The Boyfriend Who Cried Static“How did you forget to call me?” Megan demanded—she had waited forty minutes for a phone call delayed by poker, and a man who had put all plans out of mind since his shift ended, to deliver the call. Alan was worried that she was angry, but arrogantly knew that she would come around eventually. She loved him too much not to forgive him. All he had to do was bide his time like he had so many times before.  “I’m sorry hon. Work wore me out and I totally forgot we were going to Denver tonight.”  “Don’t try and shift the blame—you worked the same hours you always do—and you’re alway The Boyfriend Who Cried Static

Breaking the RuleIt was too crowded in the theater before the man sat next to him. Too dense, too absent of fresh air. There was a polluted smog wafting around that was undoubtedly the scent of several dozen individuals breathing out into the theater, the trace of nacho cheese lingering in their saliva turning sour as it was digested, the hint of buttered, carbonated belches, the pre-existing odor from cigarettes and morning breath unachieved by the concession stand. The room was vile, dimly lighted by the twenty foot fabrication of Edward Norton dancing about the screen and the seven or eight luminescent cell phone screens that had ignored the request at the Breaking the Rule

What's Good For YouOn the news today they were showing the brand new PDAs that just launched up north. They were pretty neat, much more advanced than anything we’ve ever had. Actually, to be fair, it’s very likely they’ll end up revolutionizing how we use electronics. But Rob and I weren’t about to let this pass us by too. Not like every other gadget with the intention of making life easier that had been produced in the last ten years. Scoping around from the sagging, mold colored couch we sat on, we found everything of value we could spare, grabbed our paychecks, and emerged from our meager living space carrying archaic discs and mp4 player What's Good For You

Earth is BurningEarth is burning. I wish I meant that as a metaphor, some flowery overstatement that means we are only on the verge of apocalypse; that if we continue our path the world will end; that there is hope and potential to fix everything; that we’ve been cruel to our home, that we could change our ways and keep living, forget our conflicts, unite, and intervene in our abuse of this place. But I don’t. The earth is burning and there is nothing we can do to stop it.  I wish I could envision the future. I wish I could be writing this for future generations. I would love to end up being one of those key writers in history, terrified of th Earth is Burning

I don't care about page views!

Journal Entry: Tue Feb 17, 2009, 1:15 AM
(..if you'll visit my page more often!)

If we all decided to abolish our pageviews and ignore popularity here at deviantart, pushing the popular artists from their pedestal and raising the under-appreciated ones to where the popular artists landed, because there wouldn't be discrimination about what to look at or read based on what's popular anymore (seeing as nobody would have pageviews, thus making everyone equal,) I'd have a good chance at getting more attention than I have now, right?

Right?

On a related note, I've turned on the "pageviews suck" option to make a desperate statement that talent does not always go hand in hand with popularity. I only hope that talent can be found without it. Which is what I was hoping to achieve with this change. (Assuming that the talent in question is mine--and being the narcissistic bastard that I am, I do.)

Mostly though, it distracts me from wishing people would read my work. But, ironically, it puts emphasis on how little comments I have that are also proof of how few people read my work. Oh well. Bitch, bitch, bitch. That's all I really do.

P.S: Is it completely perverse of me to have thought all this time that the 'lazy' mood (below) was an emoticon of one smiley face going down on another one and that it wasn't just an obese smiley face sleeping on a chair? Because I did just until now.

Planted somewhere just a few miles east of the Rocky Mountains, I attend a relatively unknown university seeking a degree in English with which I have optimism (that I hope isn't ill-placed) that I will somehow, be it through various tiny royalties from as many publications as I can muster or a just novel I've yet to write and the hopeful income to follow, end up with the means to procure a domicile that will grant me access to indoor plumbing, heat, electricity, a regular supply of food, and the ability to write for a living.

That said, I would be willing to sacrifice the luxurious details if I could still eat regularly and write as often as I would like.
