Jack Layton Things
Just bumped into my friend Peter. He said 3 months ago he was strolling through downtown TO with his friend. They were sort of drunk around 3AM and they bumped into Jack Layton’s house.
They knocked on his door (unaware that he was so ill) and he came out and spoke with them. He offered them each a drink and they sat outside and had a drink with Jack Layton at 3AM.
Few things here:

WatchMe firing my friend’s gun. He wanted footage of its use.This was my second time at a gun range.
It’s a .303 Enfield (Mark I and a whole bunch of other details that I don’t remember)

Children/Corruption
I think children can sense evil and corruption on a level that they don’t understand or aren’t consciously aware of. But the evil presence (myself) can sense in the child’s demeanor.
Because of that I try to avoid places where children frequent because I don’t like to be reminded of my own self-corruption and my own evils. I also do it for their sake. It’s an...

Mind Recessions
The ability to overcome a terrible trial by simply receding into your mind is one of the most taken for granted gifts of the human consciousness. But it is not without sacrifice. The ability to overcome this situation (be is physical pain, imprisonment, an affliction of the outside world) also prevents the mind from welcoming relief. The blue sky and the warm breeze. The morning mist on the lake...

"Division Line"
You criticize literature, right? You analyze it’s progression by looking for answers in between the levels of growth. But when the progression regards a character’s normal life, you can’t help but make connections in yours or other people’s lives. Then the line that divides reality and fiction is blurred, but you ask yourself, was there ever a line to begin with?

Thoughts on Art/Mystery
A sad thing about knowledge is that you destroy art in a way. You corrupt it. You feel bad for offending its beauty but you can’t help it. Part of its essential beauty lies in its mystery. You want to love it, and to do so is to grasp it truthfully, to know its every aspect, to fully comprehend it, but to do this you take with you a part of it. Forever more it will be incomplete to you.

McCarthy Thoughts II
McCarthy makes his characters strong by using limited and assertive dialogue. They say only what must be said and that displays direction, ambition and control. In order to follow this style the reader must first accept the style, but more importantly how the style affects the story as a whole; how the characters drive the plot, but also how the plot drives the characters.
