“My greatest masterpieces of twentieth century prose are, in this order: Joyce’s Ulysses; Kafka’s Transformation; Biely’s Petersburg; and the first half of Proust’s fairy tale In Search of Lost Time.”

Oh…and get pissed off when people don’t give you credit.

Yup…sounds about right.

odds are that you, as a person, you, as a tumblogger, are not a great artist. you can make decent art at best. in one hundred years no one will think of you. live with it (and dont do art).

Almost instantly, Jay-Z, the American version of the American version of the British version of U2, stepped in, and things are still under his control. Secretaries and human resources workers with names like "Linda" and "Tanya" and "Sanya" and "Sonya" and "Tony", all over America, in adorable peacoats, fell in love with his version of the corporate arena rock movement. On any given Friday, you can find 40+ women at T.G.I.F.'s, sipping Volcano Deluxe Cosmos and Virgin Jolly Rancher Martinis, throwing the diamond sign in the air and singing "New Yooooork!" Most of them are from places like Plano, Texas; Cleveland, Ohio; or Leawood, Kansas.

willmccloud:

Maybe the reason certain things are hard for us (like closure, and uncertainty, and our futures) is because we demand that our lives play out like a book. We literally refer to our lives in “chapters”, and we try to piece together what constitutes another “story” in our lives. It’s difficult when it doesn’t work out that way for some reason or another. You try to make sense of the characters, try to pinpoint the conflict, really get into the subtext. It’s not like that. It is, but not in the present. How we see our futures, yeah, sure, that is like a story, and it is most certainly how we view our past (to the point of distorted and romanticized chapters), but we live in the present, and when we’re struggling to turn the page, we get stuck. There are no static characters, there is no conventional plot. I guess what I am saying is: we cannot conceptualize our relationships, people are not that easy.

I think it’s more likely that the causality is reversed. We don’t want our lives to be like popular narrative themes. Rather, popular narrative themes are popular because that is how we want our lives to be.
