I hate writing disclaimers. I find it aggravating.
I like having any reader think, 'what the hell is he thinking?'
I think its an intriguing puzzle and its interesting to note who actually bothers enough to try and decipher it.
Instead if I write oh I took drugs last week someone will invariably think I took drugs. That would have absolutely no consistency with how I write and who I am. I never admit anything drastic, out in the open, unless it occurred very long ago. I don't even write people's names in here. I like it being mysterious and sometimes I like people getting the wrong idea. I always thought it would help them to try to find the right idea. Make it right. Interpret it however, but know that I'm a good person and I don't write things to make people feel bad or concerned. I write so they can relate and maybe learn a thing or two about how I think. And also, I write in here for me. I enjoy it.
Can symbolism go too far? Is it only human to make certain assumptions? Yeah, thats true. I guess some things that are obvious to me are not to everyone else. Also, my metaphors only relate to a point of what I'm talking about. If I relate two things, that doesn't mean every single quality about it is exactly like the other. I'm not good enough where I can find an object or idea that is flawlessly similar to what I'm talking about.
I don't even have that many readers any more. Just.. don't freak out if you read something you disagree with. Be calm and talk to me if you can't figure it out.
