Watched the english patient last nite. i really love that movie. i know it is long, and some peole think very boring/sappy, but it is really a great movie. makes me long for a time passed. sometimes i feel as if am living in the wrong time. or that i feel a desire to travel the world when it was a bit slower, a bit more innocent. Like what you see in movies. Casablanca, indiana jones. i know it sounds like i am probably off kilter, but there is a romance to it maybe. America was a different place then. I would have loved to see NY City immediately following WW II. last nite before watching the movie i loaded all of my writing that i had on 3/4 inch disks in to my laptop. I have decided that i am going to make an effort to publish my own little chap book. this blog that i go to written by jami attenberg (whatever-whenever.com) well she has published a few books, two of which being self published short stories, called instant love and instant love 2. My plan of attack is to go to the few independent bookstores around here in Long beach, and Rockvlle Centre, and see if i can get some shelve space, or even a spot at the counter. of course i would have to give the store a cut of the profit, which would mean i would have to go and figure that out. i would print out a certain amount for the first printing, and then hopefully after the first priniting sold out, print more. each time being careful not to print to many, so as to have a surplus. i think it is totally possible. i also would like to print my great uncle's story of the a typhoon that his landing craft weather in the south pacific during WW2. well this post is a definate rambler. ithink i am going to go into the city saturday for a Canisus ALumni party. yeah i know didn't go to canisus, but its molson beer, and buffalo wings.

    Cool! Go for it! Good luck with publishing!! I hope it is as fufilling as you wish it to be!

    I understand the idea of living in a different time. I always thought i was born too late.. but not going back quite as much as you. I reckon i should have been born around 1959, not 1969... that way i would have been around for the first generation of the 'punk' movement...

    My only complaint about living in the past is the things i have now that i would take for granted. Not just cool things like me being able to type this to you on my computer and you can get it on your computer... But simple, basic things. Like the advances in feminine hygene products!! How about mens socks without garters? Stuff like that... things we don't even know we would miss.

    LOl... i didn't mean the fun secy garters women wore, i meant the ugly ones men had to wear on their shins to keep their socks up. Elastic socks weren't around yet!

    No, i wouldn't have been a hippie or a beatnic... if i was born in 1959, i would have been a teen or young adult when the 1970's punk scene happened. I wish so much i was there when all that happened. Discovering the Ramones first hand!! Seeing the Sex Pistols? Wow..!!! Instead, by the time i discovered my love of it all, it was gone... and only the second generation was there. Which was cool... but i wish i was there for the first generation!

    haha... my dad still wears sock garters. That is when he wears socks, which is next to never. We all tease him about the garters.
