We are child-friendly. We are happy-go-lucky with imagery. We cast shadows with our whale-sized signs. We, the future, can see through. Like a two-way mirror. But the illiterate will be disappointed with this post. To soothe their minds, the future will bring them candy.

The Texas Firehouse keeps its climate in accordance to southeast Texas law. Walking in is like walking home. You will find deadly frequencies amplified to reach the smog; only the strongest survive to become one with Devaru. Discotejas/Discotexas will celebrate with works of fire thursday and friday.

I worked in a pet shop, where we sold animals and supplies to owners of animals. It worked out. One goldfish got really weird about being as deprived of meaning as it was. Anthropocentric, but illustration is hard? for me! It acted like other goldfish; it just died sooner. This goldfish and I have practically nothing in common (though I will die sooner than I’m buried…probably…so we have a word). Too many changes for this fella, I think. None of them probably that different. This is a pet shop goldfish. But they are different. Difference is alright for goldfish it seems. None of them seem offput if I feed them in patterns of pentagrams or caribou or other things I think about a lot when I feed golden fish. But if I take away what makes things strange or different, their whole context (like when I put a half cup of l s d in their soil or make them take bergman seriously) most of them don’t do a hot damn thing. This goldy fish, though, really flippered into lala . All to not do it. Ignoring devaru-chakras, it didn’t even happen. Our [you better take responsibility for this pal by now!] gfishy went all shiny happy flower rythm and just tuckered all out. Still though, GOLD fish make so little energy. our frIEnd really fucked the system.

I composed a song about it; the song went like this, and you can get a wax cylinder recording from iTunes’s store.

“I’ll grant you a wish

to be a fish

I’m adick adickted toDickCheney

For you

It’s the most I’ll ever do for you”
(After dICk Chaiiieeekkkny sent us this little anecdote he was fired for torturing people (this Pet Shop does not encourage ‘intensive interrogations) so he stopped selling dead dinosaurs and moved to selling happiness. What a killer!)

Questions of Devaru: An interview in essay form

Posted in Devaru with tags , , on June 10, 2008 by discotejasdiscotexas

A while back, lost in the fallow fields out behind discotejas/discotexas we had the pleasure of turning devaru over several times in the soil and getting some pretty stimulating answers

Q: ?!

Devaru: If a western person complained of the hurt caused them by the clearing of a forest, an audience of peers might either consider the speaker very abnormal or reason that the forest played some important role in the individual’s life. The possibility that feelings might penetrate the boundaries of the individual or that the forest has value in its own right might more readily come to mind in an animistic group of listeners. Devaru pervade discotejas/discotexas, and are realized as special relationships between things. One key to understanding animism is a loosening of the western conception of the individual. In the Ojibwa, Nayaka, and discotejas/discotexas myths, a person exists through relationships with the environment.

Devaru: When one performs a devaru, the relationship they present is more important than a rigid mythical heroic individual. In fact, without an audience, the devaru leaves; it cannot possess a single person, only an interaction. This notion stands in sharp contrast to western notions not only of spirits, but also of the way in which people and their environments may interact. The secular individualist myth limits experience of interconnectedness in favor of bolstering the perceived control, often exercised aggressively, of people over themselves and their environment.

Devaru: Dreams are often either perceived as pure nonsense or as indicators of hidden internal conflicts, preoccupations, or wishes. The Senoi of Malaysia, however, believe that one must learn to behave properly in dreams in order to interact successfully with the spirits who visit humans in them. This reality functions very differently from waking reality, but one’s actions and experiences within it are as important, and sometimes more so, than those in waking life.
