Man, have I ever told you guys I hate trees? I mean, it's nice that they contribute to the carbon cycle and all with their carbon dioxide and oxygen business, but they're always in my way when I'm trying to view a sunset or other such natural wonders.
Seriously, man! Be cool!
In any case, I'm not much of a writer but I do enjoy reading. I haven't had time as of late but even so. One thing I find interesting in entertainment is the depiction of… various things and how they sometimes end up as an everyday stereotype, like the representation of blindness with milky white eyes. One thing I enjoy reading is mental illness.
Sometimes the person just ends up spouting incoherent gibberish and smears feces all over themselves. When viewing case studies it's interesting to see that despite the incoherency of their statement, there is still a very visible sense of logic and rational thinking behind it, in a sense. Ideas, regardless of incomprehensibility, still have a very linear sense.
I think because of that I end up highly respecting Gogol's "Diary of a Madman", disregarding the political and satirical aspect of the story, the point of view managed to give a very convincing inside look of the man's mind.
Anyways, I find it kind of weird to think of the story as humorous, whether or not it was meant to be a farce. I regard that in the same vein as how certain people today find schizophrenia funny or in the past when people would stroll through the asylum to gawk.
Well, speaking of intent, what to think in the situation of when an author's intent differs from what the reader gleans from the piece? Also the idea of context, like how currently I'm reading Don Quixote, or any classical piece, I have to keep in mind the time period of which it's written.
Speaking of that, it's an interesting idea to think of writing or making something while always keeping in mind of the future and the context it would have in the future. Does anyone do that? It's usually always thought of in context of the present and compared to things in the present.
Ah, y'know what? Whatever, man. I better stop before this keeps going. I need to finish cleaning the houseeee. eeee. e.
Jesus, why did I write so much? I promise less next time!
