BLOGGER



Youngest kid of six with an inferiority and black sheep complex, but determined that God saves not just his soul to heaven but the remainder of his manic-depressive life, so others won't say he became a Christian and remained a jerk.


MAIN THEMES

On identity
i won't be transparent before i'm opaque. and you'll get to know me starting from the small things: who my favourite bands are. what kind of movies i like. who are my heroes.

On Christianity
I’m convinced that when confronted with sincere, real love, the Jesus factor will become obvious. But let’s not plant the cross before we carry it. I’m not trying to con you.

On dreams
Some dreams are meant to be achieved. I know that. But maybe other dreams are meant to drive us, privately. Never known to anyone but ourselves.


OTHER THEMES

On melancholy
It is a sadness that, when choosing between crying and sighing, will choose sighing. I'd almost say that melancholy is being sad about sadness itself.

On memory and nostalgia
It saddens me when life moves forward and people decide that certain things are worth forgetting.

On language
I've learnt that the word irregardless is filed as a non-standard word in the English language. That's a lexicographer's way of saying it's not a real word.

On politics
Crowds are fickle things. So when we stand in the thousands and cry against the present government, do we know who we're actually crying for?

On society
People always want the best for themselves. But I want to sometimes take second or third or fourth best, just so that the loser down the road doesn't always have to come in last. It must feel like shit to always come in last.

On growing old
Leasehold property make me feel sad. It doesn't matter how old the family photos are that you put on your wall. It's your family but it's not really your wall.

On philosophy
I ask you, if God loves everyone, and if God is also incapable of loving evil, how can there be such a thing as an evil man?

On a daily basis
One line quips, like this.

THE MANTLEPIECE

You may (or may not) remember that a few months ago, i attempted resurrecting my literary life. was it successful? to a certain degree, no.

actually, it was an outright failure. i read saint-exupery's short stories, all one and a half of them. i wrote several poems - mostly in the heat of a few days - but that was it. there was no sustained effort, especially in poetry, and there was certainly no sustained improvement. i sat down for the first time in months to write poetry (just now) and what i ended up with is beyond my ability to denegrate.

so maybe i'm not in the mood.

the last time i saw valis, i made him do automatic writing as per the surrealists. he had been talking about them nonstop anyway. i too tried my hand at it (the last time i indulged in such automaton was years ago). the result, which would naturally read like rubbish, was nothing dramatically different from what i had previously done in this genre of writing. because it is after all the genre of rubbish (to most anyway), i shall reproduce it here in the best way possible (i say this because automatic writing, when done on paper, may not contain legible words nor even, at times, roman script).


The Mantlepiece

Mantlepiece is the pragmatic ontological axis combined to restructure capricious kadues, too days and molecules. if positive charge were to sprinkle lady ornaments in this candor then the popsickle anyhow will not make make make it to the table of my foundational beliefs. for him, it was always hard. even when procurement of tenors and billiard tables were part of kaleidoscope and hamburgers, we made happy days out of paper and gum. toilet balls and idiomatic couples were considered to be interested in buying it. what monstrisity! to be sold into france and epoch of the underside of the belly is a light and sun is brown. to make one happy, one needs a queen.

quality paper and professional connectivity spurns the desire of one man to let the other man make his phonecall because he always knows that there lies beyond the lake a pew and a pop. garden is too much of primitivity. in fact, the beginning proved to have too many stripes coming on to the feasible fall of rain wind dew that fell just like concordance page numbers (those you follow in on until nothing happens). i am the falling tree.

see to it that the curvacious woman and the curly man do not stop at the bolt and the surgery capital and mobsters! beyond the celuloid! this is the culmination of Dogma. what else did the pony do when all it could really do was to rub ointment into the hearts of men? in spite of that, the shutters kept coming down so that the little conversations all came together to become a single chapter. perhaps this was the way to tell the hours were not making enough cabbage.


vernon, feel free to insult me now.
