There are two (more) things today to say about driving on the Autobahn. Well, actually, there are a lot more things to be said but I don't feel like typing so much this morn. For example. If you ever want to know how Germany works, you know, as a way to figure out why such … Continue reading Brake Driving

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
Fresh Ammunition
Some thoughts motivated after reading an article about the mechanics of nature and how certain stuff about nature just don't seem right. Or does it seem right? Nomatter. Don't know what it is. Is it my face? The way I walk? The boring way I dress? There has to be a reason why, when walking … Continue reading Fresh Ammunition
Actor Important
http://youtu.be/P0ukYf_xvgc http://youtu.be/Z7BuQFUhsRM I do not wish to belittle Kevin Spacey's achievements as an actor. In fact, can't wait to watch House of Cards. But after watching the above vid of him playing Mr. Important-Actor, all I can say is... Mr. Spacey, YOU GO GURL! Of course, I live in Germaninland where the digital world is … Continue reading Actor Important
Shock Awed
Update: here some great reporting on WAPO purchase by Bezos. Was reading through the news last night using Flipboard. When I saw the headline that Bezos bought WAPO I yelped kinda loud. Startled my dog and perhaps a neighbour or three thru various open windows that seem to offer no help in this Eurowasteland heatwave. … Continue reading Shock Awed
Almost Defined: Creativity
Dec. 16, 2012 Installment #38 - Almost Defined - Creativity There is a (inner) battle to understand creativity. Below is a recent email exchange with a "friend" that gets a bit into the what-is-creativity thing. Due to the mention of female genitalia, this post (and how many others?) is NSFW. Dear Old-Friend, I spoke to … Continue reading Almost Defined: Creativity
Illusion of Comic Truth
July 27, 2012 The Illusion (Of Comic) Truth It took me a while to get used to it but I eventually came to terms with the fact that it takes a bit longer for movies to get their start in Germany. This delay has to do with the greed of movie distributors and the dumbfounding … Continue reading Illusion of Comic Truth
Faust Walpurgisnacht
Listening to Beethoven and reading Faust... I know what you’re saying. You're saying: how can you do two masochistic things at once! Well, trust me (when I worst-write)... It’s not easy. Usually what happens is that I turn off the sound system and continue reading. Call it a tick of mine. The music gets me … Continue reading Faust Walpurgisnacht
Nova
https://youtu.be/acxsnTmqENI Here's the transcript: Something short, non-discreet, pale, without remorse, absent of sense, grammar, yeah, sense. Great way to practice typing. The only thing I ever learned in school--and very thankful for it! Almost sorry I gave up this form of writing, though. I can still smell the paper, the ink silk, the old metal … Continue reading Nova
Number of Heartbeats
I'll have a fish and feel the scales soaked in oil crumble between my teeth. Was that fish as tired as the water left in his wake? And do the fishermen know if they hunt for squid at night below an artificial sun and catch a red-snapper then the red snapper will make it belated … Continue reading Number of Heartbeats
Nother Ode To Nothingness
As the days pass with no results of my efforts (which kinda makes them something other than efforts) the pain increases. Of course, everyone would argue that my efforst are nothing. But I think the last two stories I submitted are worth a great deal. Certainly they represent a high-point of my work up to … Continue reading Nother Ode To Nothingness
Arguments In Space
Traveling. Long drawn out travel. Stress. On flight back and arrival a great surprise awaits. Oh. Oh. What is the surprise? Short story. Off the top I'm thinking, as a title for those words poked out early on an airport napkin. What a napkin it was. It smelled. Of something unclean. It was dark white, … Continue reading Arguments In Space
Friend Loss
How I lost all my friends. A short (story, play) and a commentary. The not getting along of friends. Try to duplicate the dialog and discussion that takes place between (Friend 1) and I and (Friend 2) and I. The discussion that leads me to so much ugliness (on my part). Why do I get … Continue reading Friend Loss
Action Reaction Action
LH418 (>IAD). Outrageous and ludicrous the entirety of security one must now face. Entirety the word? Such a colossal waste of time and resources. The largest US government expansion in fifty years? To even imagine that politicians cannot see the wrong of their leadership and lawmaking fits perfectly to the silly-ness of airport security in … Continue reading Action Reaction Action
Negative Zero
Disclaimer. The following came to me the other day - as opposed to me coming to it - which happens quite a bit - so bear with me. I had these thoughts that started with: "What is writing?" In order to prevent things from getting out of hand I attempted to hone the thoughts with … Continue reading Negative Zero
Comprehension Equals Imagination
Subtitle: There Are No Corners in Space. (Pic of Monolith from 2001 Space Odyssey) Comprehension has always been my predicament. In a world where everything is delivered to the mind without effort its a wonder that human beings havent evolved into bio-electric globs of suitable jelly that are able to spew out perfect computer code. … Continue reading Comprehension Equals Imagination
Blind Text And HDT
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
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
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
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.
Colorless Green
2005 09 28 Idear: a couple plus one. The one is the ex of couple female or vice versa. Couple male (or vice versa) is rich guy for some odd secret reason is willing to support couple female ex. Get that? The only way to allow creativity to blossom is to avoid the compulsive behavior … Continue reading Colorless Green
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
