Good profession! When I use my search engine to look for blogs to read
yours has come up several times on different categories. That just made me
want to read it more, I can see why. It is excellent. Keep up the awesome
work and I will continue reading.

while i agree with Jockstrap that Carver may not be the most intellectually
challenging of writers or include much challenging philosophies as such, it
is important to note that this is not what contemporary American
prose/poetry is about. It is about simple thought with deep meaning. The
story and the meaning of the story are one and the same. Even if we look
back to the beat writers of the 50's and 60's we can find the deepeset of
meanings in the simplest of stories

To Jock Strap,
I'm sure you would "blow Raymond Carver away" with the thoughts in your
head. It sounds like you are a deep thinker. A real renaissance man.
Indeed, Kurt Cobain would fit that category too. What a philosopher! You
both are two of the finest poetic minds that the world has to offer. How
do you not get more respect? I say it's bullshit. You should be an award
winning novelist/poet/songwriter. You should get all the chicks. You are
clearly a winner in life. You deserve it. Because you are such an
outstanding intellect.

Seriously. Get off Carver's nuts.
