Camus put me to sleep.

How sad!

"Stranger" by Camus is one of the very greatest pieces in the whole literature, be it prose or poetry. It's written very poetically anyway. It's so profound. Camus shows a wonderful insight into human nature. It's all about freedom, and about the price to be payed. Camus does not say any of it, he is a poet, he shows.

Not read it. Well, I don't think that was it, anyway. I can't honestly tell you what I did read, or try to read, by Camus. I want to say it was a selection of essays.

My diffident recollection shows well how little attention I paid to it, leading an introspective mind to wonder if the problem lay not with the work, but with the reader. Hmm.

Heidegger ain't exactly Shakespeare, nor are the others.

Camus put me to sleep. There, I said it.

oh my. why would they want to be Shakespeare?

 

[annaswirls]

poem:

Heidegger made an appearance somewhere
within the last week, some photographer jumps
off stuff and photographs himself during the fall,
it's supposed to represent the being thrown
out into the world or something.

I took a couple english classes
all we did was read Heidegger,
then skimmed Sartre, Camus stories.

Million years old teacher
wrote the most obscure of
obscure books on Heidegger.

Someone always had to reference
"Heidegger the nazi"
and the teacher would spend the rest
of the class defending Heidegger.

"Heidegger the buddhist "
was also a popular one to
pull the teacher off topic,
someone would say he read the buddhists
and then wrote his pop bookie.

Those were the cross-major classes,
the philosophy kids didn't want to talk about
stories like Nausea.
I didn't either, I wanted to talk about
Hannah Arendt sucking off her prof
underneath his desk.

Well, I guess if Heidegger had literary aspirations instead of philosophical ones, perhaps he might have. No clue. It was a random name from English Lit.

 

[Epmd607]

If I saw a poem like that on the new poems page I'd spend days abusing each stanza. Heidegger actually wrote some published poetry. I've seen it and it's terrible, maybe it's better in German. He was like the foremost scholar on Rilke or somebody for a couple years. Baffling.

Camus wrote 'the plague' aka diary/journal of a plague year, I remember Defoe's better. If Merleau-Ponty wrote a story it'd probably be the boringest of the existentialists. I like English Major type books better, rather read all of Remembrance of Things Past twice instead of No Exit once.

Einstein wanted to play the violin and I have heard he was terrible. I think it all goes back to Tzara's assertation, it is Okay to Suck

I don't know how to do the trademark symbol.

Better to suck than be stuck.

That is my new slogan.

Actually, my assertion is Do not be afraid to be bad™, which has a slightly different emphasis—more on not letting a fear of looking incompetent or silly stop you from trying things rather than it simply being OK to be bad. Roughly, but not quite, the same thing.

Can I suck too?

************

Thrice denied she hangs
Suspended from the cross
Decorating your wall
With her devotion
And her anguish

In your silence she searches
Aching, thirsty, lost, forgotten

Why has thou forsaken me?

Abandoned to her craving
She sinks into her darkness

And there in its depths is the quiet peaceful center
Where the beauty of her ego is irrelevant
Where the structure of her fantasy is invisible
Where the story of her life is untellable

Still hanging from the cross
The cuffs and cords sustain her weight
And she floats quiet, empty

And the sound of your footsteps
Simply brings a smile

If you are happy, she will be

I'd second this. The Stranger is a great book. Stylistically fabulous, too.

I really like The Plague too, but the other things I've read by him, not so well.

hey but wait, you made me pay royalties for using your "It is okay to Suck" theory! Which is it, Tzed?

I actually meant exactly what you said below, don't worry about not being good at everything you try, just focus on growth and experience.

I Don't Want to Get Over You
Artist(Band):The Magnetic Fields


I don't want to get over you. I guess I could take
a sleeping pill and sleep at will and not have to
go through what I go through. I guess I should take
Prozac, right, and just smile all night at somebody new,
Somebody not too bright but sweet and kind who would
try to get you off my mind. I could leave this agony behind
which is just what I'd do if I wanted to, but I don't
want to get over you cause I don't want to get over love.
I could listen to my therapist, pretend you don't exist
and not have to dream of what I dream of; I could listen
to all my friends and go out again and pretend it's enough,
or I could make a career of being blue--I could dress
in black and read Camus, smoke clove cigarettes and drink
vermouth like I was 17 that would be a scream but I
don't want to get over you.

Anna - thanks !
I could hear the lyrics clearly - sometimes I have problems with that
And it certainly addresses feelings we likely all have - I certainly do!

I forget about Macs (I assume you mean you have a Mac) as I never see them at customers. I have a couple friends that own them. My wife and I have six PCs between us, so I'm pretty Windows oriented (though one of mine is primarily used for Linux).

Loved that story. So happy you reminded me of it. I had to leave a lot of my books behind when I moved overseas. I will have to re-buy and re-read that one. One of my favourite quotes, one that has resonated with me since I first read it as a rebellious 15-year-old anyhow, (though I can't recall the whole proverb, but it did have a profound effect on me at that age) was from Kafka. What I remember is that a man met another in a desert. One man asked, "Where are you going?" The other responded, "Away from here, away from here, always away from here" It was apropos at the time. These days the story has a different meaning for me. However, this is all aside.

I like windows and I really don't have an extreme problem with Explorer, either.

If the little hump-backed geeks << channelling Billy-Bob here >> would stop exploiting windows life would be perfect. Otherwise, remember, you get what ya pay for...

Ain't this the truth.
