>"Actually, luv, I suspect he understands that he is not "clever." I do not pretend to be a Ginsberg or a Dylan -- but I do not pretend to be a mediocrity, either. I may not be able to function in this sociopathic society that the human race has fabricated across the face of the world."
Well I'd have to say I think I understand what you're talking about."But I do ask probing and disturbing questions about it. Any mind would find these queries disturbing -- a bipolar mind such as my own, already a fragile thing -- sidles up to such questions. I find them too terrible to face full on."
Actually, Atticus, facing them at all is what is so wonderful about people such as yourself .. and me.. I don't care if anybody disagrees, that's their right, but I find me fascinating, hence I also find you the same.. embracing your own power and strength then being able to say yes, but I'm also incredibly weak, my god look at me I'm no different than the one I despise so much .. asking those questions is humbling, and acknowledging how difficult it was to ask them is acknowledging the power in yourself ...
"What he is, in the end, is a bureaucrat -- and a bureaucracy is not an "entity" that holds up well under close scrutinization (sic). I find that an irrational and absurdist world is best probed, ....." from there, Atticus, my mind went completely blank, and I can read and re-read what you've written and right now it means absolutely nothing. Do you know, I think I might be ready for bed ... my mind is becoming ... Red Dwarf mush .. what I wouldn't give for a funny episode of Red Dwarf, right now....
