Well said nigga, I hate those pussy ass niggas

pretty decent senpai, thanks for asking

might go to liberry later

Doing well, anon. Finished Mann's overrated The Magic Mountain and am currently bumping KRXXP$XT and drinking White Horse. Thinking about reading Jurassic Park and orating Hart Crane tomorrow. Right now I'm enjoying taco-seasoned mushrooms and bell peppers and sipping on cheap Kirin. Tonight is good. Bang DOOMSHOP.

I'd kill you both with a single punch.

>>11047285
>A single punch
Doesn't even use mind power... Pathetic, pathetic pussy ass nigga. Get on my level fagio

>>11047285
I'll smash your kneecaps like walnut shells

>>11047274
I have been before doubt you have been in a single fight in your life, spectator
>>11047281
What are you planning on getting?>>11047282
How does one orate Hart Crane? >>11047293
Based walnut shells poster

>>11047303
I have to present on Crane, so I need to prepare for recitation. Lots of reading aloud.

>>11047303
>What are you planning on getting?
no idea, i just make myself leave the house semi-regularly otherwise i get panic attacks when i hermit it up too much and have to go out eventually.

i'm just larping a person with places to go

>>11047312
Ah that sounds great. Public recitation of poetry is a lost art

>>11047325
I actually skipped work today because i could not bring myself to go and talk to my coworkers.

>>11047326
It really is. I hope only that the audience is willing to embrace ambiguity. I've recited Crane before, and it wasn't that great. Had loads of questions about clarification instead of probing after the reading. We'll see how it goes this time.

>>11047330
i did that in 2012

haven't worked since

>>11047268
pretty decent desu.
i'd been planning my life goal, things to do before my inevitable death.
if my health is good enough I probably survive for 70 years more.

>>11047350
you'll be mad when you're 40 and you still have to adhere what some teenager thought was the good life

>>11047339
I need to read Crane have been getting into Wallace Stevens lately
>>11047341
Would prefer not to amirite?
>>11047350
Quick rundown?

>>11047366
>>11047368
a few goals that I had been able to put front for myself:
1. Listen and appreciate all good music that ever been composed and produced.
(so far ones that I really enjoyed would be G. Frederick Handel, Swans, Death Grips)
2. Write my own novel.
3. Write my own short story, and published.
4. Shooting my own feature film.
5. Shooting my own short film.
6. Appreciate and approaching the styles of world greatest auteurs.
(Robert Bresson, Tarkovsky, Bergman, Tarr, Lynch, Kieslowski)

>no. 2 probably one of the hardest goal to achieve.
>no. 4 probably the hardest goal, especially in term of the cost of making it.

I am interested to live an ascetic life, probably by following a sufi tradition, but still haven't had a concrete achievable goal for this to write it down. This is for my daily routine, a day to day basis.

>>11047409
Sorry for a late reply. Sufism is appealing but i cannot really believe in any religion. I guess nature is my religion but i don' t want to sound like one of those people.

>Would prefer not to amirite?

liberry will be for another day

I smoked part of a joint in the bath, became overwrought with anxiety about getting fired and my porn habit and then read some of The Plague but put it back on the shelf.

I recommend learning about the ancient Cynics if you're interested in (one of) the origins of Western and Near-Eastern ascetic tradition. Here's some books:

Pretty compatible with irreligiosity and in a way a bunch of nature worshippers.

>>11047268
What book is that?

>>11047779
the plague is a very comfy novel though, in a strange way. i recommend finishing it.

i also recommend not smoking weed if you have anxiety and not consuming pornography at all.

>>11047785
Cool I am going to try the Sloterdijk one first since I am somewhat familiar with him.

>>11047804
The Plague
>>11047804
The anxiety of weed eventually subsides and it is very relaxing to my body. Porn is entirely corrosive to my mental health. I can't tell if is bad in itself or if my somewhat religious upbringing introduced a toxic level of shame regarding sex into my perception.

>>11047823
I don't think that one has much value as a historical work on the Cynics though, more his own typical twist on things.

>>11047843
i will look through the others then because my idea of the cynics is typically fuzzy

>>11047852
If you want a real entry level intro this guy is alright:

Lol I should probably stop reading in the bath. My books keep getting soggy >:(

>>11047409
>1. Listen and appreciate all good music that ever been composed and produced.

Stopped reading.

1. Good is subjective.
2. That's impossible.
3. Just listen to what you like. If you're 10 minutes/2 songs into an album and not enjoying it then move on.
