Life Goes On

Big Yellow Taxi

Owl and I have been talking about getting some of my photos printed up for maybe a show sometime. I, being myself, think that would be pretty awesome. What better place to have a dicussion than right…. here.
So, here goes, I’ll post a few today, maybe some tomorrow, etc. Lets get the ball rolling shall we?

I know that the City recently tried to buy M Hill, I don’t know how that goes, and I also know that Pete Lien and Sons owned most of that mountain in the past, and I’m not sure if they still do. I also know that it would be a really expensive thing to do but it would be really awesome. Do you guys think I’m nuts or do you think there’s a chance it could ever happen?

awesome

technology is cool

4:53pmJake

Too cool?

4:54pmBonny

it would only be too cool if it worked 100% of the time

and at my count it only works 50% of the time

4:54pmJake

So it can stay cool then.

do I only have to work 50% of the time to reamain cool?

4:56pmBonny

you only have to be cool 59% of the time, if you were cool 100% of the time you would be to cool

4:57pmJake

I’m going to toggle between 58% and 59%. I don’t like the pressure.

4:57pmBonny

i hear you… its a comfortable percent

4:57pmJake

I think I’ve been trying to stay too cool. It’s time to be less cool. Mexico’s a nice place to not have to be cool. Montana – too cool.

4:58pmBonny

well, you are pretty cool, i could easly see how being too cool could happen easly when you are already that cool

4:59pmJake

I don’t knowing about “being” that cool as much as “trying” to be that cool.

You’re cool.

5:00pmBonny

i’m a geek. theres a huge difference

5:01pmJake

Geeks are cool, right. Besides, being cool is for other people to say about you, otherwise it’s not “being” cool, it’s “trying” to be cool.

Huge difference there too.

5:03pmBonny

i used to have a cat who was too cool

i often times said he was like the really cool popular boy in high school who was cool because he gave you attention even though you weren’t cool, but only when he felt like it… other times he was to cool

5:06pmJake

Yes, to be cool, really cool, one has to be equal with people. Sting is cool. I’m not sure Lenny Kravitz is cool. Actually, I don’t know if either of them are cool. Was The Fonzz cool?

5:06pmBonny

no

he was defiantly too cool

i think barack obama is cool

5:07pmJake

Seems like we think people we don’t know are more fit for coolness than people we people we do know.

I too think Barack Obama is cool, way cool.

5:07pmBonny

Way cool is different than Too cool

its like a different direction

I think there is a really think line between cool and too cool, but being way cool is like going past too cool to the ultimate coolness

5:09pmJake

Way cool it is. Bush was not cool at all.

5:09pmBonny

hes un cool

5:09pmJake

I want to talk about the “think line”.

You responded fast to that one.

5:10pmBonny

sorry

5:10pmJake

got it in for W?

5:10pmBonny

just think he’s uncool

if we have a too cool and a way cool and a just cool, we have to have an uncool too dont we?

5:13pmJake

Absolutely, but perhaps it’s another word, and we need to express different levels of coolness in other terms as well.

5:14pmJake

Frigid, frozen, cold, cool, icy. And rank them from lowest to highest, the coldest of course being the Barack, Ghandi, Stevie Wonder level.

5:15pmBonny

so you’re looking to literalize the word cool?

then couldnt you get into the relm of hotness applied to physical appearance?

5:16pmJake

Unless you want to talk about the “think line”.

5:17pmBonny

i’d love to talk about the think line

5:18pmJake

What the hell is it?

5:18pmBonny

you are supposed to tell me

5:20pmJake

You brought it up.

5:21pmBonny

haha, i just re read… i meant to say thin line

5:21pmJake

Read your response back at 6:07.

5:21pmBonny

but we should still talk about the think line

5:21pmJake

Yes, thin line. Dad meant to say Space.

5:22pmBonny

so what is it?

5:23pmJake

I was just told I was still “pretty cool”.

I’m not sure.

5:23pmBonny

actually i think i think i know exactly what i think it is

5:23pmJake

good.

I think you got it.

5:23pmBonny

i think its the line where we stop thinking. like when i talk to someone and say something completely different than i mean to because my mind has already moved on to the next thing

5:29pmJake

So it’s a line that marks a point of diversion or change of direction. Unlike a line you’d follow on the side or middle of the road in a white out?

5:32pmBonny

i think its a line that is much easier to lose track of, one that disappears right before you put your keys or the remote down. and one that veers so quickly you are left performing actions subconsciously rather than with intent

5:34pmJake

It sounds like the line between consciousness and sub-consciousness. a line between intention and habit.

5:36pmBonny

i’m not sure about that, but it is a line that takes effort to stay on. like a balance beam or better yet like a tight rope walker. You have to pay attention to it always, like the white or yellow lines on the road. if you turn to tune the radio, or look down at the ground, or just happen to start thinking of something else you can fall from the line.

5:37pmBonny

I’m going to have to go get my daughter in 5 minutes… but would love to finish this conversation

5:38pmJake

Let’s do finish it up. There should be a movie called the think line. A thriller.

5:41pmJake

Make a post for the think line on the Spave. See if we can get some more ideas. I have a couple of others.
