I'm salivating
15 or so unpublished, unread, unseen, novels by J.D. Salinger locked up in a safe in his home deep in the woods of Cornish N.H.
I repeat…I’m absolutely salivating
I wonder if his estate will publish and release any of them…
Literally, A Perfect Day for Banana Fish
Jerome David Salinger (J.D. to most); one of my heroes and inspirations for being a writer died yesterday.
My only problem with this, is that few people really knew Salinger’s genius. I mean sure, everyone knows the wonderful little tale of “Catcher in the Rye”, but that is the story he is best known for.
None of his brilliant short stories which portray, almost perfectly, the...
“Kafka told us: paradise is not lost. We are the ones who haven”t yet regained it, and if we haven’t regained it, it’s because we are suffering from two vices: laziness and impatience. As a result, we do nothing and don’t advance, we stop out of laziness, hurry from impatience. Between the two, the work of descending isn’t accomplished. Paradise is down...

I am so fucking frustrated; so fucking irritated by what is being asked of me that I can’t even think: Not even for one fucking minute.
Open your minds; expand your minds; ask yourself questions you would never have originally conceived.
Fuck
It's very rare...
that I come across a critic’s blurb on the back of a book that is an accurate portrayal of how that book actually makes me feel.
Chinese-American writer Amy Tan’s portrayal of Jhumpa Lahiri’s short story collection “Interpreter of Maladies” just so happens to be spot on—it mimics exactly how I feel about Lahiri’s stories:
Jhumpa Lahiri is the kind of...

realizations
There are only so many times you can hear the words “So tell us something interesting about yourself”—whether it’s said in a classroom setting or outside of one. Aside from the fact that I’m a triplet (yes there are two more of me) Being a writer is something I consider an interesting aspect to my being.
You can keep telling yourself that it is still special, you can...
What a miserable fucking day.
A deluge plagued Upper Montclair, New Jersey for the majority of the day, and I spent much of that day being soaked by the absolute barrage of rain.
Tired from not enough sleep last night, maybe a nap is in order; I’m too tired to even write or post anything of value

I had plans to write something really profound pertaining to my weekend; about how I don’t get enough done and I lack motivation, but it was then that I realized, I lack complete motivation to even do that.
I have class early tomorrow and I still have to read a few short stories for my American Fiction course and all of Titus Andronicus—subsequently a dynamite band from Glen Rock, New...
WatchThe greatest band ever. On a moving trolley. Packed with civilians.
As they say “‘nuff said”

What is this? A vimeo “take-away-show” contest now?
An open letter to Asian Philosophy...
Asian Philosophy. Asian Phil., can I call you that?
No? Okay, that’s fine.
Listen up now.
Asian Philosophy, you are a core class; you mean very little to me other than that. You are merely an interest in my vast and cavernous mind. You, are vast and cavernous yourself. (Much more vast and cavernous than my mind, which in comparison to your labyrinthine composition seems minuscule at best)...
God damn I really gotta get my fuckin' day started

Talking in Bed
This poem, is remarkably beautiful. Please take a moment to read it, and I mean really read it; not just glance over it and take it at face value as we have been taught since birth. Read every word and ask yourself, what does this mean. Not what does it mean to you, but what does it really mean.
Sleep well, all.

Other people's lives
I often think about my life in respect to how it is played out. Sometimes, I see it as a sort of story. Kind of like one of my short stories—just not as short, and not as bleak nor as hopeless. Clearly, in this story, I am the protagonist. Making the others who surround me characters who directly effect my story; either in a positive fashion, or, a detrimental one.
Then, that all gets me to...

Aviatophobia
I needed to brighten my tumblr; it just wasn’t working for me.
I’m heading south of the border tomorrow; I’d be lying if I told you that I’m not afraid to fly… I know that once I get there I’m gonna have the time of my life, but I have this raging anxiety building up.
My chest is burning and feels heavy with fret. There seems to be no method available to me...
