pilot: and coming upon our right is the vast corporate jungle, unconquered by so many and fearlessly trekked by few... we may be fortunate enough to see a corporate merger as it is mating season, or perhaps a hostile overtake in action. A rare and unusual environment in that the landscape is forever changing and at what appears to be ever increasing rates... watch that tech sector as it is plain treachorous.
What's this? Well well well, ladies and gentlemen it is a TREAT that we have arrived at such a fortuitous and momentous occasion as you may see, if you look carefully now, two Co-Conspirators (probaitus-switcheru) just to the edge of the horizon. Conspiracy theorists abound but we never really know exactly what it is that makes them tick or why a given event occurs while they are around. They do spend much of their lives alternately out in the open, notice their superb camouflage, and in the shadows thoroughly unnoticed by those around them. In this manner they are able to affect their natural form of predation, that is by subtle manipulation of both individuals AND the environment around them. In short they live merely by their creativity and utter LACK of moral barometrics! Astounding that we should be so lucky.

Remember, though, that when cornered the co-conspirator will show it's inherent gender changing capabilities as it may go one way or the other in it's chosen physical makeup. Here is one of the truly versatile animals of the corporate jungle, ladies and gentleman, due to its ability to suddenly and without warning jump entire SPECIES boundaries and either turn Scapegoat (totalfubar-kickeditis), aka the PATSY (though this is usually due to the reactions of other Co-Conspirators in the area) OR Stool Pigeon, what we lovingly refer to as the jungle traitor. Remarkable skills, indeed, though once caught the conspirator truly has no ability to survive without continued finger or paw pointing and, while they may very well be excellent deflectors, the truth having come out disintegrates their ability to misdirect and their continued manipulation is halted entirely. Thus a captive conspirator will sooner or later wither away into the urban ethos and join such interesting ethereal aspects such as the famed irancontra and of course the mccarthy list.

setaside2

SOCKED, BLINDED, BOUND.

All nights last longer on paper,
even if given a mere two words.
Time is relative in this modern mind,
the physical sensation an ever changing tide with the seethe swing of mood, health, and breathing.
A word can be pondered for centuries
while a given night is past and past and passed again.
The running boardwalk that ages all.

Does love endure beyond the ink?
Fiction in typeset has sold millions,
who's to say you can't trust the word?
More people trust to fiction daily than hold the truth.
And here, you've gone.

It's a shame these bruises fade else I might have proof that you were here.
As I patch the gashes in the kitchen wall,
clean the blood off the carpet,
replace the light bulbs in the hall and throw these torn and tattered clothes away,
I'm left to ponder a world unclear.
Where love's costs are so dear, and acceptance without fear so near.

I, the battered bride.

DopeBeastie

acceptance without fear so near
a place, so safe, to feel at home


seta, there was a boardwalk in your last piece... is there some ocean nearby? i really liked the one before this, the presence of the boardwalk and how the stick got hid under a piece of it... and well, here 'tis again...


what say you of boardwalks, my dear?



(oh, and btw - this one ROCKS, imo... )

What? You mean you don't get that little feckin' paperclip fella who jumps up and down and rides his bike and swirls his eyeballs? I love writing lit crit essays with that fecka! You say a word like "foregrounded" and he starts to twitch. You say "dialogic polyglossia"and he starts foaming at the clip. You say "Kristevan semiotic pulsions pluralising phallologocentric signifiers" and he says "You're avvin' a larf, mate!"

DopeBeastie

that little paperclip fecka is the most annoying assistant on the planet cyberwrite...


*twitch*..... lol

setaside2

I got my mac solely to avoid the paperclip.

I am nearly religious with joy everytime I realize that I don' t have to see him again.

corduroy_vedder

That paper clip fecka is the most annoying fecka ever....I don't know how many times i have told finsbury how annoying it is...
He gives you tips on how to improve things...But each idea either makes my work worse or make my computer crash....he's an evil lil bastard!

"It looks like you are trying to write a letter..."

*TINK TINK TINK* *SWOOOSH*

"Would you

a: like help with this letter

or

b: continue without help"


LinguiniThief: Ummm do I LOOK like I need help, you little son of a bitch? Get the FUCK out of here!





(I suppose cussing at a paper clip might indicate latent anger... I'll make an appointment with Mr. Gates to discuss... )

FinsburyParkCarrots

And occasionally he rides up to ya on his bike, smiling in a little pink square and you KNOW he's fecked your pc up this time....

what's with all this feckin fackin fuckin holy mother hell?!?!?

LORD people! RISE UP! ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT paperclip omniscience.

Get a MAC, it is quite comfortable with the fact that it is smarter than you but it doesn't assume superiority, it only shares when it is asked to share, like any good friend would. Also, she never crashes.

LOL

<mumbles to self> man.. created a monster on this topic. fucking paperclip. <end mumble>

and I'll get back to you on that boardwalk thing, I promise, but I just don't have time.

suffice to say I have my themes and that I am always worried that they may get old.

however there is no doubt that I continuously move towards the seaside effectual.

We will explore this on Setamind: Why the what and the what the why... next. On the Discovery Channel.


I, the battered mind.
