    WAITING FOR THAT ONE THING TO OCCUR THAT IS SUPPOSED TO CHANGE MY LIFE FOREVER, SUPPOSED TO VERIFY MY NAME, MAKE ME WHOLE, MAKE ME REAL.

    MY FLICKERING REEL FADES MONOCHROMATIC.






    a very powerful an impassioned post from you setaside. these little pieces quoted above stood out for me.

    they also made me think about an exceptional post by goulet from last week....a kind of two sides of similar if not the same coin. or perhaps its just a theme i have in my mind at the moment that makes most everything else i look at lately somehow serve as the means to my own end. if that be the case my apologies to both you and goulet for my subjective interpretation.

    in any case, as always i've enjoyed your offering and look forward to many more.

    And P.S. Radar: it was lovely and all kinds of spiffy to see your ugly mug around here again. Please come back. We miss you. And these nice people (nuts but nice) tire of my tirades. They need you now.

    LEIA: Yes.

    LEIA: (mystified) I need? I don't know what you're talking about.
    HAN: (shakes his head, fed up) You probably don't.

  • setaside2setaside2 Posts: 1,084
    Let's see... I have a few to answer here.. been slackinG!


    TOYWOMAN: I am always about the toys. Although I am sure they are not the ones miss firefairy speaks of.

    Firefairy: your holy shit post count continues to rise (dear lord WHAT are you at again?) and the fact that you still take time out to come over here and read my drivel means a lot. Thanks. LOL and you know, in vBCode, it's possible to cause a sentence to scroll up or down or move right to left, but they have turned that off on this board. :( too bad too, it would have been way WAY too much fun. I would have abused the living daylights out of it, which is why they disabled it, I am sure.

    tenaciousA: completely different from the ballerina, yes ma'am, though perhaps not so utterly opposite... but truly one is certainly about me and one is mostly not. And I love adverbs, I don't care WHAT they teach in writing school.

    kevin33: while I do know my IQ, I don't really put stock into those things. LOL and the fact that my number dropped 10 points since I was a kid proves it. But if you must know, the metal evaporative and Pulse Code Modulation are video recording terms. Metal evaporative is the type of magnetic tape that Digital Video is recorded on. Look for it in stores. It will say ME on the wrapper... Pulse Code Modulation is the section and language of the tape that records the sound. In camcorder manuals it is referred to as PCM 12bit or 16bit. Quick little school there. Sigh. But now it's lost all its mystery. :( and if you REALLY want to know my IQ I'll post it here or PM you. LOL.

    RADAR: I love you. Mostly. Empire was the greatest of the 3, of COURSE. Even though the space battles in Jedi were incredible. here's hoping the new trilogy (which I hear is to be released as a DVD box set soon) gets done PROPERLY. And I hope you are well and I often wonder what you really think about all this writing on this thread. I also hope you grew rich in Vegas and can now support all of us hereabouts. I want to quite my job.

    Gita: Like Marvin Gaye or Ron Jeremy?

    13PJ13: I have no idea why you continue to put up with my shit. But I am glad you do.

    I have still that OTHER unresolved, unfinished and increasingly infuriating piece that has yet to be posted... hopefully it won't SUCK.

    we shall see my dear. I have written many a piece of crap pome in my time. There is no guarantee of quality ever.


    and as per your PM the other day, LOL perhaps I'll take you up on your offer sometime. Should circumstances permit. :D

    it is good to see you up and around.

    Don't quit! It's tough sometimes but its just a test to get
    you through the distraction of something else. That's all.
    DON'T QUIT!! Please don't be upset with me, I was trying to
    do the right thing. Please forgive me? Of course we could have
    been friends as I'd like to remain. Don't be mad!~ Believe
    me I was not a happy camper having to exspound either. BUT!
    as horrible as it seems what good news for us! But I'll under-
    stand your feelings nonetheless. You know, I'm going through
    something similar, perhaps we could create a substitute for love.

    I'm not educated in font manipulation yet, so a response in a special colour for you!

    #1 - One man's crap is another man's gold!

    #2 - Should circumstances permit... ;):o

    #3 - Thanks! I am up & around but frequent the board a little less due to certain unsavory work-related circumstances.

    #4 - All the best - "I'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places, that this heart of mine embraces all day through. In that small cafe, the park across the way, the chilren's carousel, the chesnut tree, the wishing well..."

    Alas, don't expect me to show up at your door with keys to a Lambhorgini stuffed with the roundy-round mouths and boobs of every European super model and say, "Here's what I won in Vegas! Please take it as a reward for all your kind words!"

    Vegas was nice. I came. I saw. I spanked. Then she came. Great fun.

    The latest I heard about the OT (Original Trilogy) DVD was that they're looking for a late 2004 release date. Episode III will be in May 2005, and this will pump up anticipation to unearthly levels. Expect the trailor of Ep III about this time next year. I know I'll be expecting it greatly. Even heard that they've reworked the lightsabers for Obi and Vader's duel so they're brighter and less frizzled. Whoa. Also heard that Chewie's fur is nothing but a collection of Han's pubic hairs that Chewie salvaged from his underwear over the years. Whoa.

