a recent creativity-online e-newsletter featured the pink ribbon: eva and faye campaign (nsfw) that promotes breast cancer awareness. it’s a provocative ad, but it got me thinking… where are the provocative prostate cancer awareness posters?

i lie awake in bed with the echo from the poets ringing in my head… a vestige, a holdover, a hangover from last night’s feast of open mic poetry & song & music… there is no remedy to this condition… only a hunger for more…
a nice overcast evening for a run at carrier park… still muddy in places, the river is pretty high on the banks & it smells like a bog…

further: presently listening to WGBH All-Classicl HD web radio stream…
this really boosts the quality of my 320kbs mp3 files… for those who may be interested…
finally discovered my @twitter trouble thanks to their twitter tumble log: “you may be running into a problem with followers… seeing empty followers lists and zeroed follower counts.”
i’m becoming obsessed
recently i began tracking my fitness routine through fitness journal. there’s a food journal feature that has surprisingly captivated my attention. i caught myself this morning looking at everything i eat & counting the calories i just ate. coffee with agave nectar: 69 calories. Kashi cereal with whole milk: 422. last night’s yuengling: 128. yesterday’s cookie: 170.
is it metro to say i’d rather be outside in my shorts soaking up the afterglow of summer’s warm sun?

Chapbook: Tomorrow We Sweat Poetry
This weekend copies of the chapbook Tomorrow We Sweat Poetry arrived. The publication of the chapbook is born from the Flood Gallery Fine Arts Center writing workshop program — specifically, the workshop I directed called “Write and do not waste time.”
The chapbook features poems by Susan Ryonen Keene and an introductory essay by myself which summarizes the poetry writing workshop.
An excerpt is available through my Issuu library.
Chapbook details: 20 pages, paperback, 5″x8″

imagine if Facebook and Twitter were in transportation rather than social networking…

twitter, i no longer love you
since the end of august, when i lost all the tweeple i follow & all the tweeple following me, my twitter experience has been lacking; even tweetdeck hates me. when i open tweetdeck ever column is blank.
one thing i really like about local tweets is staying informed with local events and matters & even weather/traffic related tweets. most of my national and international news i read comes from news organization tweets from bbc, financial times, der spiegel, nyt, & others.
the biggest negatives of the twitterverse include completely banal tweets (about waking up, going to a job one hates, eating a lousy lunch, bluh-blah, bluh-blah, bluh-blah) & social media elitism. to this end, i am seriously considering declaring twitter bankruptcy & deleting my twitter account.
checking my igoogle this morning, i find that it is 129 outside! another example that everything on the internet is correct.
i loathe ‘reality tv’ programs… but i really enjoy art, design & culture… but i have to say, bbc seems to provide some of the best content in the english speaking world…

there is no love here and there is no pain
every day is exactly the same
i’m writing on a little piece of paper
i’m hoping someday you might find
well i’ll hide it behind something
they won’t look behind
i’m still inside here…
every day is exactly the same, tried to escape the last song’s addictive quality only to have this nine inch nails song lodged between my ears… & on repeat…
you got the most
but nobody loves you
nobody has to
just because
just because
just because, i’ve gotta jane’s addiction song stuck in my head
