“America is a giant hologram, in the sense that information concerning the whole is contained in each of its elements. Take the tiniest little place in the desert, any old street in a Midwestern town, a parking lot, a California house, a Burger King or a Studebaker, and you have the whole of the US — South, North, East, or West.”
— Jean Baudrillard, America
QOL: beauty, meaning and truth

Fast Food Blogging?

Fast Food Blogging is a one-man project to capture and share as much relevant material on the "Qualities of Life" as possible. I incorporate the concept of fast food by trying to keep things quick and easy. If a post is longer than one-fourth of a page, it will be marked--- (Warning: Restaurant Post). To learn more, click on the "About," "Qualities of Life," "One More Scene," "The List," and "FFRs" pages above.
