Steve-

The way I see it is that posts on here should be as short as possible.So reality,and I often get keelhauled for being too real,needs must image and metaphor etc.Call it impressionism.Or compressionism.It doesn't always work and it often won't work for everybody.

I could show you brilliant examples in the Scorcese film from the other night.They go by in 2 or 3 secs sometimes and open up vistas which would take all day to explain.Epiphanies Joyce called them.One can change your whole life.Dylan's lyrics do it.

I read that Scorcese and Dylan have never met.If that's true there's one right there.

It's just practice.Remember that it's a film.There's nothing in a good film that hasn't been thought about.Or a good anything.So what was the thinking?

well i liked the dylan film too.

but i dont rate with profound mystical symbolism as you seem to do.

He was a good folk singer, until he got into religion and drugs.

Steve-

There's no mystical stuff.I think that's laid on it for want of grasp.It's a sort of laying bare.Of the artistic psyche shall I say.

"You see somebody naked
And you say 'Who is that man?' "

Maybe just a way of life and it certainly isn't suitable for everybody.It has a ridiculous self confidence which attracts some and repels others. And a humilty which it is easy to not see.

But heaven forbid me trying to make out it is simple.It isn't even complicated.It's complex.You have to pickle yourself in it.

I often struggle to keep up with spenduis's posts.

But it does confuse me somewhat, as I dont know what hes saying actually is profound/intellectual etc, or whether its actually a load of bollox.

Another problem also arises. If spendius did have such a great intellectual intellect, why does he spend every day on A2K? Surely there must be a more 'usefull' outlet for his tallents.

One theory that I could suggest, is in fact that Spendius is not in fact an intellectual, but an intellectual wannabe who uses the internet to pretend to people that he's clever.
It certainly would make a lot of sense, and would explain why he doesnt like to release any personal information at all.
The only thing I know about spendius is that he lives in the UK.

From his manner though. I actually imagine spendius to a middle aged, hansome gentleman, living in a large country manner house, wearing a plum velevet suit and smoking a pipe.

However, if my theory is correct then my presumptions could be completely wrong. He could be an unemployed chavy benifit claimer, living in a slum in east london.

He could look like this:

or even this:

So spendy, whose it to be?

Whoever you want Queenie.It's your fantasy.

I don't know anything about you either except that you have said a few things which might or might not be true.Doesn't the same go for everybody.

That's why I don't do personal stuff.And I don't spend all day on A2K.Everybody who is interested knows that I have a bath at 9.30,sometimes look at the threads whilst I'm drying off and then go to the pub at 10.20 pm to about 11.50.Every night.So I am a creature of settled habits and that I am.And I work.I have a computer at work and where I live and I'm the boss so I can play when I want.

And I have learned a lot on A2K.I have a decent sized library and I follow up a lot of stuff.It's a hobby.I don't need an outlet for my talents.I really am quite contented with my lot.And just like I stick to one pub I stick to one site on the internet.I find people who jump about all over the place tend to be superficial.

I smoke hand made cigarettes because they are better than the ready rolled brands and I don't wear
velvet but I would if the occasion required it.

With a choice of your links I'd pick the third.Is that you?I wouldn't mind giving her a nice big ice-cream seeing as how she looks like she would know what to do with it.

Ha ha. You're hillarious, i'll give that to you.
Maybe I was a bit rude.
Everything I say on a2k is true, I cant remember telling any lies.
No, I dont look like vikki pollard.
When I get a picture on the net then i'll show you.
You can still send me a large dairy-free ice cream through the post if you like. Wink

Why dairy free?

That suggests you are plump or possibly a vegan or having your cholesterol monitored.Or all three.

I can remember you telling lies on here.You claimed that you were drowning your sorrows at the tragedy of getting two Bs and all the time you were secretly proud of your results.You only told us about it in that manner to provide an excuse to boast.

So your crafty.Which is okay by me.I expect females to be crafty as a matter of course.It is a mistake though to underestimate your readers.I knew you were boasting when I first read that stuff.
An A and two Bs is pretty good actually.If I was advising you I would say retake the two subjects and make sure,by hard work,that you turn them into As and then you really could shoot for the moon.An A could be anything but Bs define you to a wise employer and who would wish to work for anything else.

And keep your body in form too.Good luck.Make your Mum proud of you.

No actually, i wasn't boasting. My results weren't that good, I was meant to be applying to oxford actually, and now i cant, but oh well. There a load of toffs anyway.
I know its not that bad, i was just drunk and shocked because i got a b in music Sad And i really didn't want a B in that. See with an ambition like mine, you have to always be the best. And a B doesn't stand for best unfortunately.


Dairy free doesn't suggest im plump actually. It implies I cant have dairy products because i will get a headache.

I really need to get a photo of me and put it on here. Cant have anyone thinking im fat now.

That doesn't mean im not crafty though. I just have a bit of a drinking habit. I am actually feeling pretty crap now since i was up all night at a friends house drinking absinth. Stupid absinth.

Queenie-

Get a grip of yourself girl.

That's no way to win friends and influence.

If you feel "crap" it is your body telling you that something is happening to it which is bad.It may be that not drinking will make worse things happen but that is another story.You have an internal war going on which bodes ill for your cells.

Fit your ambitions to your talents and always remember that all bad things are YOUR fault and not the fault of others.At the mundane level I mean.

Knock off absinthe.Try beer.It isn't popular for nothing.

Sleeping in your vomit on somebody else's bathroom floor is disgusting without any mitigation.

...and also dangerous

people have chocked on their own vomit.

However, thats enough telling off ...

hope you are feeling better Smile

ps whats absinthe like anyway? Never been brave enough to try it myself...

did you feel, before you started to puke, that it gave you any great insights about the nature of reality?

Thankyou steve.
No such luck im afraid, I just felt really dizzy.
Absynth is alright, but its 80% proof, so its quite strong, it tastes like liqourish.

Spendy, thanx for the advice. I do know that though. lol.

I wish i lived in diskworld, then i wouldnt get hangovers Smile
