Fill it up, so I can get something.
I like this mug.
It's easily in my top three favorite mugs to drink coffee from.
When I drink from this mug I feel something, something pure but dark become an acceptable feeling to toy with. I'm not just drinking a bit of brewed beans to wake up; I'm taking something. …
Water, toast, and coffee. The necesities of day 1/365.
I have been tagged by Brad Green to participate in an infectious listing that is cruising up, left, right, and backwards around the blog world. I'm supposed to talk about myself and seven things most don't know about me. I kind of like myself today-this afternoon at …
Mountain Top Suprise
"I didn't believe YOU would be here!" Rick Carlopy forcefully threw into existence. The mountain gust of low oxygen ice air finally began letting up. "Why hasn't anyone else came?" the 'Saur asked. Rick's shouted remark was still bouncing in the clouds.
"I thought …
The shakes come back, despite they have never been invited.
An old shake has returned for a visit and just like it's previous stop ins I know why its come.
This shake is not an old friend, though it would be easy to call it such by how familiar I have become with it over the years, but I say these shakes are not a brother or a …
Out of a big sleep I will read.
When I came to from the drug state that had been injected into my veins I found myself to be gleeful, a kind of glee that is almost scary, but at that moment I did not care as I hadn't had any drinks or food in my mouth for almost twelve hours and I was parched. Surgery …
I read. I bled. I smiled in public.
On Friday I read. People laughed at the best parts and people clapped at the better parts. I felt like how a trans am feels. The first piece I read was The Multitasking Life of the Pope, which has been freshly published. Blake Butler, who did not miss a letter or note …
It goes in the hair. Rub on the skin.
Eric Nies was a model, when women saw him doing the simple movement of walking they would say, "Wow he should be a model." Eric Nies was not a well-known model.
Eric Nies went on a reality show, the dragon egg of reality shows that would set the format for the reality …

A Mix Tape of Words. Vol 3.
It's been too long since I posted one of these. I have no clue if anyone even cares about these post- but I have to post them. When I read a story that floors me, that makes me want to drop to my knees and give it my worship, praise and jealousy I have to share it.
All …

A quick jab only hurts the dying.
I have a piece coming out on Lamination Colony.
:The story has a dead president, motivational speakers, and hooker wisdom:
I have a piece coming out on the soon to be published Ampersand Review.
:This work of fiction has a dead cat and citizens screaming at the sky because …

No shame in what one does to survive.
Today I had to go to the crazy grocery store. I call it the crazy one because when going there for the usually simple errand of getting food you always get way more than you expected. I have seen fights, cashiers just leave in the middle of ringing up your picked out …

Words and Guitars.
A rare event took place this past Sunday within the gates of Atlanta, a wonderful reading. On a stage within a basement words were given life and let loose.
Blake Butler hosted the night. The first to tell a tale was Todd Dills, who has a book called Sons of The …

I shall destroy myself before I can even see success.
I decided to do some desktop cleaning of the computer. I figured while I was being productive to clean some items off the back up drives as well. I got in the zone. My eyes got buggy all so I could see clean looking folders. I'm sure someone has said a clean computer …

Some stories have wings. When you put then pen down the story leaves you.
No music is filling my room. The house has no sounds from the TV or the dogs. I can only hear what I am thinking. The clicks of the keyboard are only heard by small insects when compared to the loudness of my thoughts.
The new issue of Shine has hit the internet http …

Comically speaking I have no hands.
I have been put into comic book form.
I am just a little sub character with a line pointing to me to give me a voice. All the action and subject of the comic is about my partner, Jennifer, getting a new tattoo; but I do say a kind of sitcom like quip in it. Go me. The …

Awesome Hat Jelly (no connection in these words)
My mind is a jelly like substance. I am paying an average of $3.14 a day on using high grade paper towels to clean of the brain jell as it slides down from my head at home, in school, and even over the register at work. Please forgive me. I hope to have this problem …

It was when the city turned off the lights.
Let's face it. We never should have moved into that place by the East Wood Mall as roommates. We should have known better; living with anyone is too much for a person to celebrate and embrace with each sunrise. Look at the legally divorced, too much to handle. We should …

The first show, always the best.
I wrote a piece on Death Cab For Cutie, but it wasn't on the Death Cab For Cutie you can see on Letterman or playing large halls where t-shirts with tour dates are the same price as beer*.
I wrote about the first time I saw Death Cab For Cutie. I've seen them numerous …

180 words on the death of words. Go. Now.
It has just been brought to my attention that my chapbook has a printing error. I had two e-mails sent to my computer that asked of a confusion created on the first page. I went through a copy to see what all this was about to merit a disturbance of my normally peaceful …

A table to lean. A floor to feel the cold.
It's normal to dream, to have the mind play Russian rulet with all the memories and ideas dancing around in the skull; the ones that loose the game get thrown into a shake and stir mix that one can only remember a few minute details come morning light.
Is it normal to …

To Insure Proper Service
I'm off to work. I work for tips. Essentially.
Tonight I'm going to smile. I'm going to molest old ladies with my smile for the twenty cents left over from their decaf. When I'm asked, "what do you recommend?" I'll say, "A dick sucking latte, which only I cane make …
