Oblivion and then some…

“I was on acid and I looked at the trees and I realized that they all came to points, and the little branches came to points, and the houses came to point. I thought, ‘Oh! Everything has a point, and if it doesn’t, then there’s a point to it.'” — Harry Nilsson

An essay on Stray Couches

In this essay I will consider the social, economic and political factors of Stray Couches. Many an afternoon has been enjoyed by a family, bonding over the discussion of Stray Couches. While it is becoming a hot topic for debate, spasmodically it returns to create a new passion amongst those who study its history. The juxtapositioning of Stray Couches with fundamental economic, social and political strategic conflict draws criticism from socialists, who are yet to grow accustomed to its disombobulating nature. In the light of this I will break down the issues in order to give each of them the thought that they fully deserve

Social Factors

Society begins and ends with Stray Couches. The immortal and indispensable phrase ‘honesty is the best policy’ [1] must have been referning to Stray Couches. While the western world use a knife and fork, the Chinese use chopsticks. Of course Stray Couches demonstrates a coherent approach, something so lacking in our culture, that it is not recognised by all.

“Let you alone! That’s all very well, but how can I leave myself alone? We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is it since you were really bothered? About something important, about something real?”

giantsAnd so at last the beast fell and the unbelievers rejoiced. But all was not lost, for from the ash rose a great bird. The bird gazed down upon the unbelievers and cast fire and thunder upon them. For the beast had been reborn with its strength renewed, and the followers of Mammon cowered in horror.

from The Book of Mozilla, 7:15

No arms, no legs & makes a lot of people fall.

This would have been a really cool place to find a couch. I didn’t find one, but the pictures are worth sharing. If you’re in LA, and want to see a place really surreal and pretty much undiscovered by the popular masses, i say you head out to San Pedro. At the end of Pacific Ave is a parking lot, ignore the “No Trespassing” signs and walk through the hole in the fence and you are there. Or take Gaffee off the 110 exit until it ends at a park. Hop the wall and walk along the cliff to the left until you get there. You can’t miss it, if you do you most likely have fallen to your death. There are some ok tide pools at the bottom there.

New Year, New Life

Times are changing. straycouches.com isn’t literal anymore. It’s been symbolic for months, and due to some heavy reading and participation, it’s about action. I will continue to be the point of contact for images, especially stray couches.
