Preston Howley III Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 Ice, Baby. Word to your mother. No, all kidding aside... I worked at the post office. Trust me, I'd have no problem pulling a Charles Whitman. If not for Jesus in my life, I could kill people with no problem. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtR05Um3J3g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetophile Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 "Language is a virus from outer space." - William S. Burroughs, one of my very favorite authors. I'm actually reading 'My Education' right now. Great stuff. I do that. I read books, recirculate, read them anew. And speaking of Matt Dillon, 'Drugstore Cowboy' is worth the watch for Burroughs' cameo alone. "Now...THIS, thissssss!" I'll be going back to a Burroughs avatar when I get bored again. Ten, nine, eight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preston Howley III Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 Burroughs is a degenerate. Have you heard his spoken word stuff he did, before he passed? I got Kurt Cobain and Sonic Youth doing the background music (if interested). But getting back to killing people... where was I? Oh, yes. Let's face it- most people deserve to be beaten to death. For example, I go into the NJ motor vehicles office, and get sassed by the 400 lb black woman. I go out to my car, grab the aluminum baseball bat, and brain the bitch. I get arrested, and spend the rest of my life getting *ssraped by one of her kids. Doesn't sound like much of a bargain. Listen, I'm a reasonable guy; I like to weigh the cost of things. I'm a pragmatist and I look at things economically. There is a principle of economics called the "opportunity cost". Now, if I thought I could take a bat to the head of say, 100 people who had it coming before I got caught- and thus had to pay the price- then ok, I'd say it was worth it. It would be a good investment. But so far, there is no guarantee, so no deal. I don't like serial killers, or mass murderers. I have no respect for them. For the most part, they are sociopaths, who seek out the weak and vulnarable. I'm a "potential" killer with a conscience. See, I say you kill people who deserve it; People who have it coming. And not a day goes by that I don't come across at least one *sshole who doesn't have it coming- indeed, they are begging for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a movie made back in the 80's based on one of Burroughs stories. I forget the name of it (I never saw it, at least don't think I have), but it was about "mugwamps". Ring any bells?

Bugg Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Here's a link- http://imdb.com/title/tt0102511/ Always liked reading Hunter S. Thompson, until I actually saw him interviewed. And it only got worse in the last 20 years of his life. Some of his early essays were brilliant. He could've been the equal of Tom Wolf, but if you're going to use hard drugs every day and booze all at the same time, it will burn you up and kill you.In his case, reduced to hanging out with a jerkoff like Sean Penn and then blowing his own brains out. There's something profoundly sad about the way long-term heavy substance abuse ruins a mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something profoundly sad about the way long-term heavy substance abuse ruins a mind. Hunter was a great journalist, he really was. The guy had a masters degree from Louisville. The drug taking was too ostentatious for his own good. He claims he got a stroke from "the bends" while deep sea diving, but I think it was drug induced. In the end, he was a very angry man. His last few books were horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Watch Mulholland Drive. I did. Mulholland Drive made way more sense that either of the other two. I don't know if anybody ever made a movie out of Finnegan's Wake. If they did it would require 20 different actors and no actor would be able to say two words in a row.

jetophile Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 It's all just pointless gibberish to me. Hell, no. Burroughs is pointed gibberish. I'm sure you all know what happened to his wife. Well, if not, him and some friends were playing a drug induced game of William Tell, and he shot her dead by accident. It haunted him for the remainder of his natural life, and was always somehow in the periphery of his writing and general existence. It's why you always seem him with guns. He wore his guilt openly and suffered a great deal over it. Now I don't condone drug fueled creativity, but sometimes it has to be taken in context of the person's life. And, it is amazing to note that you can literally FEEL the heroin when he spouts, that someone could even write at all under those conditions, that there are always threads of disjointed connectivity. Heh, an oxymoron. "They tend to be suspicious, bristly, paranoid-type people with huge egos they push around like some elephantiasis victim with his distended testicles in a wheelbarrow terrified no doubt that some skulking ingrate of a clone student will sneak into his very brain and steal his genius work." Hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hehe. I see where you are coming from. If it weren't for artsy druggies that thought like you I wouldn't have tried to read them in the first place. Personally, I think it's pretty much all crap. Additionally, I submit that anybody playing "William Tell" with his wife is a mental case before he actually shoots her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugg Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 The last time I had the pleaure of "feeling heroin" it consisted of a homicide witness turning a shade of green not seen in the Crayola box, followed by something that looked like a seizure as he peed himself. This happened after a period of working through 27 hours without sleep, so I didn't immediately realize the junkie dance was underway until he fell out of the chair and the urine covered the floor unto which he collapsed.
