listening to "another workout" or how i learned to stop working and listen to jazz

(editor's note: i realize the picture above is from "workout" as opposed to "another workout." all apologies to the chairman for taking liberties. peace and fuck everybody- grachan moncur)
slogans for a new world...free orgasms on demand, free delbert africa, benton europe, dennis asia, and all political continents. two hours of work, 10 hours of sleep, and 12 hours of leisure. it is important to get your mickey z's. here we go again, another day on this dying planet. today, oman, when asked what value the 5 had in the number 50, said 550. ahh, special needs. don't we all have "special needs" i "need" jazz, to rant against the "man", "charlie", the "system", "them",the FBI, CIA, the national insecurity state, reality tv, the bar scene, paying rent, blah blah blah. is there a class for peeps like me? is there a way to track me? am i paranoid? conspiratorial? irrational? well, the last time i checked, the bombs are still falling on iraq, children are still starving, prisoners are still being tortured, women are still being raped, and pimp my ride is still on tv. What would a psychologist tell me? that i have issues with "anger management?" that the problems of the world "begin with me?" that i long to be 'back in the womb?" who wouldn't want free milk and a free habitat? how, is one supposed to "manage anger" while genocide rolls on and is called freedom and democracy? so, what to do? well, smile! be polite, make small-talk, pretend that your job matters, that you care whether students know how to multiply negative numbers. here is a math problem. if a million iraqis have been killed in 4 years, at the same rate, how many will be killed in 20 years? true or false question... will anyone ever hold "never again" signs over "our" genocides? multiple choice question which didn't make the final addition of this year's SAT..."this promising young black panther leader was brutally murdered in his sleep" a) fred mertz b) lionel hampton c) fred hampton d) ready for freddie e) c and d. the rantings of a commie jew you surmise? perhaps, but does that make them wrong? america, when will you be james worthy of kurt rambis? america, when will you be worthy of ike quebec, and geoffrey canada? g-d, where are we headed, and do they have air conditioning there? will race still be a social fact and a biological fiction? will rich white heterosexual corporatists still have their collective finger on the death switch? and will harmless jerks like me still "oppose" them with the mighty pen? will the blog exist ?He gave us a book. unfortunately, it was a work of fiction.

not only is the book a work of fiction, but there are no pictures in the goddamn thing!
