"I'm Doug Stanhope, and that's why I drink."
 

Classic.   ;D

This man helps decrease any anxiety I might have about the possibility of regressing into a drunken state.  Upon coming to terms with the inability to write with a pencil while inebriated, I would most likely return to recording myself speak, which is how I used to cope with having a brain that would not cease its rambling thoughts.

He has a biting wit.   It makes me want to listen to "old tapes" ... if I could only find them.   

Nope ... I can't find "the H-Files".  It's probably just as well.   The recorders I used to use are sort of dead.

I'm sure they are on a disk somewhere.

While searching an external hard-drive I came across the "diaries" I had scanned before burning them.  How I use to love referring to those!   It's like conversing with some strange supernatural creature ... so honest.   No, alcohol was not 100% bad for me.   I was rather soulful, and when I sobered up for little stretches, I did write deeply in my "notebooks."

Now, all I write are "technical-oriented" notes.  I still like reading my technical and math-oriented notes, but, wow, I am afraid reading what I salvaged from my old destroyed diaries (in PDF files) could suck me into a very long night ... and I really would be better off getting some sleep.  Of course, when I wake in the morning, I will want to continue with the math.

Oh well.  It is what it is.   I don't mind.  I like that I have been able to focus on some math, well, a lot of math, actually.   Still, I do understand why so many people have come to include drinking alcohol as a way of life.  One becomes mesmerized with the things one thinks and says. 

Maybe my psychical composition is similar to some of the Natives of the Northern American continent in that my brain does not process alcohol well, or, as some machismo military ass-hole might say, "That skinny man can't handle his liquor."

By the way, Holden, the notebook I stumbled across was H-142 from October, 2010 - That was when I had returned to Dirty Jersey from Seattle Washington.  I ended up in Asbury Park, another place where the authorities see me as a man in need of psychiatric supervision.   ::) :P

While the recorder was "dead in the water" and I could not find the files on my drives or flashdrives, I was able to plug the device into the computer and extract the voice recording wav files from the device.

I will add slowly to Voice Diary of a Drunken Madman.

I do not want to hijack this thread, as the things Stanhope said about the "baby breeders" who drive hybrids (with baby carriers in back seat) thinking they are the solution are the main problem (the babies, that is) are worthy of discussion; so, I will start a new thread called Voice Diary of a Drunken Madman.

If anyone wants access to the folder, send me a private message with the email address of your choice that I might grant you access at the dropbox location.

  • Hentrichian Philosophical Pessimist
Kazimierz Raton (1942–1982), today almost completely forgotten. He suffered from pulmonary tuberculosis, bone tuberculosis, brain tuberculosis, but he was not able to withstand in the sanatoriums with people. As a frequent patient of sanatoriums he had a small pension and he spent money from pension and poetic fees on alcohol. He wandered the streets of Warsaw, stinky, drunk, drank local and the cheapest alcohol, with stomach ulcers, often beaten by other tramps, he often coughed, vomited blood. Nobody wanted to help him and he did not want help from anybody, he smelled of decay and nobody wanted to be in his company. He drank antidepressants with alcohol. Sometimes he lay somewhere on the side of the road, cold and hungry, and wrote. He was found dead in his apartment, no one knows how long he was lying there.

Remembering Kazimierz Raton

Holden,

Thank you for your post and the link. This is the first time I have heard of a Polish poet. I only read a short story by the Pole Stefan Grabinski. Raton clearly suffered a great deal. I suppose you must have read his poems. You have any of them in English?

I am sure many poets and authors are forgotten like Raton. That is very sad. But it is comprehensible. Their words hurt most of people´s beliefs. I say you and Hentrich and others in this blog can be considered as authors too in your own way. 

Raton´s heavy drinking reminded me that years ago I sometimes drank with beer, wine, and a little vodka, a terrible combination for the stomach and kidney. I suppose one of these days I will start having stomach ulcers too.  But here I am still clinging to this miserable existence. I wonder sometimes what would happen if there were no work to do and no money to earn, what would happen to millions of men and women around this globe? Would there be chaos, as we have never seen before?

Take care.

Doug Stanhope on Anti-Natalism

We need an antinatalist comedian who does not hesitate to call parents the worst kind of criminals.   They have experienced the nightmare of existence, and then, with grins, smirks, and giggles, choose to bring another creature into this absurd world, congratulating themselves all the while.

"To have committed every crime but that of being a father."

I don't care how radical certain "philosophical comedians" appear to be to the masses, if they fail to recognize the basic horror of existence, if they promote existence as something justifying our suffering, they are simply not philosophical enough for my tastes.

Sorry George.  Sorry Dave.    :-\
