He wants to tell you about himself, his life, his problems and all the reasons why why he wants his balls wrecked, and it takes a long time before he spreads those legs.

I’m married to an older woman. I love her completely. She wants to see me fucked by a guy. Fucked in front of her. I’m straight in terms of sexual attraction, but the thought of being raped by a guy while she watches makes me extremely excited.

Hiya! I’m Colin. I am a high school senior who is recently 18 (as of 1/21/2020). I am looking for someone who can torture my legs. Someone that will be happy to hurt and ultimately destroy my legs in anyway that I want and you want.

PISSINGISMYLIFE, 19
Adolescence is a developmental period where young people are maturing physically, emotionally and socially as they transition into adulthood. One of the most critical developmental tasks during adolescence is the development of a unique and personal identity.

Adolescent development is influenced by different levels of social interaction within multiple environmental systems, thus a range of individuals, peers and communities can play a significant role in an adolescent’s developing sense of identity. When these influences are negative, psychological distress among adolescents may result, especially for those youth who identify as slave.

Okay I’m just gonna be honest about what I want even though most will turn away.

I genuinely want to make your life easier.

Here’s the caveat.

I’m only into gorgeous muscular men who are way out of my league.

I recognize my worth to these men is zero.

I am a thin, nerdy Norwegian wuss and nobody really wants me.

As a consequence, I’ve never had a boyfriend.

Instead of moping about it, I thought a little harder about what else I could offer these men besides sex and companionship.

The answer: my time, sacrifice, and service.

It’s a long-shot but have me come over and shovel the snow off your driveway. Tell me to wash and wax your car. Errand boy, pedicurist, chauffeur, etc.

I also massively worship intelligence.

If you’re a jacked, intelligent, stunning looking hunk and just need more time to do important shit, get in touch.

I have stared reality in the face and am here to make the best of it.

I know I don’t make the cut as your lover but I might stand a chance as your butler!

Nipplebuddy – Feb 22, 2020
I’m really turned on by the idea of inviting you to my place, then making your shoes vanish. You’d then be hopelessly stuck in your bare feet and you’d have to do as you’re told if you wanted any hope of getting your shoes back and freedom from that terrible ordeal. It would give me a cock like a baby’s arm.

I NEED TO BE PUNCHED HARD, BEATEN, TORTURED AND NEED TO FIND PEOPLE WHO ARE INSANE.
I also like to beat and torture younger guys so if you’re a teen and want a beating let me know.
Now living in PLYMOUTH & PAIGNTON but I visit my parents’ villa in Spain regularly.
There are somethings I don’t like like being shitted in my mouth but if you want I will do it!

Comments

noshitsherlock (Owner) – Feb 20, 2020
It goes without saying that every beating or torture hurts but the question is how much.
I personally have a deep pain threshold so no matter what it was its never even annoyed me.
One man really cut me up with a knife and that was a totally different story.
He made his first incision which was a bit of a sting like getting a tattoo but after he put this numbing agent on it, forget about it!
It went totally numb and I didn’t feel ANYTHING at all and just watched him slice me up, it was crazy to say the least.

badluckguy – Feb 20, 2020
You’re into pain, I take it?

baammbaamm, 21
No, I am NOT looking for sex. I’m NOT looking to be beaten up or tortured or any of that stupid shit. I’m looking for something solid. Someone with whom I can laugh and cry (I cry A LOT), someone who will keep trying to fix the relationship instead of throwing everything away with every argument (I argue A LOT). I want to have thousands of happy memories with the person and be able to tell the person how much I love him in 50 years (although I like much older men so he’ll probably be dead by then, oops sorry).

Comments

baammbaamm (Owner) – Jan 15, 2020
OK if anyone cares I eventually gave up my search because everyone wanted tons of sex. SO I now work in customer service 🙂 call center work, most of which is solving people’s problems that they generally caused themselves. I can’t say much as it’s a government dept but it’s relatively good money and being casual I can usually afford an overseas trip every year or so so can’t complain…..actually yes, yes I can, people are stupid.

