I think perhaps that I'm bottoming out again. It's just this odd feeling that comes across me from time to time. Damn it, I was just feeling a slight vibe of joviality passing through me. Now it's probably left

Mediocracy

[andalusiandog]

Mediocrity and genius feel exactly the same. Alex and Art felt much the same way you do, only slightly more homosexual. But I won't mince words. I know what your saying.

Note that your brooding on your humdrumness only makes you more mediocre. Because any intelligent person can do that to death.

We as a race for the past couple centuries have been crippled with three major flaws: laziness, fear and impatience. And this is what keeps us mediocre. We are just getting worse and soon, within the next hundred years, there will be no culture, no art and barely any communcation. Lots of words but no meaning and no one listening.

SO STOP IT. Anybody anywhere can overcome those flaws quite easily: as the sneaker makers say, JUST DO IT. NO FEAR.

Because all you have to lose is your mediocrity.

I do not mean to accuse you; I do the same thing. I barely even write.

I don't feel as though you are accussing me in the least. To be honest, I find it to be more encouragement. I get in slumps from time to time (I'm prone to depression), but generally, I'm creating (though I don't often get the time to do it), not really caring too much whether my work is mediocre or not. Most people don't really take the time to create, so I guess we should both be lauded for what we do

p.s.- I'll probably post some of my work on here in the future.

Dylan Thomas, eh? Died of an insult to the brain after complimenting a girl, did he not? Poets always die rather strangely.

Franz Kafka said a lot of quotable things, all of which were very great. It’s like he never said anything boring, ever.

“Franz, would you like some nuts?”
“God gives the nuts, but he does not crack them.”
“Wow, that’s deep. But do you want the nuts or not?”
“…uh…Don't despair, even over the fact that you don't despair.”
“Stop that.”
“There is a point beyond which we connot return. That is the point that must be reached.”
“You are weird. I’m not giving you any nuts now.”
“*sniff* Wa-huh, huh…I really wanted some nuts *sniff sniff sob*”
“What was that you just said?”
“I said anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.” (runs away)

p. motherfuckin' s.: I look forward to that.
