A Night AloneA Night Alone:   
 
I've seen the souls  that walk the roads  and lonely wanderers be   
transfixed upon the neon lights  that shining like a sea  may fill the streets and drown the pains  in its surreal decree  of drunken nights,  and endless sights,  the empty and the free   
my world still rails  as dark assails  the dimming talk of "we."   
The calming of the crispest winds  that follow like a dream  seems to refresh and cool the skin,  though this may only seem  to hold onto echoic sighs  that travel like a stream   A Night Alone

Letter to a Condom      Dear Used Condom on the ground,   
I’m writing to you because nobody gives a fuck about you anymore. I writing because you’re so fragile in your rubbery white skin, so weak and delicate. Alone, abandoned, used—kinda like me.   
I’m writing to you because I need someone to talk to, who won’t talk back. I don’t need a shoulder to cry on, I just need someone or something to be there.   
To me, you’re a symbol of a good time once had. A day where you felt alive and invincible, and not just some useless puppet. A time where even for a moment, you h Letter to a Condom

My Name is Caleb Niederer

Journal Entry: Tue Apr 15, 2008, 3:13 PM
Hi everyone. I said once I turned 18, I'd tell everyone my first and last name. The reason for the 18 rule is 1) I'm paranoid, and 2) once you turn 18, everything you sign is in your name. It's on-file. If you wanted to stalk me, you could do it whether I kept it a secret or not. So, since my cover's blown and I'm an adult now, I figured I'd mention it.

It's Niederer. Caleb Niederer. It's pronounced "Need-er." The extra "e-r" is in there for no reason whatsoever. Something about it being a Swiss pronunciation of a German name, or visa versa. That said, my username is pronounced "nee-deck." It's the first five letters of my last name plus my first initial. My old school ID name, minus the number they gave us pertaining to grade level. Not very creative, but I liked the way it sounded, it was easy, and it stuck.

Oh, and I have a lot more pictures from my trip to the Caribbean up on my flickr account. It's rare that I'm in so many photos, but at least now I have a current picture of me.

FLICKR ACCOUNT: [link]

EDIT: Oh, I decided to take :iconczarewich:'s advice and record myself reading a few poems. It's kinda fun. I'll probably do a few more of these (as well as redo "Destroy This Poem"'s performance.) Hope people like this.

EDIT AGAIN: okay. It should be working now. Don't consider this any sort of website I plan on making. I'm really just using it because DA doesn't support HTML and player embedding.

Actually, half of the seniors skipped last Friday, and half plan on skipping this Friday. I'm skipping both. XD

I went out of curiosity mostly, but I kinda like what he had to say. Libertarianism is very much a sort of refined anarchy, and I can't help but have a portion of it appeal to me. A part of me knows it might not be the best system, but in an odd way, that's why I like it. I might still vote for Obama, though, assuming he doesn't do any more drastic policy changes.

Every excuse is legit. Reasons, however...


Kitten McNuggets would be grand. I also kinda like Fillet O' Flesh, but not nearly so entertaining.

Lame. Senior Skip Day is almost always the day before prom. So what if said day is a half day. Lame. Though Ron Paul is a worthy skip, if only for the sake of curiousity.

So much for my admonitions. You had three legit excuses.

And that which they've already cooked is probably Kitten McNuggets.

Interesting thought, and one that had not occurred to me.

1) Kinda sick
2)Senior Skip Day
3)RON PAUL!

I went to see Ron Paul speak in Farm City, Idaho, which is a really small hick town near Caldwell.

The school Nazis are too lazy to turn me into food. If anything, they'd give me a very stern warning and make me eat what they've already cooked.

"I am complex; I contain multitudes." Whitman's "Song of Myself" rings a bell.

Technically, all we are are a series of parts, so I guess you could speak about every aspect of yourself that way. I'm guessing TGV is your name. What's the T stand for?

Yes, I know. TGV is not particular. She also won four school spelling bees in a row.

I speak of myself in the third person only when I speak of one of my personae.

That's not grammar, that's spelling. And yes, I failed it with that. I'm not so much Grammar Lad nowadays, but I'm still way obsessed with having things spelled correctly.

Thanks for that. :)

Yeah, I still want to read Fight Club. I can't find it anywhere.

Yes, hitting your head on a desk and laughing uncontrollably tends to disturb other people on some level or another.

I did. It's late. XD

Yeah, when I have some time and money, and nothing to do with either of them, I'll see Forbidden Kingdom. I checked, and it actually has been getting decent reviews.

By the by, if you still want to borrow Fight Club, confirm this and I'll send it by way of Kelly, who can then get it to you Monday, assuming he doesn't inadvertently abandon it somewhere or start reading it for himself.

Heh heh. Yay for retardedness. I actually got to see Kelly's reaction on the matter of membership and your response (below), since we'd just gotten back from Forbidden Kingdom and I'd sort dozed off in a random corner while he checked DA. Dare say, woke me up.
~Neomalith:iconNeomalith: Apr 19, 2008, 11:36:55 PM
Heh, I told you I saw Horton Hears a Who... You even mentioned afterwards how you didn't want to tell me about the Anime parody thing so it wouldn't ruin it or something and a couple other things. Who had the retarded moment now?
~niedec:iconniedec: Apr 19, 2008, 7:16:59 PM
I'll see it if you see Horton Hears a Who.

Actually, no, I won't. I'm broke. And what with prom, I have a feeling that will continue for at least a few weeks.

I figured you did that. And really, I don't think fatigue has much to do with it. I can't count how many times I've been able to cover up retarded moments with "it's late." It wasn't that late. You just forgot. Proof? Hitler's last name.

Ow, I just smacked my head on the desk laughing so hard... I equated 'member' as someone who paid, so I read member as subscriber. Remember, that was done at midnight after I'd been working for 7 hours...
But yeah, that was one of my more retarded revelations.

On an unrelated note, just saw Forbidden Kingdom and it was quite good. Go see it.
~niedec:iconniedec: Apr 19, 2008, 8:28:18 AM
Kelly, everyone's a member. Either that, or they're a subscriber. And no, I still don't have a subscription.

Now as for the slow part...

Yeah, I've seen almost all of Miyazaki's movies. I definitely think Spirited Away is his best work, and Princess Mononoke was a bit too serious and surreal for my tastes. That, and the "save the forest" plot wasn't as good as it could have been. Still a good movie, nonetheless.

I haven't seen Children of Men. I might have to watch it sometime.

Random moment of gloat: it actually hasn't been a bad first couple of days, I have to say. I've had 46 views on "Reconstruction" alone, and I 've been favorited six times (two different pieces). But a great deal of this is thanks to you and little Neomalith. So thanks again! And I shall upload more soonish.

I think I'm getting addicted...
~niedec:iconniedec: Mar 29, 2008, 9:18:17 PM
Your welcome. I remember getting on here when I first joined and thinking "wow. One week and two views. This sucks." It takes time for most people to notice you, no matter how good you are. Once they do, though, you're talented enough that you'll probably just keep getting more.

Speaking of watching people, I currently have some 80+ deviations from people I need to see. That's the problem with watching photographers. When they upload things, they want to upload their entire roll of film. -_-v
Just a warning.

Anyway, hope you can fit in here after a while, and I hope to see more artwork from you. ^^