Possible to grab a night with you before DrWhite stabs you or gdawg82 cuts your genitals off?

gdawg82 – Jan 29, 2020
I like to perform exams that include a thorough genital inspection with a variety of tests and experiments such as cock mangling, tourniquet bondage, use of clothes pins, needles, pinwheel, extreme temperature adjustments via urethra, electro, sounding, and, with your permission, circumcision, castration, and finally penectomy.

Cavern0u5, 18
Hey there, I’m Fonzie. I’m a freshman at UW-Milwaukee studying to become a clinical lab scientist. Essentially I would be one of the behind the scenes people at clinics who do the testing on patients. Outside of school though, I’ve decided that I want to really get myself out there and binge on huge amounts of rough sex both in and out of the bedroom. As far as what I already know, I’ve been into eating poop since about 6th grade. I also recently got into being brutally flagellated and am really loving it so far. I’ve also got a smooth ass and I’m just dying to get it matured and stretched way the hell out.

He’s an artist and musician. Actually, he does not paint pictures with oil — he just does photos, videos, movies, music — all of it is some kind of strange. But that’s not what we care about, I guess? So yes — who cares, I just thought it was interesting. That’s the point.

wanna play while mom is at work?

I’m looking for an obsessed adult neighbor molester/innocent little boy home alone rp scenario. The more realist the better. Big fan of being tied up and pantsed and deflowered at weapon point.

I also get really horny thinking about getting in an “Uber” that’s supposed to take me to school but it ends up being the car of a neighbor that’s obsessed with me who parks it somewhere secluded and then ties me to a headrest or something and rapes my ass.

Ideally I would become a brainwashed part of a private family all of who are obsessed with molesting me, wanna adopt me as your son? I’m really, really attractive.

I have a simple kink: watching a guy freebase. I am looking to find a guy who would let me watch him freebasing or even to share pics/vids of himself freebasing, and I will try to satisfy your kink in return.

Anonymous – Feb 7, 2020
Don’t waste your money on him. On the one hand he visible diseased (seropositive, others), on the other hand he is burned by drugs and has no erection. He starts ok but drops immediately to a listless dazed lump and while that means you can go crazy on him you will still cry because it is not going to make you feel anything.

I used to be spanked as a kid. I hated it then, but for some reason I feel like I need it now. I don’t enjoy being spanked, so I need someone that doesn’t want me to like it.

I can’t take a lot of pain, but I wont stop him if he is punishing enough. I want to go bad kid vs. dad and give up all control, and be completely spanked.

I’m still a bit shy about this, and nervous about being naked around another man. After talking and making sure you’re sane, I want to give up my ass to whatever you dish out. I couldn’t say stop when I was younger so why now?

I have accepted the dominance of the genie of the lustful limitless slave within me. I have finally coming to grips with my long-hidden cravings and can express my “submissive” side WITHOUT FEAR OR SHAME. I have found my Master-God, a leather wearing beast in a mask with animal HORNS. The knowledge of being collared and leashed to this masked Master thrills me in ways I never imagined. Serving the Master-God and his cock and lusts are the cravings of my soul. My HORNED Master-God has churned the darkness within me. He has confirmed the power of his Horns on me and invited me into the dark realm with him. We are exploring all of our lusts as we explode together in passion and the wildness of the animal within.

Sup I go by Joel. I’m not here to mess around. I’m strictly here to get completely fucked and remade. I worship cock. I worship in the Church of Testosterone. I’m completely ready to give up everything else and get hypnotised and brainwashed and only live to satisfy cock. My feelings don’t matter when it comes to this unless you give me very weird vibes. I’m also down to talk about whatever from Herman Mellville to snuff films.

