A story of a young man going down
Quote:
A few days I ago:
A man who is half Mexican and half British walks around on a late summer night finding himself constantly surprised by the presence of the stiff corpse of a native American. Amidst these encounters he reflects on the gap between his parents' cultures and how this conflict eventually will compell him to take revenge on society in a way that noone has ever before thought possible...!

I've written it now. It's a kind of political text, if you please, and it deals with some of the most difficult question we have to face every day.
Shows what can happen to a seemingly intelligent young man who thinks he understands, but doesn't quite get the big picture. It shows what happens when you have reached a certain level of understanding, but aren't willing to make the sacrifice such insight demands.
Apart from that, the language isn't particularily good, sometimes unessential material takes over, and it could just as well be random crap written by a ten year old. But that's not true I tell you.
Anyway I want to publish it so that someone else than me can read it.
So please, how can I do this with the least of troubles?

That would be nice. Problem is that I have to find somewhere to upload it. Takes effort :/

www.home.no free space for all us special people.
And then get FlashXp, (or something) and upload it! Then, spam it all over all places, so everybody knows about it and reads it, thus giving you a chance that somebody who knows somebody reads it, and then youre famous!
Please give me a when youre rich?

Sorry to dissapoint you, but I've only spent two hours or so total in writing this mess. It's only three pages long.
But I think it's fun to write, and I want somebody else to read it so that they can tell me how awful it is, because that would give me a good feeling I think. It's trange but true.
Thanks for the page though, I'm creating an account just now.

Well, its always fun to read what others write. At least as long as you can point at them and laugh afterwards...( ) And some of the best things i've read in norwegian has been at 3 or so pages, so small = not neccesraily bad. (Look at Jens Bjørneboe, some of his essays are quite small, but a good read!)
AND it is fun to write!

I don't think I can quite live up to the Jens Bjørneboe standard, but it is fun to write.
That site was brilliant btw. I'll upload the story tomorrow night if I have time. I am a busy, busy man.
