So how all youse guys 'n' gals doing?

I was gonna try to work for the physical plant at school and do some painting in exchange for free room for an undefinied period of time, but it looks like I'll bow out for one of my friends if there's not enough room (which is appears there isn't)

So now I'm uncertain as to what to do with my summer...

I really do need to get on the ball with journals and writing contests to have a reason to continue to get better, but I find myself stymied as to how I'd find out about any that are even semi-reputable...

I can't even remember why I scrapped this thing, since it was just something I had planned to include as a collage-scrap or something... I can't even remember now what exactly I had planned. Wiggy.

Apparently when searching for "zodiac dragon" it showed up on the 3rd page for some ungodly reason having to do with the voodoo formulae used by the dA quick-search for anything other than Date-based searching.

So goddamned bizarre!

This is as evidenced by the delay between starting my newest deviation and finishing it, on my second try.

Yeah, I completely abandoned the first attempt.

Now I may finally be able to do those critiques I was asked for about 3 months ago...


Anyway, I've created a sequel, of sorts, to Hunger in the Air. It's at least in a similar sort of universe with a similarly malevolent source of green light/haze.

Hunger in the Museum. Have fun with it, I dares ya.

Special thanks to and

You guys should check out the Visual-Lit connection sometime. It's an interesting exercise if nothing else.


In other news, this Daily Deviation by GreenSoda or sommat [link] has managed to capture the Noir-ish mood that I want to transmit in something, but haven't yet found the right place for 'em, and combined it with Inspector Gadget of all things.

Wow.

You know... I'm starting to suspect I have a problem with this, as it keeps happening.

Gonna have to look into how to deal with this. Any suggestions? I mean, other than the perennial, kill yourself and do us all a favor or at least get castrated.

Also, I'm surprised there wasn't a more direct way to express the fact that I still feel rather ill.

Y'know...

It's times like these when it's been about 10 minutes since I starting writing a journal entry and have lost my train of writing (even though it's fairly straight-forward). I do some of the strangest pondering.

I still don't know how the hell I got to the thought, "I wonder what it is I want out of life anyway," but let this be a warning to you. ...I guess...

Anyway Check This Out.

Kinda interesting retro-vid. and the motivation for my mens rea.

So I think I'll ask you gents and dames to kindly let me in on what you'd like to see from me, or what sisysphian scenario you'd like to inflict upon me.

Hell, I'll even expand on the offer so I might even do something based on what you ask. Might even encapsulate my feelings and extracted notions from something of the visual nature or scene.

So yeah, let me have it. If you've got it.

I feel like an intervention of some sort is in order, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't do to just sit by and leave it to the injured party and her boyfriend. It just wouldn't be ...formal...proper...hmm.

In other news, I absolutely have sucked about keeping in touch or even up to date online, at all. I can't even remember if I went onto an instant messaging client in the month of November... October, even...

I was rather surprised when I logged into GMail and there was a little tab that said something about AIM, but I haven't been on my gmail either so I'll have to go back and check to make sure that wasn't just a dream I thought was reality...

Well, merry christmas, hohohopeful XXXmas (the official holiday of Victoria's Secret and Hustler), and general winter holiday-time debauchery (drunken or non-alcoholic, your choice mis amgios)...

Because, if you can't get snickers, get snockered... Or something.

In other news I have taken it upon myself to figure out how to half-ass a flyer since I have found myself sorely lacking in the department of whipping up a flyer in 15 minutes or less.

Though with my luck I'll find a tutorial of flyer-creation for dummies right after I attack the campus (using the university's foolishly provided for provisions of free printing and printer paper ) so that even the people who don't see the first wave of flyers will abhor them merely by hearsay.

Or something. I doubt I could get the word out that well anyway.

Suffice to say, it was a tad wiggy, and I know think I've found some clues to begin to go on if I should care to or even blunder into investigating why so many writers feel the need to have their works destroyed posthumously... Though I kinda wonder how well I'll do on that since I think I have the reason why they don't do it themselves figured out, which usually means that I'm either right and plagued by self-doubt or really, really far off base and need to find my way back to the train tracks I was following.


So... Turkey Day has come and gone, any casualties to report, I wonder? I had a fairly decent one myself, aside from helping my mother sort through the detritus that gets shoved in the basement whenever one moves in somewhere and doesn't fully unpack. Fortunately we haven't just resorted it and some of it has been liberated and some of it has had its stay of execution revoked.


My main malfunction as of now is a bit of toenail trouble and the fact that I've got it into my head to embark upon the masochistic exercise of trying to organize and start a writing group here at my new place of residence. Yeah, I know, if I wanted any chance of success I should've started at the beginning of the year when I wouldn't be competing with the fact that people had that one night (or afternoon) of the week free from their other clubs and frats and what have you, but I think that it'll at least have enough people show up to be painful if I launch it in the headiness that is the new semester. At the very least though, I should get hate email from some of my future classmates in the creative writing class I'll be taking...

So how's life on the flip side?



(I always seem to find myself needing a contemplative (or some other roughly synonymous adjective) mood. Annoying, neh?)

What is it that I want to write about? and how?

And why do I feel lonely to the point of feeling like my spiritual-emotional connection with one I care about is being "cut" when I lay this one down to sleep, tucked in, and leave to go to my own bed? Is not caring for those we care about, and being allowed to see them in such a vulnerable state supposed to make one feel closer to them?

