Short stories and death

Ahhhh yes time for another intresting world changing blog (no sarcasm intended)

I started by googling fantasy short stories since i wanted to have some different results (and yes im geek who'd a thunk?) and this was one of the first one i came up with wich i thougt was hillarious and quite original                  The losing of Mr Brook
Bookmarked this site for later checking if they have more of such funky stuff

Read This one in a random google and friggin loved it
pretty sure its about dreams and the magic they work on us wonder how/why the classify this is a fantasy story

I started googling some random things with short stories in them and came across this short story by Neil Gaiman (for those of you who dont know him hes one of the best damn authors out there) he is the author of the discworld series,stardust and some more amazing things but what really caught me first was the title and when i saw it was by Mr Gaiman i had to read it
It left me horrendously baffled like much of his writin does and while ive only read the thing once and the only thing im on to so far is that the girls are concepts in our world....or aliens
hate that guy for reminding me im not the sharpest knife in the drawer

Wikipedia short stories

This was my next stop since i needed to learn a bit more about the form of writing short stories and essentially its a form of stories that have developed since we didnt really have alot of writing material
In this train of thougt i think that short stories will die with the youngest generatin of today for no better reason then i think it might become obsolete
but people said that television would kill raidio that torrent would kill movie theathers and that mankind would degenerate into mice with the stupidity if generations of today but wich Sugata Mitra has proven is false

I read alot (2-3 books a month) so audio books have never been my thing so i decided to skip that part mostly because i dont like how audio books give us the impression of how the reader thougt the characters were and not allowing me to form my own (thoug the good soldier Sveikj on icelandic was preety good)

 All in all i like short stories even thoug i think they will die out and like to read them once in a while but they almost always leave me unsatisfied since i think character devolepment is almost always the biggest part of most stories

HAHA fooled ya!
anyways. yai addition

In the time of starting this writing im going to listen to the audio version of the "how to talk to girls at parties" wich is linked above.
I go into this with a grin on my face and trying to like it but my immedieta dissatisfaction of listening to audio books since as ive said before i hate the way the reader of the story/book puts emphasis on the things i disagree with (propably means my social skills are in the gutter) i like to put my own heart in the characters as only i understand them and they put emphasis on words and talk like those characters
anyways sounds like im repeating the same things

came across this site in my travels since Mr Gaiman's short story is leaving my brain in the state of congealed soup. like the 2-3 other audio sites ive landed on it either requires a download or money
the bastards!

ive come to a conclusion
Mr Gaiman's story is about aliens visiting earth
no more talk of that story

Another site i came across in my travels when i went far from the 20 first googles think this was one was on page 7-10 and it offers A bunch of sites with free audio books

The Lottery Is a short story by Shirley Jackson that i really liked and it has been televises made into a ballet and put on a mp3 file,
its pretty short(duh) and shows the level of violence that has been in our society since ancient times and on many levels both literal and....under the surface? still rages in full strength in some as i would like to call them unevolved parts of the world and yes people might take this as a racist slur but its present in the westren world to (southern US,Iceland,souther part of Italy) to name a few where it still rages quite violently

I'l admit im starting to stretch this blog a bit so im gonna cut its life support here
Making a new conclusion after this addition is hard unless i start talking about the short story that will not be named.

So signing off again THIS TIME FOR REALZ!
