Going to try rerecording a phone post I accidentally deleted on Thursday...

Please remember to excuse any phrasings.

While I do have a nice speaking voice, and do some acting, I currently am burdened with The Sick(tm), so my voice is less -than-stellar. Add to that the fact that my Tourette's forces peculiar pauses from time to time, and the fact that I'll be speaking from memory, not from a piece of paper...well, we'll see how it goes...

I think I'm too flattered to speak. My writer friend Joe, aka pensylvania_joe, has paid to me a compliment far too kind. I'm both shocked and awed. Now I've got more pressure than before, and my attempts to work with iambic pentameter over the past few days seem like idle scribblings.

So, Joe, both thank you and fuck you. *smooches*

"pensylvania_joe 11:11 am - I think I've discovered the truth

I started reading Kafka yesterday. I read A Message from the Emperor and I'm about ten pages into Metamorphosis so far.. and I've come to a revelation.

Those who've never read Kafka need only read A Message From The Emperor to understand and verify what I am about to say.

Ben sTone IS (or perhaps was) Franz Kafka.

Their writing styles are so remarkably similar its frightening. When I started reading Kafka, I read a biography, and then a description of his writing. Hearing it described, I immediately thought that it sounded like Ben. Once I started reading, I knew it was true.

And when I read A Message From The Emperor to Nykki, she totally backed me up.

So if there is reincarnation, believe it. Ben sTone is the reincarnation of Franz Kafka.

That is all."

It's not true, but damn. Thanks, Joe.
