Notes by Mr Zaborskii, in chronological orderNotes by Mr Zaborskii
Wow. I just read a narrative nonfiction novel called "the Black Count" about a brilliant black general in 1700s France. It has me thinking: there must be something fundamentally bad-ass in black people's DNA. I mean, just reading about this man's exploits, you would think he was Captain America. But he's not. He's just a black guy fighting for his freedom in Revolutionary France. And such conditions necessitate awesomeness. Anyways, it's a good read. Check it out.
Hahahahahaha. That's an awesome book review.
Thanks. I'm glad you liked it. Have you read the Black Count?
         I don't like life that much. There are no discernible main characters, no central plot line, nothing to lose or gain. I keep waiting for it to pick up, to begin accelerating toward some action-packed, tear-inducing conclusion. I keep expecting a moral to emerge with the rising stakes, a message to the story of life. Maybe something about the human spirit, or unity and sticking together, or family, or better yet, something about the power of love. Hell, anything would do.
First, yeah. I intentionally left that blank to emphasize that I was NOT considering walking out.

Second,I think it's a fair dose of both. I mean, the harder you try, the more you restrict the flow of ideas in the moment, but at the same time the harder you try, the higher you guarantee that the ideas WILL come... when you stop trying. If that makes any sense.
My reply made no sense. Let me try again: I think all great ideas come from inspiration. Granted, you have a greater chance of catching them if you happen to have a pen in your hand when they come. And you will never understand them if you don't write them down and sort them out. But still, the main force of the ideas come on their own accord, in their own way, and regardless of how hard you try to force them.
But I have a question now: where were you going with that? I need to know.

Also I was a bit curious about this quote: "people get pretty freaked out when you begin to consider it. Trust me." The words,"Trust me" tend to imply "I've tried that. Don't go there." Was there something you were insinuating between the lines?
Hmm... I never did go to Iowa, did I? If only there were secret stashes of money lying around for people who needed them...
My account turned four 3 hours ago. Thus, a moment of reflection: four years ago, I was... damn. I don't know whether I want to think about this after all. I was incredibly immature and unlikable. My writing was worlds away from quality or completion. My political views were biased and often unfounded. I'm just glad I didn't have to be friends or family to me during that time.

In the past four years, I had my first relationship and first breakup, thankfully in that order...
Happy 4th birthday, Mr Zaborski! Like you say, there is only a few of us making absurd comments after each other, so let the good times continue to roll! *Bigsmile*
Happy Birthday! Wow, you have accomplished a lot. And hey, at the moment I am despising both Republicans and Democrats.
Thanks SS! The pleasure is mine. After all, without you, I was a knit-vest knight without a lady to fight for.

I second that Steve, let 'em roll. Oh and thanks for the smiley. It lightens the mood in here.

Thanks Jezri! (And welcome to the ever-growing club of Democrat-despising anti-Republicans.)
To whom it may concern, (hint: it may concern those friends of mine who, like myself, often add absurd posts to absurd in&outs)

I have created my own absurd in&out: "The Editing Room." I would appreciate it if you could visit said In&Out to add your absurdity to it. I know, some of you say, "why would I help Z? He's arrogant, self-centered and thinks he's a super-writer." But I've written such a brilliant intro that you have to come. So don't even think about trying not to.

Thanks,
Mr Z
Lol. I have never once thought you were arrogant. I've been angry because you said something about my writing, and it was completely accurate, but that's about it. =P
What was it that made you angry?
A lot of it was because of stupid things that I knew I should have fixed, but was too lazy to until you pointed it out. I was more angry at me than at you. It's hard not to feel that way when a writer you respect corrects you on something you already knew you should fix. Bleh.
Did anyone notice the appearance of the Writing.com "like" button? It happened sometime between today and yesterday I think because yesterday is when I didn't notice it next to people's status updates.
Steve, if you are saying (in your convoluted, Steve way) that the writing.com "like" button on status updates is superfluous, I agree with you.


Moreover, I would like to add that the like button would be of some use in I&Os, where it would provide a means of acknowledging a good post without wasting any of the arbitrary 255 characters.
Oh! Now I understand... you're asking whether you need to put thought in whether or not you "like" something now that the "like" button has been implanted.


Yes, Steve. I'm going to assume that you dislike everything you haven't gotten around to "liking" yet. It makes much more sense than the alternative: finding something absolutely extroadinarily good that is so amazing you have to spend 2.5 seconds to click "like" then forget all about it.
I agree. It would be handy in some places, unneeded in others. I'm one of those people who don't compliment other people even a fraction as much as is really socially necessary if they are going to like you. In other words, I have the loner/hermit mentality and think it's unnecessary to always be reassuring people that you like them. But I guess people who live together experience tensions and need reassurance from time to time. I like everybody, especially when they aren't too close. *Laugh*
Finals are done! Man am I glad it's over.
Yay! Go out and celebrate in a completely legal and non-alcohol related way!!!
Oh my gosh! I forgot to tell you guys I'm leaving for Texas tonight! I won't be on until after the 2nd at the soonest. Merry Christmas and Happy New Years everyone! Goodbye!
Pardon me, a slip of the tongue. My family live in Texas. I ran for freedom as soon as I could.
I applaud your decision. You have proven yourself as intelligent as you are industrious.
(which is to say; you're really smart)
FINALS ARE DONE! And I don't have to go back to school until January 18th!
I still don't get why a tongue is represented by e:Pthb and not e:tongue since it really wouldn't be any more difficult to do it the easy way.
I think it's their attempt at spelling the sound of a raspberry. Besides, tongue could mean a lot of things.
Wow. I only just got that (like four months after you wrote the comment!) lol I may be a little slow on the pick up.
Two finals down... two more to go. Man I will be glad when this ends.
Moral support! Moral support! Rah, rah, rah!

lol thanks! Three down...
First post here. Welcome to my port I guess. The last few days have been crazy. I've got a literary analysis essay which, in spite of my really cool professor, is incredibly boring. I'll be glad to be done with it.
