"To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down." - Woody Allen

Don't waste time ogling these great looking guys when you could be reading and enjoying their ideas! Welcome to my younger brother Ben Law, the first contributing writer to the blog! I know the road has been long and sparse so far, but today we've realized ourselves again as writers and now will continue to try to share the fruits of our labors with you, here. If you've been here since the beginning, thank you! If you're just joining us for the first time please enjoy and participate! Bon appetite!

Best,
Booker and Benjamin Law

The Substance Of Despair

There are moments in time I’d like to return to, just as one who finds an activity he likes would make a hobby of it. But, this feeling has as its only possible end the evocation of yet another of life’s abiding sorrows-

May I Explain Myself?

So, today I've conceived of a new way to use the blog. I no longer will use it primarily as a means of promoting pieces, but as a means of comprehensively exposing what I hope will ultimately be my audience and the readers of the book(s) to the author himself and the processes by which I generate my work.

Lumbering Back From A Slumbering

Here we go! Tell someone about it- I'm returning to blogging effective immediately!

Cheers!
