don't look.
A being that only thinks, and thinks abstractly, has no conception at all of being, of existence, or of reality. Being is the boundary of thought; being as being is not an object of philosophy, at least not of abstract and absolute philosophy.
- Lil' Jon, "Bitches are the new Metaphysics" (2004)*
I just finished some short fiction for a contest thrown by The Austin Chronicle.
2000 wds. of hot literary rock, italicized booty-shaking and ethnic theorizing. the only reason I entered it was for some historical reconstruction: when I was in fifth grade I entered a short story contest and got booted out because I wrote too much (think pre-Word Count days, people). years later, losing the uphill battle against deadlines and word counts is what made me write this song.
let's move to France and write novels about Pookey Blow.
