It started out one night, like so many others, we were getting into it. He had his hands on the prize, my beautiful feet. He had one in each of his big hands. He lapped away at the soles, one after the other. He had such a rhythm going it was so awesome, I thought I was going to cum right then and there, just from his licking. Lick, lick, lick, like a great big puppy dog onto my hungry feet so in need of his nourishment. And then, just then, the guy has to break the mood. "You know, babe, we should do a video."

Random Nation Part Two
So what do we call ourselves this time? "The YouTube Generation" sounds about right. WIRED, in it's current cover story, comes close to saying, "The Bite-Sized Generation." I am still holding onto calling these times, "The Random Generation" or use the term, "Random Nation."
From the mailbag, I got this recent post that I'll go ahead and quote from. It's in response to my post, "Open Toes, The Beauty of it All!":
Talk about overcomplicating. Indeed, it is a pop song of the Nelly type, who has a similar poppy song devoted to open toeds, targeted at the -just wanna have fun- teen to 30 something female, and anyone who likes feet really. It should be known by now after countless mentioning of feet surrounding Mcphee, she loves them. I saw her on Tyra Bank's show and Trya (Chingy's foot girl) took off her shoes for some reason and showed them to Mcphee, then she said "you have pretty feet". Right then I noticed her eyes alone immediately turned to the crowd as her head followed in the same way when someone says something and they are unsure how or if they will be judged or also when ego is checking if relation is apparent, kind of like when someone lies but thats just because the crowd was directly to her right side. Well her expression was cheekier than usual and to me thats enough proof. I hear Tyra is pregnant and due, also think its Chingy's, also think they only hooked up because of her feet, now isnt that a stupid reason to bring a kid into this world
Well, this won't be the first time we have a child born from excess.
We live in an ultra-narcissistic age.
Reality and fantasy collide at more rapid intervals.
Here is where I think a discussion of Hyperreality would prove useful. And, if you're going to go to Baudrillard, then you must go to McLuhan as well. I haven't gotten any takers on views regarding Marshall McLuhan yet. I'm just wondering if people are familiar with him at all given that he once was truly a household name.
Here is where I think the foot becomes a far more interesting symbol. It can represent excess. But it can also represent a coming back to reality in a spiritual and grounded sense. If you think of the '60s, for instance, you can clearly see the foot back then as a symbol of the age: excess commingling with spirituality.

Random Nation
For some reason, this video seems to say a lot about our times.
Everything just a little too fast and out of sync and sort of spooky.
It makes perfect sense that the word "random" is used as it is right now. You know, as in, "Hey, I ran into this old friend of mine, how random!" Or "Wow, I'm into that song too, how random!" It sounds cute. And it sounds annoying too. Is it the perfect one-word discription of our post-postmodern world? Is it a little cry for help from Generation Y?
We are so bombarded by text, images, video. We keep finding ways to increase the stimulation.
What happens to all our stories? All our traditions? All our ways of life? Luckily, we don't all have to follow some herd mentality, some greek row concept of hyper-shallow sex, a desire for everything to be neatly packaged, a need for blinders to shut out the world. We can step out into the fresh air. We can think for ourselves. We can take control of our lives.
You know, if I had to steer to just one particular course, I wouldn't head towards more of a wank fest but more to a wonk fest. I'll keep stirring things up and, with a little help from my friends, I will continue to explore these choppy waters. Keep in mind, I am very sexual but I am also very much a person of the mind. Those of you who have been patiently following my progress, already know that.
Any of you familiar with Marshall McLuhan? I'm thinking a lot of people are no longer aware of him and his writing. If he were still with us, I'd love to hear his take on things today. He was already spot on to what is going on back in the '60s. Things now, in many ways, are just starting to catch up with his views and some things might surprise him. He predicted, if we weren't careful, we could be swallowed up whole my this media-drenched three ring circus.
How random!