He is currently in my care undergoing intensive three week brainwashing and reprogramming. The following personal attributes are among those I am in the process of invalidating.
He was in undergrad
He went clubbing every night
He played soccer
He could barely be pried away from playing video games
He ran track in boarding school
He was a published movie critic
He considered himself “arty” (but wasn’t)
He was(?) hoping to attend Harvard Law after undergrad
He liked to please, but not to an extreme
He had a minor recurring role on a Disney Channel series at 14 (hence the mask)
He had a long distance boyfriend in Newport, RI
He was a nazi about safe sex

You look perfect and I want you! You will double as my art model. You can not be afraid of controversy. I do not do porn art. Enuf porn artists that it has been wanked to death. My experience with boys has been kidnapping them, flogging them, fucking them, keeping them in cages etc. I am the real thing. I can take you places you’ve never thought were possible. And yes, I can do hypnosis.

IF YOU ARE UNDER 21 YOU DO NOT HAVE MY PERMISSION TO VIEW THIS PROFILE. LEAVE NOW.

Hello, I want to explain what I’m looking for at the outset so there is no misunderstanding. I’ve been looking for this for a long time without success but I’ll keep this profile open on the off-chance that a person looking for someone exactly like me may contact me. I wish to be enslaved, to live a very short life, permanent and total. Complete dehumanisation, initially through corporal punishment to numb me and make me indifferent to any usage. Body modifications may be extreme since I will never return to any ordinary life. You decide if I eat, where I sleep if I live that long (outside on the ground in the dead of winter?), as long as I’ll never lie on a bed again ever. You should welcome me and immediately incarcerate me in the cell in your basement never to see the light of day again, ever. Once I sign my agreement of service, you will within 24 hours have me snuffed out, either with the help of your friends or yourself. I have no idea, but if there are any naturally genuine Masters who could give me a brief place in your life and then dispose of me instantly and violently please contact me.

Dear Master,

Everything chould have been so perfect, but life ain’t a fairytale

I feel the wellknown feeling of my blood dripping down my arms. cooling it down with its bittersweet smell, I close my eyes and drift away in the well known pain, flying away from my troubled life into a bittersweet dream of my unshowen pain.

I feelt the pain, anger and hate growing steady up inside of me for years, filling up getting ready to burst out. oh how I fear that day that I will snap and all my feeling break free and control me.

There is something inside of me that doen’st mix. Something I can not fix, something thats not right. messing up my mind, cutting open my scars makeing me bleed.

Why am I so good at hidding my feelings, Why did no one see my despreat cry of help until it was to late and I was far gone. into the world of darkness where all you meet is your own pain following you as a shadow, that torments you with your lonelyness and despair

why am I doomed to sit here in my dark sorrow, planning my revenge while you are out there living free of worries and pain, while I sit here torn into pices dreaming and seeking of salavation and happynes, all I wish to be is saved from this living nightmare.

I Scream for help but no one hears it I reach out for help but no one catchs me. I lie in a pool of my blood bleeding in my room where the door is gone the windows shut and the walls comeing closer. I cant breath I cant think I lay to slowly sufficate.

Love is a slow killer. reaching in thoucing your heart and mind closing it down to mistakes torturing you until you are on the edge of insanity for then to leave you for a while to come back and scar you even deeper down until you are only one big wound waiting to heal.

I wanna see you lie down in the corner bleeding and bleeding until you are so drie that you cant breath. I wanna enjoy every moment of pain you get for every single time you hurted me I will get you back a million times worse ! you did this to me you made me sick you made me dark you made me !I will never forget and I will never forgive !

You sicken me. how chould you do it ! how could you stab the knife in my back so deep when I trusted you the most of all. how can you life with the fact that I got tortured right in front of you and all you did was watch me crying inside for help ! how chould you say I where yours and the betray me with out even blinking with your eye. all for you own benifit not thinking on the pain you may make and the hatred you may wake.

