No, nothing of this kind here. Just tired of hearing/seeing that expression used.

So while we are at it, let’s get rid of:

out this world
awesome
whatever
fantastic
amazing
I’m like
groovy
far-out
kind of
totally
really
super
great
truly
deep
dude
yeah
wow
fuck
man
cool
shit
like
hey
…

Let us not hide behind non-speech. Grunting may be more appropriate.
I will add more as similar expressions come back to haunt me.

BREAK THE SURFACE

To ride the unbalance* between:
1. excellence and a kind, singular and porous identity that contains some of the scruples, humor, humility, musicality & the beauty of a harsh and confusing, yet benign and rich reality – away from distractions.
2. the stupidity and blindness of complacency, violence, injustice, pretense, egos, short-term… wishful… and group “thinking,” and empty talk – in all of their surprising embodiments. And the false sense of fullness all of this provides.

An appeal for a world NOT so caught up in anthropo/ego/euro/ethno/oculo/esthetico -CENTRISM.

1. Beware of those who claim to be strong – they are often dangerous.
2. Unmask the hoax of “centrality” – ask an “EX-centric” for assistance?
3. Perceive the arrogance of normalcy: everybody, in one way or another, is handicapped… which brings us back to 1.
