don't fear the reaper

Its not the reaper, its the context:
All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain..we can be like they are
Come on baby…don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand…don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly…don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man…

Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity…Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday…Like Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday…Redefine happiness
Another 40,000 coming everyday…We can be like they are
Come on baby…don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand…don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly…don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man…

Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew then disappeared
The curtains flew then he appeared…saying don't be afraid
Come on baby…and she had no fear
And she ran to him…then they started to fly
They looked backward and said goodby…she had become like they are
She had taken his hand…she had become like they are
Come on baby…don't fear the reaper


Virilio says, and I paraphrase, "Fukuyama was wrong, history didn't die, Geography collapsed" its all about the speed of communication.
As well, Virilio points out that The crisis (Accident) in visual art is not an issue in the performing arts. The performing arts are always in time, the visual arts have to elicit the concept of time.
Beautifully expanding McLuhans prophecies.

Where is my geography when I post to Rhizome? Where is my geography if I play Everquest online with users from India, Germany, Brazil and Canada?
The history of our interaction is still time based, but the Nation State has no part. How can we write a history of the nation state when noone is interested in that context?
The failure of history is bound to old conventions (nation state and common geographic interest). With that eliminated, The new geography, the geography of rhizomatic interests takes main stage. Virilio is dead on the mark, and he's as scared as the rest of us. Write new histories.

"Write new histories."

(http://www.creative-catalyst.com/e-femoral/regina.html)

If Eve was done from an Adam rib (!) - http://arteonline.arq.br/eva/ , why
not to build the Great Earth Mother Cyborg from the Helen's femur stem? It
is really a new story! ;-) Is not it?

In fact, in Portuguese, the word Earth belongs to feminine gender, do not be
sad because the word sea, belongs to masculine gender.

Please, send me your men or women's chip because the Great Earth Mother
Cyborg is being built to love both genders, she is being built with much
Ethics, because, perhaps, she will be the future of our planet and it is the
oportunity we have to create the planet of our dreams. So that send me your
"poetry chip", "mickey mouse chip", "i love new york chip", "coca-cola light
forever chip" (I love it!), "gospels chip", woody allen chip", "jazz chip,
"samba chip", ipanema chip, "paris chip", "tango chip", …, … send me the
chip of what you appreciate in our old and full of pain world. But please,
do not send me guns or war or lack of respect with nature. The Great Earth
Mother Cyborg is a peaceful proposal.

Send me your chips to be installed into the head of the "Great Earth Mother
Cyborg".
(images, animations or movies > maximum: 100 pixels x 100 pixels, poems, >
+ - 3 lines or mp3 sounds)

To receive lots of chips would be really great!

Send your chip to [email protected]

Have a peaceful day,

Regina
