- Tanj Art Terrorism -

hey hey hey, here comes halloween. do you know what you'll be this year? i
|
||
know. you'll probably be the same spineless conformist you were last year.
|
||
and the year before. and every other year. the only thing that's different
|
||
is the year.
|
||
|
||
.---.
|
||

|
||
check out tanj #29 by spartacus!? my (non-existant) god, it's inspirational.

|
||
|
||
so here i am, looking at this neat little college rundown booklet sort of
|
||
thing. it lists all these great (?) colleges in new jersey and the average
|
||
amount of brains & funds needed to get into one. now, ladies and gentlemen,
|
||
some of you may not know my current situation. let me explain it for you..
|
||
i work a drudging 25-30 hours a week at a mild $5.50 per hour. this figures
|
||
out to be (after taxes and all) to be something around $120 per week. that
|
||
figures out to be about $6240 per year. now, the average american makes
|
||
about $30000 or so per year, so i'm a little under par to begin with. then
|
||
again, this is just a penny-anny job, not a career. fine. ok. i can live
|
||
with it. now. expenses. i'll need to pay insurance. let's figure about
|
||
$1000 per year, give or take. that's $5240 i've got. let's figure on gas.
|
||
maybe.. $10 per week? that's $520 per year. that's $4720.
|
||
|
||
now, let's look at schools.
|
||
|
||
(note: i have no idea what i want to waste the rest of my life on, so i
|
||
plan on taking whatever classes blow my skirt up, so to speak.)
|
||
|
||
first, we have the legendary (?!) brookdale community college. you need a
|
||
measley $1462 per year, plus $60.95 per credit. i don't seem to have any
|
||
idea how many credits i'd be taking, so i'll figure some high amount or so.
|
||
so, let's pretend it would cost me roughly $2000 per year. now, $4720 -
|
||
$2000 is $2720. and let's just divide that by 52 weeks, shall we? $52.31.
|
||
fifty two fucking dollars, do you see that? i'm supposed to fit food,
|
||
savings, and pocket cash into there? how? someone tell me, i'm a little
|
||
lost.
|
||
|
||
and if the college goes over $2000 per year, jesus.. forget it.
|
||
|
||
from this, we can draw two simple rules for life:
|
||
|
||
.] if mom & dad didn't attend college, neither will you for lack of funds.
|
||
..] the more higher education a nation makes available, the stronger the
|
||
nation will be. (see japan, china, all the other countries that are
|
||
currently beating the pants off us in the electronics field, automobile
|
||
production, face it, just about everything you can think of..)
|
||
|
||
this isn't even taking into account the fact that i'll be working a lot
|
||
less when college starts. that slashes that $120 figure all to hell.
|
||
|
||
what? get a new job? something that pays more? is that what you're saying?
|
||
go fucking look. $5.50 is like a fortune compared to $5.05, the glorious
|
||
minimum wage.
|
||
|
||
my future business card, if things keep up like this:

tanj in your bed..
|
||
|
||
well, i could always scrap the idea of saving and money. and i suppose i
|
||
could give up on eating. that would provide me with some money. that would
|
||
also wipe out any chance of attending school the year after. no savings =
|
||
no money for next year. and that equals nothing.
|
||
|
||
frankly, i still would have voted for brown.
|
||
|
||
heyheyheyheyheyheyhey. i like the way they shut out what's his face, i
|
||
forgot his name. he's running for president, too. third party, one of those
|
||
libertarian parties, or something like that. pardon my ignorance. still,
|
||
it's just peachy keen the way they wouldn't let him attend any debates,
|
||
even though his name is on the ballot in all 50 states. it's like the
|
||
establishment is saving "my way, or no way.."
|
||
|
||
gee, this dosen't make me love amerikkka much.
|
||
|
||
hey you. yes, you. you ever saw a child in a supermarket? he always wants
|
||
something. always whining for something. what does mom do? she promises him
|
||
he'll get it, in a little while. or she tells him he has some at home. and
|
||
what does junior do? he shuts up. he's content to know that he already has
|
||
whatever, even if he really dosen't.
|
||
|
||
anyone see the relation yet?
|
||
|
||
they say we have these great freedoms, then they turn around and arrest us
|
||
for using them. they say we have the right to assemble, but have you ever
|
||
tried? when there are 3 or more people, you constitute a mob. they can
|
||
arrest you. some assembly.
|
||
|
||
they say "amerikkka, land of the free!" and what do we do? we stick our
|
||
thumb back in our mouth (or is that up our ass?) and glop on through our
|
||
lives, content to think that we have "inalienable human rights." and what
|
||
do we really have? we have our hands cuffed behind our back, our necks in a
|
||
leash, and are being told what to do by the mas'a. gee, it's flashbacks to
|
||
slavery, isn't it? just because the slave was free to roam the property,
|
||
that dosen't mean the slave had freedom. just because we're free to roam
|
||
the united states, that dosen't make us free, either.
|
||
|
||
people look at the old days, germany, russia.. when you needed papers to
|
||
travel anywhere. and they think, how awful. those poor people. they aren't
|
||
free at all. and they don't even think about their own situation, and how
|
||
their lives are on a tether, too.
|
||
|
||
and i quote the dead kennedys, "life sentence"..
|
||
|
||
"you're a chained-up dog fenced in a yard
|
||
don't see much, you can't go far
|
||
pace & froth, you're getting sick
|
||
run too fast & it'll snap your neck"
|
||
|
||
go out. buy "high priest of harmful matter- tales from the trial" by jello
|
||
biafra. listen. think. think about what you're doing before you vote for
|
||
clinton and put tipper gore that much closer to national power. get with
|
||
it, cattle. this is your wake-up call. if you don't think about things you
|
||
become part of the problem. having main-stream values & ideas isn't a bad
|
||
thing, just so long as you think about them and agree with them. if you
|
||
ride with the tide.. you're just dead wood. you're just DEAD.
|
||
|
||
"you say yes, you say no, it makes a difference.."
|
||
|
||
i should go and dry my laundry. that's what i should do. and wash my
|
||
blankets. and brush my teeth. and brush my hair. and wash my face. and wash
|
||
my body. and deodorize myself. and clear the dirt out from under my nails.
|
||
and trim my nails. and file my nails. and pluck the hair out of my
|
||
nostrils. and pick out nice, neat, non-offensive clothes. and put them on.
|
||
and wear them in whatever fashion is currently trendy and widely accepted.
|
||
and i should clear my mind of all thought. and remain indifferent. and be a
|
||
number. and be a thing. and become a walking body part surplus. and waste
|
||
my life. and waste my mind. and let whatever talents i have slip away. and
|
||
not question anything. because if you ask a question, there may not be an
|
||
answer. and that requires thought. and thoughts are bad. thoughts ruin an
|
||
otherwise perfect conformist mind. "exterminate all rational thought."
|
||
|
||
fuck you. fuck that. i am who i am, and i refuse to be anyone else. i'll
|
||
think what i want, do what i want, and be whatever i choose. so to hell
|
||
with you.
|
||
|
||
sometimes i wonder if i would've been happier if i'd never stopped and
|
||
questioned things. if i just blindly believed.
|
||
|
||
no.. i don't think so..
|
||
|
||
you've got tanj on your breath..
|
||
|
||
"death by manipulation!"
|
||
|
||
i feel like a fool for worrying about money so much. i hate money. i hate
|
||
the way today's society builds money (and sex, of course) up to be the
|
||
greatest thing in the world.
|
||
|
||
and yet, i have to worry about money. because i have to worry about
|
||
education. because education = clout. without it, you're nothing. if you
|
||
don't have some sort of a neat phd or similar meaningless dribble attached
|
||
to your name, it gives people the right to not take you seriously. bless
|
||
you, kurt vonnegut, jr. i think you've taught me something.
|
||
|
||
and with a message like this, i will not be ignored. i will not be put
|
||
aside as a kook. people will hear, damn it, people will listen. if they
|
||
like it or ot.
|
||
|
||
once you set your alarm clock, you have no choice but to hear it. it's on
|
||
the other side of the room, and no one wants to get out of bed to turn it
|
||
off. so hey listen to it blare.
|
||
|
||
society turned me on. and now i'm on the other side of the room. and if
|
||
society is too fucking lazy to get up and smash me down, then i will be
|
||
heard. WE will be heard.