....In short, I guess you could say that I'm feeling kind of wonky on the inside, especially as regards my writing... I think I shall take an official hiatus from uploading as opposed to this unofficial dry-spell I've been having.

Though I am curious... Why do you do what you do?

In otharr news, there was some blargh about waking up on the front page with a half-naked beauty in front of a mirrarrr, oh but I've had me brain pillaged....

Anyway, have a taste of 4:30 AM ..."stuff"... composed on a whim, spurred on by an email from a friend.




Cheesy Cult Movie,
use feces for cheap laugh.
Don't watch with friends
in the hour of Whitecastle.

(This is an attempt at transmitting a certain story we came up with to explain while we were late, and to mess around after getting the white castle because we felt our excursion needed an adventure to go along with it to tell of.)

Pimp in his crib, say,
"drop it like it's hot
to my hos in the back,"
Late one Sunday Night,
Dude, where's my crave case?


They shamble, stumble, stagger,
lunge, linger, lie in wait,
for what they crave is in our case,
brains or burgers, that depends,
we charging hobos or zombies again?


Suffice to say, when going to white castle, eat it while it's hot my friend. And get it in quickly, saying a prayer that they'll have nice toilet paper where you'll be in 3-6 hours.

So, folks, if you'd like some feedback on some pieces of yours, then let me know, either send me a note or email me, I'm real easy going about being contacted. I mean, just so long as you're not rude and you can handle some idle-to-warm chatter from my end and don't ask me to look at so much that I'd have to make a queue and list of what to take a look at.

Since if you do send me that much, I'll probably just do one thing and then forget the rest. I mean, if you're that interested in my opinion, you can wait enough to break it up into manageable bits as far as requests go.

That probably sounds mean, heartless, and cruel, but I don't really think anyone is going to want my commentary and opinion, so this is mainly hypothetical anyway.

Well, you guys and gals have a good one.

hmm, women are strange creatures only made stranger by the fact they're somehow the same species.

oh, yeah, and I'm going through my gallery right now and reevaluating whether I should have them in deviations, in scraps, on deviantART at all, or if I should just take 'em off of the internet and burn the hard copies. Y'know, the usual sort of hierarchy of badness.

or scaled badness as the case may be.

I've gone through and cataloged my stock and am now about halfway through the process of archiving, being about in the 60s out of 117...

Then I'm going to start on my scraps after that.

As to why I haven't really been having new stuff show up, that's because the only decent thing I've written is a song and that's debateably decent as it is. I'll either post a new journal after this one or deviation it... not sure. you'll find out easily enough though. The annoying thing is that it's almost metasinging in a way. But then weirdness does seem to follow the music of Morphine and its creator, Marc Sandman (RIP)....

Ho-hum... Let's see, writers block... oh yeah, and I keep hurting my ankle over and over again, very annoying business that. Even after I've gotten an ankle brace. Must not be getting enough potassium in my diet.

Kittens are getting on well and their mommas aren't nursing them as much anymore, ever since they learned how to escape from their closet (funny how they all wanna get out of the closet, neh?) and have been going through the process of being litter-trained. I think they've learned that the litterbox is the place to go to the bathroom, not sure how much more is necessary to consider them "trained" though...

Whoo! All kinds of personal details you didn't want to know, eh?

well, too bad. If you're lucky though I'll start writing again soon before I go into an editing frenzy and you have to sit through reruns week. Or was it sweeps?

Not much, given as the askings not within rights or bounds.

c'est la guerre. or something like that.

It probably would have been too anime-ish anyway. or grandiloquent or whatever word you'd use to disparage the thought for being too outlandish, too cartoony, too overwrought.

Sod it, I say.

I dare say I liked the way the snake bit it, though. Always did wonder about that Snape bloke. Somehow seems like it was too clearcut and simple in the end.... Interesting though how many constants there are, in the caricatures we draw of ourselves.

And that damnable question of where and why the cycle of sexually abusive relationships seemed like a good idea at the time. Or maybe just how it is such a pernicious thing...

a little sump'n to get the juices flowing. a writing exercise from the same night as when I started this little number... [link]

My childhood smelled like...

...orange juice, flowing by the gallon and mixing with chlorinated water on bathing suits and the pale, ghost-like bodies of tourists before falling onto the blistering cement.

...too many cars, people in the summer, not enough winter, the feat of not breaking a sweat meaning certain death for the foolhardy.

...The sweat of a hundred thousand people, most of whom were only going to be there "just a few days" to catch the sights, and the frozen body in Maustown.

The black one gave birth on saturday and the blonde on wednesday, and by the time the black one started swapping kittens, hers were twice the size of the blonde one's... 6 and 7 kittens born to each litter, all told... 3 tortoiseshell calicos, 2 dark tabbies, and one black kitten who we think is going to be another longhaired cat in the first litter... and 2 white, 4 blonde/ginger(hard to tell until they get a bit older), and one which is speckled in the blonde litter...

updating.... July 3rd.

...Hmm, well, it seems that the blonde one is actually taking two of the tortoiseshell kittens and the black momma is taking a ginger kitten and a white kitten as their own....

And yesterday I even found them with all of their kittens moved into one of the two closets (we set up two nesting sites in different closets) with all of the kittens inbetween the two of them as they were nursing.

Unfortunately we had to break that up since if they were going to be in one closet my mom wanted them in the other one, since that closet she had a hard enough time using with only one of the cats in there and the other closet isn't used very much at all. That idea didn't pan out very well as Sally (blonde) did not want to go into the other closet except to pick up one of the tortoiseshell kittens she thinks is hers and try to drag it to the other closet.

