Popping The Proverbial Maraschino

Romantic Dramedy - Possibly the world's worst combination of pseudo-words, and a dastardly classification for writing. For better or worse that's the genre my work fits in. I'm a hopeless romantic that wants to say something important - I just can't keep a straight face while I'm doing it.

I'm currently in a writing class with The Groundlings. Look for me to post my writing assignments as I finish them.
Your scribe,

Donovan

Oh my fucking God D.... this is AMAZING!!! I laughed so hard I shat and fell down simultaneously.

I knew you wrote, and always suspected that you wrote well, but your humble/stingy ass never turned me onto anything, so I had to finally track it down with the ol' Google.

Your pops is a riot. But to your narrative-penning credit, I could have visualized the man Keith Sr. in all his court jester's generous and kindly glory from the story alone, even if I had never met him.

So many good one-liners, the Christian Bale, reference... off the chain man! I wish you had a little more pride in your white heritage beyond the observation that your melanin-free skin is "pasty", but Norcal Liberal self-deprication is far more commercially viable commodity these days, being as how granola grinders read, blog, and consume, and well, the ragtag remnants of my Viking empire only consume meth, and the lies of Sara Palin. Gotta work on that with them, we've fallen far :-)


Plus I've been told by several folks that my Jewish and Italian officially "mud blood" disqualifies me from pretensions to master-racedom: awwww shuckers, billyray, cletus, hwhy cain't i play wiffer y'alls?

Regardless, I'm gonna have to kidnap you and make you sit through a Eurocentrism appreciation class.
We took over the world dangit... so what if we destroyed it in the process?!? lol. Though we'd be shit out of luck searching for such an old-world indoctrination class at UCSC, I'm pretty sure we might could scare one up one at USC, Princeton or Harvard, lol.


anyhoo,
I would LOVE to cross-post or link to this on Your American Dollar under the American Experience and American Identity tags, if you'd be down. totally applicable. Your work would add a totally different, jovial, whitty, and otherwise positive dimension to the site, and what represents American opinion.
And that's the goal (wink).
