I'm just gonan leave a real short message here for you .. just showing my appreciation of your writing you know. Haven't been around for a while so I thought I'd stop by.
I like the bi-polar disorder issue .. as you might be able to tell from a couple of my poems .. but I tyhink you bite the core of the issue with some good teeth here .. The point, which I think cannot be expressed enough, that the abnormalities that we express, that we have labelled and that we are treated for as if we were diseased are actually direct causes from how society and people go about things .. when we look at things it's not strange at all that we have a bunch of abnormal tendencies and behaviour .. because infact what we do condition these behaviours .. it is actually amazing that we manage to think .. inspite of years and years of a institution that is designed to have an effect of automatisation and brain washing .. it is amazing that we can still love after a social network and interrelations like retarded ideas of no sex before marriage .. which conditions us to use and abuse in a master slave type fallacy .. not to speak of the three main forms of relational cultures we have which are all two wall pyramids doomed to fall without some sort of uber dependency on a government or an institution .. How can you expect to have a perfect circle when someone is contatnly hurling rocks at the outline of your circle to dent it .. it's [censored]in impossible
anyways .. I noticed that you signed up for my blog .. woooh .. yeeh .. thank you I lerb you .. I put some gnome hay(na)ku's up there .. please check them out and tell me what you think if you can me fudged
Your writes are always so intricate and layered. I love that about them, your complexity is real. A story or life reflection that is basically shallow just won't do. You ask, where is the epiphany, where is the drama. Art should be a reflection of life: that means it somehow changes us, if even for a moment.
And anything that resembles the ocean (I envision washing machines and car washes are fine examples too) are fine examples of being tumbled into awareness....I had a friend who would describe her unsettled life as "going through the car wash right now"
Being tumbled for no reason does not get it, being bored is even worse...you're a genius sis, so glad to see you writing.
once again, i am getting a palahniuk feel from your work. very tyler durdenesque lines you have pulled off. masochism, a disdain for authoritative powers, mischeif/mayhem, hollywood disillusionment, zhen/bhuddism ravings and rants.
the follow through in the end is uncharacteristic though, but it has shades of seeking of approval and wanting. quite the battle there.
