Live in the literal, think in the metaphorical.
Should’ve said “me”
You said “me”
but should have said “I”.
Because I despise
the lies
that people tell me about being young
and naive, with my head in the clouds.
But fuck no I won’t bow
to “age before beauty”
because y’all are closer to dying
so you’re lying, and trying
to save your blind old asses,
can’t you see the times are rapidly changing?
Furthermore I find it amazing
that people are content to remain in
this world and not start making
it to the one they want to live in.
So lets talk about changing
and not just try to fill in
the blanks that were ignored
by a billion baby boomers before
us because they became bored
with all that they had.
And I’m not mad
it’s just sad
to see
that you were saying “I”
but should’ve said “me”.
Reading Joseph Conrad in the Context of Film
The expirience one gets from reading Joseph Conrad is best explaid through the metaphor of watching a film. Conrads hyper descriptive style does the unfortunate effect of extreme confusion of the reader. There are dozens of pages describing the setting and then there will be one page that describes all the action. Only then to be followed by another twelve pages of details!
To be fair the third part of the book is pretty good. In this part the story has a fairly good balance of action and description, which just makes the previous two parts even more annoying! The reader asks themselves why couldn’t Conrad have just written every part that well? For those of you who haven’t read Heart of Darkness, its like watching Apocalypse Now while being slapped in the face with a hot dog every seven minutes. I belive that’s how most people feel whem reading Joseph Comrad, no?

Two Thoughts
Firstly, people oughta slide more. Like, when you’re walking, just try sliding from one room into the next. It will make your walking experience more enjoyable, and it adds some flair to peoples lives. “Oh shit did you see that guy? He slid into the next room!”
Secondly, in Japan it must be awfully hard to slam a sliding paper door.
The Ron Paul Sensibility Function (A Joe DeGraff Original Equation)
Rep. Ron Paul of Texas is an interesting character. A former flight surgeon turned hard line conservative, turned champion of the libertarian movement, turned bat shit crazy presidential hopeful. He has been in the politics game for longer than some voters have been alive, and in his 30 plus years he has made a lot of statements. So many statements, in fact, that some people find it hard to make sense of everything the man has to say. That’s why I, Joe DeGraff, your humble interpreter, have come up with a quick and easy way to make sense of Ron Paul.
It starts like this: Take X, whereas X represents all the statements Ron Paul makes.
