my life sucks so i write.  i look at life differently than others. as in Hegel’s essay about the man on the street i am uncomfortable enough and lack the tact to take anything for granted.  though i may not be a brilliant philosopher or poet, this inability to expres the mundane leaves me craving for it and that is what fiction is all about, so i may be a writer out of a flat out necessity. i struggle with my teachers in school, i hate them mostly, i hate all teachers.  i am illgocial and spiteful that about sums up my personality.

Poetry has become too egotistical.

It's a game- the ego is a game to him, nothing serious or perilously personal.

I have been intent on blowing my fuicking brains out, turning this graying head- brains as my hair, gray matter overall- into a pinata so I can wake the neighbors. But i have yet to finish the note. I figure it'll take me a lifetime to slog through such a gratuitous procedure. Maybe I'll get me some incentive. I don't want to end up in hell for scattering my brains, anyway. I need to graduate from college first. I'll kill myself soon, just you wait and see. That's all the incentive I need. As...
