One thing leads to another
After Eric let me borrow/have/hold The Dante Club, I may have become obsessed. So I purchased The Inferno yesterday and am through Canto IV. This is my contrapasso.

Finals is about to start. Wish Tara Hardy all the good energy you have. Bring the title back to Washington!
No hardware for Spokane. 2nd night was much more rough than the 1st. I just want to be home. I miss you, Spokane!
Here's the scoop on IWPS poop!
Alright, after night one. Mark and I aren’t out of the competition, yet. Zack, writing the best he ever has, and performing the best he ever has, was left with two bad scores from judges who prefer sensationalism over substance.
Today includes sight-seeing in San Francisco with Pat and relaxing. Mark and I are basically looking at a shit-storm to get into finals, but it could happen. If we...
Zack got 8 and 8. Mark got 5 and 5. i got 7 and 3.
1.5 hours away from competition. Everyone is prepared and ready to fuck shit up!
Bout draw is done. Mark goes 9, Zack goes 6, kurt goes 10. Gonna be good.
San Francisco mornings are cold and overcast. But baby, it feels a little like home.

Rite Aid
The woman stumbles circles
around her shopping cart.
She is excited to use her
new mop in the group home.
“I used to clean things, too.”
Is the only courage I can muster.
And then I lie.
“I’m an out-of-work exorcist. No
money in demon hunting
these days.”
She knocks her cart
over, says she recognizes me.
Then begins to yell at the cashier
about how I...

This just fucked me up

i elect to give up on reality. what fun is it to search for fantasy in your own world, when you can live through your computer screen? a binary labyrinth with no minotaurs, no problems. your ego licked and kissed by zeros and ones; such passionate numbers. more caring friends than you could hope to entertain on a sunny afternoon in your own backyard. ...

A freewrite,
You forgot, quiet mouse, that we used to be in love. As though a fact that obvious could be claimed by humans. We only know of god and the mixture of salt and chocolate. Any creature with the knowledge of a tomorrow cannot love. Its obvious, we must forgive our minds for changing. And our livers for giving in to our heart’s repair settings. Which set of eyes will finally send me into...
This week has been heavy
Heavy Heavy,
I believe this whirpool has reversed directions because today is not heavy.
When I woke up this morning, I looked different. I was breathing different. I am born again.

A Special Thanks
To ERC Booking,
I am writing this letter to commend the folks who make-up the local ERC booking company (http://www.myspace.com/ercbooking). My ears (and my wallet) are forever in debt. Without them, where else would I find over-priced shows that stiff local acts and idolize weak touring bands?
But I digress. The real reason for this letter would be their treatment of performers who give their...

This is a cover of a Cassowaries song entitled Spring Will Explode.
I don’t believe my cover did the original justice, but I like the direction I took it in.
In other news, I am finally working on the last few tracks for my spoken word album. Long Time Coming.
