seeing the answer, at least the path
still it eludes
despair pouring through
discipline is needed
Recently I saw The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. It had been awhile since I read the books but I did remember quite a bit. Especially about the towel, as Ford Prefect says “You’ve got to know where your towel is”. During the scene when Arthur Dent meets Trillian she mentions they should go to Madagascar. Normally this would not have meant anything to me, however I glanced at the nutritious, life-sustaining bag of Chex-Mix in front of me that I just purchased from Walgreens as an impulse buy. Low and behold it had an offer for a Madagascar towel on the package! Apparently Madagascar is an animated kids movie. Though I have no desire to have a Madagascar towel the synchronicity is too much for me to ignore.
Towel and thumb all set
Do panic motherfuckers!
Contingency saves
War of the Worlds
special effects cool
Tom Cruise was actually good
tripods are the shit
Alexander (Director’s cut)
time slithers away
a disgrace to my namesake
eyes always open
City of God
kids can be brutal
forgotten people survive
still hope for dreamers
Stepford Wives
plastic womanhood
can not bring real happiness
just smile, nod and shop
Kinsey
pioneering sex
free love can be dangerous
repression is bad
Ghost in the Shell
what makes a human
animated chicks are hot
questioning myself
House of Flying Daggers
deception the norm
bamboo forests are serene
players can still love
standing in the doorway
a crooked smile on your lips
radiant beauty from your soul
gently waving
as I pull away
My apologies to Mike Doughty for plagiarizing the title. That song was playing when I witnessed this wondrous scene.
heart stops a little
such beauty throughout her soul
love everlasting
Checkout this Flash animation/poem called My Neighbor’s Wife. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thanks Boing Boing

Women
women are evil
what the fuck
what am I missing
so out of touch with the opposite sex
will I ever figure it out?
doomed to live alone
will I ever unlock the secret?
forever a mystery
forever longing
“Tell me are you a badfish too?” Sublime

On election night while I was at the EARL watching all the states go red on CNN. To combat my depression of the impending outcome, I decided to practice the ancient Japanese art of Drunken Haiku. This is what I came up with, I have more but they seemed to get progessively worse…
The EARL
PBR is king
cymball monkeys grace the screen
the reliable
Election
red & blue battle
smirking face on the tube
please don’t let it be
EARL 2
dancing pabst & smoke
Mr. T watches over
chain barriers hold
Lust
poor joke goes badly
chance gone from stupidity
lonely night again
Election 2
rain falls constantly
opinions flail wildly
outcome uncertain
Mood
violence infects me
tearing at the ethical soul
part of my being
Election 3
the stressful waiting
country’s future on the line
eternal waiting
