Hmm....apparently no one likes Brave New World, I knew I shouldn't have posted 2 articles at once.

Well citahellion, if I ever get a chance to finally write for a more formal publication I will be asking for all the editing help I can get...I may take you up on that. Happy Friday

leprechaun - thanks much for the comment and the poem...I dig the symbolism of each leaf. WF - if this goes over well hopefully I can make it a two parter, it was definitely fun to write.

Holy Hell, Suspeckted wrote an article! in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

It is the simple joys in life that get many of us through our rough days, rough weeks, or rough lives altogether. Funny how the many activities we do to stay sane often appear so trivial or mundane, but when done for our amusement, can be so refreshing. I have acquired many of such activities that all follow a similar theme in the way they have made it into my reper

Citahellion - I greatly appreciate the rare editorial response. this piece was free written so I didn't spend much time polishing it, but I never will turn down such constructive criticism. Many have difficulty following my rhyme schemes and it probably would be helpful if I ever found time to get to open mics where it would make more sense spoken. Johnny - you're the man, and I'm always encouraged by your writing. Mel - thank you f

I'm beginning to feel this way again, and it's been this way since when... do we suffer at our own hands, I used to put dreams and goals into plans... of attack, but now it's all reaction and with these bald tires from making so many damn turns I've got no traction... and can't make it up this hill, there's no way and no will...<

This is cute...especially with the PUSA quote, a band that is far underquoted in this JU's opinion.

And here I am...in my boxers wanting to write something.....but reading Johnny Masuda is a very close second...I can feel the apathetic despair in this...and I feel it myself.

Nicky, haven't been able to formulate worthwhile reactions, but thought I would mention that I've been enjoying what I've had time to check out.

Thank you brown-eyed girl, I'll do my best to pass along your "throw into Lake Superior" wishes to those who survive you...hopefully not me. But I will collect your sea glass. -ResurecTed

Bury me off of Seven Bridges Road in Art JoeUser Forums

Duluth, I'm sorry that I've, once again, returned empty handed. Not a breath closer, to breathing in the dreams I had, perched on your empty roofs, and while walking your steep 1/2 streets. If these dreams kill me I hope they throw my body off of Seven Bridges Road, I hope no one finds it, or places

Until Renamed Bernard Marx in Art JoeUser Forums

Until renamed Bernard Marx, labeled inappropriately, test-tube legacy, a half-truth blessed... only a test.

It took me a long time to realize how lucky I was to have friends that would push me to do stupid things like jump off of cliffs when we'd go camping and such...stupidity definitely opens your eyes to possibilities that you never saw in yourself before...stupid as they may be. Peace

Reply to From our stoop in Art JoeUser Forums

Trin, I would definitely like to look into the possibility of self-publishing a small book of poetry within the next 5 years, but first I'd like to amass a better collection and take some good time to polish old favorites...your support is a great motivator though. Thanks Trin and Sali

From our stoop in Art JoeUser Forums

Since I'm headin' north for a much needed weekend off of music and the outdoors I decided I'd allow myself a freewriting session on a Thursday instead of Friday, as if anyone reading this cares....a 1, and a 2, and a 3.... It's taken days, apart, the trail led straight down the throat to the heart, where she left it empty and

Working Through the Weekend in Art JoeUser Forums

I work through the weekends to avoid any post-illusionary success, to the start of a new work week, true that I have projected, dates and times, always saving up for something better, at least I think that's how I got here, but how better off am I from where I was, can I see the facts and figures, internal memos and spreadsheets

that editing and the sound of the dishwasher cannot touch this. NSHE - my favorite comment in recent weeks. And thanks for the visit WF...always a pleasure.

Sign with a big X in Art JoeUser Forums

Alas, we've arrived, awake, aware, and alive, of these decencies for which we strive...or strove, did I leave on the lights and the stove, the car running, I've remained cunning...and severely unnerved, so I grab for the wheel and I accelerate and swerve, across medians, across double lines, through working zones with double fines,

Reply to what's holding me up in Art JoeUser Forums

like doctors' writing, truth is herebut i can't read it, so i fear Damn Doctors, if they're paid that much shouldn't they at least have to write legibly? It's nice to have someone's work to read when I can think of nothing to write. -SuspeckTed PS - when did you become vanessa?

Reply to H.O.P.E. in Art JoeUser Forums

to crave an intimacy based in blood and bonding has become somewhat of a old-fashioned ideal. Never thought that I'd have any old-fashioned ideals, but there they are. No

Reply to In These large Veins in Art JoeUser Forums

Truly, there are tragic moments in our lives when the fantasy worlds we were so encouraged to create for ourselves shatter before us until we rebuild them to fit proper molds. It exposes us for our true passions, at these times we are completely vulnerable. -SuspeckTed

Reply to Workplace NUDITY and SEXUAL CONDUCT Policies in Blogging JoeUser Forums

HMMM...so now getting a boner at work is cause for dismissal? No, this is a public park policy, as in, those who attend the park are not allowed to have erections while they are on park land. I'm not about to go around to inspect the park-goers for signs of sexual excitement, then again, I figure anyon

Workplace NUDITY and SEXUAL CONDUCT Policies in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Below is the actual policy of my workplace for my public park attendant position regarding public nudity and sexual conduct, bolded in sections that I found particularly entertaining and thought it might be worth sharing. Definitions: 2.) "Nudity" means uncovered, or less than opaquely covered, post-pubertal human genitals and pubic areas, t
