Blogging the blog
My mate The Impostune is at it again, over on his blog.
This time he's decrying his own soft-skinned humanity, for liking the film " Love Actually " and a single by Robbie Williams.
When will he get over himself? All the turgid ramifications that he outlines in response to stuff that-doesn't-matter-but-works-in-an-immediate-way, is just so much blather and inert gas.
It works on you because despite the pristine and ascetic construct from which the mass-produced thoughts of The Impostune pour, the human being running on it's little wheel inside the carapace still needs the nothing new of emotions.
It needs it's quota of sobs and smiles. Don't kid yourself that a brilliant mind, a vocabulary to die for and a thorough critique of Pynchon or Foster-Wallace will suffice,it clearly won't.
The idea that a "common" experience, such as finding joy or identification in the obvious and accessible, is a weakness, is in itself one of the biggest weaknesses of all.

Ha! Not saying that at all, simply trying to identify how sentimentality is in fact far more effective at disrupting the avowedly unsentimental (ie myself) than it is people who are less hostile to sentiment..it's an irony, innit,
