The Television Will Not Be Revolutionized

Idiot boxes of the world unite! To fight off the effects of intelligence, replace smart quotes with fart jokes, substitute sense with scenes from Martin, let the baby’s bathe in that glow and learn all manner of things they don’t really need to know!

The Television Will Not Be Revolutionized!

Channel the content of some rambling nonsense deep into the annals of yo’ subconscious, deprogram and depress chasing some televised success, be them, that, they and those be everything but in control,

The Television Will Not Be Revolutionized!

Small claims Court drama, teenage baby mamas, Osama watching Osama, Celebrity Endorsed indoor saunas, the perfectly cooked piraña and other cannonfodder for you to ponder, all at the speed of imitations of life while the smoke of war gets inhaled thru the peace pipes, be still my beating heart and scare my brain from thinking thoughts as i sit intoxicated by the delights, sarcasm and 3 strikes thrown by my favorite pitcher in a sound surrounded, 3 dimensional, high death, full color mixture, wholly unsocializing and completely uncensored,

The Television Will Not Be Revolutionized!

By this one-eyed monster most of the world was raised, and by this hero most of the world was saved, and to this master most of the world is slaves, it factors your fears with actors and cheers from a live studio audience pushing you to engage in a heroic act of thoughtlessness for the grand prize of a little bread, fleeting fame in the circus and every thought in yo head,

The Television Will Not Be Revolutionized!

“Ain’t no changing me” said my flat screen TV, No More Che’s to the rescue, or Black Panthers to correct you, just coaxial cables and satellite signals to connect you to a world that doesn’t really look like it does on TV, where everything is much shorter, fatter, uglier and in disorder, where u have to do it now because there are no digital recorders where if the present gets boring you can just fast forward,

The Television Will Not Be Revolutionized!

So there will be no revolution, or paradoxically ironic televised public execution of the entire worldwide televising institution, there wont even be a celebritized, televised trial of old baby blue, cuz you see my dear friends the television will not be revolutionized but what about the revolution that should taking place inside………………….of you?

"Im Mad as Hell.."

..well not really, but I am sick and tired of the programs that are broadcasted on the Idiot Box. As promised from last months post, I'm giving up television for the month of May. That means no television, no movie theaters, no online re-runs, no NBA Finals, no Office Season Finales, no Hangover 2! (What the fxck am I thinking?)

For the month of May its just gonna be me, my books, and these 1000 piece puzzles.
Its day 1 and I'm already going crazy. Im also giving up the usual pork and alcohol, but those sacrifices are cake compared to the no TV idea.
*bbm shoot myself face*

Chest Piece Finished

::some shit you might not care about::
Referencing early philosopher's interpretations of the Trinity and knowledge of the path of the Sun, they divided the life of all living things into three parts: Growth, Maturity, and Decay. The phase of maturity being midday, the point where the Sun is highest in the sky and most radiant(powerful). ((rising, midday, and setting))

..further
THE LION OF THE SUN.
From Maurice’s Indian Antiquities.
the sun rising over the back of the lion or, astrologically, in the back of the lion, has always been considered symbolic of power and rulership..
Witness the lion of the Great mogul and the eagles of Cæsar and Napoleon.












My piece:
The last name "Parker," adopted in 2002 from my then step-father. Above the Sun & Lion












And the artist who made it happen..Jon B.

...next to be completed: My Invictus piece and then starting on what I have planned for my back.

Outside of the Box

The first concept was patented in 1884.
Commercial use began during the 1920's.
And present day is now a keen tool in human development and social influence.
(television)

My generation no longer experiences life in the same manner in which previous generations have. We no longer think outside of the box. Whether it be a television, a computer monitor, a cellphone, or now a PC tablet, human beings no longer "think outside of the box."
We now rely on our electronic devices as our source for information, entertainment, social interactions, and companionship. I remember once upon a time it was the knee scrapping and skin peeling experiences that helped you find other individuals who'd you call your friend. Now its "suggested" to you through social medias such as Facebook, and is as easy as sending a "friend request" online.

Electronic Mail,Instant Messaging, Video Chat, Streaming Feeds, Online Banking, Online Shopping, Internet Pornography, Online Gaming, News Portals, Online Forums, Social Networking Sites, and an App for just about anything you can think of.
People walk down the street with one eye to their path and the other glued to their mobile device.

This month as well as for Lent, I gave up the usual alcohol, pork, and masturbation. And included in that, sweets, fast-food, and soda. But fuck the little shit..next month im giving up my beloved "Idiot Box!"(Great Mama's term for TV)

..ironically below is video of how television now molds our society.
..and another video offering a look "outside of the box" of a culture not dependent upon electronics.
