I'm Alive
I'm a lie
I'm alive
I'm a fly
I'm Alive

 Writing a story about somebody writing a story. Can't be much simpler than that.

 My new book Flesh of the Muse is now officially published and ready for online purchase! I will post the respective link later. :-)

Eternity

Can be forever

Eternity

Can mend

Two together

For always

Always

Keeps

Never look

Behind

The distance

All that matters

Is eternity

 I want to write a story about a man who is obsessed with peanut butter. Or maybe a story about a woman who is dumped by her fiance then decides to open up a candy shop. Or maybe some kind of romantic comedy type novel. I suppose I could write a really heart-wrenching novel about people losing their faith in themselves. Or a story about someone inspiring others to pursue their dreams and ambitions. So many possibilities out there and inside my head.

 Went to my local library today and checked out two fairly interesting poetry books. I believe my taste in literature has expanded exponentially without my even knowing. I also checked out some movies (yes, the library has current dvd titles for free rental). One movie is titled The Fighter and stars Mark Wahlberg and Christian Baile. It's essentially a basic up and coming/underdog boxing tale. It's not as bad as I thought it would be.

 In other news, I just revised my short novel The Sofa That Ate Everyone. I lowered the price and added a preview of my next book The Thing In The Desert. I updated the preview on the Home page of my site as well. I've also been busy working on a new poetry/short story collection. It will include lots of very new, fresh poetry and some other collected works such as An Almost Notion, Antiseptic Anarchism and possibly Momentous. I haven't decided on an absolute inclusion yet but I do know that it will include all of the shorts I've written so far and even a couple of unfinished ones. Oh and I would also like to include some really great photos of different artistic interpretations. I'll probably add those after the rest of the collection is complete. The title I've come up with so far is Flesh of the Muse. Be on the look out and check back here often. :-)

Brunette

Upset the brunette

She doesn’t like

To be alone

She only loves herself

And that’s no joke

She isn’t very beautiful but

She tries

Brunette

Opposites unattract opposites

Same equals same

Duality is a bitch

No one cares to know

Why, how

It begins

(Dualism)

 Took a break from writing in order to celebrate my Dad's birthday today. The whole family celebrated it at a wonderful Mexican restaurant called Los Cunados. They have a really great breakfast buffet there during the weekends. Then we went to my sister's place for cake and the ceremonial opening of gifts. I honestly didn't know what to get my Dad for a gift so I went with a book light since he is always reading books on sociology and history. I thought about getting him a book but I figured he has enough books to read for a while.

 In other news, I did complete Antiseptic Anarchism and uploaded it for FREE download (as with the rest of my work). It is only about ten pages long and is a good, quick, succinct read. I thought about printing out a hundred copies of it and handing it out to people at super markets and other public places but I think I'll wait a bit before doing that. I want to make sure people are going to read it first. We shall see. As always, I am working on more ideas for poems and stories. I guess you could say I have become enamored by my own poetic side. I don't know why but I really feel like it will either lead me to something else or allow others to see the world through my eyes. Either one will do nicely. :-)

 I have embraced Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass! It so succinctly describes all the observations I too have written about. There is no denying it. You could say that it has inspired me to maintain my die hard focus on my own poetry. Just last night I was inspired to start working on my own succinct collection of poetic thoughts. They are all flowing and intermingling. Just like Walt I want to break the traditional form of poetry and prose. It is the only path that a writer/poet can take. It is the one path I must take.

 .....

 All I have done today so far is post a lot more vital information on facebook pertaining to the Occupy Wall Street movement/protests/revolution. It has begun to spread like wild fire. There are even other countries beginning to show support for the movement. It is truly amazing and an awesome time to be living in. Future generations will be talking about this for some time to come and it will be in all the history books (digital or other form)! www.occupywallst.org

 Other than that, I have been writing/typing away and formulating some story ideas and new poem ideas. I very quickly decided to start writing another poetry e-book. It will be my forth and perhaps most interesting. So far it is titled Antiseptic Anarchism. The title came to me as I was reading Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass. Somewhere in the intro he wrote something about how he believes the poet to be the antiseptic of the world. That really struck a chord with me and I got this image in my head of a very altruistic way of life. My poetry seems to be taking on a new form as of lately and I do hope that it continues down that path. :-)
