List of Ideas

So, back again. Better than the last time I tried to write anything. At times the urge to destroy it all and be silent is strong, but it has never quite triumphed yet and hopefully never will. Though much of what is to follow is worthless, its coming into being alone will bring me more joy than quiet inaction ever will. I am still not sure what this blog is going to become, and will lean towards publishing anything that comes to mind over holding things back to preserve some sort of structure. Hopefully it will achieve some form as it takes shape, or it may just be a collection of entertaining contradictions. So, here is a rough list of future topics for discussion.

1. Confessions of a Second Rate Sensitive Mind, my book of poems, written over a 3 or 4 years span and ending this winter. They are quite personal, honest, and well intentioned, though often childish and somewhat sloppy. This is probably the best place to begin, before essays or criticism, so the reader has some understanding of where all this is coming from.

2. “The Poetry of C Murder”, a strange essay that analyzes some of the poetry of imprisoned rapper Corey Miller. Written in an inspired stoned haze many years ago, this piece still contains some interesting insights. It is a bit long so I will probably break it into a few parts. A good start to the musical and cultural analysis that will hopefully take place here.

3. Talk on Hunger by Knut Hamsun. I need to read this book again before i write a short piece on it, but I remember vividly how it captures some of the ideals that I seek to praise on this blog. Finding humour in suffering, suffering for the sake of a dream, and living through the absurd episodes that make up a life. I will try to find some good quotes to put up here, for this novel is not as widely read as it should be.

4. Talk on Against Nature, or A Rebours, by Huysmans. A very strange book, not so much a story as an account on how to live a life in ones own world of art and secret pleasure, a quest that ultimately fails. Fascinating book simply for the details it contains, I will try to put up some pictures of the art mentioned, catalogue some of the books it recommends, and excerpt some entertaining passages that condemn society and modern life in eloquent fashion.

I will begin with these 4. I will be impressed with myself if all this is actually published to this void of a blog. The ideas that follow are still uncertain, and the list will be added to as ideas appear.

5. Tribute to Ol Dirty Bastard

6. Funny quotes from Nietzsche

7. analysis of “Iron Mic- Eli vs Envy”

8. Praise of Folly

9. Drugs, wonderful Drugs

10. Religious quotes, analysis (Buddhism, left hand path, Osho etc)

11. Notes from Underground

12. Praise for Supreme Clientele

Hopefully after these are written, some more topics will emerge. I will add to this list when I remember more. There is an infinite amount of material to cover when you aim to laugh at absurdity, love what has passed, and think about how you are lost in the vast universe. Hopefully someone will read this, and dare we hope for someone to suggest a topic or contribute some of this sort of idiots wisdom?
