Tarnished, not Guilded



I tried again today to write the narrative.  I wrote it for a long time.  It sucked.  I'm afraid it won't get written.  It is terrible, I know.  Everything is.  Perhaps if I let myself make things up, if I just created events that didn't happen, it would fly, but I can't do it.  I want to tell what happened in an unbelievable way.  I want to guild the tale rather than tarnish it.  Perhaps it will come to me later surprisingly.  This is the danger I run of doing everything live rather than sitting on it until it is complete.

Of course, that might not be the problem at all.

  1. Perhaps you are just being too hard on yourself, Selavy.

  2. This picture advertises the constraints of its form. It neither invites nor incites. Her hair is wrong, and you know this, you knew it then. It is forced. Her eyes are baffled, dull and wrong, exaggerated, terrible.

    This image is emotionally flat. It is a double-sided posture and reveals nothing of importance, about life, about her, about you, about that which we already don't wish we did not know. It reflects much less than is shown, but in the wrong direction. In fact, it says nothing at all, beyond what you've already told us. You chose poorly, out of need, out of wonderful life-giving need.

    But, it is a cheapness, a falseness, that your fans refuse to accept, they only have the dignity to ignore.

    Most of all, her tattoos are on the wrong side of her body and you did not bother to correct.

    This life is flat and flat only.

    More, CapeDelazy, more.

    I forgive you, my photographer.



    No, I'm just kidding, this girl has reel potential.

    Send her a link to our blogs.

  3. I wrote that just to see if I still could.

    I believe in her handfuls of wall. They tell us, flatly, all that we need to see.

  4. It was meant to be a joke. A senseless criticism amidst ceaseless praise, etc.

  5. Not many people say anything at all about the photographs. I must continue to be my own biggest fan.

  6. I'd say I'm a slightly bigger fan right now, somewhere around 230 lbs.
