distraction vs inspiration
Just had a quick look at Dave's site and decided to check out some of the links. Man I was totally blown away by the sheer volume of work being done out there!!! It was like......fuck me!!! These people are just knocking out all this great work, but it seems to be more than that, its like a current or something, maybe more like something in the air, like this kind of scent. But more like a wave, this wave, like a kind of engulfing kind of thing, like I remember once stepping off a bus in Florida somewhere after a really long journey and it was like bbam!!! this intense blanket of humidity, well not blanket, more like wall of humidity just hit me. I feel as though I have been sitting on a bus for hours and hours, travelling, looking out the tinted window as the world rolls by and man, stopping at like hideous bugger joints, in the middle of nowhere to stretch your legs before boarding the bus again. When you get there its like this massive bam of humidity after this long air conditioned ride. Man it's exciting and scary at the same time. I am left with the question, what are these people doing? Oh yes walking back from college after dropping off my late library books (£120 fine) I came across crowds of people all walking in the same direction. People coming outta cars that had been parked all along the main roads, like jammed together back to back, all available space, like just stuffed to the gills, and there are these people and suddenly these flashing lights and its like this police convoy, its these police vans, riot vans really and they are escorting these double Decker bus's just filled with football fans and its like what the hell as they start shouting out the little windows on the top deck, then there is this massive roar as more people shout back from the other side of the road, with all these police in riot gear just standing on every road side, just waiting and watching and hoping? Later on down the road as I walked towards the supermarket I could smell beer and weed wafting towards me and I was confronted with an incredible sight. It was the sight of hundreds of beered up football hooligans jumping over a little concrete wall and leaving the pub with which they had probably been drinking in all day (most don't work?). They had heard some primal call, some cry from the drunken alpha male, some primitive being that had decided now was the time, the time to go and.......go and do what? This got me thinking, seeing all the police and all the money and investment being wasted. Both from the hooligans and the police who where trying to contain them. Why not just have two pubs. Two pubs with some wasteland in between them. You would have massive stands on either side so that spectators could come and cheer and chant. You would have helicopters flying around with search lights. you would have flashing lights and some kind of bottled testosterone that could be pumped into the arena on some kind of mist. The hooligans would be given free alchol all day and would be agitated by different means at different times until the release of the testosterone mist which would tip them over the edge and send them into a Frenzie!! of course the police would be there. But they would not be real, they would be more hooligans dressed up as police (obviously they would have to audition before hand. The audition would be based on previous police video surveillance footage) The stands would Be full of paying customers on two sides and more hooligans on the other two sides who don't pay. These are the hooligans that pretend to follow and support the other hooligans who they have come to watch. Of course the whole thing will Be televised and sold through satellite companies and beamed into the homes of would be hooligans, in order to maintain the numbers and gain recruits for the future. The whole thing could be taxed by the government or raise money for worthy charities.
check out the links below for the great work. But be warned, if you have been riding in an air condition bus for what seems like days or if not weeks, then its gonna hit you like a massive wall of humidity!!!
