Lol, that's ok. I am comparative theology hunter, "the changing set of my finest addictions" as Thompson would say perhaps, and can't stop sliding into different culture/subculture clothes without too much fanaticism/zeal, just a taste of it, to feel part of the thing and still assess it with some distance. Baseline for me is "what would this sound like translated to box with wires aka guitar?" How shareable and memorable are the joys on offer if I take the leap of faith to believe? The guitar is the measure theology, if you will. How does theology x under consideration, dance, speak poetry, make doughnuts and fat, how does it make hate and love, what poison/euphoria exists here for whom, how shareable, how many laughs and tears? After Sunday, I will leave the World Cup theology as if it had never existed, although standing with the jocks and engaging collective delusion that what some athletes are doing are "our accomplishments" and their failures are "their idiocy which we judge and expose with snide comment" plus appropriate poison, is ok as group thing with clothes. Occasional need for testosterone validation over estrogen one... Whereas the doughnut theology Chris got me into; well this, I have to watch for, as it conflicts with all the panoramic extreme sports theologies (ones that serve to print exceptional views into memories, instead of the "extreme" risk for its own stupid sake postulate) and their fitness constraints. Without travel and frequent theology changes/dumps/starts, I'd be much more prone to my usual incompleteness/depression and less laughter at this cosmic joke where you never know the next vulgarly violent punch(line) coming your way. Addicted to fresh wardrobes/waters of other theology for fear of the functional imprisonment/reductionism of my own. This "freshness" feeds directly into material for composition. Just stepping out of routines once can unleash new set of stories I forgot I had. My own core theologies get stale too quickly which is a sad commentary on my life I guess, but there's always compensation in such question, like shot at having "most awesome, or second most awesome, kick spherical cow skin around a field theology on Sunday along with millions of fanatics", that I dump, come Monday :-) PGC -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
