Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!<br /><br />I wish him luck on that. You are whose army...<br /><br />Oh, the Texas army. I forgot.<br /><br />I suppose that the little army of people he impersonates will all need some of that, too.<br /><br />Does extortion ring a bell.<br /><br />I love his comments on other websites where he screams to know what my sexuality is. Like who I sleep with needs his personal stamp of approval.<br /><br />Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!<br /><br />In one of his more demented incarnations he claims I owe him money I robbed from him.<br /><br />Now, how could it be that I would owe money to a gay porn writer who hasn't published anything -- not even gay porn -- since the 1980s.<br /><br />Schnukums, I hear they're hiring at the Austin Salvation Army.<br /><br />But no. Disability pays more.<br /><br />They kicked his ass off Wikipedia.<br /><br />Whenever my name appears on his Google Alert (we are supposed to be impressed that Mister Gurufan can handle Google Alert), he jumps in to say: Tim Barrus was Nasdijj.<br /><br />No one knew that.<br /><br />Calm the fuck down, Bayou Boy.<br /><br />I'll make you a deal. I will pay you and all your personalities to stop harassing me but first you have to lose 450 pounds.<br /><br />Schnukums, it's bad for your blood pressure.<br /><br />Eat shit and die, bitch.<br /><br />"I will get you," he claims.<br /><br />You and all the other Internet psychotics. The line around the block forms in the rear.<br /><br />He can't take his eyes off me. And so witty, too.<br /><br />It must get dull as doorknobs in Austin. Austin, Boston; it kinda rhymes. Every so often his meds wear off.<br /><br />Why self-medicate. He has me.<br /><br />He claims I write him personal letters (but he lost them) and that we had not only a correspondence, but a relationship.<br /><br />Right.<br /><br />He leaves his rants and bile on the boys' various email accounts.<br /><br />He threatens physical harm.<br /><br />I suppose you will shake your righteous cane.<br /><br />Oh, ho hum.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Cinematheque Films is guerrilla education for a collective of at-risk adolescent HIV+/AIDS boys studying art in radical, self-directed ways.

Barrus was once one himself. What does the term boys-at-risk mean. It means HIV/AIDS. It means male prostitution. They use the word whore a lot. It means junkies and addiction. But it can also mean enormous, subversive creativity. Barrus has been there. Done that. Orpheus is about a redefinition of the term: family. A family haunted by disease, by demons, by dementia. A psychic connection is made half a world away, in Montana, where another writer lives. "This is a story," Mary Scriver says. "We have to write it down." Barrus only kicks holes in the wall at the thought of it. But Scriver gets to work. She is a workhorse of a writer. Determined where Barrus is enigmatic. Some say evasive. Perhaps evasive for reasons never articulated until now. Orpheus is a story about the music that you make, the dancing that you do, and the poetry that you sing. These are the voices of the survivors.
