Not really an assignment, but it will be a challenge and fun nonetheless.
Jobie is teaching a class on postmodernism and wants me to come in and present this video clip to them.
It is of course utter crap, but he wants me to provide pomo commentary as if we thought it was important for the kids to know about. So whattaya say, guys, can we analyze this film?
Today’s the summer solstice. Only six months until our Annual Meeting. Only six months since our Annual Meeting. Balance.

So today, my ash-bound brothers, I received a declaration of admiration from a young lady:

Johan Borgen, Norwegian writer/journalist/playwright, wrote:
“Personally I believe that man’s fascination for art lies in our unsatisfied desire for identity. I believe that our unarticulated longing for freedom, our painful and impractical and completely unreasonable longing for freedom derives simply from the fact that we are shut up inside that system of apparent necessities which is called our personality, or which we call our personality, because we need to fasten a fine-sounding name to the cage in which we have shut ourselves up. … We live a crippled life, shut up inside the narrow cage of considerations, caught in the net of expectations.” (Words Through the Years, 1966)
Be prepared to discuss.
