YOU PIG

felt close to something like crying today after having perceived myself as being a dick about a money thing.  i punished myself by walking to the post office with no socks wearing my holey ass boots through the snow and puddles.  i kept thinking, "you pig."

here's an article about a new library in new york.  i think they have a print copy of 'gerald mcclellan vs nigel benn.'  

also, i have a really shitty tattoo gun/kit/whatever it's called.  if anybody on this upcoming tour has clean needles and some ink i'll do tattoos for people.  i did a few on myself years ago and they look really shitty but maybe that can become the cool thing, having shitty looking tattoos. like people can scoff at people who have nicely done tattoos. (i don't know i'm just trying to figure out ways to pay for food.)

also, if anybody knows how to do this let me know.  but i want to have it so whenever someone opens an email from me it plays a quick recording of a tupac laugh.  like where he goes, "eh ah ah ah."

thought i saw a woman stomping a small dog but she was just trying to kick a brown paper bag off her foot because the wind was blowing it against her.

i feel tempted to buy a snowshovel and go door to door next time it snows. 

i slipped and fell hard on my back in the alley after it snowed the other day and it was the kind of hurt that makes you lie there and laugh a little.  lying on your back in the snow in an alley is a good feeling. 

part of me wants to hide in a dumpster on the morning of garbage pick up and then lift the lid when the garbage-person approaches the dumpster and climb out and grab the garbage-person by the shirt and yell, "goddamn it, what year is this."  and the other part of me just wants to help with the garbage pick-up.

a couple weeks ago i was out walking and i passed by a lady scraping ice off her windshield and the closer i got the more i kept thinking, "offer to scrape it for her" and then i almost offered but didn't for some reason and felt shitty walking away.   

THE RAYMOND THIMMES CONSPIRACY

here's a review of rontel.

(get in on the raymond thimmes conspiracy.  did i call him a pussy ass ho?  or was it a bitch ass ho? get your story straight raymond.)

here's another review.

thanks to people for writing reviews.  i appreciate people spending time doing that. 

also, what's the age cut-off for it being acceptable to walk around all day with all the hair on the back of my head sticking up from sleeping on it.  i'm wondering the same thing about tying my boots too. 

just looked to the side and forgot i was typing this and thought, "sniveling sporkolchino." 

 

LIT MAG

i'm starting a short run (lasting only today up until i get the 'right' submission) lit mag called, PILL PLANE.  i encourage you to submit flash fiction stories in the comments sections or to my email address, about characters and the ways they've successfully brought pills on a plane with them, in these modern airport security times. 

HOPE

this a review of rontel

this another one. 

this a review of my friend scott's new book crapalachia

this my friend jordan's new book.   there's a poem in it about me and him drawing late at night, tossed up on them beans, y'dig?

this a cover of 'she drives me crazy' by kelly schirmann.  we were going to do it as part of an e.p. we're releasing as young family, but i can't fuck with it.  i encourage you to listen to the kelly's cover and the original as much as you can.

also, last night, late, i passed by an apartment and through the window i could see a tv playing 'kindergarten cop.'  i felt hope. i felt like knocking on the door.  i imagined a classic looking mom and dad answering the door, with children clutching at their legs and the dad says, "why, it's pretty late son, me and the family why, we were just getting ready to sit down and enjoy kindergarten cop."   and then i say, "please help me."

should i make sexually-harassing male authors at readings "my thing." 

also, here's the facebook page for the reading on the 11th.  feels really embarrassing to have a release party for a book.  usually my release party is getting an email from cameron that says, "it's out" and then i close my email and stand up and stretch and just stand there.

if anybody wants to play soccer or something while i'm there let me know.  i played soccer last time i was in new york in a big field/park.   

also, i dont know if i have anywhere to stay.