    I have little doubt that Ep III is going to be the BEST MOVIE EVER.

    What do I think about all the writing on this thread? I quote my favortie Imperial Officer Admiral Piett: "Thank you, Lord Vader."

    This piece was originally posted in the very beginning and it wasn't posted in it's complete state. It wasn't fully typed in. I can't believe I allowed that to happen. While I go kill myself, read this as it was meant to be read.


    RETALIATION/
    broken aviation


    She sat in her corner
    Folding industriously,
    Of course,
    A piece of college ruled.
    Just finished dusting
    And rusted in mind
    She let the plane
    Wing it’s way through the
    Worldly currents provided by
    The stainless steel of a heat vent.
    It hovered silent,
    Slipping upward to
    Graze the ceiling with a rush
    Of movement
    And a wisp of air.
    Nose dive,
    Graceful still,
    It sticks in the carpet tip first.
    The fragile cockpit command center
    Would have been a wreck
    Yet
    Paper survives and so
    No actual death
    She sighed as she reached over
    To pick it up
    And watched sadly as her father
    Entered the room crushing it
    Poor thing
    With his right heel
    “How many times..?”
    He asked
    “HOW many TIMES?”
    He seethed
    “HOW MANY TIMES?!”
    He flurried
    Emphasizing every syllable
    Her heart was crushed
    With his right heel
    She cried for the loss
    He grew angrier
    So misunderstood it seems
    The both of them
    He exploded
    She flinched
    He shouted
    She screamed
    And they ate dinner
    Parenthood it seems
    Is a compound word
    Meaning hypocrisy
    Teenage it seems
    Is merely a two syllable word
    She discontinued the situation
    In the interest of dinner
    One argues with no stomach
    When running on one that is empty
    A Roman thought
    For an American girl
    She was special
    And yet in the end
    She wasn’t anything new
    Her tragedy…
    She was an American legacy
    Fancied herself a cinematic event
    Even a star shining dimly
    Somewhere in the overview of
    The estimated timed arrivals
    Her tragedy…
    As any other star
    Who died in a violent plane crash
    Who died in the throes
    A part of our woes
    Those who died in the arms of the country
    That reared
    Rejected
    Realized and
    Revered them
    In time she may have been as such
    Was such
    So we may suppose
    As she trusted her fancies
    More pink and real
    More sunset and starlight
    More scented and full
    Than anything he bedroom window
    Could have provided her
    Than anything her shades
    Could have protected her from
    Her nickname: bent reality
    Depression her bitter arrow
    The paper airplane her downward fall
    Surround her
    Around her
    Underground her
    Love spoke spatters
    Poetry with edges roughly hewn
    Untaught and dissolute
    Deluded
    Diluted
    Drowned in misconception
    Folded by shaking hands
    Into yet another paper airplane
    Shy and slight
    Made in the image of its creator
    It flew as predicted
    Shy and slight
    With eyes alight
    Youthful effervescence
    Evanescence
    The faded truth of a tradition broken by lack of faith
    Communication
    Built upon the familiar
    The Familiar
    She was fire and her plane was hot
    Gliding to a gentle stop on the corner
    Of the baked brick and mahogany mantel
    Above the fireplace
    It teetered there as if deciding
    Was it tired of the air?
    Momentarily, as time slowed to a pin point,
    It leapt off the edge in a spiraling swirl
    The room itself swayed and spun in jealousy
    Her eyes following it into and just beyond
    The lip of a trash can
    That sat adjacent to the white leather sofa or rather
    Just behind it
    There was a thunder of fury at her back as her father entered the room
    Reaching for the trash can
    Desperate
    Seeking to find the cause of his irrationality
    Her heart was crushed in his right fist and he threw it on the table
    Her hair flew upward in a golden arc
    As the violence struck her broadside giving her the crimson rush
    Her arm slowly rose to midshoulder height
    As she held an oblong
    Reflective
    Somehow metallic object in her hand
    Something she had only just thought of what seemed like hours ago
    It glinted
    Catching his eye...
    As it rose toward the ceiling
    He flinched believeing it her retaliation
    To his already dawning realization that he might have made a mistake
    And to his unconscious prayers unbidden in an effort to karmically appease the Mistakes he has made
    There was a flash
    A picture of halogen strobe
    He stood unable to control what opened in front of him
    Speechless as the blood flowed
    His eyes widened
    Looking around the still spinning living room
    As if to find someone to help him out
    A saviour for him
    And his daughter
    He stuttered as she closed her eyes and soared over her right wrist
    He started to yell and amazing tears came, blisteringly hot and surprising,
    Pleading in a language she couldn't really understand
    Never understood
    It was all so foreign
    She perceived in her somewhat enlightened and lightheaded state
    That it was yet another outburst
    That was all she knew
    The dying know much, however misinterpreted, and she whispered,
    "It's the carpet isn't it? You only care about the blood in the carpet"
    She knew nothing
    Nothing new
    A statistic
    A Folk Hero
    An American legend
    A paper airplane.
