some days the office is the loneliest place in the world…

GPOYW – recording studio edition (need more acoustic foam for this diy broadcast/recording studio… fyi, with a bootstrap-to-nothing budget, the podcasts have received almost 50,000 downloads)
the south garden (or the pepper & tomato patch) at mid july: 1 hot banana pepper plant & 1 jalapeno plant are still struggling to grow in this shady spot. the 4 bell pepper plants began to blossom. i think i may have a few spare dollars to buy additional pepper plants to fill in the empty space in the garden.
the north garden patch, mid july: though a quarter was destoryed by a very hungry critter, there are still a variety of un harmed plants: 4 pumpkin plants, 4 winter squash plants, 4 zuchini plants, 10 canaloupe plants, 4 cuccumber plants, 10 beefsteak tomoto plants & 6 cherry tomato plants.
i’ve heard it’s not to late in these parts to replant spinach plants. anyone know if that’s true?
something thing attacked the north garden late saturday night, early sunday morning: i’m not sure if it was a raccoon or the groundhog couple that was spotted late last week.
The best of the new crop are making use of both innovative form and linear narrative, producing poems that are at once relevant and accessible—in some cases even popular.

vela: sunshineismine: HAH! mattynicegy00: True Story
at first, i laughed self-consciously, nervously.
second, i got a little upset, because some of us men do try very damn hard to write everything we know about the women in our lives on those blank pages. some of us men actually remember anniversary dates, watch the kids on a 3-day holiday weekend so you can visit friends, change diapers, stop smoking cigars (because you asked), come home from work early, listen to you talk about the stuff of life, take you to your favorite seafood restaurant & there’s more that can be written on those pages.
but lastly, i want to apologize to women who have been surrounded by men who don’t even bother to know a woman’s desires & needs. it’s these men that think one falls in love. falling in love is like a tug of war with both the man & woman pulling the rope, making each other fall. in reality, you lean into love the way you lean into each other during a three-legged race. lean into each other, ache, get muddy, sweat, fall down & rise up together. love is messy & requires hard work. but since that’s too much work for some men, please return to your espn, nintendo wii & porn sites, objectify the women in your life as if they don’t hurt & then chuckle nervously at those blank pages – your life is empty.
but i suspect that there are women out there that have a personal story about a specific man (or maybe a couple men) that hurt you. and maybe the book title should read: ‘everthing [insert man’s name here] knows about me.’ & maybe there are women out there who don’t know there are hard working men that want to know everything about you & they want to fill all those blank pages with anniversary dates, lists of favorite things that make you happy, things that drive you crazy, places that make you feel secure, times to listen & talk into the night about the stuff of life & fall asleep shortly before sunrise.
& i think this is the most i’ve written in years…
