NaBloPoMo Failure

Yeah.  I realized Thursday I had not posted anything for the day, this was at about 10:30.  By the time I thought to get over to the computer and post, it was ten minutes after midnight.  I thought about faking the timestamp, but a little electronic badge is not worth cheating over.  I got through [...]

Sometimes it is vital to distract oneself from the abject misery of really shitty days.  Today’s distraction of choice: Mass Effect.

who post every day and sometimes more than once a day.  This self-imposed by participation requirement to post at least once a day is very draining.  I have little desire to write anything.  It may be because this past week has been busy and cold-infected, or by-product of the pressure of NaBloPoMo.  It has definitely [...]

Totally Optional Places
Well, not really, libraries are still one of the most awesome of places. In my poems I tend to focus more on people than places, after all, I don’t relate to concrete or leaves, but to people. Personal preference and all that. So, something of a moment that could only [...]

This post courtesy of insomnia.  A more awake tom would probably not be doing this, but, hey, if you can’t be self-indulgent when sleep deprived, when can you be?
One of the first poems I enjoyed was Dunbar’s “We Wear The Mask.”  While he may have meant it to refer to the cultural issues facing African [...]
