Hungerstrike Is On Again !
Saturday, September 24, 2011
Really, Truly, Honestly, Finished With NoR !
Yesterday my book Nature of religion went off to the printers.
All the corrections are done; the cover art was finished, the pdf cleaned up, etc etc.
It's finally done.
Of course, there's still the matter of making an e-book out of it, but that's not a big deal - just have to hire people to do it.
And so - something I've worked towards for over 6 years has come to pass.
Sorry about those whiny posts earlier - I've had tremendous luck over the last few months, but I've also been on a kind of emotional rollercoaster, as any regular reader of this blog knows, I'm sure.
That's why I chose Oasis for the accompanying music to this post. Wonderwall is a painful, wistful song. And though it marked the peak of success for Oasis, that success was bittersweet. I can relate.
Like the song says, "...and all the roads that lead you there are winding. And all the lights that light the way are blinding. There are many things that I would like to say to you, but I don't know how..."
I guess it's just that people are so fucking rotten to each other so often, ya' know? And there's not much anyone can do to change that sad, simple fact.
But I have no room to complain. Things are going my way, and i have a huge amount to be thankful for.
Thanks for visiting. I'll be putting up a pdf copy of the book for people to read on the website next week. I'll post one of those one-click links when it's up.
Meantime, take care, and be decent to someone - just for the hell of it.
Ciao.

I Am SO Fuckin' Lucky!!!!!!!
Over the last two days, I Interviewed Sen. Rob't Jackson (recently accused of pullin' a gun on a guy over political bullshit in MS), and Mayor Johnny DuPree - likely to be the next governor of MS; looks like I'll take the job of editor of Bayou magazine. Only 10-15,000 circulation, but still - it's a lot of people for the MS Delta.
The Gladiator soundtrack below seemed relevant for a minute, there - but you know how it is when you're wasted ! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..........
Love all of ya', ya' fuckers !

every so often, the gods speak...
but we don't wanna listen. It's a tale of our own folly, anyway.
We know how badly we've fucked up the world.
And - in all honesty ? - most of us don't care enough to stop.
And so we'll drive it all off the cliff.
Oh well.
Ain't that a bitch.
Ozric Tentacles captures it well, I think - don't you ?

And the BOC video is because...
Sorry !
I forgot to mention, i posted the BOC vid because that's how I feel - a veteran of a 1,000 psychic wars - just worn the fuck out. And it STILL goes on - the mind war never really ends, does it ?

WTF ?!!!
My best friend of 6 years looked at my blog - yeah - this one ! - and said it was so sexist he didn't want anything to do me with me any more !!! IS THAT A TRIP, OR WHAT ?!
Do you think this site is sexist ? Or anti-feminist ? My best friend said he didn't want anything to do with me because of this blog - being disrespectful of women.
I'm hurt, bewildered, I really feel overwhelmed by this.
What do YOU think ?
I LOVE women ! I have total respect for them. I would NEVER disrespect a woman !
Do YOU think this blog is in any way disrespectful of women ?!
Please tell me, because this came totally out of the blue, and i feel horrified, saddened, and dumbfounded.
If you think this is in ANY WAY accurate, please tell me !
Thank you. I can't believe my friend of all these years is so offended he rejects me because of this site !

And Before Anyone Says Anything...
I love LIIT's - and I know they're actually a SIX shotter - anisette, triple sec, vodka, gin, rum, and spritz in 7-up, coke, and a dash of lime.
I was just using three metaphorically, like a generic standard...
Oh - who cares - I'm just blasted ! NEVER MIND...

Attention ! DO NOT VIEW THE VIDEO BELOW unless you have consumed...
...unless you have consumed, at a MINIMUM - three forty-ouncers; or two three-shot drinks (like Long Island Iced Tea's, etc), or three good, long bongloads of decent weed; or five to seven microbrewed ones (Nolan's Porter ? Scotch Ale ?);
or maybe, if you're a REALLY crazy motherfucker - downin' a bottle of brandy or perhaps JD or Vodka ? ;) I dunno - those days are behind me.
Wine and soda's more my speed these days...
anyway's - the video below is EXTREMELY bizarre - but - if you're fucked up enough, it's amusing, in it's own highly peculiar way.
Don't you think ?
Honestly, I'm just tryin' to distract you from my sorry-ass post below ! lol.

Yeah, I know it's Old School...
Well folks, today was really it.
I got confirmation from the people who own the art for my book cover that it's copyright-free (YAY !), and also my buddy Shachaf made the final pdf version of the book - so it'll soon be available through Kindle, Nook, and all those other e-readers.
Plus a bunch of other productive, positive shit.
And to celebrate, I got pretty blitzed down at Gentle Ben's on Univ. - not drunk; just seriously buzzed - a kind, sweet, mellow good beer buzz (they brew some awesome beer & ale there).
So the question is - after all this time - years and years and years - I finish the book my grandfather inspired (I loved him so much), and where's that feeling of completion ? Strange, but I just feel hollow.
Is this the curse of modern society ? That we just can't feel a fuckin' thing anymore, we're so numb ?!
I don't know.
I DO know I've finally put a lot of ghosts to rest. And I have done my best - which is all you can do, right ?
OK - I'm gonna spill my guts here. Why do I wanna weep ?
So what the fuck's wrong with me ?
Take It To The Limit - I keep playin' that fucker over and over - so much of it is true...
All alone at the end of the evenin '...thinkin' about a woman who loved me...I've always been a dreamer, and so on and so forth.
You can spend all your time makin' money...if it all fell to pieces tomorrow, would you still be mine ? (of course fuckin' not!), etc. etc.
And so I sit here - everything I could want immediately at hand, and wonder why
it's never enough - is it ? Everything going right...so rare, so incredibly good.
One book published by a New York publisher, the other about to hit print under my own company's label.
Like the Aussie's say - "No worries, Mate".
Ah, well. I guess it doesn't mean a fuckin' thing, does it ?
Thank you for caring enough to read this. It really does feel good that other people care - even if only a little.
In the end, that's all we have - the people we've touched in life. Relationships.
And we don't realize it until we're almost dead - that our relationships with others are the only thing that mattered in life.
Too heavy ?
Sorry.
I get this way when I'm seriously flawed. Oh well.
But it IS a day for celebration, and I'm just tryin' to figure out why I feel so sad.
Can you possibly understand ?

FINALLY !!!
After over 6 years, this morning i finished the last bit of work, and Nature of Religion is complete.
Next week, I'll select the printer (I think I've already found one - Tiger), and make both print copies, and an ebook out of it.
Somehow, that old Bach fugue seems like the sound of success, painfully reached
(see video below). But i also posted it because this is the coolest display of classical music I've ever seen - such a trippy way of following the notes. I recommend you get stoned before viewing the video - you'll get a MAJOR kick out of it.
Had to share that w/ you - just ask, and I'll send you an ebook of it, once they're ready.
Ciao.
