Me Tarzan: You Money



"I hypothesize that when you’ve attained enough money that it becomes as disposable as a Kleenex, one can assert that one doesn’t need the money to be happy. Sad that one could not realize this seasons before." - The Hutchings Hypothesis


There is a social experiment I intend to perform (and film of course). I am going to walk into a prominent supermarket, fill up my cart with roughly $1500 worth in groceries then, as I stand before the register, exclaim to the cashier – “Love”.

When she asks for money I shall tell her, “Love”.
When she looks at me with that asinine expression all members of the service industry have, I shall once again inform her of my position – “It’s not about the money, it’s about love”. And as the security flings me out on my ear, I shall exclaim, “Where’s the love ya’ll?”

I grow weary of the aberration. Not love in its true sense, but the stupidity that is now marketed by the people whose mp3s we steal. This stupidity, this blind construct is packaged and fed to the masses who exclaim, that they “just want to make the world dance (it’s not about the money)” or my personal favorite – the logic that states that while “some people want it all, I don’t want nothing at all, if it ain’t you baby”. Mind you, every one of these artistes possesses a thriving bank account with shards of material things to spare but I suspect the truly wealthy can feed off of love. And I understand the material is not the end, I’m a Theist, but let’s be practical.

I also assert that I am a heavy romantic and such like but please have the accompanying funds to tangibly express that love. I personally have an issue with going out to lime with friends or worse a potential love interest without having a comfortable cash amount in my Green Lantern wallet. But that’s just a hang-up I am slowly working through. This is not to say I am ABOVE friends sponsoring friends and please Gender Studies, don’t take this the wrong way either. But I simply do not understand how you humans can – in this day – still hold dear to the impractical side that Love = Poverty; that money is merely an incidental. Money is a powerful tool. It is one thing to say “I’m on a budget” because you are saving for a goal, it is another thing to say “ah broke today yes” because you simply are. When I was little I realized that love is stocks and bonds and mutual funds and credit cards because with these things, you can not only TELL your lover of your affection but bloody well SHOW that affection. The delusion packaged, mass marketed and downloaded by wealthy artistes must not be the order of the worked up class because Love [after all] must be tangible.

    I agree with you on the irony of the wealthy artistes. :)

    On the other hand, I hold the view that money is a necessity in this material world, but it's not love.

    "for richer or poorer"

Me Tarzan. You Preacher Politics

                                  Valley of Decision by Christafari. Appropriate me thinks. On the night before the American election, while walking towards the taxi-stand, I became depressed by religion in politics. Actually, I became depressed by the thought of RACE in RELIGION but since that flowed into the political stream, one can say that I was sorely depressed all the way around. Here’s why: A prominent “Father of the Faith” so to speak, sat down with Mitt Romney. Now, tradition has shown that he’s the kind of guy that Presidents and Presidential hopefuls go to at some point in their careers, so it should come as no surprise that Master Mitt and the “Father” wold meet. It is said, that after meeting with him, though he didn’t give an all out public endorsement as other members of his family seem to have, he did advise the [Christian] public to vote according to Biblical Views/Beliefs....

Me Tarzan. You Christian Community

I got a question for the Christians of America and by extension, the world: Since when is Satan more innocuous than gay people? I know why you voted Trump. I know why you like Pence. I know why you voted Republican in the face of a woman who, (yes she might seem like a hawk), had the ability to be swayed for the good of your county. I know why: you wanted to restore what – in your mind is – good, strong Christian Conservative Values to America. Whatever that means. I add that last part in because you (American Theists) also believe things like – it’s okay to carry around as many guns as you like (it's your God-Given and constitutional right) or that climate change isn’t really that much of a thing. It’s like Tina Fey said in one of her Sarah Palin skits, “It’s just God hugging us closer.” Which I USED to chuckle about but honestly… given how you vote… I guess some of you think that too. Of course, the reality is, Christians (like most religions) believe in the end of d...

Me Tarzan. You List

--> I’ve been listening to SKYFALL since the radio edit dropped on Thursday. It tore through me indeed. But somewhere around Friday evening [maybe earlier], I realised that while most people were loving the song for it’s Adele/Bond value, for me it was an actual plea to Heaven. "Please, let the sky fall already." I had had enough. I wrote a short piece for my [name: classified] project and while doing so, I asked myself, “what would it take to make you happy?”. I wrote it on my phone.. Here now is the list. What would it take to make you happy? 1.               ACTUALLY seeing God I remember, the days leading up to the surgery thinking, what would happen if i went under and had some kind of Divine Visitation? What then? If I sat down to it, I can almost rationalise every faith experience. Almost. I think about how many times I was supposed to be dead - literally - and I think, it had to be God. Of ...