They really suck at the whole picking up their kittens thing. she dropped it like 3 times getting it over to the other closet inbetween the two times she did it. the first we stopped her since there wasn't anything to go back to (we had rearranged the formatting of the two closets when we moved the kittens and mother cats)... but the second time we let her do as she would and moved some of her kittens for her, since she was content to have just one kitten and leave the rest mewling for their mother in the other closet because cats only have a certain amount of nipples and Josey's kittens are too big for Sally's to compete with them for food.

So basically I think the black cat is trying to starve or at least runtize all of Sally's kittens by having added two of her kittens to Sally's litter while she was giving birth. Funnily enough, one of the ways runts is determined is by the momma cat simply deciding not to clean one of her kittens. It had to break the flem seal over its nose and start breathing without any help from its mother and it was only after physically moving the kitten in front of her face that the mother cleaned it off at all. And so it's about a day behind the rest of the litter in terms of growth and fur. ]]> ~Coidzy http://Coidzy.deviantart.com/journal/13323392/ http://Coidzy.deviantart.com/journal/13323392/ Tue, 12 Jun 2007 23:21:58 PDT Summer Dusk

Set: a Play to Wright

Let’s wright a play together,
We’ll call it “The Scottish Play,”
Just to mess with drama geeks
And their oh-so thespian lovers
For all that ado they do so well
About sound and fury with pomp
But meaning, actually, slightly less
Than nothing.

'Mongst the Crow-kin...

War is the king of those peoples
Living in the Land without Meaning
Leading them in their folly

For beyond senseless violence,
Brutality, rapine, murder too
There is a power here,
Amongst the blackened bones
Cruel and Hideous Strength,
Ay, to mock the Postmodern artiste,
Dallies ‘mongst the gorged crow-kin

War is Meaning’s blackhole,
All that is near War is sucked in
Twisted, and destroyed as it becomes
Sustenance for War’s Decadent Versailles

Well, my best friend, got appendicitis and we caught it on Saturday after climbing a rockwall. So, that was interesting, you can probably imagine.

Funny thing is... They don't have any decent tests for it... Which makes sense considering that they generally only ever bother to catch it when people are one hour away from death because of it... Ah, Medicine, how tiresome you are...

Anyway, go over there and congratulate him on his ability to deal with excruciating pain so well that people thought he was being a hypochondriac about it all...

Or pester him to post some shots showing off the scars...

Do not Proposition the Opposition,
during your round it is unwise to try
to maneuver into such a position
as to push your counter’s parts
against the podium, to your Perdition

In regards to my last journal entry, I posted Version II of the MIT Dallying on the white board of their English teacher. Have yet to check whether they've found out about it. I made sure their teacher knew about it and was okay with it being there, so I doubt he'd be responsible for tearing it down, since he's got a sense of humor and was okay with the idea.

I'm pretty sure one of the two girls it was for figured out what I did after I pointed her out after she passed me as she had him that hour and I explained a bit more of it to him...

And I know that the other of the pair wasn't planning on going to his class that day. I think I'll ask my friend who has that class with the original of the two if anything about it came up that class hour...

anyway... the alternate version of the original reason for this journal entry.

and attack you with the evolution of a little warning/congratulations I left to the two girls I know who are going to MIT from my school.

rawrleglee

1. Original, extemporaneous and spontaneously typed up on facebook.

No words will suffice,
when three letters say it all.

The place you're headed,
with meaning beyond meaning,
without birth of poetic womb

Well... try not to let the lore get to you.

~~~

2. Written in my notes to refine the idea further.

No words will suffice,
No they just won’t do to speak
What it is you’re embarking
Not when those three letters
Say it all so well,
Even giving us a mental picture or two
Without needing to wring the life and
Essence out of the poets.

M – I – T

No poets were harmed in the production
Of this Icon.

~~~

3. Typed and tweaked edit of the handwritten one.

No words will suffice,
No they just won’t do to speak
What it is you’re embarking

Not when those three letters
Say it all oh so very well,
Even giving us a mental picture
Or two or three or four
All without needing to wring
Life or essence out of the poets

M – I – T

No poets were harmed
In the production of
This hallowed Icon

~~~

4. Taking the idea of the sans poetas and moving it to the background with more of the original warning...

No words will suffice to describe
To romanticize, praise, declaim, or
Tell of where you now go

Not when the name,
Nay, the mere initials
Say all that can or needs be said
Of your new scholar’s roost

M – I – T

Try not to let that
Which was borne out
Without writer’s blame,
Get to you, mademoiselle.

~~~

5. tweak of #3 in regards to the poets bit. Wrote this one up to post on the facebook of the second girl.

No words will suffice,
They cannot speak to
What it is, this road
You’re set upon
Heading in Boston way

Words lose out when three mere letters
Say it all oh so very well,
Those letters so emblazoned
Upon our psyches as to
Recall popular mythos,
Sometimes in color picture too,
All without needing
To wring the life or essence
From the writing group

M – I – T

No poets were harmed
In the production of
This hallowed Icon

~~~

And thusly you now have a picture of my insanity, I wrote this for such an ungodly reason that I can't even imagine having had a good one at the time now in reflection.

Whim and whimsy, you know...

