i'm alberto, happy cuban cultist currently residing in the frozen tundra of michigan. i swam a long way to get here, but my people are good swimmers and better navigators; blindfold me, spin me, then set me loose: i'll find miami every time.

im a freelance photographer by day and an aspiring writer whenever i get the chance to put thoughts down someplace permanent. i haven't been around here for long, but from the stories i've read and the heroic levels of random brilliance i've seen in other culties, this feels like home.

a quirk about my writing is that i cannot write fiction unless i pretend that i'm telling a story to one of a few friends sitting across from me; if i'm not picturing their faces, reactions, responses, i cant seem to create. i'd much rather talk to and write with all of you than write more about myself. i hate writing about myself. i can't wait to take in your sweet wordy goodness; lets make babies together.

i found this place after reading the contortionist's handbook, survivor, and invisible monsters. clevenger set me up for a chuck spree... i've been going through his library ever since.

yes indeed, im laying out my welcome mat. this is home.
stop in and visit, i'd love to know you.

I've heard a writer's audience is a fiction, but it's an effective strategy you have and a great example of it, if I could remember who exactly it was (I think Margaret Atwood) wrote everything as though writing it for her grandmother. Opens you up, leaves you free to tell the story. I have this quirk also, but I write as though writing to the cult.

Welcome to the cult.

I write for myself. I've no faith in anyone else. Welcome to the cult. Also, our names are damn similar. Your photographs are lovely, I think, and I never thought before that such a person existed, but I think I am a photograph viewer. My place is solely with the audience in the whole medium of photographs. As I said, welcome. I look forward to seeing you in the workshop.

glad i'm not the only one. it definately gives me a little confidence and sparks ideas i wouldnt get if i just sat and wrote without a mental back and forth.

are our names similar? growing up i felt i had a brother i never met. two years ago i discovered an aunt, uncle, and multiple cousins living thirty minutes away who i did not know existed. wanna swap dna tests?

i used to feel like a strict outsider to writing. i'd encourage you to pick up a cheap camera and go at it. i'd love to see what you'd shoot. even a toy camera - there are entire subcultures of toy camera lovers. thanks for the compliment.

i enjoyed reading your tumblr, chairman morey, presidente perpetual. im jealous of your painting skills, and your weasels. as far as chat goes, that invitation feels like a trap somehow. im scared.

a zombie would be more interested in dinner than babymaking. guess i was insensitive to the full demographic of the cultie spectrum. we can nibble on each other and talk a little, then the babymaking. i do need to cuddle though, okay??

your logic is clearly fawlty sir. i swam to this country from a small island nation. for proof, see above: i've installed a dictator here before my 50th post.

Hello and welcome. I'm impressed that you can make a steady income doing photography - I know it's hard to get to that point. If you can also make it work with writing, you'll be living quite the dream.

I do hope to see you around. Best wishes getting to know people around the site.

it took awhile but i found a couple niches that work, even in this crap economy. i'd love to be able to travel someday and be paid to take photos and write. the dream indeed.

Ha! I didn't have a choice in the matter. My parents gave it to me and it stuck since then. And thank you. I think she's badass too. Happy

for some reason i could never stay awake through those movies. not that i was completely uninterested, but even in groups they lull me to sleep somehow.

And it would have been a lot easier to just say it's one of those midgets with hairy feet instead of telling him to go watch 12 hours worth of film.

Hobbits aren't the same as midgets. But there will be no further discussion of their feet.
