Nutopia, a song by Meg Lee Chin

Jesus said " Lay down your arms, Jesus said "Children come home"

I saw the best minds of my generation running on empty, Superglued to the T.V.,

Dreaming of prosperity, Talking incessantly, Saying nothing

Sleeping on platforms at train stations, Sipping chemical cocktails,

Alive to the Universe, Dead to the World.

Hallucinating delusions of media reality in Camden Town, Desperate in the pursuit of cool

He's in a suit, she's in a straight jacket, 7-11 nightmares at 3am and the moon is quiet and holy.

Watch all the bridges collide, Well I think we might have to lay low, for a while

I saw the best minds of my generation caught up in the virtual reality of living

Memorizing pin numbers and secret codes,

Swaying robotically to non-existant rhythms, Flashing memberships to clubs so exclusive nobody belongs,

Jesus said " Lay down your arms" Jesus said "Children come home"

Scared shitless, witless, clueless, useless, tightlipped, tightfisted,tightassed, half-assed

Sniveling, groveling, moaning, groaning Sniveling, groveling, moaning, groaning sniveling, groveling, sniveling, groveling

The city's all wrapped up in plastic like an electronic cocoon.

If you lay in the street you can hear it humming, Building up slowly from underground

If you close your eyes you can observe the blueprint The man-made dna that spirals breathlessly out of control,

As synapses collapse, bridges snap, into a restless utopia, Nutopia

Now the rain has arrived and I think we might have to lay low

Watch all the bridges collide and I think we might have to lay low.

here it is

Peter Singer
building: big yellow one on corner of Lexington and Ashland, the one with the Co-op inside it's like 220 Lexington and 295 Ashland or something like that...he owns the entire building
his "company" (which is bogus, by the way) is Semper L.L.C.
the phone number for his apartments right now is: 603-0001 but it has changed from before
the ad for his apartments in the artvoice reads:
LEXINGTON/Ashland. Gorgeous, renovated 1 & 2 bdrm apts, hdwd flrs, ceiling fans $600-$800 includes heat and HW 603-0001

i hope this helps other people

dyke march

i saw some Christian protestors at the end of the march. i wanted to yell at them but i didn't. i suppose they are allowed to have a voice too...even if it is a judgemental one.

response to Paul's message on 6-5

Yeah, we "won" our money at court, but we have been going through the process of actually getting our money back for months. The account where he put our money has been closed, so the Marshall's couldn't get it out of there. I want to post his name and information, but I'm worried that it's illegal or something. I will think about it. For now I will just say, it's the big yellow building on the corner of Lexington and Ashland.

pics of the shithole

yay! i finally scanned the pics of the shithole where i used to live! i shouldn't be excited about that...lol...for more information, see my first post. a question about the rules: is it illegal slander if i say the name and information of the guy i rented from? i wouldn't be saying anything that wasn't true...i would just want others to stay away from him. here they are...

three people's stuff crammed into a one bedroom apartment:

we think this is where the sink and mirror/medicine cabinet were supposed to be:

the toilet which didn't work and ended up being full of poop, and the wall, or what was supposed to be a wall:

a shower?:

the dirtiest fridge in creation:

the freezer...we're still not sure what the wet liquidy green stuff is:

one of three holey walls in the bedroom, one wall was missing completely:

i have a bunch more pics if anyone wants to see them.

pictures 3

this is the living room...very nice:

medium bedroom:

pantry:

this place is so great, but we never got to live in it because the guy we "rented" from took advantage of us. he took our money and let some other people live in that apartment and never let us move in, even though that is the apartment we signed the lease for. i need to scan the other pictures of where we actually lived for a month. it's too bad we had to move...don't make the same mistake we did. there are places around here that are just that nice and even better, for cheaper.

a word to the unwise

Just a note: NEVER RENT AN APARTMENT FROM A USED CAR SALESMAN!!! There's an awesome building on Lexington, the one the Co-op is in. The apartments are sweet, but the guy who owns them screwed us over. We payed him $1800 and then when we showed up to move in, he stuck three of us in two one bedroom apartments, one of which didn't even have a working shower or toilet. As much as anyone might want to live in this building, don't do it, you will get screwed. We had to take this guy to court and it sucked.