~~~~~~~~~
Manuscriptus:
1. Invocation to the Muse
2. Wordsmith's Geas
3. Beautiful Girl, Untainted by Love (Okay, so the naming system is a bit variable for this one...)
4. Final Valediction
5. Such Graceful Skill

These interpretations are given uploaded and the writer will feature them in a journal, in their deviation (as preview work) or a combination of at their discretion. A literary piece may be interpreted as many times as the writer will allow. The visual artist will also link back to the original work in their deviation of course.

flushed faces straining to send
song that cannot be sound

Let your brushstrokes carry me
as the staff carries notes,
brushy staccato thunderclaps
ala hits of the orchestra brass
doping me up for the smooth,
linear neoclassicist, dances
promenading in stately elegance
meets glazed, syrup-flowing grace
so thick you can stick a fork in it,
and then I'm done, down before you

Strum me Warhol and Lichtenstein
on that rhythm guitar in the corner
6-strings to stand in for the 60s

Lay me down, with smooth jazz,
silky, sexy dancing notes in the air
as Lawrence's figures find that sweet spot
of joy in sorrow, blues-ecstatic where art
and sense meet in minds for
consummate matches of dancing skill,
whirling away on the sinuous breeze out,
out into that sweet, smoky haze
The nights of the Jazz Age reborn
with sfumato'd neon lights ablaze

Picture me this, capture in your lights
the electric sex of the fusion blast,
as Rock falls, falls, falls
into decadence untold, untellable
and its children burst forth
from that half-live corpse

Model Me Mozart in Marble, in Mist.

Check that out, might still be some issues from the power outtage, or not. I just felt like honoring that request, if a bit belatedly. Read if you haven't gotten informed about what happened and proceed from there. Y'know how stuff like that works...

Also, how glad are you that I don't have a scanner so that my recent butchering of the word "art" cannot be inflicted upon you at all?

Might find it interesting, or at least informative(culturally or not). Anyway, if you're interested in what I said to it, that's reason enough to check it out. After all, it's not often you can peer into this reserved fellow's psyche based on what he writes.

Or maybe it's such a common occurrence that you don't think you've ever seen his view on art and why Art History has made him insane. Maybe you're just stalking him, regardless, this is the link for you.

...Questions of My Own...

A series of inter-related questions of sorts....

What would it be considered if there was a geeky-culture influence on what would otherwise be glamour photography? A combination between cosplay and glamour photogging? anime-otaku undertones?

Hmm... I should probably go and look at the fetish and glamour galleries. Somehow doubt fetish means what I think it usually means on this site, but, it can't hurt to look at the gally descriptions here for a first shot at a conceptual wording/thought.

I'm thinking about this because I just had a brief discussion of an idea for a photoshoot relating to such things.

All poets tell the truth, for a given value of "truth," anyway; to misappropriate and paraphrase a Terry Pratchett quotation. (Probably butchered a semicolon too.)

Nothing, much less any person, can tell the Truth, due to the fact that well, noone knows it quite just yet. The further one sifts into the area where Truth dwells, the more infinitesimally, asymptoticly small the kernel gets, until, well, either people decide for a while that there is no truth or they get bored and say "bugg'rit, it's all relative anyway, so let's get snockered."

Indeed, by being untrue and willfully sadistic towards the medium, the poet shifts to showing the truth about the dangers of the narcissistic, misanthropic elements of the differently broken psyches proverbially attracted to the arts.

Essentially the poet's primary job is to retain the ability to still be considered a poet both by the self and by some external entity(usually). And to do so, some certain things must be done... So, yeah, I'd say that loosely, the quote is true. But its connotation is far to narrow for the full range of truth coming from the range of poets, as some poets only dimly reflect upon the truth as pertains to life, society, the abstract ideas and ideals, if they ever do or did. Sometimes the truth of horse manure is that it is horse manure, after all, not all imagery is symbolist.

Hmm, I can see why people liked responding to this.

Have you done your pseudo-philosophical pondering? It's for your health, you know.

You really should consider it.

Anyway, in order, the poems I've put together are:
1. Invocation to the Muse
2. Wordsmith's Geas
3. Beautiful Girl, Untainted by Love (Okay, so the naming system is a bit variable for this one...)
4. Final Valediction
5. Such Graceful Skill

Essentially 2 and 5 are representative of my older work that I can stand to look at without taking a red ink pen to in a fit of self-criticizing angst. Then 1 and 3 are representative of my new work that I'm doing. Number 4 in the back there, that's the result of heavily revising and then editing to change the purpose of the entire poem, and this being based off of a middling-old piece of mine known as "A Mug's Lust, Indeed."

"Beautiful Girl, Untainted by Love" is pretty much the same principle only with a less extreme makeover of purpose and drive and more of the heavy editing of a new piece.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Concerning my last Journal Entry:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, not to worry about my health or physical safety. My emotional-mental health-safety are anyone's guess as far as that goes. Part of the business, y'know.

Essentially a cross between an expression of my disgust at my older stuff's "emo" shtick (Dependent upon a hope that I'm no longer under that same shtick) and wondering whether anyone actually reads this stuff.

I've been finalizing some :shit: that's been hanging around for awhile about college-shtuff. So, that's been exhausting and...several other things which are expletives.

So, don't worry, and go on down and watch this if you have time to be worrying yourselves over me or anything really...

I wonder if anyone's ever done a redux in part of T.S. Eliot's The Wasteland.

Or at least made a titular homage to it.


Hmm...

