Henry Miller's 11 commandments for writing (that Tommi doesn't live by). Work on one thing at a time until finished. (Too many things in head.) Start no more new books, add no more new material to ‘Black Spring.’ (When working on novel thinking about a play.) Don’t be nervous. Work calmly, joyously, recklessly on whatever is in hand. … Continue reading Henry Miller's 11 (With Comments)

Killer Privilege
Ah. Another shooting. Another shooting by some kid so doped-up that it's time to close the blinds, pull down the shades, staple the eyelids shut. For this one might just be scarier than the last one. The last shooting, that is. Or wait. This new one only killed seven...or is it six? Wait. The … Continue reading Killer Privilege
Better Left Unsaid?
There are two things about the Borg... Sorry. There are two things about the Germanins that scares the beejeezus out of me. The first thing is the bureaucracy (of this my adopted home). The second is the politics that feeds that bureaucracy. Worst-writer learned quickly upon moving abroad how nations act not unlike individuals. That is, nations reflect … Continue reading Better Left Unsaid?
Confused Success
As a locked-in take-my-money Apple slave (not to demean the real slaves putting these devices together), I have no fear in the following claim: there is love to be found for Microsoft's Surface. Last year, with my 2010 MacBookPro reaching it's limits, I had to make a decision. First, even though a new MacBookAir was in the plan, I … Continue reading Confused Success
Worst Issue #58
Dear worst-reader, here another exchange, like this one, where opposing points of view are exposed. Good luck. Friend wrote: Dude, check out this link. This is not a mistake. I would bet the oil companies in the US are backdoor funding radical groups who oppose the Keystone pipeline. Some refiners invested heavily to process the … Continue reading Worst Issue #58
Crazy Elvis vs Edward Snowden
While most ask what would Jesus do, worst-writer asks: what would Elvis do? In the case of Edward Snowden I'm seriously confused about what to do. When the news about Snowden's leak first hit and I was able to wrap my head around it, I thought: where's the info? Seriously. Wikileaks was still all over the … Continue reading Crazy Elvis vs Edward Snowden
Collective Fraud = New Worldcup Flatscreens
Read an article this morn that set me off, dear worst-reader. Good luck with this one. The worldcup is coming and so too the NEED for a new TV. Indeed. But there's one problem. No one can afford a new TV. Germania is broke. What? You don't believe worst-writer that Germania is broke? Why? Because … Continue reading Collective Fraud = New Worldcup Flatscreens
Worst Question #287
Dear WorstWriter, It seems as if the move in corporate america is to host clouds that do NOT access / use the public internet. I would say all the technology that has made the internet what it is means it is time to employ this technology "off internet" for the future movement of data. Leave … Continue reading Worst Question #287
Laugh It Off
Why I indirectly use Facebook and other FB wannabees. For me, FB first caught my attention because of all the share links available on whatever website I was reading. Those buttons were initially a great way to manage bookmarks as up to that point I had been using Delicious, which is cumbersome and monotonous. Share buttons have subsequently been replaced … Continue reading Laugh It Off
8 Sails 50 Cannons
http://youtu.be/lzw-CEljje0 Something to rid us of the grime and monotony this morn, dear worst-reader. It's raining, as usual. The Eurowasteland sky is just above my head. Nomatter. Since I can't leave this wasteland I find these little my-noot video passages to break up the pain of my fingers from typing on chicklet keyboards galore. … Continue reading 8 Sails 50 Cannons
Automaton vs Parasite
Today, dear worst-reader, let's have a moment to converse in California west cost language: This is so gnarly, dude ... surfs up ... (nuff of that.) You know, there was a time when posting pamphlets on doors reformed things. But I exaggerate. Nomatter. The video above is NOT about google or tech companies. Hell, this worst-post … Continue reading Automaton vs Parasite
Prank The Automaton
http://youtu.be/EyaZlt-Xr_A Activist group The Yes Men nail it again. These guys are so awesome they're beyond funny. Seriously. It's as though funny starts at a certain point with them and 180 degrees later it's still funny but then again it's not. Dark humour? Dark Parody? Dark... You know what I worst-mean. But then again. Wait. Nomatter. Check … Continue reading Prank The Automaton
Boy Girl Named
Watched August: Osage County the other night. So. Get prepared, dear worst-reader. This is gonna be a tumbler. Well. Maybe not. Follow-up to this post here. First. Julia Roberts can't say the word fuck. She just can't. I swear, in this film she tries, she really tries. But every time those innocent broad lips open … Continue reading Boy Girl Named
