“Regard yourself as a small corporation of one. Take yourself off on team-building exercises (long walks). Hold a Christmas party every year at which you stand in the corner of your writing room, shouting very loudly to yourself while drinking a bottle of white wine. Then masturbate under the desk. The following day you will feel a deep and cohering sense of embarrassment.” FeelsWritingYearsLongWhiteWalksRoomsPartyTeamBuildingExerciseRegardWineDrinkingFollowingCornersCorporationsBottlesDesksEmbarrassmentTeam BuildingShoutingLong WalksChristmas PartyWhite Wine Author:Will Self
“All over the world kids and women [are] getting killed right now over beliefs, this is silly to get angry over.

I’m not the promoter, I actually had nothing to do with the rules being implemented, but I do agree with my team. And cause of who I am, I’m the de facto speaker.

“The self-esteem of western women is founded on physical being (body mass index, youth, beauty). This creates a tricky emphasis on image, but the internalized locus of self-worth saves lives. Western men are very different. In externalizing the source of their self-esteem, they surrender all emotional independence. (Conquest requires two parties, after all.) A man cannot feel like a man without a partner, corporation, team. Manhood is a game played on the terrain of opposites. It thus follows that male sense of self disintegrates when the Other is absent.” MenFeelsTwoDifferentSelfBodyGamesPartyTeamSelf EsteemYouthEmotionalSourceMassOppositesIndependenceWesternMalesPartnersSurrenderSelf WorthEsteemCorporationsManhoodEmphasisConquestAbsentTrickySense Of SelfTerrainSave A Life Book:The Eclipse: A Memoir of Suicide Source: The Eclipse: A Memoir of Suicide

“Stonehenge had an aura but it was also just stone. Then in the sixties, it became a great hedonistic, hippie, druid, rock-n-roll party site.
