whats crazy about all american rejects doing house shows is that its a completely inhospitable environment for people over the age of 26. no millenial boomers allowed in to make it cringe. this is how theyve managed to capture the hearts of the zoomers.
Cosmic consciousness is a thing that can happen to anyone—like falling in love, or getting measles, or…. It’s an experience of being one with the whole scheme of things; where suddenly you wake up and see that, for always and always and always, you are one with this universe, and that the whole system of the universe—despite all its troubles—is fundamentally harmonious. It’s difficult to say that everything is right, because that doesn’t make any sense—because you don’t know right without wrong. But there’s this sensation of being “Aaaaah.” It’s called ineffable—that is to say, unspeakable. And the task of a poet and a philosopher such as myself is to eff the ineffable: to say what can’t be said—which is what I’m trying to do. I’m trying to express what it’s like to have cosmic consciousness because I believe that if human beings understand this kind of experience, they will be much more secure in themselves, and much less insane in their behavior. Because we behave insanely because we feel lost, because we feel alienated from the universe. And therefore we’re attacking the universe: we feel that we have to indulge in the conquest of nature, the conquest of space, that we have to beat everything into submission. And this is because we don’t realize that we are sons of god, or (if you want to say) true children of nature.
YES I absolutely LOVE that the Vail Ski Patrol went on strike during the busiest time of year. Its about time massive corps like Vail realise they can't keep taking advantage of people financially because its a "fun" job
