Ending of an era
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
like resignation to the end
always the end

All of life is a foreign country
While cleaning my hard drive I stumbled into a old text-file titled 'Jack Kerouac'. As my academic writer's block prolongs and deadlines are getting intimidatingly closer and closer, reading this gave a blissful five minutes of distraction. (I'd say 'inspiration' but that's a lie - even Kerouac wouldn't get inspired to write an essay about the sociology of violence when it's +30 degrees outside and the sun is shining.) Anyway, I think my high-school crush sent me this years ago and it still has some valid points. Enjoi.
1. Scribbled secret notebooks, and wild typewritten pages, for your own joy
2. Submissive to everything, open, listening
3. Try never get drunk outside your own house
4. Be in love with your life
5. Something that you feel will find its own form
6. Be crazy dumbsaint of the mind
7. Blow as deep as you want to blow
8. Write what you want bottomless from bottom of the mind
9. The unspeakable visions of the individual
10. No time for poetry but exactly what is
11. Visionary tics shivering in the chest
12. In tranced fixation dreaming upon object before you
13. Remove literary, grammatical and syntactical inhibition
14. Like Proust be an old teahead of time
15. Telling the true story of the world in interior monolog
16. The jewel center of interest is the eye within the eye
17. Write in recollection and amazement for yourself
18. Work from pithy middle eye out, swimming in language sea
19. Accept loss forever
20. Believe in the holy contour of life
21. Struggle to sketch the flow that already exists intact in mind
22. Don’t think of words when you stop but to see picture better
23. Keep track of every day the date emblazoned in your morning
24. No fear or shame in the dignity of your experience, language and knowledge
25. Write for the world to read and see your exact pictures of it
26. Bookmovie is the movie in words, the visual American form
27. In praise of Character in the Bleak inhuman Loneliness
28. Composing wild, undisciplined, pure, coming in from under, crazier the better
29. You’re a Genius all the time
30. Writer-Director of Earthly movies Sponsored & Angeled in Heaven
PS. Talking about the beat-generation, here's a movie recommendation:
