Subtitle: How Not To Get A Job Oh, the nonsense. Who wrote it best? That would have to be Henry David Thoreau. My man. Wish I had the balls to live in hut and eat tree bark. Wish I had a friend who would afford me the land on a lake. One of my favorite … Continue reading Blind Text And HDT
Endnotes In A Novel
Bitchin' and moaning' never ends. One of the settings for my unfinished novel Engagement is Germany. Being in Germany means there's no getting around the language. Although I don't have much trouble speaking German, writing it is another story. I’ll let Mark Twain explain that one to you. Anywho. While working on my book the … Continue reading Endnotes In A Novel
National Does A Judas
Popular = Good Life. Well, it’s finally come full circle. Da Vinci Snot the film has been released. And did you get a shot of that train delivering the privileged few from London to Cannes? Tom Hanks looked overly debonair and Ron Howard, that freaky child actor who was constantly the subject of my spit … Continue reading National Does A Judas
HP Scanners Sucks As Do The Mice
Remember the days when hitting the key combination ctrl+s saved your ass and the work you were hacking into your computer? I'm talking 1982, here. Well, for whatever reason, today I forgot what the concept of ctrl+s means. This is attributable to one of two things: drink or laziness. Let me repeat: I forgot the … Continue reading HP Scanners Sucks As Do The Mice
Holy Blood, Holy Grail
Thoughts on: Holy Blood, Holy Grail Finding religion? Some find it in the perfect rumbling/tuned V-8. Others the clearest shot at a buck following at least seven doe. What about that perfect female in a bikini that you just gotta have? And then there's the American't Pauline evangelical that has been inscribed (indoctrinated) in us … Continue reading Holy Blood, Holy Grail
Job Krapp
Subtitle: Why does it have to be a career? It's difficult recalling the amount of correspondence I've written and forwarded in the past twenty years regarding employment. I am probably the best living example of a ”job jumper” anyone will ever find. Because of that, at forty-three I am unable to acquire a job where … Continue reading Job Krapp
Friend
A friend of mine was named by his parents “…”. I met most of his parents. In fact, recently I ran into one of his mothers at a bar in a part of town where large cars park illegally on the sidewalk in front of it and because they are so shinny and expensive the … Continue reading Friend
Freiestheater Equals Deadend
In z'Germaninland, that little place in the middle of Eurowasteland, Freiestheater is almost comparable to New York “Off” and London “Fringe”. I say "almost" because at least NY and LN have produced works from their venues that are worth a hoot. With that bit of frustration in mind... For a struggling writer rejection is good. It … Continue reading Freiestheater Equals Deadend
Example Cover Letter
This is almost a disclaimer: 1) Now that the peons of most Anglo corporations are scratching their monkey heads about where their futures are (not) going, it might be time to (re)think (a)knew. If thinking without emotional influence or monetary influence is a problem in your life, then you might want to review this documentation … Continue reading Example Cover Letter
Truth Seeking v2.0
(Something I’ve been working on and will likely never finish. As usual.) Subtitle: Isaac Newton and (My United Mistake’s) Radio Talking Heads It hurts me to say this but there is no such thing as truth seeking. Trust me, I’m American’t born - I know these things. Of late I feel compelled to promote this … Continue reading Truth Seeking v2.0
What Is Creative
There are times when I confuse myself so much I could bust. I’ve concluded over the years, with some systematic observation, that the eternal and infinite state of confusion I often find myself in might be the reason, in general, that so many men need sex as a sport instead of intimacy and/or procreation and/or … Continue reading What Is Creative
What To Write On
I’ve gone through a lot of writing material in my day. I only wish I would have gone through more. (Perhaps more on that in another run-away-future post.) Henry Miller wrote that he’d written millions of words. And I’m sure he did. But did Miller write as much text as Bach wrote notes? Who in … Continue reading What To Write On
Duped At eBay
The funny thing about the death of so many ”dot-coms” and the end of the Internet boom isn’t the actual demise of something that might have brought us out of the industrial dark-ages but the aftermath and the who and what that survived. Also. Of the dotcom survivors, it seems that they have all become … Continue reading Duped At eBay
Domaine Du Chasseur
Domaine Du Chasseur. On top Mauritian mountain looking at Indian Ocean. Thought. The secret to life is knowing exactly what you want out of it. It is of the utmost importance that a young man know this. Otherwise. Forget it. Move on. Because life moves on with or without you. Trust me, I have survive … Continue reading Domaine Du Chasseur
Signs of Having Made A Living
There were times when I was able to make a living. This post is just a small sign of that. It also reflects a time when I wasn’t so defeated. Boy, do I miss those days. I wouldn’t say that they were easy days but they were days of less ill-fated thoughts. The problem I … Continue reading Signs of Having Made A Living
Not Quite A Recipe
When illusion turns to delusion. With a male it is the transition from boy to man. For a female it is much, much more complicated. I think. I think I do not know. Remember. The way Mauritians pour their beer. Their beer, btw, Phoenix, is pretty good. Thank goodness. It's freaking hot here. Recipe? Not … Continue reading Not Quite A Recipe
Good Luck Success
Bad luck is bad luck. Unlike good luck. Good luck is grand but never the same. You can't put a face on it. Success on the other hand can have a thousand faces beyond the happy one it misses.
Beach Blanket Forgot
Oh my. We forgot beach blankets. More important than my tooth brush. Thousands of miles and beach blankets are a needed commodity. Oh save me purchasing power. With that in mind, how can one say something without speaking? One must write it and not (actually) say it. Or?
Cheap German Airline And Dodo
Condor DE314 > MRU (Mauritius) Going to see the Dodo. Raphus Cucullatus. (SP?) Will never fly Condor again. Never say never. This is the worst, most uncomfortable flight ever. Shame on airlines all. Now move on. Is there a significant difference between reconciliation and compromise? A subtle difference. What of rights between payer and payee? … Continue reading Cheap German Airline And Dodo

This the idea that he has been surrounded by illicit drugs all his life. Whether in America or Europe. When driving the anonymous across … Continue reading Sharing On Horizon
Irrumatio
Just another word to invent. The all encompassing fancy word that seems to describe all one can do to the penis. There I said it. I'm a vulgar redneck without recourse. And that, among all the juvenility, is all I have. I think. "A Man Without A Country" by Kurt Vonnegut. It should be a … Continue reading Irrumatio
Five Stages
Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. The five stages of grief. Whoever had it wrong. Women are not jealous of not having a penis. They are instead curious. Curious about the simplicity of the whole (or)deal. They expel love. You know who? They will be kept or whores. Given to the whims only their bodies cause. … Continue reading Five Stages
Presupposing Opposition
The act of doing presupposes opposition... (see William Burroughs). Cronyism, partiality, nepotism, favouritism. Stop. How to get to a fascist state? You make the people want it. Is that what Italy did? Curious about those Italians. What is it, more or less, that western society does with its citizens? (Should I call them sheople? No. … Continue reading Presupposing Opposition
Descriptive Innovation
So let's go there. Democracy. Democracy? The answer is not in (any) centralized institution or government. I would like to think the answer is in the people who make up "democracy". But what does that mean? Perhaps there should be a halt in responses to questions so that there can be more answers to question. … Continue reading Descriptive Innovation
