A Warning To The Wise:

A WARNING TO THE WISE:

Hidden within these pages
Are secrets, dreams, fantasies, ideas, and adventures.
None of them are real,
But they still happened.
And although his book is full of truths and glorious tales,
It is also full of lies, false visions, and terrible accounts.
You may be tempted to read it,
But you will be overwhelmed, confused, and crippled.
This text is very personal to me,
And the pages are very dear to me.
This is not a journal.
This is not a diary.
It is a personal record that is meant for my eyes
And mine only.

...This is the first page of my DJ.

Just thought some of you might enjoy it.

Ok, to clarify, this is from my DJ on paper, beside my bed. This is NOT an online DJ I'm posting, just a page I thought people might find interesting.

Nice intro page. I presume the tension between the tempting message of the wondrous content combined with the warning of 'don't read, this is private' to be intentional.

If someone actually read it, would you be pissed? Without an explicit privacy note, would whoever you live with think it's perfectly fine to riffle through papers and notebooks lying around your room?

I used to write some of my dreams with one code word. I'd use the word 'pie' to refer to sex. Now I don't really worry. I think I can expect reasonable privacy from my family. And I have no reason to be embarrassed if they find out I like girls. With penises. Just kidding. But seriously.

Probably not, unless it's someone I barely know or a friend that would think weirdly of me.

I just wrote this is mine. Good way of saying "Do not read" without making them want to read it even more.

Wow, what a wonderful little poem. You've inspired me to write my own for my dream journal!

**deathxel** · 01-21-2010 04:18 PM

are you going to post your DJ online? If so, your last two lines will have to be changed lol

Sounds like you were trying to emulate the dead poet society

“I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately, I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, To put to rout all that was not life and not when I had come to die Discover that I had not lived.”

-Henry David Thoreau

They would say this poem before they started D.P.S meeting. Sort of how you might read that before you make an entry.

very cool idea!
