    Read my essay please and tell me what you think

    “That is one ugly ****ing table”

    The other day I was talking to Gabe, a friend of mine, when he casually pointed out that I don’t actually do most of the things I say or propose myself to do. And then I curiously asked “Like what?” and then he went on with a full list of things, chores, suggestions, missions, quests, bets, self improvement, public improvement, writings, speeches, talks and any other action or activity that would simply end in the future without something relevant to talk about. Not to mention that most of the examples were meaningless ****. ‘’Oh and like that time where you said you were going to take your dog to the park and actually didn’t take him because you had to do something else”, or “Like the time when you said you and your family where going to the beach with your cousin for spring break but didn’t go because instead you went to Butt**** Nowhere” and on, and on… So then I started thinking how this guy could recall that much events about my life that I could hardly remember.
    So I let my mind drift of from the main of the conversation and went to one of those “dead spots”. The kind when you are mindlessly staring at a table while you are picturing how “X”girl that sits next to you in the classroom would would look naked. This only, of course, if she is hot. ‘Cause forgets thinking about a girl naked if she isn’t hot, in each person’s own definition of the word. And you can go on thinking now about how her skin would feel. And how she might react to your preferences over meaningless **** like floor tile colors; blue over green, green over yellow,” holy **** if I have to choose only between yellow and hazelnut I would definitely go for wood instead”.
    And then you think about how would wood look in your kitchen. And then you drift back to “X” girls tits. And now her personality. And now her pussy. And you go on and on interchanging subjects and thoughts and when you least expect it, now you are picturing how “X” girl might be if she was your girlfriend. And how would it be if she married you, and had a life and kids together over the years. And maybe grow old with her next to you to compare the scars of a well lived life, or maybe she and you got divorced mainly because of that fight you would have about her parents.
    ****, maybe she doesn’t even have parents. And you are still staring with dead eyesight at the ****ing table. And what do you know now you are thinking of “Y” girl’s ***. But before you go on in your thought pattern again. You kind of realize: “Holy **** for how long I have been staring at this ****ing table ”but suddenly your friend or a passerby stranger says“ Hey!” Followed by a “You didn’t answer my question” or “You alright?” “What are you thinking about?”. And then, there I was in my dead spot. When my friend says “What, you thinking about what I said?”. And then I couldn’t for **** remember what was I thinking about.


    And all of my thinking happened in approximately five short seconds. But to me it was a lifetime thinking about something that I know I just thought a moment ago before Gabe asked me his question. It’s in my brain down there, I know for sure, and maybe I got a glimpse of it before it went away. I’ll think “Oh yeah something about what would happen if I killed the building’s secretary by accident”.
    And then the next day I will try to remember the thought again but the only thing that would come back to me would be “Was it about something Gabe said?” “He asked me a question didn’t him?” And then I’ll go through my day without remembering the event of even thinking about that it took place. When then in about a week or so I will remember about that time when I tried to recall the thought I was pondering while staring at the ****ing table when Gabe asked me a question. And I will simply go “Agh, how important could that have been”. Without realizing that maybe, just maybe, in a way I was about to cure cancer.
    But hey, the gorgeous face of that woman I passed while getting to Gabe took some space in my thought pattern and ****ed it up somehow. “Ah, whatever” And then I’ll go back to the answer to Gabe’s question about what was I thinking of.
    And I will casually respond “Nah not really”. And then I will simply move on to pointing out that I actually don’t give a **** about what I do or don’t do. And suggested to Gabe that maybe he could spend a little more time finding what **** HE doesn’t do, instead of stalking my every move while those gay thoughts knocked on his cortex. He took my answer as a crude response. And said that I didn’t have to be an *******. Like most of the time, I don’t know if what I say is offensive, or crude, or bold ; or if it is that the people I chat with are too sensitive.
    After getting home. This whole thing happened back then. A half hour to reality. A ****ing year for me. I guess relativity is a *****. I moved on to more important things to think about. Like what should I do tonight.