I despise you I hate you you sickness me ! all I wannna do is feed you my year long restend anger and unleash it upon you with so a fearsonme strenght that you will tremble to you kness and beg for mercy for all the things you did. but I will never show you mercy I will suck up every bit of joy and happnies in you life until you are just and empty shell a slave to my mind and command until you are so emptyheaded that you are like dead then I will be satisfed then I will have my revenge !

I have feelt the hate rising in up in me I have feelt the anger grow along with it. and its an anger and hate that will keep burning and growing under my skin as long as I rember you. so long I havnt feelt your blood dripping down my skin knowing your dead then my hate and anger dies along with you

This world is going to be a scary place for you now you have woken the demon in me. a demon that will give no mercy no plea can calm it down before your blood is spilled over its face and you bones broken and your heart have stopped beating, you bones ripped free from flesh and boiled an feeded to the crows of death follwing.

Dear friend reach out your hand a catch me I’m falling. help me up and hold me tight dont let me fall into the blackness save me from this hell and lead me to the light. help me get out from my solitude in my shell and heal my wounds with your laughter.

Heaven wont have me hell wont take me i wonder alone in the dark abyss waiting for company. walking a.round in darkness seeking listing to the sounds sournding me hopeing it to be a friendly face.

I sit here in the cold dark, only with the company of my inner demons trying to break free. I try to hold them back, but they wont stay inside they wanna be free and control me in a stream of emotions I bleed inside Wanting to die hopeing to life. seeking a way out of the pain in my head all the memories all the scars keeping ripping open. take me away from this hell, take me to heaven let me see the light at the end of the tunnel as long as I get away from theise demons thats buring my soul from the inside.

My love for you is like a flame that wont die. it keeps burning me. when I see you my heart breaks at the sight at what I long so much to hold but cant have. to see your face is like being in heaven and being tortured at the same time. the memories of you still haunts me. your yells your smell your fists your whip ohh I miss it. come back to me dont leave me in fury dont hate me dont close your heart. I love you until my last breath until my eyes close and my heart stops.

I cant stand the pain. its in my head. its in my bones. its in my veins. its in my very soul. I cant fight it, cant cure it, I need help, it burns. help me. bring me a cure. make it go away, stop it. it bleeds inside it rips me open. I fell sick cant escape the pain!

I dont cut my self because I’m sad. cutting my self is a pleasure to me. I cut my self to fell the pain of the wound. to fell the blood dripping down my arms until I’m allmost unconsius. to smell the sweet smell of my fresh blood as it runs over my arms. to hear the silent drops fall to the floor into a big pool until my cloth is all covered and bloodspilled.

I have digged my fellings away buried them 6 feet deep. cant fell a thing so just say what you want about hate me ditch me try to break me. you will never get succes I have turned into an empty shell. but beware if you try to break me. I will take you down with me. down into the darkness where I’m used to be but where you will be scared and alone listing for noices unknown. voices of pain wich I have brought with me on my part of emptyness.

The sun goes down the moon goes up. the leaves fall of the winter comes. the winter rain pours down. the circle of life goes on even tho you are not here anymore. you have become a part of nature. a part of me. your the spring flowers popping up every where. I miss you. I miss you like the birds miss the sun. like the tress miss the spring rain. like a caged bird misses freedom I miss you.

Staring at myself through the mirror. I can barely regonise this beast I have become. I cant fell my self under this prison of flesh and bones. I got something inside my brain. I can regonise myself I’m fading I cant find myself where am I. is this beast of a refelction really me. ?

Why do I fail all the time. why cant I do everything good enough like I used to. why am this thing with no life not breath no life nothing to life for. where is the light the strenght to pull me back up. the spirit to guide me. the angel to save me from this hell why can I only see darkness no matter where I turn. why do I only hear the ghosts of my haunted past that plays on my fears until I go insane from the fire of the inner pain breed by my demon.

