Re: Paul Virilio

Also, you do not talk about Fight Club. Also also, on Wednesdays we wear pink.
There’s still crying though, right? RIGHT?!?!? Otherwise I’ve been doing it wrong.
ABSOLUTELY there’s no quitting in Tumblr. And yes, I am talking to you.
OK, so which Paul Virilio book should I read...

In an attempt to organize my desk, I sorted through a stack of papers that were either filed or discarded. Apparently, I discarded a number of things that I needed to complete a report. I have to start from the beginning.

I mean, unless you’re dealing with a legitimately traumatic situation, going to therapy seems like an act of a drama queen to me.

My mother was a tearaway moped rider in the early ’60s, carving up the streets of Eltham, South London in her peaked helmet, secured by a simple strap under the chin. Revered by her contempories as Vespa Val, and by everyone else since as a total loon, she must have looked quite the cool socialite in Swinging London in her capri pants and tight pink sweater, perched femininely upon...
So yeah, Mills
First the bad news: contrary to langer’s speculation and, indeed the laws of nature, I can confirm that Mills is real. So now the rest of us guys just have to resign ourselves to the cold, hard fact that we’ll never be as intelligent, as funny, as attractive to women, as wise beyond our years; and that it’s already been done, and and even if we could do it, we would only ever be...

For the short-term, Aldrin suggests canceling NASA’s troubled and increasingly costly Ares I, instead launching manned capsules on commercial Delta IV, Atlas V, and/or SpaceX Falcon 9 rockets. In the medium-term, NASA should return to the moon with an international consortium, with the ultimate goal of commercial lunar exploitation in mind. Aldrin’s long term plan includes a 2018...
