Why do I post to studio eight?

[bohonato]

I love learning about other people and places, hearing other people's views and opinions, and seeing other people's artistic endeavors. Thus, I was forced to choose 'enlightenment and self-discovery'. 'More time than money' was also a strong contender, however.

[stilltrucking]

Thanks for voting bohonato
I don't remember you ever posting anything here that was mean spirited.

I wish I could say the same for myself.

I suppose that is why I post here,
still trying to practice right speech.

I like the choice 'To prove I still exist though just virtually' though i didn't vote for that.

mY REASONS more like to prove i don't exist except virtually. that's differnt.


stilltruckin, you have to correct your kerouac quote or prove the source of citation. I thought always it was "i'd rather be thin than famous / i don't wanna be fat ..." were does he say "rich"?

[stilltrucking]

Ok e-dog I will check it out.

but I have a feeling you are right.

This is the source from a blog

Yep, you are right, I just grabbed the first quote and did not read through to the next post.

This guy said:

Random Kerouac quotes. pretty good stuff, but I'd rather be thin than rich is a surprise.

But then he was corrected by this guy:

His quote was actually "I'd rather be thin than famous," which is funny in an ignu sort of way.

You know I been thinking about it for the past couple days. It just never made much sense to me because if I was rich I bet you I would be thin.

I appreciate the modulation.

morphine..?? (I´m joking again!)

I have to say that I like all the reasons above, so I don´t know how to vote...

[Doreen Peri]

why not?

[Lightning Rod]

I'd like to add another choice

"because doreen makes me do it"

I love a dominatrix

as far as Kerouac quotes are concerned, he mumbled, you see. It's hard to get an accurate quote unless it's in writing. I can relate to that.

because i have two real friends living close by. one is more of a digital artist and the other is a humanity hating socialist...

[stilltrucking]

Bennie I suppose I post here mostly because I miss the road. This place gives me a feeling of trucking. I look up at my globe and I see Scotland, I see Argentina, I see the east coast of the Former United States of America. It gives me the illusion of motion. And that is freedom for me.

Have you ever noticed how bored those women look?

[izeveryboyin]

B/c no one else thinks the mindless chatter (kickback to litkicks) I produce is at all interesting or worthy of comment besides you guys... and a girl likes to have her ego stroked every once in awhile.

the virtuality reality of my existence
presumes me to post
before I forget what my name is
and
who's my daddy

or some such nonsense

my nonsense factor
inflicts its notion to post
where I might reach out
into the cosmos
and virtually touch
something less
than disaster

clear enough?
I thought
not
