    Hello fool world and all you rare ones who dare to dare and know all too well how to extract and savor the best and say "yes" to the 'bloody' rest. My name is Roger Pytlewski and I am the new poet philosopher on the 'block' and as far as I can tell, the first to artistically update and expand on Friedrich Nietzsche's reality.

    The following are excerpts from my book 'Outsider Too," subtitled 'Seequest' that I am offering for the low price of $19.95 plus $3.00 shipping. The book is 8" x 11", loose leaf and consists of approximately four hundred aphorisms and a few poems. It is the first of several books of aphorisms and poetry that I hope to publish before I croak. Your purchase will dispel my skeptical suspicion that like Fred, I too am alone on this beautiful planet and hopefully lead to the financial infusion of my publishing company, Hyperborean Press and the publishing of the first hard cover edition of this book. Enjoy!

Introduction.

    This book is a collage of seescapes and insights into the many facets of life. It is warmly dedicated to the genius and memory of Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, the most intelligent and aware 'hueman' animal to roam the planet to date. I affectionately think of him as Big Brain the Heartistic Huemanataurean. No one has left larger imprints on the vapor trails of the Hyperborean Highways. It is also dedicated to individualism and individuals, both present and future and the proposition that all men and women should be given the opportunity to develop and exhibit their talents and/or intelligence to the extent of their abilities. It attempts to address and answer the troublesome age old questions: Where are we? What are we? What are we doing here? And perhaps even more problematic; How do we relate and cope with 'this place' once the former questions have raised their curious heads and we have seen through the gaping jaws of the majority reality into the confusing Abyss?

TEXT

1.

Goal: A highly developed sense of visual and audible imagery, honed to a well developed sense of precise muscular movement. In the end all we have are imagery and feelings. Since order is merely a special case of chaos the concept of the truth is ridiculous. Truth as art, however, is exquisite: Seescape word paintings of infinite perspective and coloration....All valid impressions of reality and art. There are countless truths, but there is no 'truth.' Impressions! Impressions! Impressions!

2.

A person who despises hedonism must, by definition, depise 'love of life.' What a curse! A true hedonist is courageous, cock-sure of itself, full of itself and not   afraid to die. Quantity seldom takes precedent over quality. Who can say that hedonism is more absurd than any other form of hueman behavior? After all, we are all self- destructing. It is just a matter of rate.

3.

Life could very well be the Universe's attempt to get a glimpse at itself.

4.

'High Tea' is unquestionably the most eloquent example of tribal drug usage to date.

5.

The body is such a fickle entity. Just when you conclude that all of your seriousness and hard work is to no avail, the body unfurls a few feet of sail and transforms your aching sores into breathless shores.

6.

The Secret of Living: Believe in yourself. Each move you make is no more or no less important than all the moves made by each and every person, living or dead. Take yourself seriously, no matter how mundane or crazy your life may seem and others will take you seriously and perhaps even admire you. After all, in the grand scheme of things, huemans are most likely of very little importance. It is absolutely essential to attain a feeling of respect and/or acceptance for each and every move, if one is to retain a feeling of awe and respect for the magnificent, awesome and frightening 'Spectacle of Life.' Nothing is more important than your friends, your loved ones and your desires. Life is truly a question of balance. If you are bored, kill yourself. Do us all a favor! Art is God. Sex, fishing, hunting, tennis, stamp collecting and the like, are Goddesses and I am not sure which is more important.

7.

When the lower classes set against and kill their masters, a new force is unleashed that is infinitely more beautiful and infinitely more evil than any multifarious peasant or stoic noble. It fascinates and consumes as it burns alone in solitude: Enter the Individual!

 

8.

Nihilists feel that the best part of them goes down the toilet. Idealists totally deny the experience. Realists enjoy a good merde and find it an enlightening and egalitarian experience.

9.

I never concern myself with morality. Fairness and a good conscience are all that count. Ethical Agnosticism.

10.

Free us from the throes of all this confusion and chaos and we would probably be bored to death.

11.

Form, beauty, composition and line define the talented. We are all artists, no matter what our endeavor. After all, the art of living is the highest art form.

12.

Old Sock said: "The unexamined life is not worth living." Old Marv said: "The examined life is even less worth living?" Just kidding folks.

13.

Pity and nausea are relatively easy to deal with, but contempt is another matter. Contempt is a million-headed monster. Question: Does the Universe dislike itself?

14.

The greatest most touching moments in the history of life have undoubtedly gone unnoticed.

15.

Few experiences surpass an excellent dinner with good friends. Blessed are the farmers, fishermen and chefs.

16.

Anyone who disagrees with the proposition that the hueman animal is the most interesting animal on Earth, absolutely floors me. Maybe they just like to argue. After all, it is a given that all life is magic.

17.

My favorite Christian holidays: Thankstaking and Christmyth.

18.

It seems to me that a creator worth his/her/its salt would not create life that has to kill and consume other life forms to stay alive. On the other hand, who can deny the pleasures of a well prepared fowl meal?

19.

It's a rare child who gets a glimpse of his/her parents before the age of thirty and it's a rare adult who gets a glimpse of life before his/her death.

20.

There are moments when we attain levels of perceptual acuity that are fascinating, frightening, exhilarating and nauseating. From this height we cannot help but muse at the naiveté' of the "yes" sayers and the optimistic. Then the moment slowly passes and we gratefully rejoin the sleepwalkers and once again become optimistic "yes" sayers.

21.

When one realizes that huemans are animals doing what all animals do; hunting, eating, sleeping mating, nesting raising young, fighting, etc., it becomes obvious that it is very unlikely that anything of importance is occurring on the surface of this planet; language, art and science aside.

22.

It may seem indecent for the rich to enjoy their position in the face of massive poverty, but without them what would the poor aspire to? Wisdom and integrity? How ridiculous! The latter are reserved for the very very few and unfortunately the rich are seldom among them.

23.

It is essential that one develop the art of not letting being watched change one's behavior. The critical question is whether the observer is fascinated or the Grand Inquisitor or both. L'Chaim! Posthumicus! L'Chaim!

24.

Neurotics bore me, Sociopaths amuse me and Proctologists confuse me.

25.

The perception of age is very distorted when we are young. At twenty we see people of thirty as adults and people of fifty as the ancient ones on death watch. By forty or fifty the perception of age becomes fairly clear. We feel like twenty with our body falling apart all around us.

26.

He/she who isn't interested in anything becomes an uninteresting person. He/she who isn't impressed by anything is either a god or a fool.

27.

If a young girl is music for the eyes, a beautiful woman is a symphony.

28.

A religion that encourages praying, a form of begging, must denounce the healthy instinct of pride as a sin.

29.

The rope over the abyss is not nearly as tight as it could be. In stormy weather the slack can drive you mad.

30.

Where is the worst place in the city to eat? In a hospital! Doesn't this strike anyone else as bizarre? I know you wouldn't feed your Ferarri kerosene, Doctor!

31.

Feet are much like people. They are rather independent during the day, but at night they really enjoy sleeping together.

32.

People with perfect bodies vaklempt me and people with perfect minds elude me.

33.

Get to know and accept your monkey and with any luck your lizard and everything concerning acceptance of reality will pretty much fall into place.

34.

Water a plant and you get a flower. Fertilize folk music and you get a symphony. Educate a child and you enrich society and create hope.

35.

"Why is it that when I take a long, hard, honest look at life I want to vomit?," say the nihilists. "Because is it only natural for the child to rebel against the parent," say the high ones.

36.

41.

Caution! All ye who would look beneath the surface, for Life is a lady that is very particular about who she allows under her garments.
