"Modern prizefighting is a remarkable metaphor for the philosophical and social condition of men (and sometimes, women)in modern mass society. Launched in eighteenth-century England, largely as a way of upper-class betting men to amuse themselves at the expense of lower-class ruffians, prize-fighting was created in anticipation of mass industrialized society, where it has flourished as a sport and, even more startlingly, as an aesthetic: namely, to watch without seeing. The prizefighter enacts a drama of poor taste (but not of absurdity, as the modern professional wrestler does) that is in truth nothing more than an expression of resentment or a pantomime of rebellion totally devoid of any political context except ritualized male anger turned into a voyeuristic fetish" (xiv)

I want one of those seventies bra's. One of the ones that look like they're made just of fabric. You know where you've seen them, any movie made about young adults and summer camp between the years 1976-1989.

I miss you Blogger

Tumblr is weird and scary and everyone just says "Fuck Yeah" all of the time. AND whenever I write something I feel guilty, like I should be posting a picture instead. I don't like that. I like Blogger.
