Write it all out beforehand, putting down each character’s individual characteristics.

Know what you are going to say before you sit down to write.

Write what you know.

Get everything in your head down on paper and edit later.

Use colors to make people visualize.

Fuck TS Eliot, love Danez Smith

Focus on the positive stuff when you write

Brevity is the soul of whit.

Keep it simple stupid

The best way to say it is the plainest way to say it

Watch for good or bad characterization, look for good characters.

Joys of parenthood

carseat vomit stain // flashlight look in angel baby’s eyes // a woman cheering

Summer 1956

buzz cut jughead hat // navy man and girl who waited // a cherry pie prize

No Kiss

kissing booth kisses // I have to tell you now // I don’t want them anymore // Let’s be boys // I see you different

NARCOS EN EL CARCEL

when you violate the precepts // and cool comes crashing down // the things you brought with you // are given away to whoever claims // them as their private property // but a supple skinned American girl //

will hold you and love you instead // because your butt is covered // from Iwo Jima to Tripoli you gonna // make it home fine son // nothing to worry about

This Covenant School Mass Shooting Is The Final Straw

Which Shooting?

The other day a mass shooting occurred in Nashville. Three nine-year-old babies and three sixty-year-old teachers died of gunshots wounds, inflicted upon them by a deranged lunatic. That this tragedy took place was really, very sad.

I wonder why there was no message from Matthew MacHoaugnahey lamenting gun violence, this time.

Why does this writer care?

As a former resident of Nashville, this shooting hurt my feelings a lot. I read that most people have basic instincts to protect children. When I heard about the shooting, it made me sick to think of precious children trying to learn in kindergartens across the USA, traumatized.

My experience

An angsty teenager who identified with hardcore music, I was bullied. I wore a spikey leather jacket, sang punk songs in the hallway, and pursued a failed dream of punk rock stardom. I would have probably gotten laid more if I had tried being happy, in stead. The point is, I identify with being out of high school and still angry, but this shooting shit has got to STOP.

What am I doing to stop mass shootings?

Gun control is out of control. I have a page that should be out later this month on Facebook, a forum for sparking changes in gov’t that will end mass shootings, called MSAR Mass Shooting Awareness & Resistance. My goal is to make it a project, do fundraising and have events

  1. Alumni of Florida Atlantic really believe in the team, strongly.
  2. We are united. We gather to watch the game together.
  3. FAU will be favored by public school grads, who will prefer FAU to a private school like University of Miami that is just a little ritzy.
  4. Florida Atlantic is a wonderful school, with excellent educational programs, which also excels in athletics, producing many professionals across sports.
  5. We have strong players.
  6. We have all the momentum of being the very first FAU basketball team to make it this far in the tournament.

Currently watching GONER TV MARCH 2023 on Vimeo and enjoying the music video for ‘basketball’ by John Wesley Coleman. It is tight. Really glad there is a TV station that delivers. Got tired of Fox News fumbling the bag every time.

Billups Allen is brilliant.

I have been drinking this for a couple days, and I have been having fun. It is very fruit-forward🍷It drinks like sweetwater. I would call this wine excellent and give it a ten out of ten.

For the 20+ dollar holler, you can get hold of it.
