on jereme dean

Brandon Scott Gorrell has organized this: a time in space where many internet people blog about other internet people. Most of the people are writers. Jereme Dean is one of them. I was assigned to write about Jereme. I'm glad I was. Here is what I've learned about Jereme based on a long email conversation:

1. Jereme would recommend that all humans read You Get So Alone At Times That It Just Makes Sense by Charles Bukowski. I haven't read this book. Jereme says it has caused deep emotion in him. He has read a lot of Bukowski.
2. Jereme taught me that Shel Silverstein wrote A Boy Named Sue. He thinks that Dr. Suess would beat Silverstein in a clean fist-fight. I disagree.
3. Jereme likes many internet people, and mentioned many of the people I have linked to on the right side of this blog. GOOD JOB INTERNET WRITERS.
4. We agree: Writers are not precious. Words are not precious. Once you've written them, let go, they're not yours, they are 'ours'.
5. Jereme has many posts on his blog I've enjoyed reading and agreed with. This is one of them, this is another.
6. My favorite Jereme Dean quote: LOVE IS OUTWARD
7. We talked about arbitrary differences between the nature of 'scene' and 'community'. We disagreed, a little. I don't want to write about it here, sldfkjdklsjflsd
8. Jereme has dealt drugs, been a drug addict, been arrested, been homeless many times, been gang affiliated, shoplifted for a year to survive, and slept on a couch for a year. He has overcome all of this 'on his own'. GOOD JOB JEREME DEAN, SERIOUSLY
9. Jereme has extensive movie knowledge, but I stumped him with Michael Haneke. Watch those movies, Jereme.
10. Jereme's Two Minute Mind
    
11. We agree on politics: NO
12. Where Jereme sees himself in 10 years (answered with a YouTube video):

Chris Killen asked me that final question for his thing about me.

I have tried to keep this post short. I like shorter blocks of words on the internet.

Thanks Jereme. Thanks everyone. Thanks Internet. THANKS BRAIN.
