Anyone with a heart, would love you 101 times, dear.

I can make the blood boil, and the heart pump fast...

 

and then you speak

 

Sometimes "Ego" Can Be Such An Ugly Word....



Cheers Glen.

 

Yeah, but you just can't deny the truth..

 

Everyone goes and is crazy in their own way. I have never met one person who is not dysfunctional in some way. Dysfunctional is not necessarily meant as negative in this statement.

What defines crazy at any point in time is what we as a society set as the norm. That we change the parameters on levels of sanity all the time is perhaps the craziest.

 

insanity is overrated by people who don't know what it is but find it "trendy"

 

Bukowski is about as "trendy" as The Elephant Man. The dude was/is a total outcast. The academics ignore him, while most folks laugh at his poetry. Not exactly a rock star. But to each his own.

P.S. His fiction is what sells in America.

 

You are spot on. Big time. For example, was Frances Farmer really crazy? And did Kurt Cobain's lyrics (written many decades after Farmer's years in a state institution for the insane) reveal the true story of an individual at odds with a collective society? Hell, yeah. There was a time when women knew their place. Be pretty and silent. Or else be punished. And she was. Big time. But does that make Frances Farmer crazy? I think not. She was beautiful and brave. Period.

Some people never arrive at crazy because they lack the vehicle needed to get there.

 

Wise words.

These are terribly boring people completely and utterly lacking in human creativity. There are different levels to both creativity and "crazy" but the correlation is almost direct, as one increases so does the other (until an extreme or asymptote is reached such as schizophrenic psychosis).

 

youre just full of gems

i got there on a canoe!

 

Well- there are few that would argue that I'm full of something but opinions diverge wildly on the topic of what.

 

Bukowski and Farmer are terribly boring? Okay. :leaving:
