amen

the tragedy of life is simple and elegant like the monstrosity that is consumerism.  i can only indulge in certain tastes and influences.  but most of my concern is regarding the infinite wisdom of the centrifuge.  long from now, many years will pass but the term centrifuge and all that it represents will certainly be [...]

number one

i enjoy my new status as the number one singer in the world.  i really do.  its just that i have so many colored people to thank.  muddy waters.  ray charles.  howlin wolf.  the list goes on.  i really do apologize to chuck berry for stealing his songs.  i really liked them and well, i [...]

not really

i mean is it really that obvious that i have health care?  people look at me with such disdain because they can tell i have benefits.  i have no needles sticking out of me.  i have no diabetes.  i have no lupus but i do get high blood sugar every now and then i find [...]

i can be funny

no really, it is without consequence that i have a sense of humor.  i understand irony, but i fucking hate jane austen.  no really, i hate that subprime mortgage rate of a bitch, she represents all that is evil about popular art.  i mean come on, she is that insincere to write a novel about [...]

the agony of solace

i was once a lad, a quiet lad a member of a team, of an operational biohazard called mars.  i was one of the first to be deployed there, and i was outraged to find that there were no bathrooms.  my whole i had never had to take a shit outside, and here i was [...]

my days are numbered

lastly i would like to conclude tonight’s meeting with a note from our sponsor, the men who made this possible, the leaders of this techno-revolution, the pharm boys.  lets give it up for them we are so happy they could be here with us tonight, lets get a special round of applause together for kid [...]

i can only do so much

i dont know what to write anymore, what to say or how to act.  i dont think i have to say anything to communicate intensely, the most vivid experiences i have are silent and awe inspiring.  i cannot say that poetry or music or any other medium attracts my senses less or more than others, [...]

i am polite in my own way

to dismiss the anger that takes me far in life is to live a life with unquestioning grace.  i have not done so, but it is my honor to begin this second chapter of my life with a bang.  as it were a bang is not something that happens very often, but in this case, [...]

i pretend to laugh

tonight after i got home from work i started laughing at the many directions my life has taken.  it was not that long ago that i was a soccer player, delighting in manchester’s glory, striking goals for the best team in the premier league.  now that i have retired and taken on two children, my [...]
