The award was established by the Literary Review, a British magazine, and the winners therefore skew slightly toward British writers. Good and worthy except that for some reason the writer felt they had to go all detailed and graphic about sex. The writers chosen have, counting them all together, captured about all of the big literary prizes. These awards are given to writers and book which are otherwise good and worthy of attention. I’ll be back to tormenting you is to blame for So I salute your goal of encouraging optimism - at this exact picosecond. People who are realistically optimistic have the energy and the hope it takes to take risks, start things, make changes.Ī cynic is “a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.” Because if you spend your energy calculating the odds and goodness/badness of everything as far down as you can, you not only spend a lot of time calculating, you kill your own energy to move forward. People who have that trait easily and naturally statistically find more success in life, and they should. Perhaps, once I’m not even a whisp of a Goat, I’ll have time to try to write a sonnet tormenting you. Which doesn’t mean you don’t get tormented. I was never that big an intoxicants fiend except for one year in I’ll own I intend to torment you as Goat - once you are fully Goated - as much as possible - so long as it’s fun. The consensus opinion was that we should all drink less and consume more of other intoxicants. Everyone was amazed I hadn’t thrown up at all. I kinda sorta tried to participate, but mostly my brunch guests just observed me in a humorous clinical way and made comments about me as tho I were some sort of medical specimen. My house guests had not been drinking with us the prev evening so they were mostly ok. I was about ready to throw eggs at my lovely guests when they gently took over the cooking, made me lie down in the couch, and fed me water, coffee, oj, and bits of cheese. This stage didn’t last long - i was a mess. They toId me I would survive the morning but mostly they couldn’t stop laighung and deliberately making helpfully erroneous cooking suggestions. My houseguests came into the kitchen to watch me try to cook. And I tried to cook - we had croissants and I did get coffee started and then I was trying to do something with eggs. The prev night was at least 3x the alcohol I had ever consumed in 24 hours. Roomie and I had guests staying and more people coming for brunch. Only he fell by he wayside in the drinking, so he volunteered some $$$ for our drinking so far and someone poured him into a taxi. The Romans were not short on lurid stories. One of the company was a Roman history nut and he wound up telling us all the most lurid stories. I did it for the fun with friends, not the memories. of the things people with youth and stamina on their side do if they are in “taxi cities” is, once in a while, get completely toasted out on the town with some friends, and do it while still being rather civilized and intelligent during the proceedings, and try to be lots of fun and if possibly, somewhat literary or philosophical along the way.I hope you can all get behind this idea as I think we all need more positivity in our lives right now. I will try to find some time to do some funny doodles or something but as I mentioned during the campaign I am extremely busy this month. If you don’t blame will be summarily rejected without appeal. I don’t want credit for the good things and I’ll take the blame for the bad but if you do decide to bring in a negative I would like you to also post a positive. Instead of talking about all of the things that are going wrong in our lives and the world I want to focus on all of the good things in our lives. Too often do we dwell on the negative things and the truth is that as Americans we are blessed with so many things that we too often lose sight of. With that in mind we’re gonna keep things positive. 2016 was a bad year by almost all accounts and there was far too much negativity around, I want to get us started on the right foot. 2017 is finally here and we’re gonna mix things up.
