Oh! I feel it.

I feel the cosmos.

People need to stop talking like Napolean Dynamite. It's becoming the next Austin Powers, in that it was only funny the first 500 fucking times I heard it. Of course, maybe I'll change my mind if I ever actually see the movie, but the thing is, I no longer want to because I feel like I've seen it vicariously through others already. Gosh!

What am I up to lately? You didn't ask, so I had to. Between running, trying to finish some books I've had for several months, playing with vector art in Photoshop, finally learning some Capoeira songs (after more than a year of playing, I'm just now learning songs = I suck), practicing the berimbau (this I am not bad at), and fleeing BG/Nashville every weekend, I'm getting really good at not being bored when I'm not at work.

Jesus, my writing is becoming more abominable every day. It is abominablizing. I think I need to read some more literature, as opposed to news articles (which are supposedly written at a 3rd grade reading level or something), so I can remember what actual prose looks like. Any recommendations? This Dave Eggers book is pretty good and all, but he's got his own style that I will not try to ape/bastardize. I need something more standardized and less stylized. Does that make sense? As a senior in high school, I took a class called Advanced Writing, but I mostly just remember writing a lot of Tool and FNM lyrics.

My nose hurts from a meia lua I took in the face yesterday. I love getting my ass kicked.

I could not help but feel a little embarrassed by that movie... I guess it struck too close to home.

As for reading... I read this and that a little while ago and found them both enjoyable. I do not know if they will improve your writing style as they are both translations. Though, perhaps, your writing shall become translationalized.

I am the stupid.

Too close to home? Did it remind you of yourself or your brother? Does Napoleon spend half the movie using money he earned washing dishes to purchase pornography (aka "stuff?")

No... Napoleon does not wash dishes (at point Q?). But he is socially ackward like my brother, which I am uncomfortable with.

This is not to say I am full of social grace, but I at least try to keep the damage I cause to a minimum.

Cuchara!

I'm socially awkward (another misspelled word)!

Look, I don't even let people know my true identity! I hide behind my 'anonymous' moniker! I could be anyone!

BWAHAAHYAHAHYAHAAAA!!

I am glad that you can take joy at the misspelling of others... I think there may be a german word for that, perhaps Schreibfehlerfreude. Misspell that fuck-job!

Note: The last sentence makes no sense in this context as I was the one originally misspelling shit.
