Closing the doors
Last week it became too cold to have the doors open
the house has gained back that old smell
the air in the house is thick
when the television or youtube isn't on
there is a strong silence
I no longer hear the birds
or the kids screaming "fuck" and "condom" at each other
I laid down
Took a two hour nap
In my nap-mare a man went on a stage and said, "I think he was a has-been. He wrote one book and he could no longer get it up."
Then I woke up
and went online

The Human War Movie is Almost Done
Here is a link to read about it.
After the movie comes out
I'm going to super famous.
After I am super fucking famous I'm going to sell all of my books to Random House or Vintage.
Vintage will sell my books for 25 dollars a piece.
They will send me on a world wide tour.
I will have translations in over 30 languages.
Even Latin, Sanskrit and Mayan.
I will be asked for my opinion on world issues.
I will give really bleeding heart liberal answers about how people are good and we can all get along if we just read Noam Chomsky books.
I will never feel sad again.
I will have so much fucking money I will buy a very large house in Rhode Island next to the beach.
I will take up golfing.
I will have the money and time to sit and write long novels about families.
I will have dinner with Joyce Carol Oates and Jonathan Safran Foer.
I will be famous, have a college degree, lots of money, and a hot girlfriend.
I will be like a fucking God of literature.
Are you ready?

Writing something you know that makes no sense but you know will get you attention
In the Hipster article I wrote for Thought Catalog I wrote a bunch of shit about races and hipsters going to the military.
I don't know if this makes any sense.
I always liked how Norman Mailer said that masturbation was like evil and how you shouldn't do it, and all kinds of crazy things about women and black people.
I have never really believed that he even believed those things.
It just seemed like he was saying insane shit for fun.
I believe to be fun to say insane shit.
Saying that hipsters should go to the military is insane and has no real purpose.
Saying that black people don't become hipsters isn't really important but I knew it would get a reaction.
You see
this is where the fun is:
If you say something insane like, "Hipsters should go to the military"
You will bring out reactions that might tell the truth about certain people.
Like someone commented, "You think it is bad that young creative people are choosing not to kill people in the name of a country.... "
"There's always option Z) which is "don't invade other countries for domestic political/monetary reasons just because you fucking can". You make it sound as though it's inevitable or even right that American troops will be driving tanks up and down the side streets of sad little villages around the Middle East anyway, so, wouldn't it be cooler if Hipsters were driving those tanks, blaring Grizzly Bear and The Dirty Projectors over the PA and also sort of asking permission before raping and shooting the hot chicks at the village well?"
This is where the fun is:
They showed for me many common hipster beliefs. they proved my point that hipsters were against the military even more than I could.
Even though without the military oil wouldn't be so cheap, the shipping lanes in the ocean wouldn't be protected, no Japanese cell phones and video game systems and computers, no chinese crap for you to buy. Without the U.S. military North Korea would have taken South Korea. Endless amounts of shit.
Talking complete shit about the military just shows how ass backward your brain is.
It is one thing to say, "The United States Government have deployed the U.S. Military to do some shitty things."
But at the same time the military protects our borders and the ships that travel the oceans and the air so commercial planes can fly.

NEWS
Jordan Castro's dad took one my molars out. It was intense. Thank you Jordan and his dad.
I'm on pain killers right now. I have been dropping things all day and walking around in a daze.
I am talking funny right now.

Thought Catalog published a hipster article by me. There is a nice picture of Jack Kerouac above the article.
I wrote an article about DIT FEST that will appear on thought catalog soon. I don't know when.
Here is Brittany Wallace's REPORT on DIT FEST.
I think i want to write like an article a week and try to become like a journalist of some sort after I graduate college. I will probably attempt to go to South Korea to teach English after I graduate which will give me a year of time to write more articles.
If anyone has any information on how to get a job teaching english in south korea please write me an email at noah.cicero@gmail.com.
I already know about Dave's ESL cafe.
I'm looking for people who have done to give me info or connections, or to be references.
Thanks.

DIT FEST IS OVER
DIT FEST is over.
Sam Pink, Jordan Castro and Tao Lin all read.
It was probably one of the strangest weekends of my life.
I'm going to write an article about it for Thought Catalog so I won't write much more about it here.
Except for that everyone was really nice.
MORE NEWS
CMM is going to publish Best Behavior in the winter. My agent made the contract with them and it looks good. It looks like they have the money and will to promote the book, which is good.
Now I am working on cutting it down by maybe 20 pages.

Posted on Madador
My Maine trip was posted on Madador.
I feel kind of proud to be posted on Madador.
I think I want to be a travel writer.
Here is my Application
I will work for
$25,000 a year
paid travel expenses
okay health care
full dental
I care more about my teeth than my body currently.
I need a fast car.
Like a 1980s Fox Body Mustang
cigarettes
and adderall.
I can travel to places and say controversial things about where I was.
I am your prototypical stupid America full of prejudice and irrational goals for world domination.
I will travel to every country thinking, "I am from the greatest country on the PLANET EARTH!" And judge their culture using the preceding sentence as justification for everything I think and do.
I am Noah Cicero
Travel writer
Man of Letters
I can drink ten beers and still make a woman feel good all night.
Thanks