Newz #002
A: But sirrah, I say to you, I'm not intolerant. B: You are, you just don't know it. A: Therefore, this feeling I have, this inner burning sensation, means that I hate everybody? Short pause. A: But sirrah, that can't be. B: Oh it can--just as you were born. Short pause. B: And now I … Continue reading Newz #002
Newz #001
Heard today that blogging was dying. Can that be? worst-Writer's compulsion to write has been waning, that's for sure. But does that mean there's no more room for worst-Writing? Maybe they should just change the name. Indeed. Just change it from blogging to WORSTWRITING. It's a lot better than trying to explain to young dunces … Continue reading Newz #001
Woman Scorn Beware
In the movie Iron Man 2 Tony Stark finds in the diorama of his father's design for the World Expo a formula for creating a new element that will save his life. While analysing the formula through a 3-D generated image, Stark is able to reduce the design to its essence. I say this, worst-Reader, … Continue reading Woman Scorn Beware
End Finally Near
http://youtu.be/VdyKAIhLdNs Unfortunately the end is hardly near. But it should be. The main worst-question to contemplate today is thus: how much will GM pay in fines to the government after the faulty ignition scandal is over? The logical answer to that question is: will the paid fines actually have anything to do with the crime … Continue reading End Finally Near
Taxation Equals Everybody
Subtitle: Taxation Makes Everybody Equal. Yeah, right! Sub-Subtitle: No Seriously. Germans can do nothing else with their success but tax. Result is blotted pseudo socialist anti-market-driven economy but the wurst is great. Links read for this post: DW Hoeness Euronews on Eurowasteland tax evasion Couldn't help but dabble in the Hoeness affair while recently visiting … Continue reading Taxation Equals Everybody
Understanding War Econ
And yet another worst-link of the day requiring some but minimal worst-attention. Link: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-01-27/bundesbanks-stunner-broke-eurozone-nations-first-bail-your-rich-citizens Ok. Dear worst-reader, worst-writer will now come forth to be honest regarding choice of links posted here. I do not actually read zerohedge.com on a regular basis. I skim it every once-a-once. The link above is the second one I'm linking … Continue reading Understanding War Econ
Millenial Essence
Article to read and worst-write about: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-01-20/retail-death-rattle Best worst-quote from above URL: “The country is being kept afloat on an ocean of debt and delusional belief in the power of central bankers to steer this ship through a sea of icebergs just below the surface.” There are moments, believe it or not, where even worstwriter, … Continue reading Millenial Essence
Papa Bear Tech Hug
https://youtu.be/r028SroE6Uk First post in 2014. Happy worst-new-year! Now. On to the more important worst-stuff. Don't you just wanna hug this guy! For worstWriter, Kim Dotcom, aka Kim Schmitz from Kiel, is a rare case of self-aggrandisement that is A-OK. I really luv this guy. Reason? No matter what he does, no matter what drives him, he … Continue reading Papa Bear Tech Hug
Thanks Full Four
Two things to be thankful for this time of year as (we) American'ts celebrate the fairytale holidays known as Thanksgiving which, btw, is the doorway to the next fictional fairytale known as... consumer-to-survive frenzy winter solstice. First. The information that tells the truth about Thanksgiving and Xmas is readily available on these Interwebnets and the … Continue reading Thanks Full Four
Hungry For More
http://youtu.be/XVZgZSSJtz0 As mentioned here, I was hungry for more when I finished Isaacson's book on Steve Jobs. The book really didn't get into anything down & dirty about the man or Apple, which made it a disappointment. Obviously I'm not alone in wanting more about Steve Jobs and also more about the nit & gritty … Continue reading Hungry For More
State Sponsored Injustice
http://youtu.be/joRl9r_cC2U Been following the case of Jeremy Hammond? Or are you just another American't following the butthole of the dollar that rules your measly life? I know. I'm being a bit harsh (for I, as an Expat, follow the butthole of the €uro which ultimately is the same stinky, smelly thing!) What gets me about … Continue reading State Sponsored Injustice
Other Means
Digital dark ages in Germaninland? Or as Angie likes to put it (and I'm paraphrasing): To Germans the Internet is Neuland. With that in mind, I've been considering getting a tablet for a while now. But a few things have been holding me back. For one, my experience with a third gen Kindle hasn't been all that … Continue reading Other Means
