February 2012
I should do more work in branding myself.
I write all sorts of things - and they’re rarely comparable to anyone else’s work.
Poetry
Novels
Short stories
Novellas
Music
Nonfiction/Essays
Lyrics
Stageplays
I also perform. I can:
Act
Sing
Dance (I really don’t do much of this though)
I am not a typical looking guy. I don’t have typical opinions and sooner than later I’ll have an entire arsenal of...

I apologize for the buzz (and my sniffles) but here’s a soon-to-be Barnstormers tune currently called “She disappeared”. (Played on the 4-string tenor banjo)
Never gets old.
I’m sure it does.
I'm sorry that you feel that Tumblr is censoring...
But considering that it’s not an arm of the government and is a privately owned blogging platform, you actually don’t have any “rights” to “free speech”.
Instead of yelling about your rights, why don’t you learn what they actually are?

Crowbar is a post-apocalyptic Zombie novel that I worked on for years. It’s fully graphed and plotted- I just have to write it. Unlike Lantern, it would only be about 45k-60k words long, which I could knock out in about a month. I just want to start finishing a few projects. The stagnation kills me.
Then I’ll just start publishing these things myself.
(EDIT: I just realized that I...

I’ve found the distinct pleasure of having beautiful girls in my life, whose beauty I have come to appreciate without the need of attachment or romantic reciprocity. It’s actually really refreshing. My youth made me blind to how awesome ladies were and are. They’re just lovely. Here are some (not all) of my favorite ladies on Tumblr.
This is my list of “Rad Tumblr little...

happyhealthyhopeful replied to your post: My day on Tumblr.
Tumblr likes it’s image base. Maybe put your writing on a picture of a cat surrounded by galaxies. yeah.
How’s that?
Now you know where I get it.
Dad: What are you listening to?
Me: My Morning Jacket.
Dad: Does every band you listen to try to ripoff Neil Young?

Saying Ron Paul knows what’s best for women because he was an OBGYN is like saying that white people know what’s best for ethnic minorities because they were once the colonizers present in their home countries.
It’s called a straw man argument and it’s utterly illogical. This particular one is also indescribably offensive.
I will marry this lady right here.

Fiscal conservatism: “Mexicans are known for being harder workers for lower pay, sounds like a plan.”

I took a peek at some of the comments on the recent post that Tumblr is considering banning blogs that promote things like eating disorders and suicide. Predictably, many people are whining about how Tumblr is taking away their right to free speech.
If you are of this mindset, please note the following:
Such a policy does not encroach on your First Amendment right to free...

Fox News hates

And considers them threats to your children.
This is why I hate Fox News.

Music “industry”.
“Publishing.”
Academia
These are all ways that people figure out how to get money away from artists.
They will tell you that they’re “protecting the investment of artists” or whatever bullshit but honestly, I’ve never seen it it. I’ve just seen lawyers and corporations who manipulate the law crush small businesses and...
