the sharp edge of the real cuts daffy duck in half

I WILL START POSTING BRIEF PARAGRAPHS/DRAFTS OF THE THINGS I'M WRITING THAT MAY OR MAY NOT END IN MY DISSERTATION. THANK-YOU.

So there must be a sudden stop. You realize that what you think you are no longer is. You crash into a wall, at full speed and without a safety net. The morning after, perhaps, you will not feel the pain, but the breach have been done, the intrusion has been placed // Hidden the movie --- something in me more than myself //. Nothing returns as it was before, you might feel scare but you have all the reason to be, because from now on you will be all alone, by yourself, with no coordinates and points of reference, with no one whose guidance will keep you in comfort and secure.

You become like a blank page but with the past knowledge of an image plastered on it already, like in the movie the Matrix when suddenly everything disappear and only Morpheus and Neo are in the image, an empty space waiting to be filled. And that’s the Real. It is a cold and empty space, with endless possibilities but with no starting point left behind and a just a remainder of something that was. In the movie Stalker by Andrei Tarkovsky the only traces an alien civilization has left behind for us humans to wonder, is just the leftovers of their crusade, the garbage bags filled with the content already consumed and thrown away and just the carcasses of an unreachable and unintelligible world. That's how we perceive the Real, as an already consumed but nonetheless beautiful and terryfing state of being.

We can have also a glimpse of the real in the iconic cartoon by Chuck Jones Daffy Amuck where the main character just gets pushed from one side of the drawing paper to the other, becoming conscious of its role as just the capricious will of its master, the drawing hand which full body or voice we never see nor hear, but we know it is there because we see Daffy Duck complaining about his non-stop mood swings, we see his pencil only as this organ without body*, which erratic brushes on the paper and sudden changes of ideas resemble the actions of a sadistic child, enjoying the submission of his subject, Daffy Duck, but what neither of them know is that they are both part of the same image, they are both in-existent. Their function is to serve as a version of a master-slave cartoon dialectic; which is located and formulated in the realm of a twisted fantasy delivered in the form of different art styles and resonant music.

Review of 2013

2013 was an interesting for not saying boring and extremely tasteless year. Rape porn became an adjective, bitcoin sky roofted to the stratosphere, literally (an early adopter bought the first ticket to space for 250,000 in bitcoins making Richard Branson grin grow an inch more), and oh well, stoners are still dreaming wildly about the zillions they are going to make going public and legit before the end of times. Everyone became aware that those pictures you have being taking to yourself since the beginning of times are as common as napping and its label is the selfie. Oh yeah and the peak of cultural development went to Miley Cyrus for her broad and ample knowledge and ability to twerk. Iran didn't got the bomb, Israel did not destroyed the world, Egipt got a second not as interesting as the first uprising, Syria is still a catastrophe and new natural catastrophes emerged causing massive devastation like in Philippines and the business as usual in the poverty-driven economy of most parts of the developing world continued, while the richest rich are still pretty insanely rich in the developed world, polluting like if there is no tomorrow and enslaving with minimum wages a big chunk of its population that are unbearable for even achieve at least a bare bones survival existence. Perhaps they can learn from Hunger Games, or from the handy tips the overlord McDonalds showed extravagantly to us in a shiny new-looking website, by the way thank you, I didn’t knew that breaking the meals in small pieces makes you feel fuller. (How can you break meals in small pieces? Ah! I know! It is because they know that most of its workers eat Cheetos for lunch, smart!). Oh yeah, and Banksy sold original artworks for $60 dollars worth thousands and just three lucky bastards got them while the rest of us just piped-dreamed about what would I have done with that money. It also was a really bad year for the dingy internet. The piratebay folks still have massive problems with the law while all the junkies are crying out loud when they discovered that their gateway to heaven have being seized by the FBI, with probably all their information about their habits printed in their transactions. fun fun fun, but not as fun than for its creator, the wise-ass Dread Pirate Roberts whose endeavour now means bankrupt for all his family, future children and grandchildren and a great conversation topic for christmas, if he gets out of jail of course before he can still fathered someone. With a year like this it is not difficult to predict that perhaps 2014 will be a better year, but who knows? A new Costa Concordia could be next door or stuxnet could be lurking in everyones devices and convert them into explosives or potential cause of cancer, oh wait, that already happened. All in the name of progress, right? but who knows? The only thing for sure is 2013 is over and with that all its misery is now history, as the love for crack of the mayor of Toronto, Rob Ford, because, yolo, isn’t?… you could do better than that, right?
