I've been keeping all ...thanks for the honesty. I've been keeping all my spiteful essays as drafts and I'm tested by these songs from 1939. They are not only new to me but top shelf compositions.<br /><br />It's living in an apartment that causes this normalcy to invade my writing. I'm content and it does breed lazy writing. I think this whole experiment in living will confirm that the best material is written on the run, with the wolves at the door. That's the best personal mental space from which to write. Maybe that was Dr. Gonzo's trick. He always kept himself an inch from death to keep the material at the peak. Once he got complacent and sober the writing didn't work. For me, the drug is the van and the life on the road. I'm inspired by it but it involves great hardship. I wonder if it's feasible to relocate to Costa Rica and then buy a motorcycle for a three month expedition of South America. I don't want the burden of traveling with so much shit as I've got right now. This isn't Oggy travels mode, this is Oggy finds an apartment and eats tacos mode.<br /><br />peaceOggy Bleacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13199810572777436832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6829472822154103457.post-1453773351017328902015-04-20T22:15:52.272-04:002015-04-20T22:15:52.272-04:00I feel bad when you ask for comments and your body...I feel bad when you ask for comments and your body of work is not eliciting any comment in me. I so want to have a witty comment or a gentle barb to throw at you. I just don't feel challenged by you lately. you aren't pulling at heart strings, you want me to sit down before bed and have a decent conversation. I can't do that. I want to be entertained. Also when you record yourself playing music, put some showmanship in the video. Dance around or waggle back and forth. Show us you feel the music, otherwise an audio recording is fine. <br />AlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
