I'm a simple man. Its seems the majority of the time, I'm thinking about sex/girls or food. And I'm more likely to know about the latest entertainment gossip than current events. It seems all I ever surf for is stuff having to do with entertainment, guns, or cars.

I've said this a million times before, but surely there are more fruitful pursuits out there. Perhaps I should read more. Like the classics, mebbe delve into philosophy and strategy too so I can sound all well read and wise and stuff. Or I can work on my writing. There are a couple things I've been inspired to write about. I have some ideas for stories, short essays, and the like. I could compile a comprehensive listing of all my slang and sayings, and plant the seeds further to see if it pervades the language in twenty years.

The Trial

i can hear him now--"these angst-ridden people with their one-letter last names...cliffv('what's up with that?')"

[an inside joke only anthony & i would get, except anthony's never read kafka so i guess only i get it--but its damned funny...]

heh.

Actually, I fucking HATED The Trial. I still can't stand it.

So, I feel like recommending it so I can spread the misery of having had to read it for a college class years ago.

But really, what is up with all this angst ridden stuff or social commentary? These writers think they're so great and they have something important to say!

Well, it *was* important, I just hated reading it. Scary stuff...about fascism and genetics and what not in all sorts of books. Like, I hated "A Brave New World"...but looking back on the book, think about how close that is to coming true with all the cloning and other genetic experiments going on.
