"Postcards From The Future" is a documentary about Chuck Palahniuk. I've known about it for years, and I've owned it for two. But I'd never watched it. I think it's because I simply wasn't ready to. After watching it tonight, I've had my batteries recharged; much like I did after the event I attended in June '08 (search blog for the recap).
The clip below has finally driven home the reason I've had such a hard time with my writing. The overt approach really has no meaning after Columbine and 9/11. I need to fabricate subtlety.
The next clip resembles a personal philosophy, but it says it SO much better. I've been struggling with how best to deal with my feelings regarding our financial system, tea partiers, occupiers, etc. I had decided to make it a non-issue. Take the power away from the issue by living outside of it. We have to exist within it, but we don't have to acknowledge or patronize it. Construct a different idea. Live it.
