5:50am


This morning I was getting ready for work standing in front of the television watching the last shreds of late night programming when this bumper came on.
I nearly died from the irony.

reset :1 :

in the dark
we exchange souls
and when morning
raises herself
over this city
you are gone and
i am as alone
as i have ever been
alone and
set free

Post-Pone-Ment


Well, My Friends...it is with a very heavy heart that I finally get real with myself and sit down to write this email.
Since last week I have been HAWKING the Weather Channel PRAYING for the land to dry out. I'd watch the local weather on the 8's and die a little when the 10-day forecast blinked on the screen. First it was cloudy with a 40% chance rain, then it became a 60% chance of rain...then it went to all out monsoon thunderstorms with hail the size of grapefruits dropping from the sky.
So, thanks to whatever forces that be, I am going to have to postpone my book party until Saturday August 1st.
Everything is still the same.

by far


hell is
a star
up in heaven
love does it's
part
death is
that ring
on your finger then
love
cuts your heart.

what
will you live for?
who
will you love?
look around...

the furthest
you will go
is
the closest
you will come.
