PS-The breadth of your reading is amazing. What fiction are you reading now?

Yeah, I was looking at your pictures. Living in the Middle East (a ghostly sort of Latino beauty, if any,) always makes me want to move back to Mexico and do obvious things, like getting a flat in Coyoacan and eating tacos al pastor with a Bohemia.

Ooh, righteous indignation! Why are you ripping off 80s lyrics then? Go fuck yourself. Everything you write is awful because where anybody else would have taken some of his readers' advice and stopped writing the same crap with the same mistakes all the fucking time, you seem to have preferred sticking your head in a clothes dryer and hitting 'Go'.

The second, I believe. The real point is that people who whine about things whine about American culture becoming a hodgepodge of unoriginal sound bites, used poorly. I don't whine myself, but I think they have good some good points occasionally.

They are happy, but whatever.

Just what I read in college. It's where St Francis Xavier is buried, right? How did you end up there?

Religiously and metaphorically, yes. But, from a literary standpoint, a metaphor needs to work in the literal sense before you can worry about making it work in the metaphorical sense. Consider comparisons like "He was intolerably stupid, Alex Trebek with a better moustache", or "his hands so tenderly caressing the piano keys were miniature David Beckhams sprinting across the cricket pitch". Sure, the guy's stupid, and sure someone playing well is like David Beckham, but the metaphors fall apart, because Alex Trebek isn't stupid and has a great moustache, or because David Beckham is a good soccer player, not a good cricketer. I'm not disputing your actual meaning, which is a good one. But if you have to get a Christian message across by changing the literal events in the Bible -well, that can't happen, can it?

Actually I meant it as a rhetorical question. See this is a famous question/urban legion that a supposed prominent psychologist devised to separate those potential psychopaths from the normal folk. The psychopathic answer: She killed her sister in the hope that he'd show up at yet another family funeral. So congrats, you're not a psycho. Maybe a little schizoid with the multiple answers and all but most of us here are a little wacky like that.

The smart ass answer 1. Mental instability, perhaps a long standing grude, and opportunity. The Stab in the Dark Answer 2. The man was her sister A further Stab in the Dark Answer 3. The man was her sister and she fucked him before being told his true identity A far fetched idea 4. It's really complicated and involves being ones own grandmother type shit. I'm sure you don't want to even hear that one. And my honest answer 5. I have no fucking clue

Please, if I was writing to the tune of a song it'd be far more likely to an artist whose only emerged within the last 10 years. Everything I write is awful. I could steal the writer's digest annual poetry competition's 1st place entry and you'd still think it was awful. I have 2 words for you, drop dead. It'd be far better than coming back here, where like it or not, your part of a warmachine controlled by a man whose snorted more coke at one time than most people will ever see in a lifetime.

"I would that he would fit in the laundry." Yeah that sure cleared it up for me.

Only if I'm implying Fred is Jesus and Wilma's Mary.
