This is really hard to understand. Some of the lines are just mind-blowing, really burning and seriously cool. Other lines suck BIG TIME! Am I the only person that thought this seemed like a wasted opportunity? This person has something really important to say but masks it in some Funky Munkey BS. Its a shame because the consumer-fear-culture we live in is such an important topic at the moment (if that was part of what the author was trying to reach). I think its important to create a new voice, but the displacement here is far too wide to take it all in.

richard dowdeswell!

a comment...ADDICT!
brilliant.
ok good. the pleasantries are done.
i very much appreciate your feedback regarding the silly god thing i wrote. i especially appreciate the words "really burning" "seriously cool" "suck BIG TIME" and "wasted opportunity". it gave me a sense of balance. i'll be honest. i had to look up BS (only to discover the dispicable truth).
the piece was originally just a flippant, faux-didactic journal entry about a book i was reading concerning jean paul sartre's existentialist ethics.
(listen to me, "faux-didactic"? jean paul sartre?...jesus)
the first, slightly more violent paragraph was probably some kind of allergic reaction i had to something on tv or someone who trudged past me on campus or something. so i really should have edited that pre-submission.
but thanks again for your comments... i'll do my best to formulate a comment for your butterknife/fellatio, cat-burglar nervous-no-supper piece (which i am yet to really ABSORB properly).
keep up the good (missionary) work!
over and out.

I don't think there's any need for things to get personal, is there?
