DAN ELDON

I hate to think that Dan Eldon is going to become a "trendy thing" really soon. I've had his collected journals since I was 11 and I've always felt proud that he was a fellow Waldorfian (we went to the same type of elementary school).


I typed his name into google, for the first time really, now that I think of it, to see if his artwork would be appropriate for a presentation I'm going to do in my transnational/cosmopolitanism lit theory class. found out that Tom's is doing a line based on Dan Eldon, and I can't help but feel a tinge of sadness about this. Maybe Toms shoes is a good thing, maybe they do actually send a pair of shoes to a child in need, only Tom knows, right? I'm taking this as a profoundly personal offense. If that wasn't enough, Daniel Radcliff is going to play him in "the movie version". Um. He was quoted on some webrag saying he was happy because Eldon was, "a really brave guy". Okay. I don't feel like there's being enough care given to this exposure. Some things should stay somewhat sacred, right?

The Universe Wants Me to Fail College

The week of April 18th will be one month away from the day that I have roughly 35 pages worth of academic writing finished and stapled and in professors hands. Now a smart student who budgets their time well would reason, "Apart from research, that's roughly one page a day! Hoo-ra!" Hopefully this week will bring great strides in completing these papers but it doesn't look good for me.

Here is how forces unbeknownst to me have stacked their cards against me.

Poem for Summer

i.

Under the baseball dusk I drive and become the pink, purple, blue;
remember the order in the sky of my mind,
it's important.

Moving straight and fast in the cool,
air my skin is carbonated.
Like the sweet baseball bleachers cooking under
a yellow elementary sun.

Is it a mood? A surrounding water that is summer that works on me,
like a roller-coaster.
There is nothing concrete about it.

Caddyshack as the Socioeconomic Picture of Bergeoning Deindustrialization in America

THE genius of Caddyshack goes beyond the apparent class divides it portrays. It's show of old v. new money creates a new space for which more modern irreverent comedy can exist.The hat scene is a straightforward acknowledgment of the movement the movie as a whole operates as.

Can I get a Minute

I don't know where this is from. I also can't provide you with any context, this picture made me forget how to read. I'm shocked I'm able to even write right now.
