what's really going on?

am citit-o in doua perioade, ambele concentrat. o pauza de aproximativ trei luni intre, un sfert prima oara, restul acum. o sa scriu niste tampenii in cele ce urmeaza dar avand in vedere ca o sa inchei cu niste citate destepte, poate o sa se stearga impresia. if not, asta e.
imi provoaca doua stari stilul dlui vonnegut-stilul plus povestea spusa-, prima e de incantare, umorul lui este fascinant, a doua de ..imposibila tristete, mi-e mila de el la fel cum mi-e mila si de mine..iata un om care nu crede in nimic, imi zic si ma bucur ca eu mai am niste nedumeriri macar, atat cat sa nu iau in ras totul. pe de alta parte, imi pare cu atat mai eliberator sa decizi ca totul e o gluma proasta la care poti sa razi pe saturate sau sa plangi pe infundate..impresii, pe scurt, tampenii desigur.



Beautiful is such a funny thing to be, said Sarah.

I think everybody older just pretends to know what's going on, that it's all so serious and wonderful.

Money is so strange, she said. Does it make any sense to you?
No, I said
The people who've got it and the people who don't, she mused. I don't think everybody understands what's really going on.
Some people must, I said. I no longer believe that.
I will say further as an officer of an enormous international conglomerate, that nobody who is doing well in this economy ever wonders what is really going on.

And the wisest men in Massachussetts said that Sacco and Vanzetti should die.

It was raining. "Nature sympathized". He laughed.
His laugh was a chilling about how little Nature ever cares about what human beings think is going on.

You know what is finally going to kill this planet? I said
A total lack of seriousness, I said. Nobody gives a damn anymore about what is really going on, what's going to happen next, or how we ever got into such a mess in the first place.
Israel Edel , with his d0ctor's degree in history, took this to be a suggestion that we become even sillier, if possible. So he began to make booping and beeping sounds.(...)

So I gave up on saying anything serious. I told another joke and I sat down.
