Thank you fairy Suicide Mother.
Love,
D.
I am very happy, I hope you are too.
X,
D.
And I made lots of new friends.
I've got a girl on the phone, trapped in the middle of nowhere at a weekend retreat/course who is wondering what the meaning of life is and whether anything matters at all. I surely hope it does all matter.
We are all wired into a survival trip now. No more of the speed that fueled that 60's. That was the fatal flaw in Tim Leary's trip. He crashed around America selling "consciousness expansion" without ever giving a thought to the grim meat-hook realities that were lying in wait for all the people who took him seriously...
All those pathetically eager acid freaks who thought they could buy Peace and Understanding for three bucks a hit. But their loss and failure is ours too. What Leary took down with him was the central illusion of a whole life-style that he helped create a generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understood the essential old-mystic fallacy of the Acid Culture: the desperate assumption that somebody... or at least some force -- is tending the light at the end of the tunnel.
-- Hunter S. Thompson
Hey friend!
Think I might have found a cool job too, should know by Wednesday evening.
"I understand why you're jaded with American Psycho and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind in your favourites list. I loved the first. Whether seen as an fictional narrative of a Patrick's sick mind, as inferred at the end of the book, or a true representation of Patrick's world. I was given the book by a good friend who knew that I could appreciate the sick humour which fills page after page.
"And hated the second. I watched Spotless Mind on a day I was homesick and missing my girlfriend - now ex - after almost 3 months in Zurich without her, and was almost suicidal afterwards. It so disgusted me that I felt physically sick. Perhaps it touched on a subject that was too close to me. The movie itself is obviously brilliant for it to evoke this feeling in me, but given a choice I would certainly prefer anything to watching the movie a second time. This probably means I should see it again."
