The Tough Times : Another Amadeus Post on Craigslist

http://berlin.en.craigslist.de/zip/2094320429.html

On November 29th, 2010,  Amadeus Hostel, lost it's worst worker.

On November 30th, I went to the doctor with my severance pay, and got my fix of Cortisone for the eczema on my arms, chest, forehead, stomach and leg area.

On December 1st, I got my first case of the Cortisone blues, and considered quitting my new job at Alcatraz Hostel so that I may have more time to think about how things got the way they did, and this picture of King Saul by Bruegel:

Richard M. lures the girl into the forest with a doll.


“Help!  My neighbor is always photographing my daughter,” says Angela Burbach (42), a grocer from Zurich in Switzerland, as she takes her daughter Julia (9) protectively into her arms.  “I can’t find peace of mind for one minute, I’m so scared for my nine-year-old daughter.  I am sure that my neighbor is a creeper!”  In despair she pushes her face into her hands.  Her nerves can’t take it anymore.  She can not understand why it is that her creepy neighbor won’t leave her little daughter alone.  For months, he’s been giving her little gifts.  He photographs the nine-year-old kid again and again, speaks with her and watches her playing on the monkey bars.  Julia has gone from being a happy child to a shy, guarded girl.  She has become insecure and timid.  “The neighbor is really weird,” she says.  “He always gives me gummy bears, cookies and tells me how pretty I am.”  The girl with the blue eyes and merry blond locks doesn’t know to react to the neighbor, who always comes off as a bit too friendly.  Richard M. (38) lives in the same house as Angela and her daughter, and he is at first glance friendly and helpful.  When the single mother moved in to her new place two years ago, her neighbor helped her with numerous little favors.  “He repaired Julia’s kid’s bike and would accept packages for us,” remembers Angela, pensively.

Remnant of Bard's Webmail/ Some Misplaced Confusions Revisited/ MMMM Please White Boy

Dear Sjord,

Your comments on Nietzsche are full of interesting observations and
nuggets of insight.  However, as you also correctly note, you do not
quite control the material  You need a question that you will answer.
What is this question?  I know that you are aware of many issues in
this work but for the sake of your paper you need to choose one or, if
you choose several, they should be related by a common question.

Here are some of my specific responses to your observations:

Quoting md811@bard.edu:

> Dear Gennady,
>       I hope in my essay to write about the practical and rational
> throughout The Birth of Tragedy, but especially focusing in on its

> seemingly greater than themselves.

1.  I do not think that N sees that the reason why Socrates and
Euripides subverted tragedy was due to public opinion.  Rather, he
sees this subversion as a more general existential tendency of humans
to fear life, Being, since it brings destruction.  In this sense,
Euripides and Socrates reflect, as well as shape this existential
fear.  From N's point of view, this shift in focus away from the Will
as the underlying reality of all life effectively killed tragedy as an
art form, and in a larger sense killed art as an activity isomorphic
to life and Will.  That which constituted the essence of tragedy and
art was destroyed.  So, later tragedies, in N's view, are not really
tragedies any more, nor are they art.




 I have not yet gained enough

You are right, he does not spend a great deal of time on the birth of
reason and critique.  He does suggest that they are born out of the
principium individuationis, the principle of individiatuion.  They are
born out of the Appolonian element as a reaction to the awareness of
the imminent destruction.  Again, Socrates and Euripides are not only
shapers of this new attitude but also reflections of the more general
fear of humans.


He seems here to deny the arc of tragedy within

I do not  think that N implies that Ancient Greeks were pessimistic.
On the contrary, they were, in his view, profoundly optimistic even in
the face of destruction.  They could balance their existence between
the fear of destruction, the joy of merging with the original oneness,
and the illusions of individuation.

I hope these responses will help.

Best,

Gennady

A return (l8ly poasted)

I feel this blog has lost it's spark, it's purpose, it's chutzpah.

The purpose of this post is to reassess the purpose of this blog.

Last night I cut my finger.
It reminded me of the purpose of this blog,
but it also reminded me that I had health insurance.

In other words, this blog seems useless.

Still, seeing  blood slide out the slit in my fingertip stirred my habitual dread.

"Oh fuck, this is the end," I yelled to myself and the two men comfortably seated behind the door of the men's bathroom stalls. How they hogged the dirty bits of toilet paper - my only hope.  ONLY HOPE.

