Yesterday I passed out, without having drunk any alcohol; it was psychologically interesting. One moment, opening the door and feeling queasy, next moment coming to on the floor with no idea where I am.. made me think about what i'm doing right now

chimps commit suicide by overeating and rape

To date, the steam locomotive is the only engine built by god or man or anyone else's hands that by its very function destroys itself. The human being, by its nature of action, can only find its own demise through the contradiction of that nature. Self-destruction is a most noble effort, and by its very nature serves to fertilize and enrich the species on the whole. To fill the lake, sometimes you must drain the riverbed. Fortunately, you are writing it all down for us, so existentialism's out the window.

Since when did existentialism have anything to do with self-destruction or not writing thigs down

i wish i had the exact wuote here, maybe someone can help me,

"Writing is purpose, purpose freedom."

my little asode there was a meant only as a notation that writing so wonderfully and essentially as you do in a public forum denies (properly) the depths of eX, and glorifies by the light of the Word in darkness both the path you are walking and, if you are looking for an ism, pure journalism. The word is your Hegelian Other, and in its reflection (as you can tell by how people comment and reflect on your posts) your words are become higher than simple responsibility.

paradox is the only reality; contradiction the only truth: if i see an ism i challenge it. Sorry if it gets annoying.

...and the all the lemmings committing suicide thing is only a slight myth-derivation of the reality. Not all of them die.

Yeah I probably should have said 'existential act' or just not referred to existentialism at all... I meant it really in the sense of affirming a free existence, free from deterministic causality, predictability, etc... I don't like Sartre much, though then I need to read more of him.

More specifically, he has some awesome ideas, but is a theorist; he makes intricate theories about things which should never be pinned down in any way.

first off: fuck sartre. read "the MAXX" or just the stranger and be done. He says it all there anyway. The Maxx is a much more fun read, though.

my copy of the stranger had a drawing in black ink of a shadow on looming approach to the foreground, with a caption that read: "the duck man cometh." Even though i knew what i was reading, the whole time i kept expecting the duckman. It really made it a much better piece.

based on your last sentence, i'm also going to STRONGLY reccomend THE THIRD POLICEMAN by Flann O'brien. Just remember: try not to read the preface
