A Day in the Life of Timothy Stone
the end of knowledge or worse than that the end of feeling because you stop feeling the fear numbing it just gets to be this numbing pulsing in the back of your brain stopping you from pressing forward to jerusalem or theyve forgotten or maybe we will just blow the whole thing up i dont know i dont care its like a truck an eighteen wheeler out on the freeway and you stand in front of it and you try to push it back but you cant so then you call your sister and you push it again and you cant so you call your brother and your father and your mother and your friend and pretty soon it seems like you have an army of people and it seems like you can move it and you push it back for about a few feet and a few more feet and you keep pushing and you get about a mile or so and then you stop and you push and you cant push anymore and you look and another truck has pulled up behind because he has built another and so maybe you can and maybe you cant because you cant stop the energy the force and thats why it doesnt matter because they keep on - the beauty keeps on - the rainbows keep on - and the forests the emerald forests of the sky are free the way they seem tonight the moon over china sings again to me - cliffs of honey fall into the sea but i dont care the war wont last till right do i know the whole thing i think so - the emerald forests of the sky are free the way they meet my eyes this night - the moon oer china sings again to me - cliffs of honey fall into the sea but i dont care the war wont last till right - the emerald forests of the sky are free - knights thats right the knights in armour rode on wicked glee and yet their torches burned so very bright - the moon oer china sings again to me - cartoons do you now name me harmlessly or shattered dreams of i forever dressed in white - the emerald forests of the sky are free - athena lend your arms to me i say and manfred mind me with your might - the emerald forests no the moon over china the moon oer china sings again to me - the sunsets lain beyond the shores decree the mountains yet surpassed its height - the emerald forests of the sky are free - the moon oer china sings again to me - and so anyway that was the whole thing so anyway what was i thinking
life goes on - the rainbow and the forests and the rocks and the sunsets and the suns and the sunsets and the waters and rains and the oceans and the streams the dust and sands and waterfalls the rocks the clouds volcanoes and the mountains and the cliffs they just keep on beauty keeps on life keeps on even in the things not living because youve got this stream and you can damn it but it just keeps on going until it explodes because there isnt any beginning and there isnt any ending i seen the beginning and now i seein the endin from ocean to ocean to bay to gulf to river to ocean to bay because where did i begin - the sperm and the egg - right the sperm and the egg and before that - the testicle and the ovary - and before that - the blood and before that the food and before that earth and excrement and plant light the sun i was always something and i will always be something and so you arent ever really born and you dont ever really die its the law of conservation of mass and energy of existence that nothing ever ceases to exist its just changing forms like proteus reinhart who is reincarnated into new life and not just people but all forms of waves and energy and life stories and myths and it might take a billion years but you are gonna be part of a living creature again somewhere somehow and not even in the living living but in the living dead the rocks and the earth and the soil and the energy and the light and the sun and you will be everything and everything will eventually be you of the whole universe is you and you are the whole universe beyond time beyond this time if you could open it up so that it is now everything everything all is one and one is all and you are god and jesus and lucifer and hitler and kennedy and einstein and newton and king you are the sparrow and the albatross and the serpent and the snake serpentine rabbits the tree and the flower and the rock and all of these which are you but not you never not you but you
“you saw it first on n b c” well who gives a sh*t they make such a big deal about being there first what difference does it make youre gonna hear about it eventually if its important and youre not gonna remember where you heard it because if you remembered where you heard crap like that they wouldnt have to make commercials telling you where you heard it from - and they break into the important shows then it really pisses you off - youre trying to watch cheers or hill street blues or something and they interrupt to tell you that we dropped a bomb on lybia or something - well who cares - like i am supposed to do something about that between now and ten oclock - i cant find out about it on the ten oclock news or at least between programs - i mean if there is a storm or something that you have to know about that is one thing but they interrupt tv for any damn reason and then they run commercials bragging about the fact reminding you that they pissed you off thats not good business hey lynn
“what”
did i tell you about the sales gimmick of the twentieth century
“what”
you know how on cheers sam can only drink spring water cuz heez an alcoholic
“heez an alcoholic”
yes
“i didnt know that” oh my god - of course heez an alcoholic thats one of the main premises of the show
“thats kind of weird that a recovering alcoholic would open up a bar” oh my god - exactly - its called irony - anyway - if you notice he always drinks out of this clear bottle with no writing on it or anything else - so you make seven up or something and you just put it into a clear bottle with nothing else on it - itll sell like hot cakes - the advertising is wide open - what is it - i dont know - give it to mikey - he will try it - he will try anything - it tastes great - what is it - its nothing - well nothing is really something
“i bet people would buy that just like they bought the pet rock” but i think you have to put stuff like bar graphs and nutritional information the government makes you that would be cool if it were just an empty bottle with a bar graph - but you have to put the nutritional information - there is no nutritional information it just has no nutritional value you can assume the worse - my other idea for a commercial is you know those bugle boy jeans commercials where the guy is by the highway
“yeah”
but then the girl always leaves without him it doesnt make any sense - so you have the chick drive up and she says excuse me are those bugle boy jeans - no - theyre levis - cool - hop in - and the guy jumps in and they drive away together
“thats good”
im gonna call coke and levis - but really except for that there is nothing to do thats what they dont realize thats really the ultimate reason why they cant run the country not just because its our future at stake and not theirs but also because they think that there is something for people to do if they were industrious but there isnt - they dont realize that people are graduating from college good colleges ivy league colleges and law schools and business schools and medical schools and there just isnt anything for them to do - they are looking for jobs - they want to work but there just isnt anything for them to do - we dont need anything - everything that we need to get done is pretty much getting done tell me what you want me to do and i will be happy to do it - its not like the fifties - there isnt all this potential for growth - we have more people who need to be employed and more things to be invented we have more things so we have less things to be invented - we need less things - everyone has a car - everyone has a tv - everyone has a v c r - and the people that dont dont have them because they cant afford them not because theyre not available - not because they need to be made - we have computers and faxes and telephones we have enough mcdonalds and wendys and burger kings - we have exceeded our demand - and there just isnt anything for people to do - those old ideas are antiquated they dont work anymore - its not just a matter of being industrious its a matter of being too efficient - its a matter of supply far exceeding demand - you dont need two hundred and fifty million people to support two hundred and fifty million people - thats why we have to enter new markets international markets - but then they are going to grow - i mean that will only temporarily solve the problem - and all at the same time its getting faster and more efficient exponentially faster and more efficient so that two hundred and fifty million people arent really even necessary to support five billion - plus you have all the other people that need to produce something so they can have money to buy what we are producing - and why do we want to produce all of this crap anyway - what does it amount to - its just pollution its just plastic its just crap anyway - whats so great about producing something - everyone has put all of this credence in wall street that we should produce something build something instead of living off the buying and selling of others - but thats exactly what we dont need - we need to produce less - we need more services - we need more lawyers and brokers and consultants - we need more people who live off of the buying and selling of others - agents and consultants and investors and brokers and advisors - because we cant just keep making plastic and plastic and sh*t - theres no where to put it - theres no one to buy it - theres no one who really wants it - theres no one who needs it - and no one who can afford to buy it even if they wanted to - we can make cars that last so long that people dont need to buy another car - its just
