Why must we go on forever...writing only about gods and legends?
Because they do. They go on forever. At least what they represent:
the eternal in us.
Opera is here to ennoble us, Mozart. You and me, just the same as His Majesty.
Come on now, be honest! Who wouldn't rather listen to a hairdresser than Hercules? Or Horatius or Orpheus. So lofty, they sound as if
they shit marble!
Zen and the art of Being Lily - nothing to it!
Lily Allen seems to have a knack for saying whatever pops into her mind, almost as soon as it occurs to her. For instance Allen recently commented that since drugs can screw people up, young children should be allowed to try them, just to see if it's a lifestyle that suits them, or if they're one of the screw ups. Either way it will give them an enormous head start in life! She has also mentioned that in her opinion cocaine is no big deal.Something that's gaudy, something that's bawdy
Lily has more opinions at the ready! On nudity Lily says 'no problem'. She goes on to state that she's very comfortable with her body, though not in a "Hey look at my boobs kind of way". The singer also admits to Googling herself about 10 times day - Hi Lily! She's not too disturbed about what people say either, unless it's just plain wrong, in which case she speed dials the lawyer, sues, and makes money out of it. That makes her feel better.
Nothing with Gods, nothing with Fate; weighty affairs will just have to wait
So what occupies Ms Lily's thoughts besides blurting out whatever is passing through the space between her ears at that moment, filing nuisance lawsuits, gettin' naked, googling herself, and completely destroying any kind of personal mystique? Well like any coked up double digit IQ celeb she likes to think about deep stuff! In fact I think that you'll find Ms Lily is preoccupied by the same irrational fears as you or I - “Probably dying alone… and pigeons maybe,” she reveals. “I just don’t like when you walk near them and they fly towards you and they flap their wings fast.”
Nothing that's formal, nothing that's normal...
Now (just in case anyone is still wondering what Lily is thinking) it sounds like Lily devoted much more thought to pigeons then life's basic meaninglessness. Absence of thought or self awareness is perhaps the most refreshing thing about her. It's about time that existentialism ran it's course. There are just so many more interesting irrational fears than 'can my life have any real significance in a random and impersonal cosmos' (the angst of middle class people with no real problems to complain about)- like dirty door knobs, or are microwaves from my cell phone scrambling my brain, or should I wash my hands again 'cause it's been almost 5 minutes since the last wash up, or even pigeons (the anxieties of middle class people who might be a bit touched in the head).
Nothing pretentious or polite!
Nihilism had become the clever talk of pseudo intellectuals ever since Woody Allen made Annie Hall. Listening to people regurgitate something some one else said about Sartre or Camus for the umpteenth time, or even just quote some ridiculous subway graffiti and try and pass it off as original thought was starting to get nauseating! We've all be come experts at 2nd hand, or even 3rd hand cleverness. Here's to Lily for having the guts to go out there and be retarded! That's why she's our Mocksure Celebrity of the Week! You rock girl!
The human condition is just a pretentious literary cliche; gossip is how we really are!
Don't believe it, just believe it possible.
