dream
agent stone and some others in some sort of weird orgy, in some kind of strange apartment which could be somewhere in germany or the us, inconspicuous area. i'm an observer, partly enthralled and partly stunned by the tackiness of the whole scene as a visitor from the hall peers into the open doorway and offers to participate. he removes his pants and then i wake up somewhat disturbed.
later i connect the dots and recognize i'm reading houellebecq, things seem to suddenly make strange sense. i'm like a character in one of his novels, the bland mundane meets the need to transcend.

the houellbecq i read is his biographical essays on hp lovecraft, 'against the world, against life.' which is brilliantly written and makes lovecraft totally human.

i have recommended 'prince of nothing' to a friend and i am excited that he is to read this amazing series.

work meanwhile...
what is it about the public service that attracts the usual suspects, born agains, jealous and envious people who have nothing better to do to do than compete against their peers, people whose illegitimate anger fuels their destructive nature where the moral high ground is to be conquered not reflected upon. jesus was a human, he was a political animal, a revolutionary, he was a guy who was flawed but a man of our times, yet he conquered his own anger and understood that life is pointless without the idea of love and he is right about this, as are all great teachers. to build a church around this and other religious teachers is a strange construct when essentially the message is the same. may as well build one around google.
oh! look some one has...

The Church of Google offers what it calls nine proofs:

1. Google is the closest thing to an omniscient (all-knowing) entity in existence.

2. Google is everywhere at once (omnipresent).

3. Google answers prayers. (''As an example, you can quickly find information on alternative cancer treatments, or new and innovative medical discoveries, and generally anything that resembles a typical prayer.'')

4. Google is potentially immortal.

5. Google is infinite. (The internet can theoretically grow forever.)

6. Google remembers all.

7. Google can do no evil. (Google's corporate philosophy is ''do no evil''.)

8. Google is believed. (The term ''Google'' is searched for more than the terms ''God'', ''Jesus'', ''Allah'', ''Buddha'', ''Christianity'' and ''Islam'' combined.)

9. Evidence of Google's existence is abundant. No faith is required.

see you at church i guess
