Reply to Broken Heart Syndrome in Writing JoeUser Forums

Ah, sheeit, man. There's no point in going down Memory Lane. All the What-Ifs and the Could've-Beens are all just ways of not looking square at yo'self now and accepting where you are. I should know, I've done it a lot. It's tough giving up old fantasies, including the Virginal Heart, but in the words of the Prophet Richard Pryor: "A boy becomes a man when a woman breaks your muthafuckin heart. That's your diploma." Welcome back, my friend. Thank you for keepin' your hiatus brie

The opiate has dulled the masses for so long, I don't think they'd understand what this sort of friendship requires. One of the reasons I became a Christian last year was so I could write a critique like this from the inside. Best of wishes for 2008. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center

I heard the joke from Henny Youngman, but the voice is much more musical, until the losing number comes up and the voice says "How 'bout that?" Thanks for the laff, Moskowitz

Reply to Paul The Movie Critic in Writing JoeUser Forums

When folks ask, my favorite movies, and this is not schtick: The Wizard of Oz and Goodfellas. And I read more books than any woman I know. - Moskowitz who hasn't commented because he's been so damned lazy lately

You just can’t understand the pressure the expectation everyone claiming you wanting a piece of you the Jews claim me as one of theirs own but you know how that all ended up and the Christians think they’re all doing things in my name the Muslims call me a prophet bu

Reply to Adjustment in Writing JoeUser Forums

I feel like I go from one place where I'm a stranger to another place where I'm less of a stranger and less scared and then out to where I'm an anonymous stranger and I don't even like to get dressed up to go out because if I am unattractive, then I am invisible and if I am invisible then I can go about my day and no one will notice. The adjustment never ends because the destination keeps shifting. Excellent writing, as usual, Roy, y

Naaa, menudo's the food of los dios, senor . Yaa, sometimes we Mexicans are spicy, jiggly, and a cure worse than the disease.

We Sleep Together in Poetry JoeUser Forums

We sleep together deep through the winter restlessly in summer we fall asleep holding hands sometimes curled like shrimp sometimes we are a human pretzel of limbs desire dreams and exhaustion in between our sleeping we nurture small triumphs we persevere we work through misunderstandi

Reply to Rich People in Writing JoeUser Forums

They used to stay away from the common folk and were more than happy about it. The ultra-rich still do stay away. The ones messing up the common man's environment are those with a little extry spending money - they ain't no where near rich- just have more disposable income. They feel shamed that they are trying so hard to leave their poor roots, yet they want the exclusion that big bucks implies. Useless yuppie cocksuckers, to paraphrase Ge

Reply to Rough Draft: Part 11 in Fiction Writing JoeUser Forums

Maggie - I like the dialogue here, smart, but not too smart. Also, the job offer comes rather quickly (so much that I noticed how quickly). Perhaps a little more dialogue so that the younger Mr. Abbott can reasonably offer the job this quickly. (Please accept any criticism with a huge grain of salt - for I am not a trained writer.) I'm curious where this is going. (Is the Abbott / Costello interplay this story's "meet cute?") - be

I liked this - how long did the merry-go-round of school and working nights last? I couldn't get a feel for it, but this is a great story. I like piecing these together. - Moskowitz

Reply to Just One in Writing JoeUser Forums

To one of the few writers that ever has me laughing out loud. See, this is why we can't hang together because my natural reaction would be to goad you on and say "Sheeit, man, g'head. That lady cop wants you. Here, I'll hold the Jack and you go up to 'er...", then before ya know, it'd be stupidtime in the pokey.

The mark of a great artist is the successful communication of a completely foreign topic. I've never done any welding, but now I feel like I've actually witnessed it and could even do it. Yeah, right. (Put that down before you hurt yourself, schmuck.) Great work, as per usual, Moskowitz
