About Myself:

the mysterious recipe to having your stories read: write - read - comment - rate - rinse and repeat. . .

keep in mind that if you don't take your work seriously, nobody else will either.

i'm am in the re-read, edit, repost mode. so, you're going to see some reruns - sorry 'bout that.

if you good folks find typos - grammar smackers - and format strangeness, please don't hesitate to quick message me or drop a comment...

write on!

Title article: Existentialist mime story
Date: 2008-09-24 02:20:24

existentialist mime story
great narration, and a pretty tight construction makes this really easy to read.

thought it was interesting that the the coffee shop owner replaced a mime (read object) with different objects...

didn't get the melancholy feel though - i must be a little twisted...

it came across as just a little humorous in a quiet sorta way...

Title article: Tell Me That You Love Me
Date: 2008-09-24 02:12:18

tell me that you love me...
i have always been intrigued by sir will, not so much by he himself as the era that he rose in.

back then, without the benefit of television - words were all you had. AND you had to write those words so that anyone could say them - and they would hold true.

i've always thought the writings of those times were much like painting a flower and causing it to bloom...

this piece has become my favorite writing experience, i think.

i read: Silently I cry out to thee to carry me away to the place thy soul resides, to hear you breathe words unto me that speak of time everlasting

and: My heart, my lungs, my soul are consumed with words to turn thee to my side, but a moment's gaze into the beauty of thine eyes erases all.

and i wonder where the hell i was when i wrote this, 'cause it ain't my style...

i like all of the things i post here, and i appreciate them for what they are - but i'm pretty proud of this little piece...

the comments made me feel all the more warm and fuzzy.

Title article: Her Eyes the Stars
Date: 2008-09-23 11:11:15

her eyes
well, being the late guy to gettin on the bus let me say this about that - 'what they said'

everything about it was good. best appreciated by me is the lack of graphics...

Title article: Ashes (Reconstructed)
Date: 2008-09-23 10:54:13

ashes
i've always been a fan of poetry that doesn't cling to the rhyme factor.

rhyme is nice - but more often than not, it limits the writer's vocabulary... and (for me) poetry without rhyme as it's base reads with so much more feeling.

this was a very nice piece to read - and very straight forward in a crooked sort of way.

definitely one of your best.

Title article: The Purple Beneath, Chapter 1
Date: 2008-09-23 02:42:52

purple beneath 1
good framework max.

laughed at the poison ivy thing - i've had my own stupid human moments with gargantuan vines of it on my trees in maryland a hundred years or so ago...

found out - i am not affected by it. thank god, cause i was surely covered in it.

very interested in seeing what direction chapter 2 takes. if johnny shows up - i'm gonna jump off of - well maybe a short step or something...

Title article: Please, Come Home. Please.
Date: 2008-09-23 02:21:17

please, come home
well, i made it to the bottom - but i have to admit, as soon as i found out what was happening, i had to go into the scan mode...

allergic to sexual violence and all.

very well written sir carter!

Title article: MULLET MASONICS (Gambia 1996-2008)
Date: 2008-09-23 02:17:48

mullet masonics
this tale just goes to show that there is always something.

its just that the focus is usually on the reverse...

very entertaining!

Title article: She Said
Date: 2008-09-22 14:21:32

she said...
yeah, i'm afraid i have. all of my music starts backwards - i get hooked on a tune, then the mood of the tune makes the lyrics appear.

thanks for the comments folks!

Title article: Run Katy Run
Date: 2008-09-22 12:18:12

run katy run
wow, got halfway through and saw where it was going and couldn't finish.

my little one is a step child - and her bio father just got out of federal prison. lewdness with minor - one of her best friends (10 years old)...

although her father put an exclamation point on it, i have never been able to sit through a movie or read a book that included sexual violence towards an adult, or any type of violence towards a minor.

which means - you wrote this one well.

Title article: Acorns Don't Fall Far
Date: 2008-09-22 12:11:14

acorns don't fall
rites of passage...

interesting perspective piece - strangely conflicting also, since i've been on both sides of the coin.

back in my day, my dad would drive away saying, 'hope mister cool has a ride home from this unsanctioned adventure - it's a long walk'

now with all of the silent dangers lurking, something like that could leave you without a child...

but there's always, "you're a tuff guy, all grown up and manly, figure it out yourself. i'm going fishing..." - what goes around...

fun read!
