Who is Dane Metcalfe, anyway?
Dane Metcalfe
I just reread my post to " Alan Hope at Re:Hey, journo types" and I
don't like the way I came off sounding there.I hope I do better at
communicating with all of ya'll here.I certainly don't want anyone to think
I am accusing anyone in this group of anything, because that's not the case.
Nor am I resentful of anyone's social status .I'm not here to "prove"
something to the world And I do very much respect your right to have a
relaxing forum to unwind and relax in, your retreat from the burdens carried
by writers.Any aspiring writer is familiar with the romantic view of the
writer hunched alone over the typewtiter while the rest of the world lives
on.
If I didn't think my being here could be mutually satisfying for us all,
then I wouldn't be here.
Re-reading my post, I sounded bitter and resentful. I did to me, anyway.
That simply is not the case here.
While I am not an unhappy person., it can be stated as fact that I am very
dissatisfied about the state of the world we live in. Not so much as it
applies to me, but for the majority of humanity in general. God did not
create humanity to be the cattle of a few fiendishly clever individuals to
do with as they please, killing them off in wars , plagues, and pestilences
for financial and/or idealogical gain. On this I'll argue to my last breath.
But, like I said, I did not join this group to be a troublemaker or to stir
up stife and controversy. However, I will allow that controversy is not
always a bad thing, it can often lead to growth for everyone, provided it's
not conducted abusively, but is handled in a civilized manner.
Exactly Why Did I Join This Group?
I would like to be able to find a way to use my writing talents, if I have
any, for useful purposes. So far, I have been unable to discover from anyone
here if I even have any potential for that. But then again,not being vain,
when I say this, that's not completely true, either, because I know I can
write.I do have a need to know as a precisely as I might just where my
writing stands though.
If I have weaknesses that I have it in me to correct, I need to know so that
I can do what I need to do to fix it.
I understand now that critiquing is not elemental to the purposes of this
group, and I have no problem with that at all.
In fact, upon reflection, I can understand the logic that usenet critiques
are practically worthless. What's that old saying, "an opinion is like
an...,"? Well, you know...
But surely it's not unreasonable to expect some kind of feedback, a helpful
hint as to what kind of direction might be suited well for me, give it up,or
something! But, it's not for me to come in here with expectations.
It might be held that I am not a writer and don't belong here.And, it could
well be true, if the definition is someone who has published or at least
submitted work. If that's the standard then I will be the first to agree
that, no, I am no writer.
But, I will also respect my feeling, that, perhaps even if I am not a "Misc
Writers writer", I am still a writer just the same.Anyone would have a hard
time convincing me differently. Over the years I have written what seemed to
me good prose that was given away to friends, where it was always my policy
that they have the only copy in existance. That's just the way I am.
As far as the material on my site,
< http://www.geocities.com/quack_deala/ >
the only reason I have it is because most of it was just written
recently(like within the last month) for the purpose of internalizing
painful feelings so that they could be dealt with. I've never considered
myself a poet. I don't understand poetry. But truthfully speaking, I do
consider the two essays, "Outside Your Castle Walls" and "May is Over" , as
being poetical in nature What that means, if anything, I haven't a clue..I
wish I could have just one professional opinion on them. Does my writing
have promise, or is it trash that only I'm deluding myself over...?
A bigger dilemna for me at the present, is how to classify it as to genre.
.I don't mean the love/relationship aspect, because that is something I
don't really write about, because the subject matter seems to be way above
my head.
( : Ain't it ever!!!! : )
Some really useful information to me would be how one would classify it
accordingly as to it's introspective nature of contemplating the underlying
reality of the human perspective, perhaps leaning towards philosophical
conceptualizations of man's place in the universe. Would that be engendered
(if that word is misplaced, forgive me) as spiritual prose?
Anyway, if I have writing skills, it is not by way of formal education, it
is only a result of natural talent and simply from reading, reading,
reading, and and more reading. I never applied myself in high school, I was
too busy doing other things like smoking weed. As to college, I went a
couple of months...
So I'm not saying I'm smart! The evidence belies that.
That doesn't mean I haven't educated myself on subjects I have chosen to
become knowledgeable in. I carry a range of applied studies arranged to give
me the biggest picture I can give myself about what is true.What is the true
nature of reality.What is my real standing with the Creator, and what are
the qualities of that? If God is the Creator of all, then is He is the
creator of evil also. Would not the universe be the body of God? If so,
then it would be true that in accordance with Kabbahlistic Doctrine that we
each have within us the divine spark of God, which is our duty to
nurture?????
I can go pretty deep into this, but later, if any would be interested. It
would be something I would want to present properly researched and
referenced, so as to be of value to you as more than just someone off the
streets opinion. I will add that it is my belief that in order for one to
discover truth, it becomes as an absolute that one must assemble as many
facts possible multidimensionally so as to enable one to construct a model
upon which to form a belief.And irregardless of established doctrine, if the
unquestionable facts don't fit the model, then it's the model that must be
thrown away, not the facts.
And so, that being said, here's where I can state that I know I am good at
something. That is research. Or internet research, anyway
I have a way of finding information and very good urls that are obscure and
hard to find on search engines, simply by the applied effort of following
hyperlinks from page to page.If the information is on the internet, I will
find it , probably, if for no other reason than sheer persistence...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------
So, if there were three or four questions I would ask the group, they would
be the following:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------
1.)What catagory or genre of writing would compositions as outlined above be
classified as?
2.)Does anyone know how marketable such writings might be?
3.)Do I have anything to offer in such an endeavor; i.e, can I consider
