refraining from content or pointing at weathermen

2008/11/28 – 22:59

a car dealership closes on fourteenth street disgusted but clamoring for starry-eyed decorous lechery crisply ushered into red blaring sirened silence. cavernous swell you toss coins excoriated rumors due north northeast duly noted deep chested my heart’s rhythm jumpy since we scrambled ten of us fifty of them the once bustling square in cities tenderfaced [...]

minutes overtime

2008/11/24 – 01:02

Chicago was far enough once. which reminds me it is not that association gets you nowhere. or it is but gaping impractically. or more than the sage punctual like the pulse of a glock all the way to that shelf where instant gathers into shade. the best of distance brought not home exactly. base 10 [...]

not your everyday post

2008/11/22 – 23:14

…ultimately it ends up saying the same thing as every piece I have ever read on the topic of how introverts have to find ways to get along in an overwhelmingly extroverted society: there are not enough of us to really change our culture so that it takes care, or even notice, of our needs, and so the best we really can hope for is to find ways to adapt when possible and to suffer in silence the rest of the time.

Proposition 8 over my dead body

2008/11/15 – 22:23

Given that this is a queer blog, or that is it is a queer blog to the extent that the writer considers himself quite rather queer, it might seem odd that I have not said a whole lot about Proposition 8. Given also especially that I live in California and donated a little money to the No on 8 campaign and voted against it myself and did other assorted things to work against its passage, one might think I would have more to say.

Here are some reasons why I am not saying much.

Blowing it

2008/11/14 – 01:02

This was what I was going to post on the 11th after I had been on the train all day sleeping but I fell asleep in the middle of writing it. Sometimes sleep just leads to more sleep–you know how that goes? Two [ed.: yeah three since this one passed too] days pass without an [...]

With enemies like these

2008/11/12 – 19:45

Well I was not expecting to go on vacation right after NaBloPoMo started when I first signed up, and I have a few things to say about the idea that by missing a couple of days I have “blown it”–especially since my own motives for undertaking this challenge boil down very simply to “make myself [...]

A short treatise on religious rhetoric

2008/11/09 – 01:26

Because I am nobody sitting here in a deserted corner of the intarwebs, my post on the subject is not in this list, but bloggers all over the place are still talking about the racism inherent in blaming California African Americans for passing Proposition 8 on Tuesday. Alas, a blog has posted a list of [...]