The Ambrosia-Poison: Freedom

The ambrosiac-poison of Freedom

A most ecstatic, blissful death
But not of the idiom Gothic

Tempts with the promise
of forbidden love and thoughts
moonlit dance, sweet romance

forming the great questions of the age
with your flowing, free movement
passion yes, but lustless with desire
till it burns in the darkest night
spreading to all worthy comers

the crescendo, the apex, your zentih
now marks the beginning of descent
decline in your decadence,
not benign as chocolate,
but wild as the Fall of Rome
and know that it is because

You Must Be Free


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Ruined Not of Love's Journey or Travail

Beautiful Girl, in soul and body
Uncageable, Immutable
Immune to the snares
of lust, love, longing
moving about without impediment
and fascinating all who can
glimpse her and see more
than just looking twice

What aspect so inspires this lust, this longing?
This feeling this femme possesses something-something-
even men have lost to society’s gender game?

Well, there’s more faces to it than
the thousands
we’ve painted on her portrait
as we long for her canvas
Her-- idiom changing the flow
of our words-pen-brushwork strokes
her-her-her to best come out
and truly be in the finished piece
the homage to her is the spirit
of she who gives the reason

there’s beauty,grace,truth, sure enough,
yet there lurks within her presentation
passion, desire, the creative flame,
The ambrosia-poison of Freedom
yields blissful, chocolat-decadence
death sweet, but not Gothic

Stylish, Tasteful Sexuality
All but unheard of
and with the restraint and deliberate way
that brought empires down of old
coupled with that gleam of the eye,
tilt of the light about her
that makes one want to know the mind-
soul-person-spirit, who she be

She is all that we put into her
and yet so much more of her own
stuff, substance, manifest self
without the added fragility
of façade, fronts, or actress’ artifice

She is Her, Her is She
The specific Self is unimportant
as any one who wields this
Self-possessed liberation
Truly is touched by goddesses
and among women finds favor
in the eyes of the Many
even if law and custom be
put to the new inquisition

In Layman’s terms, I’ll try
To lay it all right out, plain, so
I guess she’s what you’d call…

a kickass girl who isn't ruined
by a thing called Love.

Or has even bested the demon


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Girl of Multiplicitous Hue

Rainbow-skirt Hippy Girl
walking down the way
glittering with hues,
colors flashing like bangles janglin'

How she catches eyes –
leastways all the guys
turn to catch a glimpse
even those who "ain't into that kinky shit"
drink their fill of her visage

Whether her locks be Raven's fare
a golden tribute to all maids fair
scarlet, sinuous tresses for a sorcerer's dame
or any hue under the sun or over rainbows-
She tempts by what she is
as she weaves her course
through the crowd and all our lives

O Girl of Multiplicitous Hue
Shine on in that day’s glow
And gleam in this hot night

Just don’t be too surprised when
this courtship lasts longer than one’d expect
might as well build up the focus
and intent of purpose
up to an overpowering crescendo-wave
to lose yourselves and half the countryside
into a honeyed moon’s storm
in that space betwixt reality
and ethereal madness, offered only
to you few.

(Update: I've added in the most recent/final completed version of this poem before the fragmentation process started.)

Rainbow Skirt, Hippy Girl

Rainbow-skirt Hippy Girl
go walking down the way
her colors flashing like bangles janglin'
catches all eyes, leastways all the guys
turn to catch their glimpse
even those who "ain't into that kinky shit"

Whether her locks be Raven's fare
a golden tribute to all maids fair
scarlet, sinuous tresses for a sorcerer's dame
or any hue under the sun or over rainbows-
She tempts as she weaves her course
showing signs of the promise once scried for

A kickass girl who isn't ruined by Love.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Two Rainbow Skirts for the Price of None

Rainbow-skirt Hippy Girl
walking down the way
glittering with hues,
colors flashing like bangles janglin'

How she catches eyes –
leastways all the guys
turn to catch a glimpse
even those who "ain't into that kinky shit"

Whether her locks be Raven's fare
a golden tribute to all maids fair
scarlet, sinuous tresses for a sorcerer's dame
or any hue under the sun or over rainbows-
She tempts by what she is
as she weaves her course
through the crowd and all our lives

What aspect so inspires lust and longing?
as varied are they as her avatars to Man

there’s beauty,grace,truth, sure enough,
yet also there lurks within her presentation
passion, desire, the creative flame,
The ambrosia-poison of Freedom

She is all that we put into her
and yet so much more of her own
stuff, substance, manifest self
without the added fragility
of façade, fronts, or actress’ artifice

Now I've just got finals to get through and starting on the gallery-spelunking, dungeon-crawl elements of this and I'll be set. Sure, it'll probably only last for about a week, but it's set none the less...

Still have about 4 more days until I start due to the semester's end though...

Final List:

1. Una señorita dulce ~Patineitor

2. My friend who's learning guitar around one of the strongholds of acoustic guitars, ~hark-the-raven

And here's a couple of fine fillies from the state of my birth in both-

3. *TheJwo -Theatre-filled-

4. ~fhqwhgus -Macabre-flavoured varieties.

And a bonny-fine lass from across the pond who'll rock the socks off o' any lad who likes his lassies creamy to the tongue...

5. ~albinowiccanxfiler

Of course, what would it be if I left out the canuck chicas....

6. Well, ol' ~dukespirit would probably bonk me on the head with a Quebecois....

7. ~Cursed-Beauty47 Some kind of cursed canadian beauty I attracted through tormenting the next lassie-buck. What lassie-buck means, I dunno, it's probably a horrible corruption of a horrible corruption of some gaelic quip.

