So, in "Homer Sapiens" today, we were discussing if it is possible to truly reject consumer culture in a society while still living within that society. While plenty of college students (especially in Collins) claim to oppose consumer culture and mainstream thought, they're still buying oil, clothes, college tuition, etc.
However, I got to share with the class a TRULY oppositional man. Who is it? None other than Jim Saraceno. I shared with the class that my father spat in the face of consumer culture by living in a bus in the middle of the woods. You go, dad. The entire class was impressed. I also informed them that Jim and Bonny will be at Collinsfest on April 15th, so there is excitement in the air.
In other news, this weather is fantastic.

Ya, man! I don't live by the rules, man! The rest of you can live in your bourgeois, banal, ticky-tacks in your suburban, strip-mall consumer-pits while me and Mother Nature (Bonny) are going to get down and be real with some weed, wine, and good lovin! We let it ALL hang out, man! Come the revolution, all you hate-mongers and war-pushers are going down!
UP AGAINST THE WALL YOU M@#^^%$#*&^%$&RS!
Ha! I can just see all those Collins folk talking down consumer culture...on their friggin' cell phones!!...with their fucking iPods stuck in their heads, wires trailing out like a friggin' umbilical cord hooked up to some whore at the capitalist gangbang!! Hypocrits all!!!
Oh yeah, while they sip lattes from Starbucks...and, and, yeah, what Jim said.
