I have become increasingly aware that some people think I’m making stuff up. Fair enough, but I’m not.
I used to be sort of paranoid about admitting the truth of my blog due to my job. Now I don’t have that problem any more.
The only thing that I wrote recently that was fictional was the Life [...]

If You Write About Nothing It Becomes Something
September 26th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Something Else
In my apartment there is no time. Or there is only one time. And this is it.
My clock eerily stopped working when I became unemployed. It was so weird I had a seizure. I barfed in the toilet. I danced like a virgin.
Or maybe the battery just got weak. The second hand perpetually ticks up [...]

September 25th, 2008 · 3 Comments · Travel
In the morning when I woke up, I was dirty. I wanted to go to the bathroom, but there were a bunch of things I needed to do before that.
First I would “shower” with my tarp and modified water carton. Immediately after was the only time I was really clean, so I’d put in my [...]

Um
September 19th, 2008 · 3 Comments · Memoirs
Class was good last night. Another five star poem. And I didn’t have to worry about getting fired the next day.
Then I slept nine hours.
I don’t even remember the last time I slept nine hours.
In fact, I didn’t think it was possible. Well, not until this morning.
I think I’ll take the rest of [...]

This Is The Shit

Life is different when you ain’t got no job.
MONDAY, CONTINUED
I went to a cafe to read and write. But I was so tired. I had gotten up in the morning, prepared to do real work. Like at a job. At my former job.

Some Freedom Is Free
September 15th, 2008 · 6 Comments · Memoirs
Regarding the plethora of free furniture in my apartment, people often have a comment.
“As long as your mattress is not free.”
To which I reply eloquently.
“Oh.”
I used to sometimes hang out with this guy named Jamie Kennedy in high school. He was famous in Benicia for being a spoken word poet, and more famous for being [...]
