"Hire you a horse? For ninepence? On Jewish New Year in the Rain?"
...............-Baldric
You know what, I should be funny.
I am funny.
.....What I mean is, I should write funny stories...just let myself explode all over the fukkin' place. I can still feel those mental barriers, though. I'm tethered; I can't defenestrate myself.
Things I enjoy:
.....Action and laffs.
.....Big guns
.....Light sabers
.....Explosions
.....Sex and laffs.
.....Large breasts
.....Atheletics
.....Explosions
.....See? That's funny.
I don't write often enough. That's me main problem at the moment. I've got my mornings, but they get sort of bogged down and I seem to have less time every day. I don't really want to start getting up earlier, so what I should do is start putting my fist where their mouths are. If "FUCK ALL Y'ALL"really is my battle cry, I should start using it.
.....This really is the first time I've been aware and alive in ages. This is a great time for me...still plenty of problems, but I AM HERE. I think it's true...all the old metaphors are burned away by the thrashing of the Burning Man and in the last moments, RY-TUR, Demon of the Whirlwind, is born.
.....There's a new sheriff in town and he goes by the name of "Muffin". He's the chrome plated heart throb, the patron saint of oohs and Oz. Where he walks, the sun blushes. When he spits, the ground swallows. There's a genius on the march! I'm a word-totin', bullet smokin' son-of-a-bitch that won't take
less than a hunnerd percent. I'm San Diego bound! Comics or bust!
..... I'll take the bull by the horns and kiss him full on the lips. I'm fakin' it, I'm makin' it. The finish line is miles away, but I got fuel to
burn me to hell and back! Slide on! Slime on!

Swamp Thing isn't just a metaphor for six years ago when I was young and coming into this persona. It's a lifetime of richness and discovery.
.....here's the realization: Next week in San Diego will be the first time RY-TUR, Jack of Nines, has ever been there. It's a time to learn, to grow. I may not get an interview with a publisher, I may not get offered work or even the time of day. What I will do, though, is meet people. And I am very fucking charming.
.....If I can convince myself my stuff is good, I can look at it. And then with a little more confidence, I can let my friends look at it. After that, it's not too hard to imagine letting acquaintances look at it. And if I can do that, brothers and sisters, I'm made. Because everyone down there in San Diego is a potential friend. They are my tribe. I will meet artists. I will charm artists. I will tell them I am a writer and they will believe me. And then, and then...I will say, "Yes, and I can write something for you, you know. What is your address? Here is my card." And then we, as friends, will be on the way to working together. This is business my way. This is the place where I have power. And you should NOT have come here!
.....I AM RY-TUR, AGELESS DEATH KNELL FOR THE OBSOLETE!
.....MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My widening circle of influence. My deep deep roots of power.
Norrin Rad will eat my dust as I gaze into his silvery mirror.
