That’s why I like it. Thanks for giving us that part two we wanted. This is how life goes. You can find little “morals to the story” tucked into some of the events in our lives, but, overall, life doesn’t have a point. It’s stupid and unfair and wasteful. And that’s why I relate to this story, and that’s why I am glad to hear the rest of the story the way it really happened.

That ending would have been more worthwhile had you cut out the cliché “I’m so different and radical that my endings don’t have good endings… you people can’t handle that!” So yeah, instead of patronizing your readers, try to remember that your readers are of the type that enjoy reading what you write, so once you’ve established a following, don’t suddenly turn on them by questioning whether or not they can “handle” what you write.

It is nice to know there are at least 2 people like that out there though, running around, making waves. Having all the crazy, turning, turbid thoughts of a great mind. The thoughts I always knew she had, and the ones that tear my heart out everytime I have have them.

What I like about your writing is the visceral reality of it, the keen acidity of your tongue is, to me, refreshing.

The world I used to work in demanded that one keeps one’s opinions to oneself - that all human interaction must be smiling and proper and courteous and ever so digestible. I’d far rather have looked the boss in the eye and tell him he’s a pompous fuck and that his wife is an intolerable cunt.

I’d rather have whacked the other boss over the head with a bag of cabbage and tell him he’s nothing but an insignificant faggot coward with no spine and less worth than the contents of a boil I had in junior high… that he’s pussy-whipped by his little boyfriend and has no idea of what real life is about.

But I couldn’t do those things without fear of winding up in jail or without a job.

So the blood and guts of your writing is very enjoyable. Happy endings or no, your stories come from the core of you, and you don’t make any excuses, you don’t take prisoners, you don’t give a shit what people think.

I admire all of those things and read your blog with relish. (Hold the hot dog!)

I always wished people would be as interested in my life as I am in yours. What I just realised is that if I present it in as good a way as you do, they just might be.

Kudos.