The play is othella, I have to turn ion a short essay and I am wanting some good feedback on the women inthe play and wanting to read a one paragraph summary on the play. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi everyone, I'm moonbird. You may know me from The Slam, where I've submitted varies poems and critiques. I have the same screen name there. Anyway, for a little bit about me, I'm an amateur writer with little experience but a lot of love for it. I'm probably one of the younger writers on this site. My other passions are soccer and playing the violin. I also love to read, and by the way Agatha Christie is amazing. I've only posted two things on here so far, a short story called "Initiation" and a poem called "the smoker." I'm trying to get them published on The Slam, so any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a ton!
    If we find the answer, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason-- for we would know the mind of God.

    Hello I am new to this forum... best to say hi for me is to ask
    Accept this, so late this night, as
    Only now I can do this:
    To look to that timeless measure, then portion out those feelings for days
    Feelings, I acknowledge I’ve not wanted for years, but yet in deep secret places
    Deep within my soul, I have to admit I wanted yet denied

    Hi.

    I don't know how to partake in communities. Either I have nothing to say, or I am just shy, I don't know which but I do know that I will spend all my life pressing my nose up against a window, envying the sense of togetherness within. I can't ever really join in.

    Never mind that negative outburst though, I shall try to participate here and be as happy and jolly as anyone. I am just a bit overtaken today by that horrid sense of unbelonging and loneliness.

    My favorite author is Dostoevsky, for his amazing insight into the human mind, and for his passion.

    hi

    Thanks Pensive great idea.

    Hello everyone, I'm Katharen, but most people call me Kat or Kitty.

    I grew up on the west coast of Australia in Perth and I adore it to this day. Now however I'm a college freshman attending school in America, which has captured a place in my heart as well.

    My writing tends to reflect the natural discord in my personality and in all people. Every piece of work, my stories, music, and poetry all hold part of me in them. I am the villain and and the innocent child, but show me someone who does not hold the potential for both, and I will show you a liar.

    I am the still water on a calm day, and the winds that will call up the raging storm. I am an angel and a demon, a nightmare and a dream. I am all and nothing, I am simply me.

    In the middle of Middlemarch

    I am a lover of 19th and early 20th century literature. I am in the middle of Middlemarch and loving the cadence Eliot's prose.

    I have retired (artist) to having a joy job which is teaching knitting - intricate, lacy, beads - the more complicated the better.

    Since retirement, i have decided to read all of the books i never got to in a prior life. Although i find that if i have read a book thirty years ago, i am a different person and relate to the book in an entirely different way. that is assuming i remember it from the first time.

    i am also listening to "Learning to Listen to Music" a podcast from Yale, so i am filled with good music and good lit.

    Hi, everyone! My name is Chelsey. I'm a high school senior and I found this site looking for some insight the character of Hamlet. It seems like a pretty awesome, useful place, so I figured I'd stick around. I haven't been able to read much (besides Hamlet) because of the craziness that is part of being a high school senior, but I hope that changes this summer.

    Anyways, it's nice to meet all of you. =)

    Hi all! Greymure (above) referred me to this forum - he said it's an interesting site with a lot of talented writers (I don't know if I fit that description - you'll have to decide that for yourselves). Anyway, my favorite thing to do is talk about writing - it's so much easier than the actual TASK of writing! I look forward to getting to know you all on the boards! (Oh - and my nic is Demeter's Daughter but that wouldn't fit, and Persephone was taken - hence the hideous spelling)

    I just read this, Madame Bovary, and I really hope that you take the time to participate here. I find HUGE entertainment in some of my online communities, and we're all equals on this side of the monitor. Share yourself with us!

    Hi, I'm tc and just joined tonight...

    I am going to do a group read of Notes from the Underground by Dostoevsky and was wondering if anyone knew who did the translation of the one here on the Lit Network?

    Hello aorund the world!!!

    Hi all,

    It is exciting to be here and it seems to be a really interesting site. I am here for the main reason that I may be needing this site for my lit studies and I hope someone will give me their views on matters that I may have to raise in my next post. English is my second language and as a mature age student, I feel that English can really twist my mind at times especially when it comes to analysing academic literature questions. Yep, mature age student, with three younger children and have not been back to uni for ages, and with nursing background, literature is totally out of my range. I'm currently studying Arts and currently taking up lit as one of my electives. So please helpppp. I will be posting my question in the appropriate thread in a minute.

    Many thanks and it's great 2b here!

    Cheers
