TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

QuotePoetry Month 2013: Johanna Skibsrud - A Kiss is So Soon Forgotten

QuoteOriginally from Nova Scotia, she currently lives in Tucson, Arizona where she is currently working on a collection of critical essays and a second novel.

QuoteA Kiss is So Soon Forgotten

As the form of a flame: at first, only a pressure. As between sulfur and stone. A held
          breath, a waiting. As for a son, already born. In this way: the world enters,

intrudes. Becomes, again; what it already was: a name only later applied.
          The thought precedes it, as a hand precedes the word, and is not

changed in the account; is, against the blankness across which it moves, only
          afterward leaving its mark, just a general application of its

own desire. So that, even if, in being drawn against that distance, it fails to indicate
          anything at all, or chart the difference between what it is and is not; is still

....

Only the first bit of the poem. The rest is at the link above.

I think we'd need to see some of her earlier work to be sure, but I'm not sure the effect Tucson is having is a good one. Unless SHE is exerting an effect on Tucson.

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."
