367. Industrial Ecology of Graduate School, Part 1 "Mass Produced Individual Identity" Photography (Picasaweb)

I created this photography series in Fall of 2007. The protocol for generating such images is to consume a hamburger from the ampm mini-market gas station 2am in the morning, make sure you feel sick the "next day," then attempt to clean your room and attempt to take pictures of yourself while at it. This is how I feel every single time I clean up the trash from my room: "Mass-produced Individual Identity. Self-System Identification. Am I more than just the summation of receipts? bills? credit card company mail? Am I just a NUMBER to all of you? Just a dollar bill? Just some random molecular human? "It's not that we don't care. It's just that we as humans don't have the CAPACITY to care." Why don't you create your own Mental Microcosmos of Humanity."

I suppose this can be called The State of Technological Interdependence. This is also called Physical/Mental Carrying Capacity-Saturation / Pseudo-autism / Eusocial Ecological Niche Space.

I am writing this in response to my frequent bouts of trash accumulation, combined with "purges" of this trash. I am establishing a philosophy of Accumulations and Purges.

128. Blue Horizons Continued: Very First Blog on June 25, 2007

Yesterday I spent my afternoon out with Oscar Flores out in Ventura. It was a nice, much needed break, but as I return to blogging, I feel guilty for having fun.... I have to get back into the Zen of Blue Horizons flashbacks.

Basically, the next three blogs will post the "first three blogs" that I wrote in the summer of 2007 that I never had the chance to post... until now. I wrote them in Microsoft Word, not exactly knowing how Blogger worked at the time. Since these first three blogs are rather long, I will review them and type out key words / key quotes, such that they are hopefully more "searchable" on the internet.

Above is the pdf file of my first blog.

And here goes a string of key words and quoteable quotes!
