            I mangle my library books. Not on purpose, but every time I return a library book it is more bent and dog eared and beat up than when I checked it out. Seriously, every time this happens. Does this happen to anyone else? I feel like Lenny making time with Curly’s gal in the barn.

           

             While I’m not enrolled in school this semester and also can’t find steady work I’ve had to keep myself busy. I’ve been working on video projects, writing, exercising, & music while concurrently taking care of my old man. I’m trying to better myself and get more out of life during my unlucky jobless streak and my waiting period before I transfer to U.C. Berkeley (knock on wood). During this time of freedom I’ve been reading all the great old novels that I haven’t yet read (we can be friends on www.goodreads.com and you can follow my progress). I tend to write short reviews of the book I recently finished because I have a much different taste than your average reviewer and I don’t care for the thoughts of the book reading status quo. If you read many of the other civilian responses to these books very well written reviews by very smart well versed people with big vocabularies who have terrible taste. You’d think that with all that intelligence and all the hard work they had to do to acquire it that these people would have picked up some taste along the way but no, they haven’t. Most of these people seemed incredibly easily entertained. They love giving away 5 star ratings to books that barely merit 3 stars. Or, what’s worse than that is when they savage a novel that is a masterwork. Usually their arguments are illogical, which to me proves that they are not a smart person but in fact a stupid idiot with a smart persons vocabulary. But sometimes they destroy an original one of a kind novel so great that inspires new types of writing with a logical but wrong argument and it is sad. I think gosh, how could they have hated it so much they must really have a high standard. After investigating their profile I discover that their favorite books are Jurassic Park and Harry Potter, books for grammar school children. Idiots. What I’m saying is many smart people are just as stupid as regular old stupid people.

            Has this whiny squawk about novel websites bored you? It is kind of boring. Do you rarely or never read? I can’t blame you. It can be boring and tedious and it’s certainly time consuming. Also it’s hard to find enjoyable reads. I get it. The one thing I’ll say to defend reading is that if I got through a multi-day period of reading and writing, I am smarter afterwards for a few days. I can easily access trickier or rarely used words in my vocabulary and in general I’m smarter and sharper. Who wouldn’t want to be smarter and sharper? A hemophiliac maybe. God I suck.

            Oh by the way I directed a music video for currently defunct Oakland band Hobocop. Here watch it. Here click this sentence if you want to watch it be cool dude click me!