myself as potentially having the talent necessary for such goals, or am I
deluding myself if I think I have any more ability than any other
run-of-the-mill wanna be writer to be able to stand up to the competition?
4.)Is anyone aware of any kind of opportunities that might in any way be
available to me in the way conducting internet research profitably, or if
not profitably, then at least in a way benificial to society at large?
[Note: I am also pretty good at legal research, and I can write pleadings
that meet procedural guidelines as well as effectively presenting the
necessary legal authority the petition is relying upon for relief. I know
that for a fact, having taken on the small town good ole boy network around
here enough to make myself a believer, as well as the status quo. But, I
really have no interest in such undertakings, unless it's perhaps related to
constititutional or at least civil rights issues.I have no use for bottom
dwelling tort feasers...In fact, stay tuned at the bottom of this post for
short note on attornment, the root word for attorney.just to show you what
fine hanging material they would make..]
Such input from technically proefficient ( I really need a dictionary or a
thesaurus, or spell check, or something!), anyways, would be a great help to
me.
That being said, I am going to take this opportunity here to tell you some
more about me.You can choose to believe it, or not. I for one, try not to
place too much value on words, at least until actions have established them
as being something one can rely upon.That being said, I think I've
established that I have not joined the group to come in here bullshitting
you that I am something I'm not. I'm a loser, plain and simple.There's no
way to conclude otherwise, given the circumstances undeniable.
Or is there? I can't lie to myself that I haven't pretty much squandered my
life to the extent that I have got myself into a corner without a visible
means of escape.Construction work has been my field, but never enough
application in one particular area to develop any real skills. I just
drifted around from job to job doing what it took. Even from driving an ice
cream truck to selling drugs. Well, I certainly found out the futility of
that career choice!
But, on the flip side, I have acquired KNOWLEDGE! And no one can ever take
that away.No, never.It wasn't something handed to me on a silver platter,
and it has never made me a penny.it's not even a thing I have ever really
been able to share.In my world, conversations such as the one I'm having
here would have lasted maybe 30 seconds before the glazing of the eyes
indicated that there was no longer anyone there.And that's the truth. I have
had a few discussions with those who were interested, no doubt.But I can't
recall any good one's.Mostly anyone I'm around are only concerned with
whatever immediate animalistic goal happens to be on their mind at the time.
But, heck.You might as well know that I'm not around anyone much anyway.This
is where I go, wherever my computer can take me, very few other places.
Mingling with the sheep just doesn't offer me anything really, and I have no
offerings of the material things so valued by them.
From time to time I do contemplate where I might be in life if I would have
applied myself in some way in those times it really mattered. But when I do,
I always think of the chance that I might have ended up as an executive in
some corporation plundering the citizens while I enjoyed luxury and
privilege at their expense. Such thoughts make me shudder. I'd rather be
down here, thank you.
Ok, enough rambling about me...
In spite of my stature, or maybe even causel to it, I feel I have something
to offer the group. If nothing else, a different perspective on certain
things maybe, that your unaware of because of your positions in society.
But, that's all theoretical.
I can say with assurance that I have a lot of free time that a lot of you
might not have. Especially after reading the post Wendy Greenly referred me
to.
I believe that there are two paths a person can take in life. Service to
self, or service to others. And I definately believe that the service to
self road does not lead one where they would want to be going!
I hate lies and deception, but if I told you I don't lie I would be a liar.
I at least try to not lie to myself, but I can never even be really assured
of that. I can tell you I won't lie to you to your injury and my personal
gain.I know myself well enough to be able to give assurance of that.And I
can confidently tell you as well that if I give you my word on something,
then I will do my very best to honor that commitment. Not because you are
"elite members" of society, but because you are members of society, and
that's a justifiable expectation that anyone should have of me.And I of
them, for that matter.Too bad it's not that kind of world.
Anyone is free to ask me anything at anytime. I will either answer you
honestly, or take executive privilege :)
I welcome opposing viewpoints upon any belief I might have, and if you show
me that I was in error, then I will be grateful to you for the correction.
If we have disagreements, I will respect your right to have your own
opinions. I am happy to discuss beliefs and religious tenants and/or
political theory on an abstract level, but I would ask that anything
presented as fact be given with whatever evidence is being relied upon, and
I will likewise try to always be the same with you.
(Do I come off here sounding presumptuous? I hope not.... I am down to earth
and fun loving, and I have a sense of humor, though it might be hard to tell
from the way I got started here....I did try to come in funny , though :).
That didn't work, so here I am with just some straight up communication. And
don't think I have some fantasy of immediate acceptance here. I know that's
not the way it works, anywhere. I will say that if the majority of the group
feels like I don't fit in for whatever reason, then I will bow out and find
someplace I am not seen as being detrimental (unless I determine that my
detraction is a good thing, naturally,
*wink*.
(darn, I can be so contrary)
If that's the way it is I won't even have my feelings hurt.
Ok, one last thing, for good faith
If anyone here is pressed for time and I can help them in any way, such as
conducting research for example, even legal research provided I can be
provided the information needed for effective research (No corporate
nonsense, please!), ask, and you will receive. No strings.(Time is a
commodity I am wealthy in, with plenty to share).Nothing will be expected in
return, no notes will be called in in the future.Of course, if I feel I am
being taken advantage of, I will simply refuse to continue participating in
that treatment.
But, really.
I don't expect you to believe a word of this.
Nope, not a single word.
There is only one rule that can be applied here.
Time will tell.
Comments?

