my blog is just me writing on bits of paper and chucking them into an abyss and occasionally i hear shouts of validation from within

[the-abyss-gazed-back]

is this,,,, how my blog was created??

[hyperions-fate]

No tech CEO or NYT bestselling novelist will ever match the creativity of a humble French postman who decided on a whim to spend thirty-three years building a surreal, majestic palace with the bricks and mortar of his dreams.

Couple of interesting additions:

1. Ferdinand Cheval tripped over a stone and was inspired by its shape, eventually stating, "It represents a sculpture so strange that it is impossible for man to imitate, it represents any kind of animal, any kind of caricature. I said to myself: since Nature is willing to do the sculpture, I will do the masonry and the architecture."

Here's the tripped-over sandstone in question, which explains some of the abstract design:

Oh, and also:

2. He tripped and started this when he was 43.

INTERVIEW by JORDAN KAPONO NAKAMURA

[auroraborus]

Image is a poem, it reads:

I want this job because

it sounds like something I could do

and I'm hungry, physically.

I have extensive experience

in studying what water says as it plummets.

Yes, I can carry more than 35 pounds, but what

does that have to do with anything?

I've wrestled angelic beings

and the nine lives of pathological compulsion.

I have sworn an oath against the roman calendar

and its derivative mutations.

I can be firm as cold turkey.

My two letters of recommendation are f and u. They can be used in surf, which is one way to step on what wants me drowned.

I have heard the hinges of the doors of the sea creak, so I read a book beneath a tree.

I think a lie can be worse than murder but also I have never died. I can definitely think of a time when I had to multitask while under immense pressure, but would prefer not to. My goal is to recall my past lives and be free in each. My strength is being scattered and rooted at the same time. My weakness is entertaining a party of every kind of consequence.

My kink is a copless land where no one hoards I can start on any day you are prepared to train.

I can end on any day that ends in why not,

for real, I don't need this,

the people got me you know,

I'm with the people.

End of description.