Of course, due to the nature and volume of my work, he knew better than to try and appraise it. ( [link] check out the peeps who did get featured though, spreading the love and all that jazz.)

FIRST 10 PEOPLE TO REPLY TO THIS JOURNAL GETS FEATURED ON HERE (a.k.a. I'll dive into your gallery and choose three of your best deviations (in my opinion) and post them up here

You have to put this in your journal if you choose to be one of the 10!

(Note: It will probably take a fair while for me to get through this, so it'll most likely be an ongoing thing.)

:Editu!: Well, Here's the line-up so far, it'll probably be an ongoing project to complete.

And what's best of all, I've got people from three continents and one from my home planet. We think.

And I'm waiting on confirmation from two people right now, one of whom I don't think will give it from the way she regards this exercise...

1. Una señorita dulce ~Patineitor

2. My friend who's learning guitar around one of the strongholds of acoustic guitars, ~hark-the-raven

And here's a couple of fine fillies from the state of my birth in both-

3. *TheJwo -Theatre-filled-
and-
4. ~fhqwhgus -Macabre-flavoured varieties.

And a bonny-fine lass from across the pond who'll rock the socks off o' any lad who likes his lassies creamy to the tongue...

5. ~albinowiccanxfiler

Of course, what would it be if I left out the canuck chicas....

6. Well, ol' ~dukespirit would probably bonk me on the head with a Quebecois....

7. ~Cursed-Beauty47 Some kind of cursed canadian beauty I attracted through tormenting the next lassie-buck. What lassie-buck means, I dunno, it's probably a horrible corruption of a horrible corruption of some gaelic quip.

Hope for the First Ten Win meme. Pray to whatever gods you hold sacred for it to win out. Because the alternative is a discussion of necking in a scholarly manner.

ganked from some kind of beautiful-ghost...

1. When you looked at yourself in the mirror today, what was the first thing you said?

'twas either... "Damn I need a shave..." or "ugehagargghuhlle... oh ****! Judging today!"

2. When is the next time you will make out?

Apparently this coming weekend, prossibly.

3. What's a word that rhymes with "LUCK"?

Muck, Duck, ****, Suck, Suck'n'****, ****'n'Suck, Buck, Uck, Canuck, Nunchuk,

4. What's your favorite planet?

Alpha Centauri IV... All because of Sid Meier....

5. Who's the 4th person on your missed calls list?

*rifles around for his cellphone, checks his coat* Yes, it took me awhile...

"Cara" from the top and "Jessica Cell" from the bottom.

6. What is your favourite ring tone on your phone?

Well, I wish it was either Darth Vader's "theme" or "White and Nerdy" for the obvious nerdalicious reasons. As it stands, it's the wonky thing that reminds me of the Castelvania series of video games...

7. What shirt are you wearing right now?

an unbuttoned "Haggar Forever New" dress shirt that is plaid with red inside the cross-hatch pattern and blue and white forming the cross-bars both vertically and horizontally. Yes, I had to unbutton the shirt to check that because I forgot what 'twas.

8. What do you "label" yourself as?

A Juan. or Johannes. or possibly demi-villain

9. Name the brand of shoes you're currently wearing?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAH-
*gasp*
-AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHHAHAHAHAHA!

Everyone knows that I'm so deeply outcast that I'd forgotten where my shoes came from long ago. That, and I'm wearing the **** shoes I wear to places like graveyards, elementary schools, and the mall so I don't ruin a perfectly good piece of footwear.

10. Bright or dark room?

Lit in the right way, por favore.

11. What do you think about the person who last took the survey last?

Emma is a bit of an odd duck, especially since she tried to fake me out when she switched accounts... That and we seem to have an uncanny ability to confuse eachother... Or maybe that's just the way my interactions with all canucks, or at least female canucks, pan out....

12. If you're alone in a room with two beds, which one do you sleep on?

I, uh, choose the one that doesn't have zombies hiding under it and isn't used to barricade the door against any zombies or other monsters busting into the room unannounced...

13. What were you doing at midnight last night?

Uhhh.... You don't wanna know.

14. What did your last text message you received on your mobile say?

lemme check... "I just haven't been inspired. Maybe my muse died."

15. What just so happens to be the best song in the world?

Worst, question, ever. Everyone knows that the best song in the world was played by Tenacious D when contesting against the Devil for their souls. And was subsequently lost. And so it has yet to surface again until ordinary rocking just isn't sufficient for the amount of rocking out that must be done...

Have another shendig of Woodstock calibre in the spiritual realm of rockery, and then we'll talk.

16. What's a word or phrase that you say a lot?

Burr? Inconceivable!

17. Who told you he/she loved you last?

Uhh............. my parents... I think.... Yeah, I still interact with them.... SO I HAVEN'T FOUND THE RIGHT TIME TO KILL THEM AND TAKE THEIR STRENGTH AS MY OWN, DON'T JUDGE ME MAN!

18. Last hairy thing you touched?

Hmm... Me? My Hair? Possum Pal Peat?

19. How many drugs have you done in the past 3 days?

let's see... Now if only I had an excerpt from Fear and Loathing in Los Vegas... as it stands you'll just have to make your own conclusions based upon this entry...

20. How many rolls of film do you need to get developed?

About... 3 I'd say...

21. Favorite age you have been so far?

Nunca

22. Your worst enemy?

Myself.

