Hey now now......what's shaking
I have reached the point where everything that absolutely confounds me just makes me laugh outloud. I don't understand the FSP book I am reading....and neither does anyone else. Yet, people have hailed it as genuis( even kids in the class). Sometimes things that don't make sense aren't deep or brilliant...they are just confusing for the point of being confusing.This guy makes Faulkner seem coherent and childish.
I am not fed up yet, just amused by the bullshit spouted in class
I actually have nothing else to say, but I still feel the need to type, so here we go.
My inner most thoughts are absolute and positive shit, no matter what I do I cannot articulate them. I believe written word has a great power to get any emotion described, but not felt. Words cannot make you truly feel an emotion, it can only give you vague idea. Every so often, a book comes so close to articulating real emotion, it can make you cry, laugh, feel humbled...but it can never truly tap into that emotion. It is simply a vague idea. There has to be a way to get it completely felt....words have the power, we just haven't found it. I don't know, maybe I am crazy.
For real life.
Sleep is good, but there are about 75 pages of shit standing in my way of it.
I wouldn't call myself a procrastonator, I'm more of a....aw fuck it

"for real life"... i see laura has contributed to this in some way.
i absolutely hate when people read books that are completely confusing and are like "it's genius!!" what the hell? we were discussing the mona lisa in class today. who named that some amazing work of art? all i see is a painting.

ouch, poor Leonardo! ;-P
but i know what you are saying.... I have been reading more poetry than I have the ability to comprehend the existance of.... so much of it is just nonsense.. words randomly thrown on a page with no apparent logic or coherency... i mean, i'm not stupid, the meaning just isn't there! i've gotten to the point of not caring anymore whether or not they mean anything.
Conversely, if you want a book that actually makes you feel a real emotion, I'll lend you "The 9/11 Commission Report" so that you can read chapter 1.1. Or if it has to be fiction, maybe read "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Maybe I'm just weird, but it seems like books frequently fill me with emotions. And I definitely agree.. I hate it when poets or authors screw around so much with spacing or stream of consciousness that you are left with something that screams out "Hey! I am avant garde! Take me seriously!"
She likes calling meee in cold showerrrs
sorry.. i was just listening to that song and the melody to the part is way too catchy

hmmm... sorry to comment again on the same post, but I just did a paper on a poem called Dulce et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen... about poison gassing in World War I.... if you want emotion from a poem, that is your poem... although, as I'm a little too full of that emotion right now, I'm not sure I recommend it....
Hey-
The Laura quote about the puppy made me crack up and literally almost fall out of my chair. The Laura legacy has lived on in Newspaper... the first day of class Covino explained to the class what it meant if someone said "thanks tons" or "sars...NOT the disease!" Good times...
The whole thing with not understanding literature, hailing it as genius, and then spouting bs about it abounds like crazy in my AP class with Dodge. I mean, we're only discussing Light in August and people who didn't finish it are making things up to make Dodge think their smart...I didn't finish it either, but I only comment on what I know. *shrugs*
Take care of the Yakob, y'hear?
