Marshall McLuhan--- especially when i suffer info overload and have no idea at all


Remembering McLuhan, famous communication theorist. More known for his --THE MEDIUM IS THE MESSAGE--legacy to information age prisoners like myself.

Some McLuhanisms (from a website dedicate to him: www.marshallmcluhan.com; also, visit http://www.mcluhan.ca/)
  • The story of modern America begins With the discovery of the white man by The Indians. -True di ba?
  • Whereas convictions depend on speed-ups, justice requires delay. --Kaya wag na magtaka bakit tambak kaso mga korte natin.
  • Invention is the mother of necessities. --cellphone at internet addicts, ang dami natin!
  • Mud sometimes gives the illusion of depth. --Maraming titser at estudyanteng ganito. hehe.
  • The road is our major architectural form. --just like our roads in this country.
  • Today each of us lives several hundred years in a decade. --kaya relak lang dapat.
  • When you are on the phone or on the air, you have no body.--i love this one. physicality+ presence+space=realness
  • All advertising advertises advertising.-- ... pera-pera lang yan.
  • This information is top security. When you have read it, destroy yourself. ---katakut but true
  • One of the nicest things about being big is the luxury of thinking little. --swak! tamaan magalit na.
  • Politics offers yesterday’s answers to today’s questions. --agree, grabe.
  • Food for the mind is like food for the body: the inputs are never the same as the outputs.--aruy!
  • At the speed of light, policies and political parties yield place to charismatic images.-- kaya puro pa-kyut na lang mga pulitiko. billboard kabi-kabila. anu ba yan??!!

ey joey


8 year-old cat Joey Burito or Joey Girly... she scratches.. most of my white scars her doing.
but i love her. she is a "pusakal" or pusang kalye (street cat). thrown away by irresponsible owners, my sister took pity and asked me to wean her. a very young kitten has to be held close to your heart, so she can hear your heartbeat. your heartbeat guides her heartbeat. the heat from your body keeps her warm.

kabiyak online.
Ogayam.
sapay koma kan Apo Cabonian
chug-an yaton biag nu.
fumilfilog ka, nakaladkad
agasan na sakit long-ag nu
sika agay asawak
sika agay lakay ko
pay-ok sika onay-onayan
achika machanagan
awachak sito.

sapay koma kan Apo Dios
achi taku vay-vay-an.
