... too long ago, I managed to go over the 25kish barrier, and receive the rank of poet; at which point I thought perhaps it wasn't so impossible after all to keep on typing...those database mistakes in which fb hasn't been updated with my highest score and thinks someone beat me when they go over my old one (LOL16kLOL) She didn't beat my score, or the person after me's, but I thought I'd play for old ...

Punny Day!

...-tired. What's the definition of a will? (Come on, it's a dead giveaway!) A backwards poet writes inverse. In democracy your vote counts. In feudalism, your count votes. A chicken crossing the road is.... It t'aint yours and it t'aint mine. A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat. He had a photographic memory that was never developed. The short fortuneteller who escaped from prison was a ...

hey moon don't you go down.

So let's not get into my stuff about Panic(!), but I've now watched "Northern Downpour" video , and wow. Nothing but love, 'cause it's awesome and what a great song (I've never heard it, leave me alone), and dude. Dude. Guerilla art is so one of my favourite things. Anyway. I think "Indestructible" comes up after the video's over? Don't click on it. Seriously. Both song and video are ...

I've Lost The Beat

..., teevee], Relationships, and Friendships Diet. However this does not means that I am running away from reality.  It is define as fine-tuning your mode. I guess that’s life. I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn & a queen. I've been up & down & over & out. And I know one thing- each time I find myself flat on my face, I pick myself up & get back in the race. Don’t worry I’m ...

Poet's Espresso

Yesterday, I received my contrib copy of the Oct./Nov. issue of Poet's Espresso Newsletter.    This is a nicely produced chapbook-looking item focused on CA events / poetry / arts . . ... Sinha-Morey, Mary A. Turzillo, Stephen M. Wilson (and his daughter Verlana), and many others.   You can't beat the price, either.  It's free.  I'm not sure how widely available it is outside of Stockton, CA, but...

Mcintyre, Treadmore and Davitt

...killer lines in each song, not taking themselves too seriously and on the whole sounding like the natural successors to [Artist8102,John Cooper Clarke's] beat-poet posturing. There's also a significant amount more musical sophistication than HMHB fans had been used to, particularly on a song like "Yipps (...

Weekends are bliss ...

... And again, another early-ish night with wine and beat poetry in bed. I would love to host a beat poetry reading at my apartment. I feel like that would be pretty amazing. Beat poetry is SO underrated, it kills me, and I ... this city that's down. Maybe I should try to create some sort of beat poet book club ... seriously ... I wonder how that would fly with the locals. Might look ...

Fic Commentary: 9.8 Metres Per Second Squared

... Sung Dynasty hand scroll (a painting in the form of a long scroll that the viewer is meant to unwrap slowly) and a book-length poem by the only beat poet who actually knew anything about Asian art and religion, Gary Snyder. (I tried to find images from the hand scroll but couldn't find any really good ones, so ...

Ch Ch Ch Changes!

... so much to say of my California trip! However, I suck at remembering things in detail. Luckily a great poet/writer/other important dead person once said "a picture is worth a thousand words" and oh how they were ... Stacey to win! I have never met Stacey and know nothing of her character, but I wanted her to beat big bad Ed so badly! I cheered her on as I folded my laundry but alas, she fell short a...

Back on the Block
