if i get ahold of [redacted], ill pass the new one along... good luck with whatever trouble youre  getting yourself into... :)

more importantly, i wanted to wish you congrats on finishing the first draft of your novel... i always look forward to the moment when im able to hold the whole thing in my hands, only then does it finally feel real, that all the time i spent going out of my mind actually led to something tangible, and its the first moment when i can finally exhale a breath that feels like its been held in for what seems like eternity...

as always id like to offer up a passage from my oft mentioned favorite tome, paul auster's invention of solitude... its probably my favorite quote from a book filled with mind blowing quotes, i even used part of this one to end a screenplay... it feels appropriate in regards to the theme of the last post and keeps things firmly rooted in a brooklyn state of mind...

"For the past two weeks, these lines from Maurice Blanchot echoing in my head: 'One thing must be understood: I have said nothing extraordinary or even surprising. What is extraordinary begins at the moment I stop. But I am no longer able to speak of it.'  To begin with death. To work my way back into life, and then, finally, to return to death."

'nuff said...
