My Interior needs decoratin. . .

Posted by Doghouse Riley 7 months ago | |

. . .cause as any dunderhead knows, and thank gawd almighty for it, science keeps strippin away the layers of myth and mysticism where we're almost to the point that even a "big-selfed" entity such as my ownself won't, with any confidence whatsoever be able to even think about thankin gawd almighty, let alone sayin it.  But folks is still comin up to me on an almost daily basis and sayin, "Hey, Doghouse Riley,  I understand all that but what about your "such-ness"  or your "thus-ness"??  Explain that away with a smart-alek comment or somethin.  Ain't ya even in touch with yor own interiority??  Hell, I bet ya are and don't even know it.  Or, more likely, won't admit it.  Why are ya such a dang contrarian all the damn time?  What good does it do ya?  To which I usually reply, wail my interiority is as shabby as the next fellers which means a good vaccumin wouldn't hurt but my "such-ness" is the same as yors. . .non-existent, you numbnuts!!  Listen (I usually go on), I ain't got a shovel big enough to dig out from under that pile of bull.  And neither do you.  And don't go startin any tangential shit about captive synapse energy fields neither or I'm liable ta kick ya in the nuts.  Course, I say that with love.

If every grade-school kid were presented with your philosophical explanation of "the Nature of Self" (even though its disguised as unbridled humor; which in itself may be the best way to ponder all speculation) then within a generation we would have one hell of allot more sane people on this planet.

You mean they ain't?? Hell Anchor, ol pal, I thought my tome "Yor Such-Ness, Such As It Is" was in ever fourth grade class on planet (D)earth. But ifn I trust anybodies info ta be honest, it's yors. Maybe that's why I ain't ever seen a nickel from that damn book. And it took me the better part of an afternoon. . .and a fifth a Bombay. . .ta write it. Shoot.

Dear DHR - I decided to answer your querry (Don’t nobody relish surrealty no more?) from cc.mixter page over here...since the review pages don't seem as open to public forum.
Sur-reality often spooks people out...and perhaps that is one of its major tenants. It was, after all, brought into existence by a group of fed-up Bohemians who tried their damnedest to erase the distinct lines between the common-place world and the interior-world of the human strata. Now, how could a movement like that ever last long? Or remain "popular"? And it didn't and it wasn't. Yet Surrealism was in existence before it was named as such and shall be after it is but a mere chapter in the "History of Art". What could be more surreal than the cave art at Lascaux, or the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch ? But one great aspect of the surreal in life is HUMOR (which seems to be at a premium these days). And that is where, perhaps, some of your ideas get lost on the general public (yet its hard to imagine that in a country where 51% of the population is on prescription drugs that many folks might get into the sur-reality of it all by default).
Did you know that evidence has surfaced that the Surrealists were responsible for the creation and propagation of the "Priory of Sion" from which all kinds of conspiratorial madness from "The DaVinci Code" to New World Order notions have sprung? Now if that isn't a sense of humor then what is?
So, to re-cap -
I wouldn't be discouraged if some of your mo' bettah stuff is seemingly neglected (heck, I'd say 95% of my tootage is passed by - though perhaps for other reasons) - your humor and talents will find its way to the other still standing Surrealists (at least the ones who have a lap-top)!
with respect and regards
Anchor

Back at ya Anchor, ol pal. It's good ta know I can count on you ta put it in proper perspective. And, I might be wrong, but I thank that it's Toyota that builds that dang Sion not Priory. Hell, I had one a them in the seventies and it was a piece of merde. Ifn ya speak Frainch, that is.
