I have no real interest in anything and therefore write about everything. Think of the funniest person you know. I'm just a little bit funnier. Same goes for humble and good looking. Stick around. We'll have some fun.

You Kill Me!

 Would you like some hot chocolate with your strychnine?

geography

I live in a world
flooded with light
-drenched with greens and blues-

saturated with life.

I live in a world
where a drizzle of honey on the lips
changes everything.

I live in a world
Where kind words transform.
Where people are Given
summers and sunsets
children and music
ice cream and friends

Humans being

Ahab curses God
Cusak holds up the boom box

A world wept on a stunning september morn.
Some danced.

A thousand promises made today
Some kept.

Love discovered
Love lost.

Two share the Sunday Times.
A quiet hour
A moment of reflection.

A child sleeps

We share ourselves
We hide from others
We hoard our worthless

Love Shots (Redux)

Tequila flavored dancers
touch my life from time to time,
the sweetness of seduction mixed with salt and lime.

and the bars are closing early and my nights are getting blurry
as I sweat the righteous sweat of good clean sin.

And we're howling in the night as we hold
Each other tight,
Longing and desperatio… Read full post »

Bail'n Palin

Now that Michael Jackson is gone, it looks like Sarah Palin is jockeying for the new "nutjob celebrity" title.   Her recent decision to celebrate our nation's birthday by resigning from public service -- and what country could ask for a better gift? -- is just the tip of the nutjob iceberg.… Read full post »

dis 'n dat

A dark road
asphalt arrow piercing
The heart of a storm.
Sometimes we chase lightning.
Hoping to find each other during the flash.

Sometimes we hide from the thunder
Only wanting solitude
In the darkness.

word warriors

A shady place
an inbetween space
pause betwen breaths

inviting silence

into this breech 
poets storm,
wreckless words
borne on innocent audacity

armed with well turned phrases
striking metaphors;
a desire to reveal-
kernals of ineffable
cloaked in mundane moments.

He pleads his case,

NAMBLA Weeps

ZuniKNife  RIP Michael!

 

As the world mourns the loss of its favorite boogey man, I, like every other blogger with a half hour to kill, feel compelled to share some random and completely irrelevant observations about this pop icon.

Platitude on a sunny say

 

 www.romantic-oregon-coast.com/images/holding-hands.jpg 

Our love
sometimes a raging fire
sometimes a spark in the blackest night
buried under mundane poisons
that seep into our lives
sometimes forgotten
ignored
never extinguished.

refueled and renewed
not just with
flowers, candy,
moments in the dark --
more precious than jewels

but with k… Read full post »

Platitudes.

 

 

Let's play a game.

I will pretend I am somebody else

and you pretend to believe me.

Fast Food Poetry (45 seconds)

12 days of rain leaves  me

But no one wants to cover me with frosting

unless I pay for it.

The Four Day Detox Diet: Day 2

Day 2 was interesting.  I awoke at 6am and completely forgot I was detoxing.  I had already poured a huge bowl of KaBoom cereal and was unwrapping a beautiful pair of strawberry frosted pop tarts when I remembered that I was already deep in the process of becoming healthy.

The Four Day Dextox Diet: Day 1

I decided today to start a 4 day detox diet to flush the posions out of my system. I am confident that this will correct every bad habit I have engaged in for the last 35 years. If I can do it for 8 days, I'm confident I will live forever.

Jumping Jehovah!

Today a korean woman sat next to me on the bus to NYC and promptly fell alseep, no doubt dreaming sweet dreams involving making a series of left hand turns without using her blinkers (I know this is a terrible stereotype, but this is just between me and you diary ;)… Read full post »

Real Houswives of Camden

I don't watch the show.  So I know what I'm talking about.  Based on my extensive research, this seasons show centers around a few housewives from the Franklin Lakes Episode.  I happened to run into one of the writers for the show in a trendy bar the other night (and yes,… Read full post »

My ideas for better television

If God made me CEO of Network television, I am convinced that I could destroy Cable in the ratings.  Especially if God also gave me the ability to control minds.  But even if He didn't I think the following ideas might do the trick.  Feel free to add your own in… Read full post »

This if for the 40 and over crowd.  You kids with your damn skateboards and rock 'n roll music won't understand.

 There are few things more depressing than...

1.  Realizing your barber takes spends more time on your eyebrows than on your head.

2.  Seeing a five dollar bill at your… Read full post »

Connections and Reconnections

 

 I don't think it is possible to overstate the importance of connecting with each other (but if it is possible, I want to be the one to do it).  This is one of the primary purposes of religion -- to bring us together as a community.  The word itself comes from the… Read full post »
