hey. Pastura referred me to you.
You're cool. It's relieving for me to see a verbose thinker such as yourself as a fellow member. Not only are you cool, but you've got a touch of danger hanging just unseen like a light morning mist that veils an island.
If I had more time to leave a comment, I would. I'll just second Pastura in saying that Franny and Zooey is definitely an amazing work, my favorite out of all of the "Glass Saga" books he did. Boiled down to its simplest plot points, it could be seen as a sequel to Catcher, hoping to answer the question of "what happens next?" But really, it's much more than that. The style in which this book has been written was such a powerful thing to me in high school that to this day, I have to struggle with myself to not write this way. Of course, I won't spoil these things for you. But with your comments on Goethe, I think that if you get around to reading Franny and Zooey, we could have quite a conversation.
This is the shortest comment you will ever get from me. That's not a promise, or even a threat. It's more like a statement of fact.

A scot walks into a pharmacy...... how's it going man thanks for the birthday wishes. I don't think I'm myspace friends with you add me up dude. I've been very busy since I moved to the laid back urban area making music, drawings, helping organize canoe based shows etc so as a result I contribute to the boards less now. Which I think is better for me as a person. For example today I got up and rode my bike across the lake on the old causeway (30+miles Round trip) bought a 30 Pack of PBR prepped some chicken for a barbque we're having later and cleaned up my apartment for our party. But really thanks for remembering me and I'll try to be a better intraweb friend. Thanks and regards,
Adam!
Adam!

Ah, yeah that's what I mean, I guess it's pretty sad people have nothing else than alcohol in common and that they need it so bad to do anything, I mean... anything. LAME.

judging by these lists, we're incredibly similar... fake boobs and nipple piercings break my fucking heart. it's like, why?! 
love the Appel pieces. how proud the parents must be! sarcasm aside, they're very striking, and kinda gleefully rebellious.
Bouville - received some photocopied sketches from Faith the other day (in the post; she's moved to bloody Brighton) and they're looking good so i've asked for the originals to scan. looks like we won't be going live til August, but it's worh it to have Faith involved again.

ah, breaking up dixie with some reagan now. good. eris was also cute, as i think a lot of the now archived girls were. actually, i think some of the nicest looking girls one the site - full stop - are archived. kind of sad really.
bestiality and lists - a good combination for any journal entry, i think, especially where listing pet peeves is concerned. i think i might do some listing of such things myself next journal, of course the 'peeves' will be a longer list than the loves list, no matter how hard i may try to make them of equal length - you get grumpier and more cynical as you get older, or at least i have, and think most of the world has gone down the toilet since the early nineties - internet, cheap flights and the ability to download music instead of having to buy albums to for one song you happen to like by a band. . . 'it's not like it used to be,' as i'm often heard chiming.
funnily enough, most of your pet peeves match some of my many. i've alwyas hated phones, laterally in dundee, i got a lot of telemarketers calling me up, to the point that for the last six months or so, i just never plugged my phone in unless i was going to call someone. interruptions of any kind, i have a problem with - phonecalls are part of that, but likewise, i can't stand someone trying to talk to me when i'm writing or painting - i basically have to stop, and generally, glare at the person doing the talking until they go away. sofie basically knew me well enough by a year ago to know that if i'm painting, she has to go be in another room, or out of the flat completely, but yeah. . . i'm one of those people who just can't focus on doing something with people hanging around distracting me.
i stopped listening to the radio - in the uk at least - in about 1992. and at that point, i was only listening to radio 2.
as for middle grounds. . . you would hate people here - no nation on earth loves sitting on the fence more than the swedish do, it's almost like they're incapable of having a clear on concise opinon, as if it's wrong to strongly feel one way or another, they have to be smack bang in the middle so as not to offend anyone. . . that pisses me off, mostly because i respect people with strong opinions most, people who're passionate about what they think, and believe in - and sitting on the fence just shows. . . i don't know, a lack of conviction.
end notes on books - ditto. when i get to the end of a book, i'm done, i don't want to read so dissection of what i've just finished reading.
and fake boobs. . . yeah. there have been a few sets with those gone up lately. sort of cringe-inducing, really. each to their own, but i just think overly enlarged boobs look bloody awful. i'd rather have a girl with no boobs at all - know what i mean?
ah well, enough of my rambling. how'd the skizzenbuch?

