Rule book of the gentleman's quarterly (May 5, 2014)

 I have a fierce appetite for reason and it gets blended with the most passionate of circumstances.  You would think that last statement (if it read as brilliantly) would be all that need be had.

 

So there's the rule.  Why continue.

 

• I have a fierce appetite for reason and it gets blended with the most passionate of circumstances. MA2014

 

There is this thing I have in mind regarding the mainstream, in which I feel abuses the most derelict of all men and women.  You would misunderstand this act of writing about it.

 

My feeling is that in a world where generationally, evolution seems to be the word which subjugates our reality - the survival of the fittest so to speak.  That in general our view of each other and ourselves is never seen or heard.

 

Let me give this example of generational arrogance.

 

I am at a time in my life where I look back with great absence.

 

In fact my lineage throughout this model of time (of which time cannot exist) has invariably made me.

 

Now that I am far removed from my present age to lets say the early 90's when I was 13 and maturating.

 

I recall how stupid my peers were that they got hooked on Nirvana or Pearl Jam because it seemed like the message getting across was an allowance to be adults in some fashion.  To emulate the rock hero's as if they understood it.

 

Fast forward to today and it is a much different alibi I just renounced.

 

When I hear music today, those (sounds) are not reminiscent of a time I knew what today would become.

 

=========

 

The truth is that the music was intended as it was to be part of your soul at a later date, a later time you thought it existed.

 

=========

 

I hear Nirvana today as far more relevant than it struck with the pale advancements when their music first became a 'thing'.  Nirvana never meant any of what my generation (at the time) thought they knew or would become.  Pearl Jam even less so.  Between the two bands Nirvana always wins.

 

Pearl Jam was a bad investment gone terribly wrong.  That is how I see it.  These are not so much facts as they are minions.

 

========

 

My point here is this - that no matter the fascination you were influenced or thought of yourself as - beware of it.  It never really happened.  You got stuck in your opinions of others above all else.  That is how generations work.  They hardly know the DNA they are under-aware of much lesser components.  You thought the world knew you and what you would become.  Peral Jam or Nirvana are good indicators of your failure to reach it - the pinnacle of self-righteousness.  Today we are gathered with UFC championship fighters cradled in an assembly of blood thirsty cohorts.  Which one are you is my question.  Which part of the generation are you worth fighting over.

 

The main picture is that 20 years after Pearl Jam or Nirvana has evolved you would think we are now better off. 

 

I rather listen to Nirvana not Pearl Jam and it is strictly a matter of preference.

 

========

 

Now consider how obsolete you have made yourself.  You listen to Nirvana today I guarantee you would never have thought about its genius at the time.
