the actual op of that long post here

you let your favorite artists do your living for you. when i say 'homebody' i don't mean your house where you grew up in, but rather i guess that you often return to a space either alone or with people you know well enough to be comfortable doing whatever you do in your spare time. experiences of the exotic, exciting, foreign, etc., interest you but you can never muster the necessary foolishness/will to begin any journey with actual risk. the risk you avoid is mostly about whatever might threaten your financial or physical well-being. the emotional well being you are comfortable to see rise and fall outside your control

You're obviously grossly insecure, probably a young arts major or future arts major. You're very petty and torpedo a lot of relationships before they even start. You have a poor relationship with your family and the things you post on here "homebody, pleb, asshole, pretentious" are really projections of yourself. Because of things in your past you feel very threated by anyone who might know more or be superior than you in any way, and so you're always trying to take people down a peg.

coetzee fag here. not a bad analysis. Coetzee's prose is very spare and his novels are usually short. He presents a lot of bleak and brutal imagery. He doesn't shrink away from the dirty, embarrassing, scatological, and violent aspects of human life. It's like he found the midden heap of human experience somewhere in south africa and dug deep into it and presented it to the world. An acquaintance of ten years reported that he had heard Coetzee laugh only once, and another acquaintance said that at dinner parties it wasn't unusual for him to remain completely silent. He's won the man booker twice, but refused to come to the ceremonies. He was persuaded to attend the ceremony for his nobel.

I've read a lot of poetry. My mother used to read it to me growing up. I've had classes where we read oodles of poems, from Yeats to Dickinson, the so-called "classics," but also more experimental stuff. I could do a decent job at analyzing the stuff, it's just never had an emotional impact on me. Prose sure does, but not poetry. Neither do song lyrics, in general. I listed Tarantino and Vonnegut because while I can appreciate "finer" writers and directors, I consistently derive great pleasure from their works. I put thew email address thinking I might get random entertaining emails from 4channers. Alas, not yet; I just get made fun of for it.

>So anyone actually want to take a stab at psychoanalyzing?
I will give it a try:
You don't appretiate poetry because it reminds you of your mother who never let you drill her from behind while bending her over your parents' marriage bed, thus you have a grudge against her, and due to that, against all poetry.

Director: Don't know jack shit about cinema. I like Star Wars. I mean I have enjoyed the Ozu and Hitchcock films I have seen but I haven't seen enough to say they are my favorite directors

Poet: Ginsberg, I suppose. His is the only body of poetic work of which I've read the entirety. Homer too, if that counts

Writer: Tolstoy or Dostoevsky. Don't make me pick
