"Only a couple of generations ago, we the people sang the songs and told the stories and generated our culture from the bottom up.

But now, more and more of our culture is spoon-fed to us top down by corporations, TV networks and ad agencies.

We must reclaim our culture. Start telling our own stories again. Singing our own songs. Producing our own meaning.

Creating our own cool..."

As a total slave to opinion I have to put this link here:

Listed on BlogShares

But what the fuck do those guys know?

Absolutely fuckin nothing - that's what. This link makes my blog stronger for no other reason than I bothered to have it here.

Does that make this place any better? No - obviously not. I'm popular simply because I choose to be popular. I chose to make myself accessible to the masses.

But don't mistake my want of accessibility for respect...

...I still hate most of you more than you can imagine.





It's lonely down here. What purpose can a paragraph find at the nigh-bottom of this blog? Should I be humorous? Informative? Why am I here? I wish I was that other paragraph above the calendar. Oh the wonderful things I could do from up there...

happy birthday dearest

 

all i do is miss you.  as i hang out with these strangers, tidal relationships in various states of rise and decline, in this life constructed by decisions made in haste or not at all - i just miss you.

 

i do not wish you were here.  i imagine your life MUST be better anywhere else, with anyone else, as far away from all of this as possible.  on the best days and the worst - i'm glad you made it out.

you are a perfect five stars.  you're two thumbs up.  visually stunning, well written and perfectly performed.  if you were a movie you'd be the empire strikes back, the godfather 2 and citizen kane, all rolled into one.

they say there is no accounting for taste, but i AM a muthafuckin' taste accountant.  i literally get PAID for my opinion and mine, of you, could not be higher.

you define the scale.  everything else in this world falls somewhere between nothing and you.

hello


i've been busy.  doing a little professional writing, which is nice and gratifying.  i've also been plugging away at my own stuff - a gothic romance novella tentatively titled 'Scarecrow and the Adamantine Heart', and a few scripts here and there.

the 5am challenge below relates, in a purely thematic way, to the novella.  it's also a running daily deadline project and a homage to some amazing people in my life.  and it's a bit of fun too i guess.  i'll post highlights here.

although i do have to remind people that i do not fall in love.  i do not, do not, do NOT fall in love.  i do not fall in love, anymore.

how've you been?

(ah, the things written at 5am
the wild challenges made
in the spoiled electric light
betwixt pillow and dawn)


for the next year
i am going to tell you how magnificent you are
in three hundred and sixty five completely unique ways
not to make you fall in love
but simply because i think someone should
and in both language and courage
i find i am able

and because it incenses me
that someone as incredible as you
could ever imagine that a single day passed
where you were not appreciated
for all the wonderful ways
you make this world
an infinitely better place


(that's one...)

what to make if there is no mood?


light of the situation, perhaps?  gurney halleck said [mood is] "a thing for cattle and love play"; but I always had my suspicions about his association of the two.

i see writing as a vector - requiring both direction and magnitude.  without a prevailing mood we are but flotsam in the doldrums of creativity, ineffectually sculling circles with stunted intellectual paddles.

we need to be caught up in exhaltant tradewinds.  to be dragged under by treacherous currents of depression.  gale force anger.  a tsunami of paranoia.

all the genius in the world wont get you anywhere without the want for, or the need to get away from: 'something' (anything!).  to be drawn to, or pursued by: love; lust; fear or desperation.

what to make if there is no mood?  a pointless rant about moods themselves apparently.

we don't fall in love
love falls in us
and it goes straight through
like yesterday's pasta aubergine
love is like fibre
it helps us pass time

hans christian redux


so i just saw this lame storybook thing on teevee about the ugly duckling and i thought: i'm not gonna read that shit to my kids!

i'm going to tell them the story of the hairy four legged duckling that got mercilessly teased by its peers, but then grew up into a wolf and ate all those bitches up, before savagely mauling its mentally retarded cub-napping parents to death.

yeah, i'm bored.

this ever ending

why is it like this?
    a constance of pouring

i thought it would end
    that my heart would empty

and i would know peace

instead of this

ever ending

late morning obituary

Rumour had it that Richard killed himself in September - a magnum decision, looking out over the ponderous Pacific.  And some twenty years later I couldn't believe it.

No one found the body until evening October, the stench incredible.  Like watermelon sugar, gone sour in the Californian sun.  And I still can't believe it.

Wasn't that just a moment before all of it became right?  When it all resolved in watermelon perfection.

What came after September '84 would have made all the difference, I think.  The path to here would have been worth the walk.  I think he would have enjoyed it.  And (inspecifically) this.

I wish he'd called at nine years old.  I wish he could call me now.

And yet how can I feel sorry for Richard?  He rode his own crest and crashed on that ponderous Pacific shore.

He saw sky and soul.

Burned all the maps to his body.

And made his own decision.
