 "Non-Dominance"
can turn your life upside down...or worse!The trendy art-therapy exercise of learning to draw or paint with your non-dominant hand or your foot may sound like a harmless enough way to expand your creativity and stretch beyond your comfort zone, but it could just open a can of worms.

You're not a true hustle-dork* until you've mastered this easy method of power-talk for the 90s and beyond. * hustle-dork (hus-el-dork) n [coined by social commentator and self-described fool Ron Kaye]: a business geek or excellence freak, e.g., a person who (1) corners people at cocktail parties and babbles to them about some powerful new technology that will change their lives forever; and/or (2) performs the electronic equivalent of cornering people at cocktail parties, by sending faux-personal get-me-rich-quick spam-o-grams to every mail list on the Internet).

FARK is a visionary artist who lives in an enchanted garden in San Francisco. She hand-paints her underwear. She refuses to wear matching socks. She is a Virago with Arachne ascendant. She stays up all night and writes sonnets to her cats. She practices random acts of preciousness. Last year she married herself and this year she plans to marry a tree. Her dreams in life are to save the Earth and to free everybody's secret creative spirit by filling the planet with brightly-colored posters and T-shirts and notepaper and greeting cards and jewelry. Celebrate your own You-niqueness; join the thousands of non-conformists who have embraced the work of FARK.
Old stuff, new stuff, and stuff we're making up as we go along: An absurdist look at New-Age and personal-growth trends. Originally published in Skeptical Inquirer, Winter 1992, when Cosmic Relief was still in its formative stages. The scary thing is - even though the character "Trevor" is a composite, we've actually had all of the conversations that appear in the essay.

We didn't have Dilbert to help us survive when we were doing time in Corporate America, so we had to take our own potshots at the suits and their boundless stream of bidness babble. Though we've yet to realize the handsome profits and worldwide fame of Scott Adams, we did make wise use of the time we spent languishing on the lower rungs of the corporate ladder -- and some of what we learned has ended up in the pages of Cosmic Relief. We've made a sport of tracking enlightened trends in the workplace; e.g., "Soul and Spirit in the Workplace: New Way to Make Your Employees Think You Care," and "The One-Minute Mission Statement." Watch this link for brand new stuff that's not in the book. It's coming soon.
Thanks for the taste. Now tell me how I can get a copy of the book, Cosmic Relief. |
