H says to me, “Why don’t you just hit me?” This brings me to a dead stop. We have been fighting. It’s a volatile relationship. Mainly, because we are twenty years old. I for one am in my Angry Young Man phase. I have an opinion about everything, almost all of them malformed by my [...]

So I was outside just now and my downstairs neighbor is watching MASH reruns. It made me want to post this, a thing I call “Good Ol’ Boy Zilla and Son Of Good Ol’ Boy Zilla.” It all makes sense after the jump. But hearing MASH on a big day when lots of big things [...] As I go through the book proposal process, shopping around the memoir, doing all the stuff you do with that sort of thing (which I am not going into because a lot of it is waiting) I run into a certain kind of language from people when they talk to me. They sort of gravitate [...] This is the band I always wanted to be in. BTK is pretty close. The church I belonged to as a kid had a tape burning one time. A few things can be taken from that statement. First, books weren’t being burned, so no one was really concerned that we would take up reading anytime [...] Here is a performance from the April BTK show at Under Saint Marks Theater.

Sliding just past an oncoming train on a rainy night with bullets whizzing past me. It would be a [...] Hey everyone, I know we have been sidetracked on the blog with my spring tribute to road trips, but work on the memoir Monsters In The Wood does continue. As such, I will be doing a reading from the book this coming Monday, April 19th as part of the reading series produced by We Three [...] I’m not that big of a nature guy. But at that point in my life, I didn’t know that. Eventually, I would make it a mission to get to larger and larger urban centers. At twenty, though, I had only ever known the suburbs and the small rural town that my family came from, both [...] We had just turned west and so the view for me was towards the breaking sun and the rolling prairie. The sky was pink in the distance and turning to ink as it rose into the retreating night. The grasslands were topped with gold on black shadows. All the world was suspended between two layers [...] |
