Human nature VS. nature and the nature of reality.

Day 2 of #edgarandrolandsfebvinylchallenge by @harma808 is One Last Ride, which today puts me in mind of Leonard Cohen’s final album before his death. He was very conscious of this being his last album—the “hineni hineni, I’m ready my lord” on the title track oozes a kind of peace and acceptance we can all hope to reach someday. #leonardcohen #vinyl #vinyladay #lp #vinyloftheday #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #vinylcommunity #vinylcollective #instavinyl #vinylgram #recordcollector #nowspinning https://www.instagram.com/p/CoLilfqOL26/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

BEAUTIFUL LOSERS

I'm reading Leonard Cohen's Beautiful Losers, 

Before I even started, I read somewhere that back in the day, the good old 60's, the novel was very much regarded as controversial, mainly for its explicitely sexual content. I can't say I'm a fan of such literature myself, but knowing Cohen's aesthetic - in my eyes a monk wearing worn out adidas shoes who tries his best to catch a glimpse of woman's panties in order to be able to go to church and confess his sins - I genuinely couldn't help myself and had to get a copy of my own. 

I'm not yet done with it but so many thoughts keep invading me as I progress towards the end of the novel. What a masterpiece, truly. At the beginning, it felt more like every other short story by Bukowski - the dirt, the vulgar scenes, the civil poetry of any other instinct driven, low, human being. The only thing missing was an excessive amount of alcohol, drugs and prostitutes and at certain point I was more or less sure it would come eventually.

Oh boy, how wrong I was. It's been a while since any book captivated me so much. Despite (and I keep thinking whether despite is even the right word to use, honestly) its prominently sexual nature, the beautiful poetry laying underneath is nothing short of striking. Hm, perhaps the best metaphore that summarizes Cohen's poetry to me is kintsugi (=japanese art, maybe rather an approach to art, in which broken things are again mended together in order to be perceived beautiful once more, not despite its obvious flaws but even with them).

He breaks it down for you and then serves it in a very particular fashion, makes you cringe a little, smile a little, think a little. It just doesn't cease to amaze me how amazingly abstract and yet completely tangible the whole novel feels.

And oh my goodness, excuse my babbling, but it's so hard to organise my thoughts sometimes, which is exactly the reason why I need this blog.

Anyway, the longer you read, the more you realise that sex in the novel isn't necessarily about sex itself, but rather a symbol of despair (merely my interpretation really). Cohen shows you what's left of a person once he dives in the bottomless pit of his own painful existence. Perhaps, within the context of the novel, it could be read as a memento? What makes me question that is the fact, that erotic aspect shows up more and more as you progress, as the protagonist progresses himself. 

I guess I'll add more thoughts on this once I'm done reading it, I'm not so far from finish. I'll also need to write a bit about Cohen's poetry later, lot of thoughts on that too.

Day 25: Skeptical.

That’s the problem. You can’t tell who your enemies are.

A MODERN WORLD THROUGH ANCIENT EYES

Just a little critique on the unique experience of the human condition, and how a lot of our modern day stresses, anxieties, and problems can arise from the fact that our brains, our perceptions, emotions, and instincts all evolved to aid us in our survival hundreds of thousands of years ago in very tribal settings. Also even further back to our ancient ancestor's evolution on the Serengeti plains. These same ancient brains are now trying to make sense of a vastly different and rapidly changing modern world around us. I juxtaposed an ancient Sumerian cuneiform tablet ( The earliest known writing system) and stone statue "goggles," with a computer circuit board to try and illustrate this. I'm telling you folks, I AM SO DEEP.

In Montreal, the legacy of ‘patron saint’ Leonard Cohen looms larger than in life.

I think my Revolut is disappointed in me. Keeps sending me these messages, reminders, directives and offers. I mustn’t be Revoluting fast enough, or often enough, maybe? The Revolut people haven’t actually said they’re disappointed — I mean, I’m not paranoid, or anything —  but you just kind off know when your app is not pleased with you, don’t you? Okay, the Revoluting starts right…
