THE RADIATION AROUND RADIATION NEWSLETTER 4/29/09:

my friend ed talked to me today about being powerless. his face was swollen, he had a black eye, and his hands had cuts scabbed over or open, bloody and sore. three guys jumped him downtown. recently homeless, he moved here from providence, rhode island to get away from 'bad men' and 'evil family.' he left to 'save' his wife and son because he was scared for their lives. i see him around town everyday and we stop and chat and often have a lot to share with each other. he's a very animated person, and on top of that he's a beautifully clear thinking person who loves civil disobedience. we talk about our discontent with the police of gainesville, oppressive geography and design of society, and miscommunication. ed's never afraid to talk to people. i like ed.

my friend gustavo talked to me today about printing out more poems for wall attack #4. he sent me the poems through e-mail and they look really good. he wrote a few, our friend rilly wrote one, and i wrote one. rilly found these clip art images of a person, a house, and a tree making funny faces. i like these two people because they're not afraid to challenge the streets and put things up on the walls, and they tell me stories about their experiences doing it and how much fun they had running up hills with a piece of paper, glue dripping on their shoes, about to paste a piece of poetry onto the side of a abandoned building. and they inspire me to do funny things myself, like write poetry and put poems up on walls, and challenge 'artists' who 'completely disagree' with our practices and call it self-promotion despite the ritual of vandalism as self-sacrifice. in our society we are at risk for expressing ourselves with the idea of feeling 'completely liberated.' i value their ideas and the way they think, and most of all the way they act, their motions and words amaze me.