Then I realized that I had made a bow-tie out of gauze, because it was halloween, and anything goes, Rose.



see, look at the nice bow tie!

fingy = better
nose = swollen with staph and garlic

Personal Business

Hi Dijk,

It is DD Dragon,

We would like to schedule an interview with you this week. We prefer to use Skype if that is okay with you. What time is conveinent for you? We prefer tommorow morning/afternoon or Friday morning/afternoon. Right now we are quite busy but would really like to meet you and answer any questions you may have.

About the visa, you can come to China on the tourist visit but it is best not to extend it. If you plan to work here long time it is best to apply for a work visa with company sponsorship after you arrive.

Thanks,
DD Dragon



Dear DD Dragon,

    Sorry that I only got to reading this letter now, I was away on
vacation for a short while.  In any case, I would very much enjoy to
interview for the position at your school. I will be available for an
interview on Tuesday morning, anywhere between 8:00 am - 4:00 am my
time (2:00 pm - 10:00 pm your time).  Please let me know what works
for you.  Thank you very much for your interest and time.

Sincerely,
Sjoerd Dijk

plan b

    Today, at around 3:00 in the afternoon, I met with a comfortable and outgoing gentleman who interested himself in the roots of my names and intentions here in Germany.  I met him in his home.  As I walked in, I noticed my information already sitting on the living room table.  Everything was in its right place, and you didn't have to look around much to notice that.  You know some one is a good designer when you don't have to examine anything closely to feel their intentions.  The only thing that caught my eye was a book on Mao's China, and only because I had read "I CHING" written down its spine in bright yellow letters.
     He was charming.  He charmed me.  He had slicked back black hair, dyed it seemed.  He asked questions about my parents, about Austria, Holland, Korea.  Eventually I stopped answering and smiled. He looked down nervously to try and collect his thoughts before we got to business.  In the pause I had the chance to look at his couch, his kitchen, his flip flops and his fancy pajamas.  "I am sorry I look like this, I did not expect you so early," in German, of course.  "Don't worry, you look better than I do," I replied, smiled and he looked down at his crotch, which he had covered in papers and pamphlets.

     He sold me my health insurance.  My loins moaned deeply.


if this doesn't go as smoothly for you,
here is a recommendation:

The Gold Rush / Myungho's Tele-Interview

7:29 - My 7:30 phone interview with an ESL Representative in Seoul.






No answer, so many questions.

The MESSAGE

The real purpose of this blog is to expose myself to the world while I come to terms with my fear of spontaneous combustion.




spontaneous combustion can happen anytime, to anybody who doesn't believe.


Why would I spontaneously combust, you ask?


The reasons are endless.


For example:


-You put on your sweatshirt, made in China.
-You forgot to say goodbye to your friend before you left the country.
-You didn't empty the bin.
-You thought about one particular vagina/penis too much
-You didn't say grace.
-You did say grace, to a false idol.
-You didn't pick the hair out of your tub.
-You don't have health insurance.
-You hate your boss enough.
-You work at amadeus hostel in berlin
-You think your boss is a tragic anti-villain.
-You want to die.
-You drink too much
-You go to church too much.
-You haven't called your grandma.
-You haven't called your grandpa.
-Your grandparents are dead.
-Your tv is on.
-Someone you used to know and never thought twice about is on that tv.
-You played flashlight tag once in 5th grade, and it was too much fun to understand the rules.
-You have a crush on someone, no two people, no four people, overseas.
-You think you can wake up tomorrow morning.
-You like looking in the mirror.
-You like emailing.


What happens?


You burst into flames. You die - but you don't damage anything else other than the chair you're sitting in.


Why is that the way to go?


Because no one will see it happen, and someone will reenact your death on the discovery channel, the way the imagined it to have happened.


Why not leave it up to a bacteria or cancer?


Personally?


Personally


Because you can't go to a doctor


What's the problem with doctors?


They know too much, I love them.


I LOVE DOCTORS!


Is it your dream in life to combust?


No, it is my dream in life to marry a doctor.


So then why this fascination with spontaneous combustion?


It is the last way out that the discovery channel (led by doctors DUH) can't solve. They can't even solve IT.


And IT could happen anytime?


IT could happen anytime you mock it.














Sincerely,
john waters

Suicide

This blog is also an open discussion on the topic of suicide, or latin for self cide, or sui murder.

To begin, we will look at a picture of a dead person

and what can kill you



Three weeks ago I was diagnosed with staph infection.
I wanted to live an ascetic life so I ate only rice, beans, and read Krishnamurti
Now I am looking for a reason why photo number two
doesn't have a right
to my body.


Hi god.
