so, i had 8 poems published 2 years ago and knew nothing about it...
not that i am complaining, but it would have been nice to been able to help publicize this when it was actually going out. oh well. i had 8 poems published in the book ";Or, How We Stopped Warming Up for 20 years and Learned to Exit the Green Room". my poems included in the book are: "trash", "nobody likes a quitter", "now serving number...", "god", "petty little arguments", "procrastination", "on the shore of luck" and "fork in the road". below is the Amazon.com link to the book. other poets in the book include Iris Berry, Kevin M. Hibshman, Laura Joy Lustig, Catfish McDaris, B.Z. Niditch, Normal, Mark Sonnenfeld, Lindsay Wilson, and many more.

Life
CC came back tonight and was strong. When Deadliest Catch came on the Yankees were up 3-0. I flip back and they are up 6-1, top of the 9th, bases loaded. I'm not thrilled that Soriano had to pitch yet again but he got a double play in 5 pitches. Very good. Let the train keep on rolling.
I may have lost my longest friendship I have earlier this evening. Apparently telling someone to believe in themselves and don't quit are means to blow up the last decade or so. And to top that off, my mother will probably need a hip replacement sooner rather than later. Funny how sometimes life can really fuck everything up. Needless to say, any excitement I may have had from my first full length book coming out soon is now completely gone.
Fuck me runnin'

someone told me i'd be a lousy junkie
a rather odd day. not very warm, not very much sun, but not cold. just dreary enough that i can feel impending rain in my lower back and in my head. i'm going with either old or insane.
found a new kitten today. not sure where A Boy Named Sue was hiding that one, but oh well.
got plenty of feeders out for the birds now. so, i imagine the squirrel population will of course rise. damn thieves.
i'm in a very weird head space at the moment. content yet bordering on depression. not sure which side of the fence my fat ass will fall on. i'm not feeling very creative yet something is saying i should be doing something. i always wonder about my friends on the mind drugs. do i want to go down that road? would i enjoy it? could i convince myself that the "drugged" one is the real me? would they work at all? for the first 36 years i haven't really wanted to know the answer. perhaps a good bottle of wine and Beethoven will solve all the problems i have. that has worked in the past.
oh yeah, so i guess i did wake up to a world after all. that sucks. hopefully the Yankees get healthy and i might actually enjoy my summer. or, maybe my new book comes out and people like it and buy it. that would be a nice change of pace.
or perhaps these zines that have rejected me for years will finally give in and say yes. you know who you are. fuckers.
a nice odd mix of music today. kind of fitting if you ask me.
Radiohead - Kid A
Lou Reed - Rock N Roll Animal
Johnny Cash - Unchained
The Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers
Guided By Voices - Bee Thousand
Nina Simone - Anthology
