things #18

Lyrical Obsessions, DND jokes, The Damnation of Oskar Schindler

This is the series where I talk about something of personal interest with you guys. Each week I’ll talk about 3 things in the hope that you too find the same experience that I had – or at least in the hope that you are entertained.

Don’t stop get it get it

So the other day, I was listenin to ‘Ayo Technology’ by 50 cent and that fly-ass white boy JT, and I came to find something quite interesting.

Now what interests ‘I like things’ so much one might ask.

And no, tis not drugs.

Tis not Kantian Ethics.

Tis not the vilification of the Obama’s.

Tis the lyric ‘Don’t stop, get it, get it’.

Cus as soon as I heard this shit, my mind harked back to ‘Feel Good Inc.’ by Gorillaz, where De La Soul also says ‘Don’t stop get it’. Thus open this realisation, I had to research more cus I was so arrogantly sure that I had heard this lyric elsewhere.

Now it showed up in this song ‘Don’t stop’ by Prospa – but that aint what I was looking for.

It also showed up in the freaky ass song ‘You Can Do it’ by Ice Cube – but I aint looking for that either. Its something older and more rnb-ish yk.

Cus we all know it shows up in ‘Nasty Dancer’ by Kilo Ali. I mean that’s a given. But that aint what I was looking for. But goated song fr tho.

BUT THEN I FOUND IT.

At 2:20 on ‘Still Not a Player’ by Big Pun and Joe, I finally hear the sweet sound of ‘Don’t stop get it get it’.

And once I became fulfilled by this, I realised that I had nothing left. Desire is never meant to be fulfilled, and coitus is never meant to end. And yet the goal of both is the orgasm. This dialectical paradox is never meant to be sublated, for the fluxion is where we must all reside. The constant edging of my search for this lyric was the true orgasmic fulfilment of my desire, and the notion of the orgasm being orgasm proper is mere δόξα.

This World is not Conclusion.

A Species stands beyond -

Invisible, as Music -

But positive, as Sound -

It beckons, and it baffles -

Philosophy, dont know -

And through a Riddle, at the last -

Sagacity, must go -

To guess it, puzzles scholars -

To gain it, Men have borne

Contempt of Generations

And Crucifixion, shown -

Faith slips - and laughs, and rallies -

Blushes, if any see -

Plucks at a twig of Evidence -

And asks a Vane, the way -

Much Gesture, from the Pulpit -

Strong Hallelujahs roll -

Narcotics cannot still the Tooth

That nibbles at the soul -

- This World is not Conclusion by Emily Dickinson

DND bits

At DND (dumb new dads) the other day, we was running some good bits so I thought I might expel some of them at ur face.

The first one was proclimated by the leather-clad, sexually promiscuous, elderly dwarf, Nelsey Boner/Dal the Pal. He discussed how in space no one can hear u cream.

Because as we all know, in the hit film Alien (1979) by Ridley Scott, that no one could hear Sigourney Weaver creaming everywhere. Since as we all know, she refused to be in Alien II (1986) directed by James Cameron (the inferior film) unless she got to fuck the Xenomorph.

But y pray tell would she wanna fuck such a creature.

Well because she was creaming ofc. And no could hear such a thing.

So in the second film they plan to get the camera and audio ready for us to make sure that in space we could hear her cream. Cus the whole issue with the first film was, that we couldn’t hear her cream at all. Hence the catchphrase, in space no one can hear u cream.

Now that’s pretty dumb, but im dumb, and so to me this is genius and comedy gold.

Now the second set of bits was done by yours truly. Cus Dal the Pal was complaining about the incessant regulation we have placed over the evil ring that was given to Mayor Cuomo of Willowville from Count Minestroff the scheming vampire. And then I accused of him of lobbying for the NRA (National Ring Association). He then shouted that rings don’t possess people, evil vampires do. I responded that Fantasy Sandy Hooks wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for ur organisation where 26 people – 20 of which were innocent children - were brutally shot (with possession). He then hid behind his fantasy second amendment rights.

Off this motif and the fact that we (we being the EDL – Elven Defence League) are running a mercantilist economy with a slave indulging trading company, we then began to run more fantasy economic bit. Especially when Felis/Big Dawg smited a shit ton of borcs (no not orcs, but borcs), and we tried to enslave them to the company. This enslavement was under our religious principle of free trade which we forced upon the Umberok Clan.

Our Market which art in heaven,

Profitable be thy name.

Thy economy come.

Thy invisible hand be done in earth,

as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily trade.

And forgive us our debts,

as we impoverish our debtors.

And lead us not into insolvency,

but deliver us from losses:

For thine is the economy,

and the money,

and the glory, for ever.

Amen.

- The EDL prayer for the Umberok-EDL clan and their Mongolian Presbyterian church of Paganistic free trade.

But yeah after this happened, we set up FNAFTA (Fantasty NAFTA/FNAF trade agreement) where the orcs give us nightmare Freddy and we give them The Living Tombstone.

I’m such a fat fucking chud.

The damnation of Oskar Schindler

So I rewatched Schindler’s list (1992) for the 4^th time the other night with Pip, and I realised something towards the end.

Cus one of my fav pieces of art, is in the middle-bottom middle-right of Raphael’s Last Judgement fresco in the Sistine chapel. In this section of the praegrandis artwork, we see what I believe most call ‘The Damned Man’.

He be damned

I mean look at my boy. He realises as being dragged down to eternal separation from Christ - who is so very near him - that he done fucked up fr. He fucked up heavy. Quite possibly the heaviest one could ever fuck up. Perchance. Peradventure.

I mean the damned man isn’t necessarily a bad guy, just a damned guy. Cus he the personification of our guilt that we are always capable of relinquishing in the past, present and future. In that way he may not necessarily be damned, but at that moment of space and time he is damned. That point of pure agony and guilt over ur own sin, is hell in and of itself. To realise guilt and sin is to be anti-beatific and separated from all that is good and forgiving.

Now I saw that in Oskar Schindler himself, played by Liam Neeson, in the famous last scene of Schindler’s List where he realises how many more people he could’ve saved if he had not been a greedy, cold-hearted capitalist.

And he looks not merely sad, or in the normal sense of the word guilty – but damned.

Herr Oskar is damned at this point, and he realises this, for saving one life is saving the world entire. Yet Herr Oskar gave up the world entire for booze, women, cars and silk suits.

Now in the grand scheme of things, he is not damned en mi opinion. But in terms of the absolute universality of moments, Herr Oskar was damned at that point – and damnation is awfully frightening and painful.

So yeah, that’s this weeks edition of things. Stay tuned till next week for - wait for it - more things. That’s right guys, I’m gonna talk about more things. And then the next week after that. [Pause and think]. Yes that’s correct, more things will be discussed.

Cus at the end of the day, I like things, and I like to talk about things.
