Staying the Hobbyist

Posted on October 3rd, 2025 by Joseph A. Hazani

When to discover that the certainty of future, predestined, probabilities of error, or problem, occurs to capture undivided attention when the fate is physically, actually experienced? To focus on selling?   When to discover you need to be talking about your product. Like an average human. Like normal people I mean. #heh   When is […]

Uhgg

Ocean views ought to be valued higher than city views. It’s the right thing.   It’s taken me a bit of back and forthing. Why?    Natural beauty? Or judgment upon man’s soul?   Like yikes! But to evaluate cosmic order? On the whole? Which is less damaged? More scenic?    

‘Ted’ And Wittgenstein

Posted on August 9th, 2025 by Joseph A. Hazani

        Philosophy boils down to how to make humans move themselves – act – better.    You know when your shoe laces are tied right? So you have a standard of good.    Get passed jibber-jabber and following a dead conversation.    That’s the Tao Te Ching in a line.   You’ve […]

Avoiding the Homer-Mobile

Posted on July 30th, 2025 by Joseph A. Hazani

Design-risk.   What’s that even mean?    The abstraction of a probable good for other to partake in – benefit from – has a confrontation with the reality that there are blind spots in your head.    There always will be.   Plans combust.    Like, incinerate. Like get discarded and trashed and thrown away […]

The Gnomery of Silicon Valley

Posted on July 26th, 2025 by Joseph A. Hazani

It’s not about appearances. That’s what I can tell you.    People do not flock to Northern California – technically the San Francisco Bay Area – for worldly appearances of looking best.    Fashion shows and runways are for else.   This is the residual of the drop-out hippie, of the alt-rock, of the motivational […]

“Give me liberty, or give me death!”

Posted on October 9th, 2022 by Joseph A. Hazani

In a continual debasement of the Western Fine Arts tradition, Contemporary Art Museum Chicago had the efficacious demonstration of the affirmation of death: Illiteracy.                              

The Opportunity to Fail

Posted on June 8th, 2018 by Joseph A. Hazani

This past month there have been two exemplary instances of catastrophic embarrassments in professional sports. The first (of two in the game) came from goal keeper Karius of Liverpool FC: What a mistake from Karius as his throw gets blocked by Benzema and ends up in the back of the net! pic.twitter.com/F5KsQ8ts1Y — FOX Soccer […]

Boy was I off

Posted on January 19th, 2018 by Joseph A. Hazani

I threw my hat into the ring that Amazon would choose Las Vegas for their second headquarters. My hat was blown away, flown into a wood chipper, minced and then incinerated into burnt ash which the wind mockingly blew away again.   It’s down to 20 cities and not one of them is in Nevada. I […]

“Sometimes where you are is where you need to be”

Posted on January 12th, 2018 by Joseph A. Hazani

Happy New Year!   I invoked the title yesterday while my car was blockaded by a FedEx truck after having completed a successful business appointment. I was feeling anxious to leave, feeling trapped, but why? “Sometimes,” as I told my associate who felt the same impediment, “where you are is where you need to be.” […]
