Should Have Feelings Alternatives

More From Kazuo Ishiguro

During the season, your team should be led with exuberance and excitement. you should live the journey. you should live it right. you should live it together. you should live it shared. you should try to make one another better. you should get on one another if somebody's not doing their part. you should hug one another when they are. you should be disappointed in a loss and exhilarated in a win. it's all about the journey.

I think i fall into a lot of cracks in terms of i'm too something. i'm too this, i'm too that. and my music has never really had a home. i've been this floating alternative. i'm too mainstream for alternative. i'm too alternative for mainstream. and i'm just kind of wandering.

The greatest feeling you can get in a gym or the most satisfying feeling you can get in the gym is the pump. it feels fantastic. it's as satisfying to me as cumming is, you know, as in having sex with a woman and cumming. so can you believe how much i am in heaven? i am like getting the feeling of cumming in the gym; i'm getting the feeling of cumming at home; i'm getting the feeling of cumming backstage; when i pump up, when i pose out in front of 5000 people i get the same feeling, so i am cumming day and night. it's terrific, right? so you know, i am in heaven.

There should be a class on drugs. there should be a class on sex education-a real sex education class-not just pictures and diaphragms and 'un-logical' terms and things like that.....there should be a class on scams, there should be a class on religious cults, there should be a class on police brutality, there should be a class on apartheid, there should be a class on racism in america, there should be a class on why people are hungry, but there are not, there are classes on gym, physical education, let's learn volleyball.

A person who has not been completely alienated, who has remained sensitive and able to feel, who has not lost the sense of dignity, who is not yet 'for sale', who can still suffer over the suffering of others, who has not acquired fully the having mode of existence - briefly, a person who has remained a person and not become a thing - cannot help feeling lonely, powerless, isolated in present-day society.

What hope is there for individual reality or authenticity when the forces of violence and orthodoxy, the earthly powers of guns and bombs and manipulated public opinion make it impossible for us to be authentic and fulfilled human beings? the only hope is in the creation of alternative values, alternative realities. the only hope is in daring to redream one's place in the world - a beautiful act of imagination, and a sustained act of self becoming. which is to say that in some way or another we breach and confound the accepted frontiers of things.

Lyric poetry is, of course, musical in origin. i do know that what happened to poetry in the twentieth century was that it began to be written for the page. when it's a question of typography, why not? poets have done beautiful things with typography - apollinaire's 'calligrammes,' that sort of thing.
