Unnerving and Thrilling, but Mostly Unnerving
Dudes! When I google myself I have over 800 entries that are completely and utterly me.
None of them are british porn stars. Some of them are Roy, but whatever. One of them has something to do with my brother, and/or some geneology whatzit.
I find it unnerving (because some of the really old things on there are embarassing), but also kinda legitimizing. Somehow. Now, if only I could get a job/book/life?
Today I factored how much money I make per student: 125 bucks/per for 15 weeks of work. That seems lame. I frown on it.
Also, I am busy. I don't like that either.
Someone should pay me to sit around and ponder. Or better yet, I've been looking for a grant that will help me take a few weeks to go all Neal Cassady and follow the highway and be the unsung hero of my own poems.
I could be a lothario. I'm sure of it.
Lastly, since we just watched "HOWL" (a film about the Ferlinghetti obscenity trials...totally good, but full of cartoon dingus), I would like to say this in regards to Arkansas:
1. I love the idea of an hallucinated Arkansas more than I love the idea of a literal Arkansas.
2. I will never not pronounce it phonetically, as Ar-Kansas.
3. I like the idea of hotsprings, but I want them outside, not accompanied by a fully-relaxing spa experience.
Now I have to go to a poetry reading.
Bizzam!
