It’s all surface
November 26th, 2006Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril. (Oscar Wilde)
Even if it sounds like facts it’s still stories.
Of course, true facts always surface.
Because, lies are anything but surface.

Sense with facts
October 28th, 2006Stop Making Sense, one of my favorite self-contradictory principles, is also the title of a wonderful video of Talking Heads‘ Stop Making Sense tour in 1983.
Since Ratta reminded us of who we are to do what we do as long as we do (make sense) I’d like to remind myself of the fact that I intended to confront my blog with some more posts about facts (as if this were possible). So, introductory, here is a list of facts about facts taken from lyrics of the video Stop Making Sense:
- Facts are never what they seem to be.
- Facts cut a hole in us.
- Facts are useless in emergencies.
- Facts are simple and facts are straight.
- Facts are lazy and facts are late.
- Facts all come with points of view.
- Facts don’t do what I want them to.
- Facts just twist the truth around.
- Facts are living turned inside out.
- Facts are getting the best of it.
- Facts are nothing on the face of things.
- Facts continue to change their shape.
- Facts don’t stain the furniture.
- Facts go out and slam the door.
- Facts are written all over your face.