[NOTE:On Attorneys....(I can't get online now, so I'm stuck with relying
upon saved html files in my computer, thus, no url to give you. I will post
it later, as this one is good to show the attorney critters)Well, I can't
find it right now.For no, I'll just have to go from memory----The word
attorney is dreived from the english word attorn, ot attornment, which was
the procedure used to ensure that when a slaveowner died all slaves were
transferred with the estate to the new property owners. I'll hunt this up
for ya'll later.

The earliest discussion in misc.writing about being a "real" writer that
I can find in the archives dates back to Jun 1991.
<http://www.google.com/groups?selm=1991Jun25.220857.25656%40sdd.hp.com>
Eric Dalen, back in 2000, said, "If you write, you're a writer."
In 1996, Wendy Chatley Green compiled a set of answers to the age old
question posed in a thread titled, "When can you call yourself a writer."
<http://www.google.com/groups?selm=328ce625.69378953%40news.concentric.net>
After listing the responses she'd collected, WCG added, "IMO, if you
think you're a writer, then you're a writer. You're a published writer
when you get a piece published. You're a successful writer when you are
happy with your success."
Seems so.

I'm not sure how much of this I missed, so just help me re-cap;
1) New poster thinks this is a subscription writing group.
2) New poster posts work.
3) New poster receives various responses, some bad some good.
4) New poster not sure whether to fight, flight or join in the laughter.
5) New poster fights with a few folks and picks out favourite enemies.
6) New poster appears to lose it completely, creates a couple of sock puppet
accounts and then begins to argue, discuss and support ideas with
him/herself and starts composing dodgy limericks to Stan and Sylvia.
Did I miss anything?

You missed the part about it being insane to argue or agree with
your sock.

>> no, that about sums it up
Okay, an honest hint for you.
Chill a little. Read a few more posts before adding your own take on things.
Gauge the tone, the humour and the touchy subjects.
There's people here that will fight you to the death over a semicolon if you
make a battle out of it. Others are more likely to club you gently with
humour.
If you find yourself in a fight you don't want, just drop the thread. If you
really do want it, chose your words carefully and try to back up your
argument with substantiated material.
But most of all, don't take any of it too seriously. Life's too short.
