Oooo...school has released me from its vice-like grip for a whole 6 weeks...It's nice to be done with it for awhile so I can get some real writing (and some other stuff that's been on the back burner) completed. Meanwhile, here is part deux of the Bardo...

THE BARDO Part 2

THE BARDO Part 1

I had a drink with Maude Gonne the other night. I had so many things to ask her, and so little time, it seemed. It's strange chatting with dead people, they're so ephemeral--every second feels like...

Yowza. I need to get a grip on things here, it's been a weird few days for me, full of dark hallways and cobwebby corners, and strange fleeting shapes skuttling off to the sides. But I am feeling a bit better now. I'm going to a CD burning party tonight and I'm going to attempt to turn some people on to Interpol and Plaid. And...

YO Dude, I realized you havea bunch of CUTE favorites up there. Good choices, all...

I wonder. Would you throw in some INterpol also? I've got your CD travellin in my bag, I keep meaning to get to the post office. Maybe I'll add soemthing else. Do you like any of that rap music? I got this think in SF last year called LEgendary Masters of Hip Hop and its really funky, really positive, fun, good stuff. Also, Well, I got a bunch of stuff. Cheb I Sabbah is the one I'm most excited about.

OH< can you throw me some of that Interpol? I heard about them, I wanna get in on that.

I played scrabble tonight, and made the word Mosquito....

I also kept on saying "fuck" as if to educate the world with my lame profanity. But it was a failed point. Everyone already was well aware of the word. So I started to teach it to all the kids in hopes that our world would one day replace "like" with "fuck".

Ehh, we all have dreams no? Some of us are just a lot more cynical than others...

Rockin' pic man... now you LOOK like a writer, haha.

Sunday night. Laundry time, the chore they make you do in hell.

1.) Do you like Sunday nights? Why or why not?

2.) Look at your zipper handle. What three little letters do you see there? Is this some kind of insidious monopoly??

hey skruff....naropa has lots of schlorships and financial aide and stuff....send them some of you're writing!
they may very well just love you at the jack kerouac school for disembodied poetics---give you a full ride!---they do a writing workshop...i think in the summer, that you may want to check out as well.
my ex was a writer/ spiritual seeker sorta guy and was checking it out for their writing program. i thought it was really cool, but like i said..it's tiny! for awhile i was interested in their art therapy masters, but ...nah. and boulder rules! i loved it...i don't know if i'd want to live there for a long amount of time, but for a couple years of school...it'd be great.