Baby, that depends what you mean by job. But I'll find you one. Hell, I'm a friend, a companion, and I never need winding (okay, so sometimes I do).
And oh, yeah, thanks for the compliment on my photos!

turning corners is good. glad to hear it.
well, you could write an entry about how your filthy soul looks, or you could do another massive images-only journal like you did a few weeks back, though i'm not sure which is actually more telling of someone's state of mind - words or images.
anywho, yeah, got to stop boasting about the sex. maybe that can be my new years resolution, along with actually going and getting my hair cut instead of just letting my girlfriend do it, which is fine, until it gets to a particular length and it gets to looking a bit lopsided and i look like one half of my noggin is bigger than the other. aye. . . it will be new year soon nough though - still don't know if i'm spending christmas here or there, and our visitor (ie, my mother) has been a wee bit of a headache, so - we're even les sure. sof wants to spend it in scotland, i want to spend it here - probably just because her stepdad is such a great cook, and christmas to me is all about eating lots. the presents i can do without, it's all about christmas dinner. . .
but yes, stockholm- lots of scultures like that, and never where you expect them to be - they can just kind of appear in the middle of a residential area, which is kind of cool.
i'm about to start working on some larger stuff artistically having spent the last month or so doing head studies, so, i'll throw a badger in there somewhere and photograph the stuff as i go, maybe, capture the process of the painting from start to finish. . . or something.

silveronthetree:
Thanks loads for the links to your poems.
I read through all of them and liked them very much.
Climbing through the windows and the way it has to be are my favorites but there is something to take from all of them.
Would I be correct in assuming you are a little religious? If so you`ll find that book I recommended even more important to read. Its got some intresting `revelations` in it.
Here is a link to the only poem on here of mine. It wasn`t recieved that well as you`ll see, but seeing your work and people`s comments has inspired me to write some more. I`ve not really done much poetry since school, other than the link below. I remember doing a couple of sonnets so I thought I`d try again for a member. Anyway have a look.
Hope you`re well mate

Where did you come from? And where are you going?
Questions asked of journeying heroes and the like in many folk tales, especially Russian and eastern European ones.
"Where do you come from? Ivan Tsarevich, and where do you go?"
From Genesis:
'And he said, "Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go?"'
I just like these questions. They remind me of...

i would have to say i agree with you. (pretty soon your going to have a full page of vervain comments...this is getting out of hand!)

hey, i never thought i'd go fishing. in fact, when sofie used to talk about going fising, i slagged her off, but, it turned out, i had a bloody good time - it's relaxing, something i thought was a cliche, plus, you get that primal 'i catch my own food, cook it, eat it' thing, AND you know you're getting fresh fish, which is more than can be said for nipping down to Tesco.. . .
anyway - i did good, i caught a fish, a nice medium sized bass which then got cooked over a log fire beside the lake. . .
wasn't i saying that i wasn't the outdoorsy type like a fortnight ago? yeah, how things change - fishing one day, and then i've been back to the lake since to go swimming, which was great. me, sofie and a whole bunch of her friends. all female. yeah, it was an enjoyable afternoon. . .
anyway, mother dearest arrives late saturday night for 12 days. we're going down to stockholm to meet her. great city. i want to move there, but sof's having none of it. i guess it's comparable to being in scotland and your significant oterh saying 'hey let's move to london'
so i can sort of understand her reaction
anyway, how's things?

Yes! Exactly. I'm with you on that one. Stick around and scout it out a bit more, see what kind of fish I can catch with my particular brand of bait! 
I've spent quite a bit more time posting and debating on the 'Lifestyles' board (as much as the damn speed of the site will allow my patience to tolerate!). There's an interesting series of threads by an "everyman's artcritic" that has sparked some heated art talk. I've jumped right into the middle of it, waving my dick in the air and setting off fireworks. Okay, maybe not that extreme, but it's been a trip!
So, I'm scary when angry? Good!
I think I just have a knack for finding that "zone" where I can upset the cart without really hurting anyone or causing (obvious) damage. Biting, cutting humor tempered with compassion. And I do not mind cutting when I feel so strongly the urge.
*
Baby pink and blue... sickly pale-yellow, misty white. Oh yeah! I can make it work!
One idea: A tall canvas, hard-edge divided in half horizontally, pink on top, blue on bottom. Smooth monochrome color. Within the pink top, tape off a smaller rectangle that leaves a border of pink on top and sides, and meets the blue, paint it white, and dab it with pale-yellow wash. Inside the white, some of my signature black abstract monoprinting.
I can see 'em clear as day.
But usually, if I can see 'em that clearly in my head, they just don't translate well into the outside world.
Oh well...

well, you would think that much licorice / licquorice (whatever it is) would have that effect, but i think all the meat they eat over here probably counters it, i mean they take it to extremes with stuff like an equivalent of black pudding which is like ours only even more dense, and blood bread which is. . well, bread with blood in. it's pink. some of them actually live on that as a diet. . .
well, it's raining, so our barbeque is off.
but you know, all i really want this friday night is a fish supper, and i can't bloody get one i think we'll end up spending christmas in scotland though, so it'll be straight off the plane and straight into ayr to find a chip shop.
take care

if you thought that shit was cool, go to YouTube (when it's back up) and search "tom waits old boyfriends" for an unreal clip of an ancient TV performance. it will kill you.
