sin like a madman until you can't do anything else
no room for any more

don't hesitate get laid that's wisdom

but poems flare in my heart

I just wanted to say that I did read your blog today, but evidently, you're slacking, because you haven't posted since Monday. A-boooo. I promise to really check out the site in depth, as I'm inundated with work right now, but for the record, let me say that I'm incredibly distrustful of any meditative art with only three letters. More insights and witticisms in the coming days, I promise...
Hi Landan.
Do your homework.
I can't force the blogging--got to wait til the blog muse descends again. Plus, I'm giving finals, gimme a break. Be ZEN about it. What's your email?
Hi. What, you're giving out orders now? Wow. Just to placate you, my email is zenlunatic1581@hotmail.com.
By the way, I've met the blog muse-kind of an asshole. He's this androgynous fellow that you can tell is incredibly uncomfortable with his sexuality, and he always tries to hit me up for change. Oh and he loves sesame bagels. Don't get involved-for serious.
I came across this piece this morning, but I'm hesitant to include the link, for fear of blog universes colliding. What the hell, I'll see your crypotmnesia, and raise you a Vonnegut.

This blog stuff is addicting. I can't help myself. I have one more name you should add to your "music" column--Richard Buckner. He's out of Austin, I think. Do you know him? He's unreal. No, no, he's scrumtralescent.
Ok, enough--time to explicate Gregory Corso.
scrumtalescent!
What music column?
I love RB and sent you an email about this.
