enough, but at least it was understandable.

Maybe it`s just beyond the comprehension of a sober persons capability of understanding this, (yea but i`m not going to get wasted to read this). All I got after reading this, is multinationals, the media, and the US, and mullahs pretty much control everything...and their all linked to sex. Sex is a major motive, but don`t you think you`re going a bit too far with it?

It`d be nice to see the piece b4 the cut up method was used.

That which doesn`t makes sense is entertaining to the numbed masses looking for enlightenment in pseudo-intellectual mumbo jumbo which makes as much sense as a monkey typing on a typewriter...And really, there were people that actually loved what the monkeys wrote...Just to seem the artzy type...Where are the emperor`s clothes?

Common sense dictates that `a man fell off a bicycle and broke his leg` is a pretty entertaining and descriptive statement...I don`t find `bicycle, broke hurt heart made like a libidinous mass of flesh encrusted bones wreck the rear view mirror of yesterday. Boning the broken bone while vagina seeps the life blood from the penis and breeds new grounds to have wars on the leg that broke` at all entertaining...

Monkey like what monkey do...:D

But seriously, what`s up, dude??

once i`m over the initial shock of reading this, i`ll be better able to say whether i like it or not. it seems very intelligent, very provocative ... but it`s also a bit too ... too ... pseudo (??). theres a part of me that screams and flashes red warning signs whenever i read stuff similar to this ...

yet again. i can`t quite figure out how i`m reacting to it.

nfp: is there anything that you do like? or appreciate? or can`t look down upon?
just questions. don`t get sentimental on me.

Is it true that Paracha was fired from the news bcause of his anti-multinational articles; and that he started to smoke a joint during a meeting between Pepsi people and The News editorial??

This is actually quite wonderful. Absolutely mad, absolutely insane and dangerous. Rather brillient, really.

This is so weird as to be disturbing. But that doesn`t mean it wasn`t entertaining. That I actually got it surprised me.

Uhm...some of this is quite good-throw some Ginsberg and Gil Scott Heron in here as well. Btw, its Burroughs.

What ajeeb-o-ghareebness is this?





That`s PRECISELY why it`s so good. For straighter stuff please watch ARY Gold or worse: A G. W. Bush speech.
As for u Mr.NFP. Like I said, can`t wait for part 2!

yawn... somebody once told me
Karl Marx bought some shares once and a man asked him why`d he bought them since he`s so against capitalism and Marx said... it`s different to be Marx than to be a Marxist..
nevermind that though.

i like the first part well. love the narrative technique used and can`t wait to read the second, the third, .....

Nad, You got serious issues man. The key is to let go and not grind to a halt. The and I quote(For the fear that an ordinary mortal`s post can be rejected at whim here) ``Madarchods`s`` are everywhere. Thats who they are and thats what they do, in Gucci or in Beards, they are the same. Key is to know your calling and direction of dissent and keep at it. Failure is not an option as when the mushroom clouds go up, we will see it and taste it and go up in smoke in it because of these and I quote(for similiar fears addressed above) ``Madarchods``......Failure is not an option....
