mindful-

well i guess its about time that i posted a response to this.
i dont know if i can pin down a specific reason for my obsession with this board...
but ill share some of my thoughts here:

as for my fav memory of free...i dont think i really have a specific one. maybe it was when i discovered it for the first time...

nah, i know what it was.
it was when i was sitting at an airport comin back from meetin an OKP and usin their free internet ish in the lobby area...me just sitting there, fighting with the nonsense keyboard theyve got setup and posting the best piece ive written (in my opinion)

of course it fell off the board and i forgot to save it (ufck)

but that gave me the general impression of this board:

"if youre not known, you wont get read."

but hey, im not gonna say thats necessarily a bad thing.

i must admit that i really dont like most of the stuff ive posted on here. so im actually quite shocked when i get positive replies...cause i really thought some of my work that ive posted was crap...
but im my worst critic.

as for why i keep coming back... i think its cause new people are popping up all the time. and its great to have a blend of styles that i can sift through with my cup of coffee/tea/bottled water. its both inspirational, comical, insightful, mind-boggling, and strange at the same time.

i remember being frustrated as hell one night and posting a writing exercise...jayare knows about that one.

i must say ive read some great work on here.

a lot of yall are extremely blessed with very special gifts. i wont go into specifics because i will always forget someone and ill end up pushing this post to 100+ replies because of my scatter-brained self.

its been quite the adventure. the net is a powerful medium of communication...and its great to see that people are using it postively.

so im gonna end the post here and not say anything negative. ive got a lot of those thoughts on my mind. but ima let the backspace key prevent me from bashing anyone/anything.

writing is difficult. true writers know that their work is never done.

we should all have a slumber party together...id host it but i can barely fit in this place.

but anyway...i said i was gonna end the post awhile ago so ill keep that promise.


peace and love, everyone
ladee!

From the Exile of Godaigo:

When I plucked the notes
After many months of silence,
I yearned for you,
And the notes became cords
On which to thread my tears.


From my personal collection:

Sleep with a man
not a man with no thoughts
but a real man
man of emotion. man of shame. man of humility
a genius of his own kind
