When you just need to let your mind wander…

I have been goofing around with painting for about 20 years now, and I know that Thrasher is certainly talented in graphical arts, and this collaborative art website just knocked my socks off when I found it several years ago. Its worth going back and checking from time to time.

First Frame of the ZoomQuilt... Truly Awsome

If Feminism is a modern concept… and post-modernism is “in” and the “correct” way of thinking…

Then logically I should come to the same following conclusion if I want to keep up with the times…

(from Zach over at Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal)

MPM’s note:

I do believe in equality for women and men, my mother is one of the most assertive successful women I know, but she is ladylike, feminine and a great mom to my brother and I and fantastic loving and affectionate wife to my dad… you CAN be both a powerful woman and a great mom and spouse, but its not GIVEN, you have to EARN it… Men can be both too, and have to earn it too… but I guess knowing how stupid people are about this stuff is exactly why I thought this comic was particularly funny… people need to get over themselves and stop trying to be cool and just get shit done…

I also fully understand the post-modern critique, but its not adequate in and of itself for all applications, particularly in understanding human behavior… sorry you cultural studies, PoMo cultural anthropologists, Sociologists, and Psychologists…

I recently had a counseling psychologist say “you really need to learn more about cultural differences” to me… ME…

Those of you who know me… know EXACTLY what kind of shit-storm that unleashed upon that “counselor” with her U. Cal degree.

“Um… you stick to the head-shrinking, I’ll stick to the culture stuff, o.k.?” Was about the nicest thing I said to her. I should have said “you really need to learn more about how people formulate thoughts and emotions…”

PoMo and “I know culture” people who have no idea what the Standard Cross Cultural Sample is or who George Peter Murdock was have no business even talking to me. I will eat them for breakfast. I appreciate understanding the bias a scholar brings to their study and working to eliminate or mediate its effects… but… the tripe that comes out now… YIKES!!

This is why I consider myself a “neo-modernist” (or “neo-processualist for you “dirt monkeys” who read this blog…)
