Why is writing bios so utterly horrible? I mean, really, why is it so awful? I hate it. I hate having to attempt to be witty. It's just taxing. can't we just do a/s/l and be done with it? :)

for me, i am incredibly self involved but i like to fictionalise all those truths about me and turn them into fiction -- much easier. i came in a flatpack and bios involve going back to the instruction book and tanslating it back into the japanese and then re-jigging it until the english makes sense.

that sounds about right. I have found that just being a smart ass helps me write them. And the shorter the better. Making up things always works too.

why is some poetry scoffed at for rhyming, while other cheesy rhyming poetry is considered classic? what makes poetry classic? or any writing for that matter? what makes art art these days?

simon cowell is the absolute authority on all things, i broke him in half like a fortune cookie and the rhyming message inside said that it is because some people are idiots and it is all fashion dictated. swings and roundabouts and the predominance of trend driven culture.

I would like to masticate Simon Cowell's face, then put the worst people I can find on American Idol.

it's possible that the only reason anything is ever deemed classic is because at one point in time a group of influential people (or just a massive enough group of idiots) decided to say "hey that's good stuff". and from what I've noticed there are not many 'classic' pieces of art (lit/poetry/music/etc...) nowadays from anybody living. I think you have to die for people to finally appreciate it. or have insane mass-market appeal. I'm sure there are some exceptions but I just can't think of any right now. feel free to point them out.

classic:

[Origin: 1605–15; (< F classique) < L classicus belonging to a class, belonging to the first or highest class, equiv. to class(is) class + -icus -ic]

writers, prizefighters, and caffeine inspired allnighters quote from the ring: "Writers who push at the boundaries, who are never satisfied with staying within the rules. They want to fight through their words to enlightenment. Post Review Receive Feedback Evolve"

enlightenment folks, evolution people. do not concern yourself with becoming classic. concern yourself with originality . . . those "classics" used to be boat-rocking, revolutionaries of the lexis. those were the pavers of the way . . . now rock your own boat, evolve, experience the new, don't jump into a mold you can't empathize with. you are you in this era with your own epiphanies. beside all that, if you were shakespeare you'd be dead now. ;) oh, and p.s. all the synonyms i could find for classic all reduce down to "old" so basically classic=washed-up . . . groovy!
