us senator chuck schumer appears at a grizzly bear concert in brooklyn, introduces himself as "my senator" before shaking my hand and indirectly complementing me on my "hip"-ness.

here are two new poems @ the recusant

i just had the feeling that my head was about to explode.

i am sitting in a cubicle wearing a lightly-starched button-down shirt.

again, i just had the feeling that me head was about to explode.

the starch in my shirt is scratching my nipples and shoulders and arms and i am somehow thinking that the starch is creating an adverse neurological reaction in my head and i wonder if there is any peer-reviewed literature on the possible correlation be shirt starch and neurology anywhere on google

just a second ago, i wondered what it would feel like if i had a stroke. if i had a stroke i wonder if i would still think i needed to drink coffee every morning. i wonder if i would gain weight and begin to smell. i think the two worst things about having a stroke would be the gaining of weight and the smelling, on top of no more coffee.

i am feeling confused. when i move, my shirt scrapes against my skin and i want to scream.

i feel this post has taken a sardonic turn.

i think i will stop now.

thanks for stopping by.

listen to edward sharpe & the magnetic zeros here.

i think it will make you a happier person.

also - holy shit.

story @ staccato fiction.

straccto is a new venue for microfiction, which i think is a form conducive to modern life.

straccto plans to publish two stories a week - on mondays & thursdays - so why not send them something to read?

brandi wells indulges my insatiable appetite to write poetry like “that guy” in the subway station with swollen ankles and scabs on his face. thank you brandi wells.

okay.

new story @ johnny america. i feel patriotic. it's about the natural herbal supplements - ones that increase blood flow, size, and stamina. these natural herbal supplements are advertised below. i wonder if i should/could sell ad space on my blog to natural herbal supplement advertisers. i wonder if i would be able to generate enough revenue to purchase my own natural herbal supplements. i wonder what would happen to a person if they ate an entire bottle of natural herbal supplements. i wonder if a person would develop a permanent erection. i think having an erection permanently would kind of suck.




i tried to find a good infomercial for this particular product. couldn't find anything. if anyone can locate a half-decent clip/video please send me the link so I can post it.

read 'male enhancement'

today. a new decomP magazine issue is born.

paula treick deboard says, "ex-thing Lolita" in a sentance somewhere.

a pretty good issue.

i am supposed to be doing things at work right now. people are talking to one another about their weekends in different cubicles. someone just said the word 'zipcar.' i don't want to move. i will not move anywhere for at least the next 45 minutes. i think i will be better equipped to make decisions 45 minutes from now.

i have a new story @ pangur ban party today. it makes me happy. dj berndt put together a sweet-ass ebook for it. pangur ban party is a sweet-ass place. dj berndt has sweet-ass html skills. i want to start a sweet-ass political party called the 'pangur ban party.' i think we would be influential at the grassroots-level in a sweet-ass place like oregon. i've never been to oregon.

my story is titled 'the nurse and the patient.' i wrote it when i was in san francisco at my hotel. it was not a fancy hotel. maybe i will put up some san francisco pictures later. or maybe i will feel lazy and forget. or maybe i will remember but won't care.

i wish i was doing something important right now.