I will have been with my husband for 7 months in March. I use these apps to find other like minded individuals who agree that monogamy equals “what you don’t know won’t hurt you”. My turn on‘s include guys who are obsessed with my used underwear and the biggest turn on‘s are getting the enema of my hole with the tongues by sexy jocks who wear little bit of leather. My husband does not share these traits and my used underwear is a turn off for him. New to this app but will expect just as much from this app as I do all the others, which is basically nothing.

I am a sweet, cute, cuddly, slender young man, full of tenderness during the preliminaries but then fiery and bestial when sodomized, tho I can be softer when sodomized too. If you like to really work my prostate I can have multiple orgasms in a short time.

Since sex with my friends and lovers has gone so well for the moment, and they have given me pleasure and vice versa if I can be so bold, I want to continue on this path with strangers who, I’m guessing, might be even hungrier for me.

I am free during the week or the weekend, in the afternoon (depending on my schedule) but also in the early evening (last encounter at 8:00 p.m.) If you really know how to work an ass, I am also free for a night with you.

So in summary, God, I just really love sex.

This worthless thing in the fotos is looking for total slavery and captivity for life. this stupid thing looking for to completely disappear and become a true subhuman animal. it lives in brooklyn but is ready to relocate anywhere in the world. it has no family just me and i hate it and can disappear easily. i personally wouldn’t mind it being locked away somewhere and left to die of starvation but obviously that has to be planned for and we will have spoken about this beforehand. This idiotic thing can surrender to you within couple days. Thank You!

p.s. Hey. ** Milk, Hi, Milk. I don’t think he does anything but his island project. There is a story/text about the island that I think is in that book I featured in the post, but I think that’s it as far as his illustrating? ** David Ehrenstein, It’s true that Cahiers’ time has passed and that it hasn’t been what it used to be for a long time. So I guess its seeming demise is natural in a way. And there hasn’t been much of an outcry about it here, so far at least, which says something. I can’t enter the NYTimes, but I think you’re referring to the Gabriel Matzneff thing. I honestly don’t know enough about it to have an opinion. I’ve asked people here, but it seems that no one I know has ever read him. I will say that the few things I’ve read about it in English seem to want to use the case as a context to generally decry France’s history of taboo-flaunting literature, which is dumb and infuriating. That Guy Maddin film is from 2007, but it’s lovely. ** Armando, Hi. My up is up. Today? Looking at art then seeing (again) the pre-premiere screening of ‘If It Were Love’, Patric Chiha’s new documentary film about the making of Gisele Vienne’s (and my) piece ‘Crowd’ and probably going to the big premiere party afterwards. You? Haven’t seen ‘1917’. I’m only remotely curious because I’d like to check out its fake single shot device. I’m not fully awake yet, so I just had a blurry quick read of the two versions of your poem, but I liked the poem, especially the more ‘experimental’ one, which won’t be a surprise coming from me. I’ll read it again when the caffeine actually kicks in. Thanks. ** Sypha, I like a taut 120 pp. length book, as you can easily imagine. I think you know that Lady Gaga is like general anaesthesia to me, but may those like you who feel the opposite enjoy. Fuck knows enjoyment is like pirate’s treasure these days. ** KK, The album’s great. And I just got tickets to see him live or rather ‘it’ as I think is its preferred pronoun. I’m going straight for ‘Luigi’s Mansion’ because, one, I loved the earlier incarnations, and two, since I haven’t used a Switch before, it seems like a good kind of game to play to accustom myself to the mechanisms before I catch up on the last ‘Zelda’ and other more consuming games. I want to read the Amina Cain. Thanks for the reminder. Sure, I’d like to read your Perec-ian story, you bet. Yeah, Brown makes big sense from what I know of it. I don’t know if Robert Coover is still there. But, yeah, I know a bunch of Brown grads, all of whom seem really glad they went there. Chess as structure source, interesting. I don’t know how to play chess. Mine come from all over, I guess. A lot from music. Experimental film is a good feed. But, yeah, I think music, at least of the experimental sort I mostly listen to, is probably the most exciting place to seek structural ideas. Have a great weekend! ** _Black_Acrylic, Hi. I wondered if you were familiar with Avery’s stuff. Yes, that DCA reading group looks very interesting. Cool, there are various writerly possibilities for you then. ** Misanthrope, Hi. The week was a swifty, even on my end. A near-week of no internet. Man, that takes me back. Um, I don’t see any sign that coronavirus is being contained. Not yet. It could be sneaking around wherever, we’ll see. Well, the stock market has been on a crystal meth high for quite a while, so the plunge is basically sanity kicking in, I think. I hope the test results give you ye olde sigh of relief if I don’t chat with you before. ** Steve Erickson, Shit, well, I obviously and fervently hope that your fears turn out to be mere misplaced worries. Let me know what’s going on when you know if you want. I have a friend in strange places who passed me the Tumor, which I guess constitutes a leak. ** Right. Assuming you have a calendar in front of you or in your mind you already knew that this final extra day of February would cause the slaves to exit from wherever they frolic for the rest of the month. See you on Monday.

