great year for everyone

Press your nose against
the pane and spot life
where it once was
-Larry Jaffe

Well, I just wanna say happy new year to everyone.  

Continually it seems am being alienated from the Internet. It’s a gradual process at deinternation, an ascent from an immurement somewhat, or is it an addiction wearing off. It shouldn’t be a good sign, it should feel strange I should think, but it doesn’t, instead its piles of sorts of freedom, bits of carelessness, non-attachment, negligence of significance of being lost. It feels kind of ostentatious, one of those things happening as a mere whim yet with a deep undertone of contention. I know someone who would call this a richot moment.

The year leapt. An wow what a year. Like the hills of Kigezi, yes; ups and downs. Most memorably, I met astounding mates, blog mates and the exchange has been remarkable. Adieu.

I too get intervals of being 'alienated' from the Net, and then get closer to the Family and Nature. At times one needs that; it can be very refreshing.

Immurement: I am planning to start uploading my diary for the past ten years on my blog. And what is the most consistent is the theme of alienation. It must come of metaphorical dettachment - the life of the aesthete; dillententes; deferring; not wanting to commit when there is still so much to understand. And it becomes the permanent state - this holding off, this continuous adjournement. The Internet may have become the perfect ship for continuous travel. Consider David Wojnarowicz:

"Transition is always a relief. Destination means death to me. If I could figure a way to remain forever in transition, in the disconnected and unfamiliar, I could remain in a state of perpetual freedom. [...] Destination is an entry point for the practitioners of the fake moral screens."

The Internet is the surrogate ship - or even ship itself! - of procrastination.

But wait for it, sor something does seem to happen to you when you find that even Alienation itself has let you down. Yes. Several times I found myself unable to find meaning in alienation and beyond that was animmense field, some times terribly totalitarian. sometimes - like when I went to the mortuary to see my mothers body, found a world curiously shaven of Totalities. There, amidst that place where this space shuttle called the mind gets shipwrecked, was without subjectivities, no metaphysics, no similies. It was a wonderment of existentialism. And you have to contend with this. For I believe that what I found beyond alienation was an existentialist stasis. Oddly, it is rather moving.
