Evolution of a Hipster.
- Born rich
- Awkward nerd elementary school
- Mall rat middle school
- Emo high school
- Art student College (about this time sex is a major factor of self esteem booster, most likely sex with an older person or professor.)
- Move to the big city
- ADD DRUGS AND DRINKING (VERY IMPORTANT!)
- Today’s Hipster.

Well, I’ve got 2-4, and currently sitting in a classroom on 5 right now. 6 will happen eventually, though I doubt 7 ever will.
1. Born rich
2. Awkward nerd elementary school3. Mall rat middle school (wasn’t a mall within hours of where i lived)4. Emo high school (that was just a few years before my time)5. Art student College (about this time sex is a major factor of self esteem booster, most likely sex with an older person or professor.) (private university art student… no sex allowed… at all)
6. Move to the big city (any town with a population over 1000 is considered a big city to me)7. ADD DRUGS AND DRINKING (VERY IMPORTANT!) (if coffee is considered a drug, then yes)8. Today’s Hipster.
glad to learn i am not a hipster… being an awkward grade schooler and moving out of the village simply means i escaped the frying pan for the fire…
in an escape from the bias and collectivism of wikipedia, i discovered and am enjoying the encyclopædia britannica’s blog. some of the interesting stories of the day include: Do Americans Support Capitalism, and Which Capitalism? and Starbucks Not the Answer for New York Freelancers. My favorite post so far is Creative Design (Space-Saving Coffee Lids).
// looking for my lost poems… if you find them let me know… the assignment is due before wednesday…
// 50% of the book division’s catalog achieved breakeven/profit status… a case for small press publishers?
// kidlinger at breakfast: you spell rose ‘r-i-o-s’ (& points to the last 4 letters in cheerios)…
// is it counterproductive to edit a poetry manuscript while listening to metallica…
// from seeds, i now have 18 pea plants, 18 pepper plants, 10 spinach plants, 18 cantaloupe, 20 cabbage… the rest are still germinating…
// i should reply to all the emails i’ve neglected… but every time i start, the kidlingers turn berserker & search for lands to plunder…
The market for new poetry is small; it is not bought and sold like modern art, or hankered after by the very wealthy. In fact, if you consider poetry by brutal commercial rules, it is a miracle it exists at all. Yet not only does poetry exist, it is flourishing – and not just among the grand old oaks of literary society, but in the grassroots of bohemia. New, young writers are using poetry to break rules and free themselves creatively.

// rubbing snow out of my eyes in an attempt to wake up… i could really use coffee… it’s been almost 30 days without the dark elixir…
// binge writing… equivalent fractions… bulimia nervosa… three-step allegorical algorithm… snow ‘makes me rush/my poem…’
// still hear a hajhuj ringing in my ears…

is old europe out of business?
i was wandering downtown a few nights ago in search of a jamacan coffee, but the lights were out and looked like old europe has closed shop.
co-worker: what are you eating? your so healthy. that’s not like you to eat something like that. where’s that from?
me: it has jalapenos and monterey jack cheese…
co-worker: oh, i can’t believe it.
