On the Beach at Night
On the beach, at night, Stands a child, with her father, Watching the east, the autumn sky. Up through the darkness, While ravening clouds, the burial clouds, in black masses spreading, Lower, sullen and fast, athwart and down the sky, Amid a transparent clear belt of ether yet left in the east, Ascends, large and calm, the lord-star Jupiter; And nigh at hand, only a very little above, ...

Shout out to my sister
Shout out to my sister Kate who somehow stumbled upon my blog.  Don’t worry Kate!  I’m not really living on the brink of poverty/depravity/insanity! I did however—to my sister’s alarm— really do that thing where I threw out all my kitchenware.  And now that I’ve moved back into my own place I’m really starting to feel the effects of the rash, illogical,...

Pretty girls on tumblr
I go to the coffee store to grade papers.  Because I can’t do anything productive at home.  Unless you call just sitting and listening to music productive.  On a Sunday afternoon I can’t even leave the house unless I force myself to turn the stereo off first.  Otherwise I’ll just sit there and keep listening.  Same with the computer.  I’ll just sit and stare at my empty...

My Funeral
I figured out my funeral.  In the past I was contemplating 2Pac Picture Me Rollin or I Aint Madatcha.  And then maybe have some fireworks or something.  But I finally I have the real thing figured out. First of all I don’t want a normal burial or a cremation.  I want a Green Burial.  Basically put my body in a sack, bury it, plant a tree on top of it.  I want to be broken down naturally.  I...

Old Age/Second Life
Humans live 2 lives: 1)birth-adulthood and 2)old age.  And old age is the most mysterious life.  No one understands what it means to be old except the old themselves.  And even they don’t understand it. We focus a lot on the childhood thing.  We talk about it, analyze it, study it, romanticize it, extrapolate from it.  It seems very idyllic and nice.  We put childhood— and youth in...

The primacy of the individual part II
Hip-hop’s defining attribute— and its worst fault— is its primacy of the individual.  Once you wipe away the veneer of the bling, the sex, the girls, the drugs, the thug life, the cars, the money, and all of the typical content of rap music you are left with a primal cry of the down-trodden individual who is lifting himself from dire circumstances.  The me, me, me mantra is...

theblueprint asked: roffle. if anything, nas is the cities of sodom & gemorrah. as in, god rained fire (takeover & super ugly) on said "cities" and destroyed them forever. nas is still living off of "illmatic", which is like revering 50 for "get rich or die trying".

all fun aside, what irks me about nas is that he has the talent and vision to be the greatest (conscious) rapper...

sex-death-rebirth asked: Don't fear Castaneda. My favorite part about Castaneda is that people question whether or not his work is fictional or legitimate anthropological work. I find that to be extremely inspiring.

I don't want to be a cult leader, I want to share my ideas, inspire others to discover their own ideas about the world. I am just showing them that its possible for me, its...

This is what I know
I know that truth is right here.  I know that the correct answer is here.  I know that all knowledge, power, right action, right mind, right truth is right here. The only thing you have to do is align yourself with truth and the right /with the right what????  What was I going to say?  Goddamnit, I figured out all of life and was about to publish it on tumblr but then I must have got lazy and...

I'm Anna, one of the people running the final sentence. I will put your comment about the [brackets] to the person who has founded the project, as I have also always disliked these.
Btw. thanks for the many sentences you have contributed it's much appreciated, although it might take us some time to post them all.
P.S. I'm intrigued, why did you title...

halfstrippedtrees asked: Hello there.

My name is Lydiane, and on behalf of TFS, I would like to apologise for the lateness of this reply regarding your message on the square brackets matter. Your comment, dear sir, is very much appreciated.

You see, when this blog first started out, we all agree--or at least, I convinced the others that the use of these square brackets would help readers to...

Books
Some books I have no memory of reading; I just know I read them.  They exist in my mind but have no connection to the real world.  Some examples are One Hundred Years of Solitude, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles.  These are great books that I think of often, but I have no memory of the physical act of reading them.  I can recall certain plot points, and passages from...

Professional Sporting Events
Probably the best thing about attending a professional sporting event in person is yelling obscenities at the referees, the coaches, and the players. But theknifebusiness, you seem like such a level-headed, cultured intellectual.  What would possess you to lower yourself to such crude behavior?  Can you not control your base emotions?  And furthermore, what gives you the right to yell obscenities...

Reduce Voting Age to 16
This is my idea: lower the voting age.  Besides suing and bribing, voting is the most important tool we have as citizens in a democracy.  And it’s being wasted and underused.  I know it sounds crazy to give 16 year olds the right to vote.  But we already let them drive, and that causes infinitely more destruction and death in our society. First of all, I would probably agree that many 16...

Retard Basketball League
I love playing basketball, and at times I’m even sort of serious about it.  But I’m really not that good.  I mean, I’m better than most girls, and I’m better than most middle school kids, and I’m better than someone who has never played before.  But I have no place in an adult rec. league because those guys are mostly ex-high school or college guys and are way too...

Messages
To me, and this might just be me, the messages I’m posting on Tumblr are funny.  It’s because with the way the message system is set up (did anyone at the tumblr.com corporate office ever think of installing a messaging system that makes sense? Or a site that actually works?  Anyone?) you can’t tell when the message was sent, or what it was in reply to, or what the context was at...

Kids will find any way to cuss.  It’s funny.  One classic Norcal example is hella.  But “hell” is kind of a bad word.  So what do kids say instead of “hella?”  They say hecka. Kids aren’t allowed to say shit.  So instead they say shizz.  Kids can’t say shut the fuck up.  So they say shut the eff up.  They can’t see she’s a stupid bitch.  So...

I honestly don't care
I honestly don’t care.  I saw this thing on the internet about Haiti.  It was a graph and basically it showed that before the earthquake Americans didn’t care about Haiti, after the earthquake they cared about it, and now they don’t care anymore.  Wow, that’s so terrible.  People are so hypocritical and shallow. Also people were saying that the oil spill wasn’t...

LA part 1
The girls and I recently were in the Southern California area.  I took them to San Diego Wildlife park and the Los Angeles Holocaust Museum.  One was about the unbridled cruelty, hatred, tyranny, and absolute brutality that mankind is capable of.  The other was about World War II. /rim shot
