You brought up 'staying in school' I'm so old now I almost forgot that word "school". I am never intending to go back (to school) unless they give me tenure as a professor of advanced space Physics:

The Science of Nothing by Lex Loeb

I came to call higher education "Accadamnation" . You stay in school and you will understand the term in due time unless you enjoy the politics of everyday education as well as the petty rituals.

Talking about being a very much unliked person...I'm better at it than you are. I know how to lose friends and irritate my enemies. I should write the book on the subject. I'm sort of a better artist than most of my peers. At least I know what subject mater is and have some sense of style. The stuff getting the biggest push in local galleries might be more interesting if most of those so called artists used mud and a few feathers instead of paint. I don't mind telling them their work stinks and instantly they hate me. Even worse I like the provoke the buyers of that crap. I call the dealers Con artists that sell that crap for several thousand bucks and term their buyers as their marks.

Garbage is garbage.

I am one of the first Bad Art Artists, trash art artists and con-art artists around. My new business card coming out is called "stupid". Write me back and I will send some after they are printed soon.

I think the stupid business card is hillarious...so is the flakey one that is also getting printed. Even the word is mispelled...it could have been flaky but that would not be as flakey. Also coming is the fake business card. One of my favs...

Some day I will be the most famous artist who ever lived in Portland but I won't be living in this cess pool any more...I will probably be in some bigger cess pool city somewhere else or Emperor of the Penguins in Patagonia!

You see I'm a true genius and I am not ashamed to say it.

And why not? No one is going to take me seriously in this regard anyway. Genius really is a Curse. You probably know what I mean if you are one too.

Otherwise you are completely stupid and you should spend more time afield following the sheep.

Yes the sheep are better at their heard instinct than humans and that's why so many humans should spend more time studing sheep behavior in graduate schools.

I'm not saying that humans have to develop a heard instinct because they already have it.

I was in Europe years ago and noticed how strange it was that english speaking tourists, in hostiles would spend most of their vacation time sitting and socializing or reading books in the crumy lobby there...they would not even go out for a walk. I could not understand it. Then a guy I knew went and told me how he spent most of the time in Europe doing just that. Amazing! All they want to do is flock around.

Over the years you learn what motivates people...sex, food , fear and greed. That's why it pays to be the mass media. Human populations seek some stimulous any stimulous to go out and do something, anything besides watching television.

There fore it does not take much to be true genius after all. But since I was once Vishnu's nephew I really am quite a bit higher on the genius plane than most.

You said "the void does not exist" in your letter. You thought that was cute. But it's true. Go to my science of nothing website listed above and see. That basic math says that you are correct 0+0=0=0x0 and since 1x1=1 (I forgot this in the website) 1x0=0.

Now I am a genius, as you can see, because what I say in the above equation is necessarily always true: There is but one Nothing in the entire universe. What that means is that NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN AN ABSOLUTE VACUUM (SPACE) YOU ARE ESSENTIALLY EVERYWHERE.

Talk about instanteous travel! This is the proof that it is really possible and that its not TIME DEPENDENT. Because SAY YOU ARE IN EMPTY SPACE, a pure vacuum, you have NO metric to measure distance or time. When you are in space without metrics you cannot travel because you are already everywhere.

It's that simple.

I'M not a believer in the big bang theory but this theory is way more concise and pefect in it's mathmatic proof than that mythology. Now assuming all of the universe flew out of a big bang explosion at the beginning of time...and before that there was no space...well thats insane. because the equations above say 1x0=0 NOT 1. The big bang thesis would work if Einstein's cosmological constant were fuctional and if 1x0=0.

Publish this in your zine please. The entire word needs to know the obvious. I don't need to prove my genius.

In around 500 years my radiometer proof that gravity is thermodyamic will make me as famous as Sir Issac Newton...it's only a mater of time.

Think of your saying you feel sorry for yourself because you hope for an apocalypse "appearing in the face of nothing"...and that means you are traveling faster than time and space and you are anywhere you choose in the universe according to my new theory.

I would say my theory is bunk but it dawned on me after I first thought of it that maybe I am really serious here. So I keep thinking about the theory potential to prove it self true. Maybe someday I will be famous for this too?

You see I am ambitions but I also don't care what anyone thinks.

I also have no secrets. Only real politicians do and that's because they are liars. Only celebrity secrets mater anyway. See people magazine. Im a fake celebrity, as the Church of Elvis lady was once my mentor.

The only real reason for celebrity is to be rich. The famous part is all about being in the business of making a living in celebrity.

Some day I intend to go to Lost Angeles and take up making myself into a super fake celebrity...it wont be easy...since I have no holywood talents...

Oh and it could be worse...you could be living in my mother's house as opposed to yours. Ever been sacrificed on an altar by a parent? That's where the tribes of Isreal and Islam begin their social tribe chapters...fortunately I escaped and they sacrificed Spot our dog instead.

The christians switched to using a lamb.... I wrote that up as a story in college and I nearly got kicked out of school.

My parents wanted to sacrifice me to the God of PHd, I flunked out, and now my dog is a full professor of English Literature at the UCSD.

I inherited half a billion dollars when my grandmother died and I blew it all in just six years, now I need to get a job to pay for the mortage of my 89 room homes in various places. I went into the Jack in the Box and they told me, Mr. Lex Loeb, XVII we are sorry. You are over qualified and under qualifeid for the job.

So I next went to see if I could get a CIA job from the local office of the state department. I passed the civil sevice exams but they wanted to deploy me in France, and there is already a warrent out for me in France from the last time I was there so I had to refuse the offer.

So I called my old friend Barabara Striesand and asked if she could help me find a job and she said, "You jerk, I wanted to be ambasador to France but Al Goar (that idiot) ruined it for me--I have a friend who has a job opening."

She sent me up here to Portland and I got a job as a mail room clerk in an insurance company. I lost all but 7 of my homes but I could get them back if my enron stock comes back from the dead. It could happen.

Maybe I should have stayed in school...."