23. What is your current desktop picture?

this Link/Twilight Princess desktop by some or http://Coidzy.deviantart.com/journal/10862182/ Mon, 27 Nov 2006 17:04:25 PST
And now I'm finally blocked, and this by a lady who I had a habit of only visiting every two months or so to see what she'd been up to art-wise, and an odd journal. Heh.

I don't know whether to be insulted or honored that I hadn't even interacted with her for about two months before dA incorporated the block-feature and she still remembered me enough to make a point of doing it...

It's times like these I wonder what technique of mine it was that actually worked for offending or pissing a girl off...

Though it sure would be nice to figure out how to have the opposite effect on women. I mean, even if your SO is supposed to hate your guts and want you dead (at least some of the time anyway....).


Editu: Well, I can't remember properly the name of the first mentioned femme model. Some British fetish-glamour type is the most I can remember...

It'd be pretty far back if you wanted to see how I did it anyway... for both of 'em...

Though, to be honest, I'm a bit worried to tell anyone that much for fear of roving trolls just looking to try and annoy someone and make someone else look bad all in one go...

I'm also glad that only one person seems to have gotten any "ideas" after reading this journal entry... as far as I can tell anyway....

Though if you really must know, this ain't my only superpower...

I also cause street-lights to act wonky...

Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety...

And thusly I'm another year closer to a heart attack.

Hope you all had a better day of it than I.

Not that I had a bad one, I just can't get any work done and I missed my vote by one day.

Though Rumsfeld resigning was rather quirky-coincidental.

I found out during the last class of the day, right at the very beginning one of the girls came in all excited and told the teacher who almost laughed... and proceeded to announce it to all.

I predicted some contention in the Senate races and that the Democrats would take the House... in Ap Gov't, so I was right in that extent.

He draws his legs
down to stretch
his skin taut so
he feels every fingertip
its sroke along his,
his flank, his side,
his vulnerable, flung-
back neck and throat

Beagles are fickle though.

Rules:

*List 11 things you want to say to 11 different people.

*Don't say whom they pertain to.

*Feel free to comment, but don't confirm or answer anything.

*Never discuss it again.


1. It will offend, but I still must quote, Gone with the Wind, "You should be kissed and often and by someone who knows how," so that your Fraulein will become another's Frau.

2. If I could throw you down on the bed and make all your troubles go away while pleasing you in a myriad of ways, I would. But, you wouldn't let me if I could and I sure as hell can't, so why do you insist on being an agony aunt? Go out and get a freaking girlfriend already if men aren't human despite the similarities in etymology!

3. "No matter what a stripper says, there is no sex in the champagne room," and if you had any sense you'd stop trying to have sex in random back alleys!

4. I'd give you a man hug right now, sirrah, but I'm afraid I might injure you when my ribs cracked and splintered, so I'll just give you a salute with a fedoran hat.

5. Why, oh why do you keep coming back to bite me in the butt? I mean, sheesh! At least the other girl actually read the poetry and could use it against me, but the enigmat of your reaction and thoughts on it are still somehow applicable to a hamletian indecision! ....So I guess what I'm trying to say is... Would you mind terribly choosing between hitting me over the head with a shovel and skimming some of this doggerel?

6. What would you say if I said I found collaboration to be the kinkiest form of art?

7. If I memorized one of the great love monologues, performed it deft as jesu at carpentry (and with actual honesty), would that count for aught with you? O Post-modernistic divan'd lass.

8. So why hasn't anyone ever fermented chocolate and why can't we try and corner the market? it sounds like the micro-brewery would be an excellent cover, or proving ground, depending upon how you'd like to look at it.

9. I finally got my letter, so I must ask, were you afraid to open yours?

10. If I could find the ultimate in persuasive exhortation, I'd use enough to down the moon, and all for the selfless service of your submission to this contest. But, I've but a pittance of such skills, so I'll but play a fool and hopefully lock a memory withiin thy mind. Go west young lass, err, ladd, err, whatever it is when you're both genders! And smack Patricia Grodd up with some o' that Poetics you got right thar.

11. I saw a devillish lass wearing your guise, but a few days past... Wearing wings she was, and with such a gaze... It's a bit of a haze, but I'm confident to ask, how'd you so succinctly get from Massachusetts to here and back? ..... Or were you part of that olde english cloning programme too?

Curiouser and curiouser the world turns.

Hope y'all are doing well, despite the fact that the black wind howls.

I just discovered Herr Stoppard, the writer of the screenplay for Shakespeare in love and the creator of the play, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead. He incidentally pissed Hamlet to hell and back off when Hamlet found out about him making those two their own play. Pretty sweet stuff though, as I had a drama freshman girl try and yoink my copy. I managed to talk her down to just loaning it to her as I know most of her classes by location if not teacher and she's a member o' Lit Mag. It's rather amusing to loan a book when you've borrowed it off of a teacher yourself.

Ah well, I've always been rather foolhardy with my trust, but then... Gambles which seem sure one way or the (or at least like there won't be any... middle of the road outcomes), they seem to quickly let two people know about each other's character as far as future interactions. I just forgot what I was trying to mean.

And what kinda happenings are you unable to remember after crawling to consciousness after a night of sugar, debauchery, and women in strange costumes?

I'm about to depart as a pre-zombie herr doktor. And that's the extent of my plannning. A lab coat, and some accessories.

If I had had enough time and foresight, I could've made myself the scariest thing ever. A creationist scientist or creationist researcher... I'd've caused any science teachers that saw me to like, gasp and die.

And probably most of the local college's faculty...

