Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

The titles of the chapters alone are awesome. Let us know when it's ready.

As every factoid of what global warming is doing to the environment gets spewed out, so does every smokestack of factory, it continues, and doesn't change. BP made $373m probably in the last 5 minutes, eh?

Congratulations!

I'm really liking "Ever (Foreign Flag) by Team Sleep. It's a beautiful song, but it also somehow captures the feelings I have felt after moving so much in life, from foreign country to U.S. and back, and leaving so many people behind. The feelings you still feel for them, even after you have gone aw...

this is great, especially the "hushed goodbye" part...

I love the way this flows

Vietnam writer
Bar stool napkin poet god
Named Bob was tres cool

Small-time sewer man
J floated on curtain cloth
Lucid cloud design

Saint surfed into life
Went the heart still taken away
Memory ocean

Remember not death
Hang life in reality shelf
Truth will ever be

A man of God started a mall. The town will fall apart unless they get a new spiritual leader. Red hair. Hurrah, another movie theater is built. Thanks, Guy Upstairs. The leader secretly hi-fives Buddha when no one is looking. I overheard the B-man saying "Religion is all just theory of beliefs" At w...

Up holed into caves of these ridges faded ripples of blue Famous movie stars, rolling on their farms Bygone communes of new No more rhymin' That ain't what life is I jump over jagged rocks and small streams my ancestors fished by Deep behind these trees I had to heal Couldn't barely hear shots rang ...

hold me my mountain you always know what to do at night we are closer to the stars the altitude drags us to centerstage the show of dimming lights souls of the dead Bright lights fading in and out Take me inside where I'll feel safe in walls of minerals caves and caverns dripping with water and wisd...

I live about 80 miles from Tech, and sure, I had friends that went there (but this was 6-10 years ago). Usually when you think of these parts of Virginia, you think of mountains, and farm-land and serene. So I don't even know what to say. I want to say something. But I don't know. No excuse for what...

As long as people in government use "hey we need resources" or "hey, they got resources over there" as an excuse to wage war, things will remain exactly the same for a long time.

I agree with you about Coupland. Yet I alternate in thinking that Generation X was genius or also that any of us could have written/whined in a book of our 20something hipster friends who chat and don't have it "financially" as good as our parents did- Coupland just got to it first. And about Eggers...

Ripples thru the air, Page's guitar, smooth. And screams, decadent, a time before I was born. 2 thousandth night, I sit here and think the same thoughts about a different person. In my head I am sitting at the tranquil cult pond, no, not a cult it is a thinker's group, those new age folk, I always d...

I was in this great used bookstore 2 days ago and they had an immense amount of Vonnegut's work, and I thought about how people were always telling me to read his stuff. He certainly had a great impact and respect from all I know who have read him. I never got around to reading his stuff yet. I'm go...
