Some books, like Great Gatsby, are timeless...expressing eternal memes of desire, frustration, loss, or whatever unchanging human concept. This book is not timeless. Haphazard leaving around of documents like this one are why younger people are absolutely right to either ignore or ridicule the generation prior (or more). Then, the elderly are ignored/shunted into malpractice prone nursing homes as one can only stand a joke for so long.
This one, from 1978, is another discovery at a Texas estate sale amongst an eclectic mix of cheap, thriller paperbacks, old Asimov magazines, and survival guides. Naturally, I have samples of the later two and skipped the first choice. Let's look at some sample pages and see what sort of vaguely funny comment I create.
So...1978...and here is documented the original creators of the modern slang connotations of the word "bear." Much like the original creators of psychology's DSM (diagnostic manual for your brain's malfunctions), these three brave innovators barricaded themselves inside a lush New York high rise overlooking Central Park for an entire weekend surviving on whatever remnant luxuries from prior soirees until they had created the new homosexual lexicon.
This...is exactly how the homeless in San Francisco dress now which provides the basis for my calculations of the speed of fashion from the highest economic level to the lowest.
Oh and this, is just awkward like John Mayer born into a time that is not his own.
