If you follow what I write on talk.bizarre, you know I've recently started writing again, following a long dry spell. For those who aren't very sensitive to reading between the lines, part of the reason for this is some weird emotional work I'm going through.
I've decided to start collecting and logging what I've been writing as I post it. In the past I've sometimes lost things I later regretted, through not saving copies at the time. To start with, I'm just going to leave it all in ASCII; gradually pieces will get converted to HTML. Eventually maybe some will be illustrated and what-not.
In the meantime, these pages will look rough and not pretty-pretty. Cope.
This is a cheat. It's a catch-all for whatever I've felt like musing or ranting about, masquerading as a genuine series. However... if you put a similar title on things, people will see the similarities. If there are no similarities apparent to you, they will divine some which surprise you.
(These are now perhaps trying to converge on a genuine theme, or at least chasing CJ's "why i'm off my feed " series around in a little spiral fugue.)
I missed saving the first few, but have just retrieved a couple of them from one of the many fine archives.
I've been having an active dream life lately. Some of these mean things, and in some cases I know exactly what they mean. Some don't mean anything I can recognize.
What is a "Not a Dream"? What a fine question!
These will be slow to come, because they're hard for me to face writing. I'm trying to write about some very painful experiences, during one of the more painful parts of my life. It's something I think I need to do.
Put it this way: this makes writing about my self-mutilation and suicidal impulses in Sharp Edges seem easy by comparison.
These are my little ways of expressing my experiences of frustration in the work-place. It's safer than, say, Macing one of the executives. All stupidity guaranteed authentic!
There are some I posted a year or two ago that I'll have to look for and include. As they say, "You can't make this shit up."
We live in foul and perverse times. America is hardening straight into the Roman empire at its most decadent, and I'm not talking about our private perversions - I'm just fine with those. I'm talking about children starving and people dying in the streets, while our tonier citiziens concoct theories to explain why this is just fine.
So, if we want advice on how to conduct our political and civic affairs, where better to look than the good old days?
Get a life.
