It's not really a horror story. I recommend reading it in full before judging it.

My play will be done before April 20th, when I will send it for consideration in a play competition. Afterwards, I have another two more plays planned.<br /><br />I am taking my time editing, reading, and so forth. I can't rush it, but there is a deadline now (April 23rd, if I remember correctly). It's a 120 pages now, and I have spent 150-200 hrs on it and have done tremendous research and reading, as I am still doing. I have people to help edit it before the due date.<br /><br />I don't agree with everything Andrew says, but I agree with him on the essential points. I've mentioned those essential points elsewhere.<br /><br />Honestly, I think you would benefit greatly from reading Robert Aickman, Zakaj. It would shatter your sense of security, your sense of foundation. Read "The Hospice" by Aickman. Then consider that all organized religions are like the hospice in Aickman's story.Zephyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10057761733310813859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6701454427705864554.post-62771400397271190772016-03-01T14:24:38.848-08:002016-03-01T14:24:38.848-08:00" Poetry cannot do that for you, you have to ..."

I don't even remember writing it well... I forbid myself alcohol but one day my wife enticed me, tempted me and I fell for the bait.

They have a strong community but are afraid of solitude and being alone; they do not value their individuality apart from the community and cannot think apart from it. When something threatens to destabilize their preconception, they resort to a kind of "Big Other", wherein they share (amongst each other) key jokes, degenerate music, and etc. as a way to solidify their network or community. They are totally enamoured by the drama of the game show, afraid of being alone and exploring the phantasmagorical inner world. <br /><br />Now compare Wes Anderson's movies to Lars von Trier. Lars von Trier shows insufficiency in being one with the crowd, in making one's views aligned with the crowd. He shows depth in the individual character, in being alone by the river, lying and staring at the moon, dreaming worlds of one's own. This solipsism scares those dumbasses on Brad's blog. This deconstruction scares them, so they babble endlessly about thinking they know it, rather than letting the solitude of the crepuscular moon wash over their delusions.<br /><br />This place is like Lars von Trier's films whereas Brad's shit blog is Wes Anderson. In here I feel constantly deconstructed, as if in a dream, my own thoughts flowing into me, creating new worlds from the dust of the old. I fly like an opulent angel to worlds of indescribable colors, alone, here, for the crowd is but a fancy of delirium.

I was just staring at my white piece of paper. After 30 or so minutes, he showed me his paper and I said: it's beautiful. He proceeded to ask me why I hadn't drawn anything. I replied - pointing at everything around us - "Isn't all of this - a painting, my painting?" - He was disappointed ... and with good reason, I must say.

Sign into the undernet server and go the room #bookz.<br /><br />You can get so much stuff that way. I downloaded Bukowski, pillow book of sei shonagon, and SOO much more. I use the Firefox reader to read most of the ebooks and it is awesome. I prefer ebook format, but html is fine too. word format is not that good because some word processing software can mess with it, so stick to ebooks and html when downloading.<br /><br />basically you do @search xxx to see if they have what you want. The bots send a text document showing what they have, and then you decide which one you want and type it all out and download from other bots or people. 80-90 percent of what i wanted was on thereZephyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10057761733310813859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6701454427705864554.post-51993779856893578502016-02-14T00:41:38.389-08:002016-02-14T00:41:38.389-08:00