P. Stewart presents … Charles Avery’s Island *

* (restored)
—-

 

‘Charles Avery arrives, quite by chance, at an island that he believes to be uninhabited. It’s not. Fascinated by how it differs from the world he has always known, he begins to draw and to describe those differences. Like any plundering anthropologist-cum-archaeologist, he brings stuff back from this magic place to show us how the world he has chanced upon differs from our own. Of course, like Swift, what Avery is really doing is using his “discoveries” as an opportunity to satirise our own world.’ — Michael Glover, The Independent

‘In 2004, Scottish artist Charles Avery began making art work based on his imaginary territory, which he simply calls ‘The Island’. A mixture of Cairo, New York and Avery’s own childhood home on the Scottish isle of Mull, the Island is peopled by faint, tetchy-looking women and gruff, wizened men who occupy a world where there is no distinction between imaginary and physical reality. Taking a range of philosophical theories as guidelines, Avery has created a sort of metaphysical ant farm. On the map of the mirrored archipelago that forms his world, clever puns abound: the Analitic Ocean, Cape Conchious-Ness, the Causeway of Effect. The noumenon – Immanuel Kant’s concept, which describes an unknowable thing that cannot be observed with the senses but only conceived of or believed in – is here a debated beast whose existence is unconfirmed but for which the Island’s hunters relentlessly search.

‘Wall texts describe this society’s paradigms, cults, creatures and places. Large drawings and physical artefacts accompany each text, fleshing out The Island as a vibrant place of constantly shifting existence, but the incessant dialectic of which inevitably seems to arrive at an existential stalemate. The drawings are unfinished, erratic in the precise minutiae they focus in on, as if excerpts from Avery’s ethnographic notebook. Like William Hogarth or George Cruikshank’s bustling street scenes, there is a distinct sense of alienation, highlighted further by his characters’ detailed, emotive faces, whose grim caricature recalls more contemporary illustrators such as Daniel Clowes.

‘The gods, like everything else on The Island, are a profane embodiment of abstract concepts. Take, for example, Mr Impossible, who was deemed a god by a trio of drunken philosophers, arguing that owing to his ridiculous physique he was ‘highly improbable’ and ‘therefore he is essential’. The role of philosophy as status-giver in Avery’s project is telling. The endowing act of creating an avatar pervades his world, each aspect of The Island an emblematic transcription or one-to-one analogy of some philosophical tenet. This endowment extends to our guide’s own choice of presentation, using the museum set-up to provide us with a static portrait of this foreign place. The philosophy of this exhibition is meant to be an exhaustive epistemology, a summary of characteristics presented to us with an air of finality and predetermined readings.’ — Chris Fite-Wassilak, Frieze

Quotes

 

“A lot of writers say: ‘Write what you know’, so I’ve based it (the Island) on my direct experience, which is growing up on the West Coast of Scotland, some time in Edinburgh, some time in Rome and a lot of time in Hackney. You’ll find a distillation of these in the works.”

