Derrida, Derrido

So, like I was readin' this stuff by this dude named Derrida and he says, "To be what it is, all writing must, therefore, be capable of functioning in the radical absence of every empirically determined receiver in general. And this absence is not a continuous modification of presence, it is a rupture in presence, the "death" or the possibility of the "death" of the receiver inscribed in the structure of the mark. . ." And I like thought about it for a minute and my head exploded.

I am strangely drawn to him. But is it only nonsense wrapped in a pretty French package? What would Woody Allen have to say about Derridas? So much thinking to do and so little available brain space.
