Writing

Writing is an activity that you can do if you don't want to go climb a mountain or some such fairy tale. For instance, if I climb a real mountain I can die. If I write about climbing a mountain, I can just say I died and don't actually have to do it by using a writer's tool called "lying." Writing can be pretty fun and also you can sometimes get a bit of money out of it but not really so don't bank on it. Did you like how I said "don't bank on it" when I was talking about money? That's another writer's tool called irony or something, I don't really remember. In conclusion stay in school and drugs are bad.

PS - You don't have to be coherent to be a writer (see above review).

Glenn, are you telling me some people pay $40,000 or more for what you just wrote? Forget about getting a PhD now. You've probably been blacklisted from every school.

Oh man, I spy some Books I Want to Read right there. Nothing makes me happier.

Nice plug for your previous post!

You actually can make a bunch of money on writing if you become a lawyer (or so they tell me, and that sure as shit better be true). I mean, you mostly get to write motions and crap, and definitely not about climbing mountains, but you're still technically writing and actually getting paid, which is one advantage over say, writing poetry. What I'm really saying here is that I've pretty much come to terms with having sold out. Or at least I will as soon as I start getting paid. And damn there were a lot of clauses in this comment! Shit yeah!

Just remember that as a member of the wealthy right wing it is important to support the arts and by support the arts I mean buy your friend Glenn a sandwich.

Well you sure as hell aren't getting any sandwiches for calling me right wing.