“Film is my most important cultural medium. The characters in The Island are similar to a Coen Brothers film in the way [the Coens] favour the same actors from film to film.”

“I don’t want to it to look like sci-fi, or ‘Hey, this is weird and wonderful!’ I sometimes think, have the people who say these things actually looked? What is so weird about this place? There are a few weird animals, but nothing weirder than would turn up in Australia, they’re just different, they’re completely plausible. The Gods are a strange-looking bunch, but if you look at all the gods human beings have evoked I don’t think they’re particularly weirder.”

“People have perceived some kind of satirical content to this, and there really isn’t. I think maybe people have mistaken my ultra earnestness for cynicism. I don’t see it that way.”

“Some people talk as if it’s a prison I’ve created, but it’s the opposite. It gives to freedom to explore the ideas I want to explore. I might have a drawing which is more about mathematical philosophy, and one which is more about people. If you create a space where you put the things you don’t have to relate them intellectually, you relate them spatially. It’s about turning that intellectual space into a physical space.”

“The Island is not a parallel world, it’s part of this world, therefore it is a fiction. I use the word ‘fiction’ very broadly. History is a fiction, art history is fiction. Maybe reality is the biggest fiction of all.”

 

Book

Charles Avery The Islanders: An Introduction

‘Avery has created texts, drawings, installations and sculptures which describe the topology and cosmology of an imaginary island, whose every feature embodies a philosophical proposition, problem or solution.

‘Imbued with a formal beauty, humour, and a spirit of philosophical enquiry, these vivid and intricate works invite the viewer to recreate the Island in their own minds, and to use it as an arena for exploring philosophical conundrums and paradoxes.

‘This much anticipated book is the culmination of the first phase of a totally unique project created by this very promising, young British artist.’ — Corner House Publications

p.s. Hey. ** David Ehrenstein, I … don’t think I know those Langston Hughes books, but of course now I intend to. Thanks. ** Keaton, Hey! Cool, just hit me up when the time’s right. I’ll be here and around. It’s cold but not that cold in Paris. It’s kind of very eerily not very cold, actually. Edinburgh though, … that might be something else. Excellent! ** Sypha, Hi. Pleasant sounds very nice. I really like the sound of that Pleasant Oregon Trail scenario/story of yours a lot. Cool seeming genre. Hat tip to its inventors. ** KK, Hey, man! Good to see ya! I’m pretty all right, all in all. Interesting absorbed stuff? I saw a Chinese film last night, ‘Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains’ that was a little stretched out but very good. Some art stuff. The new Yves Tumor album. This and that. My low coffee level is hampering the details. I’ve been saying to myself every day that I’m going to finally buy a Switch, and it might just happen this weekend. I’m a fairly diehard Nintendo guy, and I’ll be playing the new ‘Luigi’s Mansion’ first thing. Grad school, interesting. I mean, why not? I mean, that can work, no? Where are you thinking of going, etc.? You been writing? ** _Black_Acrylic, Might you join the Nethergate Writers, or is it closed thing? Could you gather a few other writers/artists and start your own salon or workshop thing once the current one is over? Sounds like that might be a really good idea? ** Steve Erickson, Obviously, I hope your doctor has a way out of the dehydration issue for you and that your body’s mystery is solved. Sorry you have to go through that. The Cahiers du Cinema takeover is very bad. I suspect that will be the end of it. Trying to turn it into yet another clone of Premiere and that sort of vehicle is pointless. Who knows? Maybe film people will intervene and try to right the ship. The American media is just baiting and baiting everyone about everything. I turn on CNN over here sometimes just to see what’s going on through that filter, and it’s just non-stop high drama about every tiny little thing. It’s grotesque. ** Okay. Today I’ve restored this guest-hosted post made by, I think, a reader rather than a commenter of the blog from some years ago about the curious, obsessive and utopian artist Charles Avery and his imaginary island. Check it out. See you tomorrow.
