-"Thousands- Out of the thousands who are known, or who want to be known as poets, maybe one or two are genuine and the rest are fakes, hanging around the sacred precincts trying to look like the real thing. Needless to say I am one of the fakes, and this is my story." -Leonard Cohen
-"Style is the answer to everything.
A fresh way to approach a dull or dangerous thing.
...To do a dull thing with style is preferable to doing a dangerous thing without it." -Charles Bukowski

Don't Throw Me Down Clark
"Where do you think you're going? Nobody's leaving. Nobody's walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas. No, no. We're all in this together. This is a full-blown, four-alarm holiday emergency here. We're gonna press on, and we're gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny fucking Kaye. And when Santa squeezes his fat white ass down that chimney tonight, he's gonna find the jolliest bunch of assholes this side of the nuthouse."

Bullets
Bullets can cut a man down.
Bombs can kill a large group of people.
Slapping a woman can make love die.
But, say the word fuck, and nothing will happen.
The day we become afraid of words, is the day we call it quits.
Song for Today-Band of Horses-"Laredo"

Novel
It seems these days every other person I come across that is "writing a novel" already has the cast picked out for the movie adaptation of the book and the outfit they plan to wear to the premiere neatly set out...ready and waiting...
This is an interesting perpetuation to examine, propagated by J.K. Rowling and Stephenie Meyer's success stories, that now the writing of a novel is seen as a transitory step to blockbuster movies and merchandise deals.
On one hand it is great to see so many people enthused about writing and bringing to life creative new worlds, but juxtapose this to their underlying motivation and it is hard not to at least partially discredit their undertakings. Yet, I think the end product itself will justify this idealization of the writing process, as generally those who are writing these fantastical new novels as a shot at stardom don't always have anything groundbreaking to say, and very well could benefit from a writing workshop or six.
Write to write, write for the love of being creative. Write because you have something to share with the world (that could only be described by you because it has been seen from your unique perspective). If it's well done the people will come.

The NBA and Cliche, Thoughts 1
A preface: I very much enjoy and embrace the idea of Twitter and having a very small amount of words to get across big ideas (at times). I was thinking recently about wanting to write a post regarding pro sports players and following this with a post about the worn out cliche phrases people throw around. I have a tendency to ramble and waste space and words. Thus, I want to regularly lay out my thoughts in a more concise form. And we arrive at "Thoughts".
I find it hard to imagine why NBA players feel they need to carry guns.
NFL players: usually wide receivers, YOUR job is to catch an oval leather ball and run until you are knocked down or cross a line. You will be paid extremely generous amounts of money for this. Your only other task is to become really good at doing the above through strength training and drills. If you can't handle this, there are millions upon millions of other people that very likely would do anything to have this JOB, which is what this is bottom line, a job; then again so is working at a cell phone kiosk in a mall- take your pick.
Words that are tired in songs: love, dream, beach, California, breathe, hold on, summer, nights.
If this were a future world a la Kevin Costner in Water World then you very well might be the proverbial toaster in the water.
A double barrel shotgun tattoo with the script- Buy one get one free.
Girls who are unathletic turn me off.
People who incessantly use movie quotes when speaking to you as part of their own diction, like always answering in the affirmative using "totes" (thanks to Paul Rudd in I Love You, Man) make me less than enthused. Along these lines, people who employ cliche, worn-out phrases such as "I will never drink again" also bother me.
"Bullshit is the glue that holds society together."-George Carlin
Trampolines!
Asher Roth's "I Love College" is a song that I am playing again and again. I think it has so much more relevance and nostalgia for people who have actually went to college. Obviously.
