    Dark Poetry : An Invisible Me

    Oh my dearest Manuscipt...what makes you think this is an appropriate venue in which to share your confused, provocative, condescending and arrogant emotions? Go seek out friends, families, trained professionals. Go - go publish your writings elsewhere. Perhaps you can find another board...

    Richard Matheson: I Am Legend

    Oh. Okay. Never mind!!;) ;) I feel dumb!!! Yes, Will Smith is not particularly talented. Its kind of tragic they are taking such an interesting story line and making it duller than dull with Will in the lead. The movie needs someone as fascinating as the content! Yes, to Forrest Whitaker...

    Richard Matheson: I Am Legend

    Whoa - Snideness is really not necessary. I misunderstood. I had no idea the movie was being made. I thought we were simply discussing the possibility of the movie being made. It was certainly not meant as a personal insult to you. I'm busy...I must have not noticed your link.

    Danger, Will Robinson, danger

    Well, then we are kindred souls! I also have a big mouth! I used to belong to a spoiler board for a popular US show that had a similar member. He was actually a published writer. One book. Available through Amazon and morbidly depressing. As was the author. He started a thread on suicide...

    Richard Matheson: I Am Legend

    Wait - I just checked and Will Smith HAS been cast in the new movie version. I really did not know if that was true or not. I am glad they are remaking it but Will Smith(???). He's an awful actor (in my humble opinion). The role requires someone with much more depth and much more everyman...

    Danger, Will Robinson, danger

    I'm new here and don't want to step on anyone's toes...but I have been reading Manuscript's posts and I believe that this is not an appropriate venue for him to be posting his work. He is obviously disturbed, delusional and perhaps, very dangerous to himself or others. I think the responsible...

    Running With Scissors

    Yeah, I caught up with my old friend Debbie who lives in Shelburne Falls and has known the mother of the story since 1988. Its a huge embelishment of the truth. And its done nothing but deeply hurt many people and make Augusten Burroughs rich.

    Dark Poetry : An Invisible Me

    I mean this in all sincerity...have you considered getting professional help? You really make very little sense and seem to be conflicted and angry. Perhaps you should go talk to someone about your feelings rather than posting them here.

    Post a poem

    Wild Dreams of a New Beginning by: Lawrence Ferlinghetti There's a breathless hush on the freeway tonight Beyond the ledges of concrete restaurants fall into dreams with candlelight couples Lost Alexandria still burns in a billion lightbulbs Lives cross lives idling at stoplights...

    What books have you hated?

    Underworld by Dom Delillo. It was painful to finish - but I did. I can never not complete a book - even if I hate it. Its like an obsession! But this one stunk! Way way way too convuluted, boring and he just tried too hard to make it an intellectual work. It just put me to sleep!

    Running With Scissors

    This is so odd...I read the link and then did some more research which led me to the home page of Burrouogh's real mother - Margaret Robison. (Burroughs real name was Christopher Robison). She is indeed a poet and has had 2 books published. She lives in Shelburne Falls, MA. As I was reading...

    Thanks for your thoughtful post. I am afraid we will have to politely agree to disagree and move on.

    Oops, sorry bout that. I'll look closer next time I start a new thread! Maybe an Administrator could merge this with the other one?

    How Many Books Do You Read in a Year (approx.)?

    I do the same thing - usually writing a brief description/review of the book. Its a great way to keep track of what you have consumed!!

    Bill O'Reilly; The No Spin Zone

    Do not mistake Bill O'Reily for being a journalist! He's a conniving, double-dealing, hypocritical, hyperbolic, and amazingly untalented television "personality". Thats what most news has become in the US. Just an hour full of someone like Anderson Cooper telling you how HE feels about the...
