message from the land of pain

I have a message from the land of pain.  I night-traveled there.  My back has been hurting, on the right side, parallel to my spine.  Then sometimes a lot more hurts than that.  I mean more parts of my back, and other parts of my body.  My muscles get so ouched, I don’t know what… Read More »

addict’s prayer

Hey, I have been making more poetry memes.  This new one “addict’s prayer” is a favorite.  Mother God, please heal my fucked reward pathway. They’re very meaningful to me, but I get the feeling nobody cares.  Well, probably like four people care.  That’s cool. I wrote a full on addict‘s prayer poem last night, crying… Read More »

monk

I found this guy on youtube who is a Buddhist monk who does covers.  I heard “Thuderstruck” first, and I love what he’s doing. https://youtu.be/MNgIHT65hC4 My first listen, I didn’t even understand he was saying Thunderstruck.  It was fun, the second hearing, to realize his Sunderstruck was Thunderstruck.  I didn’t know the ACDC song. Then… Read More »

resting bitch face

Hey, I’ve been working on my resting bitch face.  That means actually I’m working on the idea that I’m allowed to walk into the world for a purpose other than taking care of everyone else’s whims.  I can walk into the world to see trees, get sunshine, run an errand, and the responsibility of the… Read More »

chin

“I dropped my computer on my chin,” I told Ming. “Aw!” he said. “Will you feel sorry for me?” “I feel sorry for you,” he said. “Writing injury!” I said, touching my chin. “I think I’m ok.  What’s a chin for, anyway?  To look cute?  To hold my jaw on?” Ming mumbled something in the… Read More »
