He watches as the water pours from the halo of his hair, forming emaciated columns that stretch to the murky depths below. His sight is not what it once was, or ever was; anything a foot from his face dissolves into a thick, Bay fog. The liquid that splashes and anoints him, is a release, a penance. He lathers himself with the soap, heavy with...

hmmm. it's hard to say.

i want so very badly to be supportive but usually i need:

1. a character that i feel connected to, sympathetic with

if i can't have that, i'll take:

2. sparse prose peppered with a few powerful word clusters cropping up like wildflowers in a field.

and if i can't have that, i'll take:

3. action, a plot that moves like a full river, pulling me along, over, in, under.

so. what to say? these are just elements that i need. for other tastes this story fragment is perhaps just perfect. write it if you feel compelled to, because this story needs out of your head! if not, i know you have a jumble more stories, words, characters, moments up there in your glorious brain waiting to get out and be freed upon the paper or keyboard.

i think you're tops.

7am, my closet is flooded by the upstairs bathroom for the 6th time in three months. Maintenance comes, doesn't even check the pipes and looks at the water-damage and says, 'Yup, that's what a leak'll do'. Bastards.

I am in dire need of a chicken burger - no, not a chicken breast slapped between two buns. I'm talking ground up chicken meat, pressed into a...

so during my horrendously long drive yesterday (or earlier today, I get confused after midnight) to pick up turntables, I learned a few things -

1 - loud house music blaring from my car acts as deer repellent

2 - driving 90 mph in high winds is no fun

3 - i hate southern colorado

4 - being in the car for nearly twelve hours...

Thanks so much for the nice comment you left on my set!!!

kiss kiss

Ok, I feel like an asshole now. I don't know what you are talking about happened in Asia. I am disconnected from the entire world, my cable is MIA! Whatever it is, it sounds horrible. I send all my love.

under the sidewalk, there is the beach

boredom, apathy, self-hatred, self-loathing
those are all counter-revolutionary

The clock stops and round about where midnight should be the world wakes up. No one feels the pressure of the second hand on its circutous, foot-dragging path to eschaton. The minutes, hours, days, cycles of the tides, rotation of Jupiter and its moons about the sun - all have ceased in their importance. As it stands, the facts are thus: things of this nature...

things are alright in the skull again

yippee!

Rites of Spring rocks... now if only I could find where I misplaced their cd, I could listen to it in the car... instead of being forced to only let it aurally stimulate me when at the computer...

besides having the horrible habit of collecting books, I also snatch up and squirrel away cds from all sorts...

Ran into the ex last night...
yeah...
she wants me to call her...
yeah...
damnit...
I'll probably wind up doing that...
even after she chewed me up, spit me out, ground me under her heel and lied to me...
damnit...

need to find a job, so I can finish tattoos... tired of looking at outlines.

my poet-for-hire absurdist story has gotten bigger and the vampire...

blacking out is not a viable form of therapy. you already knew that. finding a good therapist is though. i can tell you this from experience, a good one is seriously worth it.

ok, and why do you tease me? here are some indicators that you're hot:

your ex wants you to call her
you might be rejoining one of your old bands
you need a job, purely so you can finish your tattoos
you list pen and paper as your 5 items that you can't live without

here is an indicator that doesn't really help me figure out if you're hot or not:

your profile pic

hmmm. let's see.

i would use my superpower on you to call your image forth, but i think i shall save it for more dire needs. also, it's much more potent when we're actually in the same city, as opposed to in this virtual reality. or perhaps if i had a digital camera, i could work some magic... *prays to santa and all his elves* on that note, i am glad you were there for santa in his time of need. it really does smart to see your woman betray you. it's always a blessing when you find someone out there that will help you get back in touch with your creativity. even if it is only a distraction, or an outlet.

hahahahaha!

I'm finished with my vampire themed story for tonight's writers/lit group.

I feel relieved

but the holidays suck. Christmas alone is a bummer.

C'est la vie

nothing insightful today, just runnin on empty...

a little Rumi though:

I realize that the dawn
when we'll meet again
will never break,

so I give it up,
little by little, this love.

But something in me laughs...

trading cards

they don't exist in real life, but they're getting made in backwoods and underground shops in the northeastern part of the country by beautiful women atop large trucks seen on todays latest installment of this lovely website (Twwly).

your brain is a foggy winterwonderland with imaginary characters taking up vastly overrated real estate and building little bendy-walled houses on the cellular structure. the truly valuable plots of land within your cranium seem to be holding fast with too much wit and wisdom for most folks to deal with.

mmm. you and abra are too adorably similar. you should find her and give her a paper heart with your number on it.

It's 5am here and I'm leaving a post.

Just wrapped up an great conversation. For those who care (mainly me) the following subjects were touched upon:
Shitty state of Hardcore Music, how much Xtian Hardcore sucks, Sufism, Absurdism, Futurism, Gnosticism, Rumi, Ibn 'Arabi, Hysterical Realism, Soviet Propaganda, the creation of the Cyrillic Alphabet, Last Day Parade, Rites of Spring, Joy Division, Brodsky, Mayakovsky, Dante, Borges,...

my last post was at 11:11 pst. Funny.

Just watched the Hebrew Hammer. Never laughed so hard in my life!

I want my super power to be in the form of an amazingly powerful guilt trip.
