"(Supposed) excerpt from Against the Day" so is this his actual writting, it kind of sounds like a cowboy cartoon.

"V." was to confusing to me back when I tried to read it (about an year ago). I wish i was smart enough.

yeah it can be very confusing but i found that if you take it slowly it's a lot easier to understand.