But that'd probably be just from BO.

But I kid. Hope you all had a safe, yet debaucherous (or is it debaucherous but safe) night out or in or in and out!

How I hate self-esteem, that lousy demon.

Who's the bigger foe of human-ity
is demon Ignorance or his servant
Self-Esteem, what a bitch she is,
all the time spent being a twice-stinging
thorn in the sides of heterosexual boys

Cuz if you have to kill her to just ask a girl out
and then she thwarts you by fooling the one you want
into thinking all she can do is whore herself out
in order to get attention and value

So you're struck a dumbfounding blow,
sunk to the floor thanks to that
snivelling little sister of Pride

What can you do when you can't
even communicate that the demon
it too can die
and all your tears could dry
before she'd notice one thousand more

And then Ignorance calls in his cards
shows a forged painting of future lives
causing misanthropic growths to latch
onto the souls of boys and girls

and just a little bit more spice
and just a little more vice to the stew
and you've got the perfect situation
to damn a soul,

"oh oh oh, how did you know?"
his succubus whore would say
whenever a new baublous thing
he'd bring from his harvested gore

And so I pray that when Shiva finishes
his dance once more
and fire takes our world and burns it clean

that after Ignorance's brains
grace his heel, he'd turn
his attention to that succubusing whore

I've tinkered with this poem, "A Mug's Lust," aka "Poetic Lust, Indeed;" "A Muffiny Lust, Indeed" so many times in the past periods of consciousness. Rather crazy. I've added a lot to it, to the point where I feel a bit dizzy when I try and process it.

Argh! Not to mention the fact that part of revision is also to cut and shorten. I really need to start mastering that part of the art of revising...

In other news, I revised "Open Oasis of Spirit and Truth" Open Oasis of Truth as dA can allow the title to be there

I did this as part of the writing portfolio requirement for english, either a literary or personal piece, and this was technically both once. I'd started revising it anyway before we were told to bring in the piece as we were starting to gear up for putting out portfolios together in earnest.

What's fun is that the people who set the requirements for what goes into the portfolio haven't released what the new numbers and types of required pieces ARE. Bloody Educational bureacrats.

I haven't uploaded the revision yet, but I will fairly soon, I think.

I'm just deciding whether I'll scrap the current deviation and submit the newest revision after I complete it, or replace the current deviation's writing with the current completed revision and then decide later what to do about the revision I'm doing for this coming tuesday's due-date....

Found that little nugget while I was looking for discussion and thoughts on the nature and modus operandi of critique. It was taken from the statement in answer to the 2nd "question," in the "FAQ."

Too often have I been guilty of shirking the real duty of refinement and scurrying on like a mindless, impulsive creator god. Y'know, the kind of creator diety who never gets mentioned again because it leaves the cosmology to go and make more and more creatures and creations until it loves its divinity and so on...

Okay, so it's a bit ominous to think so darkly of what usually is a fun romp, or at least cathartic, but the inner granule of truth there does remain, at least in my personal case, nonetheless.

Sure, I edit a small amount just in the act of typing up the poem if it's hand-written, and I'll mess around with it before archiving or submitting it, depending upon what feeling I'm getting from it...

God though, I really want to understand the thought-process, the nature, the mentality of it... Very strange, but for some strange reason I feel like I should be giving back. To whom, I don't really know. Giving back what exactly, no idea about that. Still, it's a very curious and persuasive compulsion, this feeling that I need to give something back to others.

Probably more an aspect of my personality than any universal truth though... Turning that back to the literary arena, I think I can appreciate, or possibly even understand, the fact that I feel silly whenever I go back and read a Dungeons and Dragons reference in a piece of poetry.

Indeed. Their substance just doesn't click with me, the writer-creator whose mind brought forth the reference, so why would they click with anyone else?

In other news... I've found a writing group. Now to just try and find a time where we're not feeling physiologically hyper. Or get Ned to put his Muses to work at explaining what the hell is the cause of his good behaviour...

Being alone to the point where I can sing my own sighing song to life, the greatest quest of it or should I just say sex and be quick about it?

But yeah, having to fill the barren noiseless space of my silent retreats and walks always comes up with something which could be refined later. I've been slacking off in recording it after I came to a writing outlet from the walks though, I came up with several of my "better" or more liked pieces in this way...

I also got inspired for my one-time statement of Poetic Purpose (an actual poem mind ye) by the fact that I was inspired to write some thoughts and poetics down in reaction to this interplay of people and a play I was watching that were happening more or less simultaneously but also concurrently(that is a word for back-to-back, right?)

I've been guilty in the past of writing merely because something someone said or did angered me greatly or I was roused to ire or shame or sadness by women for being male and heterosexual. So, basically angst and the pursuit of the opposite sex, which go hand in hand...

I've done a small bit of nature writing, I enjoy it, but I don't really like writing it because there's no real action unless I create a "character" out of the perspective of the writing and it becomes more of a titillization of the reader's mental sense and imagery...

So, Angst, Women, Trying to Date Women, Actually dating women, Nature, the state of the world as I see it, current events on a very, very localized scale, Anger, and trying to work out problems and paradoxes verbally by speaking at them and recording it later from time to time...

Though I am also guilty of having written many things while under the influence of music or at least a tune in my head...

This is incomplete but this is my semi-immediate off-the-cuff answer to that question of, "What the heck inspires this crazy guy!?" and it makes a better journal to first see than any of my last few... ]]> ~Coidzy
