Here on the other side with me, ferrymanpaid, he says tapping the screen his cigarette immaculate into some imaginary ashtray, with whom and so forth been tied to many a mast said, that in the extreme unlikelyhood that you a drunken Irishman and 10 years older should outlive me, I hereby forthwith and suchlike appoint you the executor of my estate which consists of lots of well hidden debts and the contents of this here briefcaserecorder thingy he says jangling his chains, i never delete anything, have fun, do you remember the ending of that fillum starring Al Pacino, well take a real deep breath i tell you at the wake, you gotta love an irishman, he said, young Jimmy Joyce in Dubliners, heh!

Well, thanks for the question. The blog actually organises the work into a nonlinear three dimensional text for me by using the tags, categories and search doohickeys. This is how I wrote the previous mss, “The Puzzle Box”, mentioned in ‘Alternative View’. Blogging is kinda silly, using the free tools provided by WordPress to take the drudgery and loneliness out of being a writer, priceless. (added Scarface clip to vodpod for clarification of the esoteric reference, ‘take a real deep breath’)

The Irish throw a kicking wake – no different to weddings my grandfather said, but the presents aren’t so good. 😉
Haha, I like the word ‘wake’, it has complimentary meanings, ‘a wake’, ‘awake’. How was the festival?
