zee spaniard has arrived.
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 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.
Howdy, Tourist. Pleased to meet ya.
Get on over to my website, young'un! www.subvertfromwithinrecords.blogspot.com
Welcome to the cult. You seem pretty cool.
lets make babies together.
What no foreplay? Not even dinner?
He's from Barcelona (poke in the eye, slap)
There are no pacts between lions and men.
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.
hello sir!
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.
Good coffee is like drinking Rock and Roll.
Welcome Beto. Make yourself at home.

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.
thanks minerva. you took the name of one of my favorite old goddesses. invented music, wrote poetry, and wise at medicine. plus she was badass. the whole package

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. 

i'll take you down bitch!
where did the love go morey?
stop playing games with me. i thought you liked me 
Hey I'm new too... Nice to meet you...
You sound pretty cool so yeah see you around.

oops didn't mean to double post
Hi
Looks like Spunck's life is dull and pointless.
What the hell is happening in here?

this is why i don't flirt with anyone on here anymore. I keep thinking it looks like this when i do it too.
You sound pretty cool so yeah see you around.
Hey droog. Nice to meet you too.
i'll take you down bitch!
where did the love go morey?
stop playing games with me. i thought you liked me :(
Wow. I have never been so brutally and wonderfully complimented before. You make me smile Morey.
Hello. What exactly is that avatar Spunck?
Morey confused me with his wild jungle cat pickup tactics. I mistook his lust for hate. Total new guy moment...
Oh come now. What amuses us only prolongs our lives. We must never, ever be boring.
If you wish to know more about the avatar watch the lord of the rings.

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.
All you had to say was, "I wish not to learn more about your avatar." But that works. Anyways, welcome.

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.
fuck you.

i mean, touche!

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

nothing personal mate. i just have trouble with 90% of fantasy movies not involving david bowie or muppets. labyrinth was fucking great.
if peter jackson had snuck in a muppet...
thanks for the welcome sir.
inborn aversion to fuzzy toes, shana?

Well apparently his
Welcome to the cult, and well done for redeeming your LotR bash by mentioning Labyrinth, it truly is an awesome film

david bowie + jim henson make for a cinematic duo never to be matched again. i mean, there's still quality films, but nothing like that will ever be done again. sadface.
thanks for the welcome.
from your name you sound like a fun carnival ride 
my inner 8 year old does my thinkin this early in the morning...



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.
