I'm not the greatest writer in the world, but I am actively trying to improve. I node pretty frequently, because I'm always writing something or another. From now on, I'm going to keep a little journal explaining my last few writeups in here, so if you're ever confused by a writeup of mine, come back here and I'll try to explain what I was going for. I appreciate any and all feedback, especially the negative stuff because that shows me what I could be doing better. Please feel free to drop me a /msg about how my last few writeups could have been better any time.



About my last few writeups:

Can I tell you how much I want to smoke you, like this cigarette? - Poetry, but probably not very good. I was trying to express strangled infatuation -- a love hate relationship, of sorts; wanting to be with someone constantly, whilst hating them to death at the same time. Confusing, but the title sums it up.

Durra, Pakistan - I've always been interested in the people of the Khyber pass and their lifestyle. All the numbers in this writeup are true, though the characters are made up. The E2 Geography Quest made me want to do this, I'm not sure if it qualifies as a real entry though.

Why shouldn't the government offer health care? - Some people have said this writeup is incomplete and needs to be explained, but I don't think so. In fact, I actually tried to put a short explanation in the writeup, but nothing seemed to feel right. The point I'm trying to make is quite clearly stated by Mr. Jefferson himself: Government is instituted to protect the peoples rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Please don't take this writeup as an attempt to interpret the words of the founding fathers. Rather, look at the writeup as a moral statement in and of itself. If you believe the purpose of government is to protect the people's rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, do you think the government is doing a good job if every day thousands of homeless people suffer from simple illnesses that could easily be cured? Many more homeless die every year from the same easily curable diseases. By what moral code is this fair or just? Capitalistic ethics?

Last Cigarette of the Night - an introspective take on what I subconciously associate with cigarettes. Meant to describe what a cigarette is like to a non-smoker. Also meant to explain (mostly to myself) why I smoke in the first place, so that I might, one day, kick the habit.

Get over the self-absorbed "I'll never sell out" rhetoric - the above writeup was a bit ridiculous, and I had some relevant experience here. True story.

BMI - pretty self-explanatory.

Corporate Sponsorship is a true story that some of you didn't like. I guess I can understand that most people think "threatening to sue" is kinda harsh and shouldn't be done unless absolutely necessary, but I disagree, especially in this case. My actions were completely justified: that's why they refunded my money. If BoA wasn't in the wrong, why bother giving me the refund? This isn't the first time I've had to use these tactics to convince a corporation to play ball. Microsoft, Mercedes-Benz and even Comcast have also responded well to these tactics, though initially unwilling to cooperate. I think it is absolutely essential to use the tools provided by the government to our advantage. Hell, that's what they're there for.

A guide to nightlife in South Florida is pretty straightforward. I wrote this one because I genuinely think people need to know these things. I remember when I first moved down to Florida I wasted a lot of time and money because I didn't know what I know now.

O clone is a joke, and it's just something I wrote up real quick while I was bored. It was prompted by BookReader's comment: "/me opens the airlock on clone19. clone20 will be better anyways." It's not really much, so don't delve too deep.



Quotations I liked:

"ok i need help here how do i find A page that tells me how to make meth helpa gal out here"
-life sucks

Everyone! Your ATTENTION please! Our noder friend clone19 is the same guy as that guy who a few years ago was in the papers because his grandma had sex with one of his school chums. Welcome him to the site!
-TheDeadGuy

Why don't you find a girl appreciative of large penises instead?
-Swap

I knew a guy who experienced a petite vortelli mismatched time shift while receiving oral sex upon his personage and when he outshifted he was in the passenger seat of a Durango with a girl driving who had a lot of semen on her glasses.
