i couldn't agree more, my good man

you get an A

FYI i took that quote from a paragraph in Bukowski On Bukowski in which dhe enounces the bard quite reasonably, but i thought "Shakespeare is shit" has a nice ring to it

yeah, i think it's a "keeper".

i saw this guy on the bus on the way to work and his face was quite horribly damaged; i suspect he was indeed in a fire. what got me though was that he seemed confident. he had a nice chat with the driver, then got off n went on his way.

it's always a bit of a wake-up call when you see a deformity and recoil internally but then realise the person is just getting on with it. it's very humbling, hence i wrote the piece as a child might, instead of pontificating for 40 lines. no thoughts on a title yet, though. any ideas?

Alcohol is so easy to embrace. Why not a real life? Living beyond normal bullshit. We all go through it. Not them. Not you. Not me. Life....

i must confess...this is a second hand comment i used once already on hellsforheros...but i love these lines...so i shall share the words of others till my muse comes back from galavanting with his. :


"the woman, she moves like medacine
her fingers write "remedy" on her stomach
as it blooms in a backward arch.

her body is teaching me a lesson through broken english...
...she turns this bastard dialect
into a gorgeous machete
uses it in ways that was never intended to free us both...

...."What you got motherfucker?!"

and if i had to find profit on this second tongue
it's in the way she made that motherfucker sound like good-morning-sex...

...I want to fuck like you dance, and dance like you pray."

-Jason Bayani (Dance Music/Love in a Time or George Bush)

sometimes very interesting. sometimes shockingly dull. i have a great job, though. i always look forward to it even through the trying times (like now).

occassionally i dream about my teeth. i had one recently that my molar grew to be so large that i couldnt close my mouth. it could be seen forcing my jaw open- like a big cartoon tooth.

good for you and the ex. If I ever got back it would have to be quite a while. I'm consigned in thinking it's entirely over actually.

I only got about 4 hours sleep last night... from being wound up after a bad phone call of said ex.
And what got me started on the staying up kick was the weed. I'll be smoking and watching TV on the weekend nights until about 5am.

I take it all back

the new Bouville is kickass. not only is the fresh content more numerous and dynamic, but the design itself has been overhauled, and it's so damn slick. in fact, it looks almost...professional.

thanks for spreading the word. is your friend a writer/artist?

Wols? wo ist Wols? the picture (tentatively titled 'Naked Body & Flaming Head') is by my latest recruit, a young man by the name of Harry Sanderson. he does etchings and digital art, and is also in Holiday Stabbings. a larger version of this piece and another original of his will be featured in the Winter Post. it's great to have him on board; now we are four!

i'm so gonna buy your collection. how is the courting of publishers going? much promising interest i hope. is it a "chapbook" (hate that word) affair or a full-blown book?

yes, here in the Midlands it is cold, wet n windy. tonight it will be -3, or so i hear. the trees are growing skeletal. i'd like to see a pic of your town if poss...?

so are you completely tee-total these days? i'm at that place where i can't shun the love of drink, but i anticipate the romance to backfire any day now, which should give me pause for thought...

Happy Thanksgiving to you, sir.

i'm doing well. trying to keep time for creativity...it's hard balence. that last piece was not one of my best...trying to hard thanks for reading though! love your friends pic of Chick-Turkey above!

Better and better.

Has a negative air to it, though. How are things with her?

I.

Well I hope the next few days turn out for the best, one way or another - good luck

Pygmy wookies? Which ones are they?

I.

i def. feel confused sometimes ... just let it happen sometimes
