Slam Diary - 2-27-09 - Nuyorican Friday Slam
Last night myself and one of my very favorite poets on earth (Tracy Soren) got to slam against one another for a spot in the Nuyorican Seminfinals. This was unfortunate for the other two great poets who joined us in the slam, cus Tracy and I were just not walking out of there without a berth in semis. (well, at least one of us.) While the final score between us was about a point difference, the...

Fun!
Enter any city on the globe. Pick a type of nuclear weapon. And nuke it.
Lynchburg doesn’t know what just hit it!
Inspirational Pizza OR Inefficient Advertising?
Stopped by the office today to do some things, my coworkers had ordered pizza. I look down at the box and see THIS on it.
Yeah, that’s an advertisement for an AB-ROCKET excersize machine…on a pizza. So, after wolfing down this meat-lover’s special, tear off the coupon on the empty, greased-up box and send it in for a discount off the equipment you need to work off the ten...
The Poems Never Stop
What a day of archival material. This poem was written a few years ago and subsequently lost. I love it.
It’s for my grandmother.
I Am Not Your Child
Oh! You, the saddest of creatures hath confused me for thy child.
Would that I were for but one moment in thy womb –
Close enough to thy heart
To reach through the muck and crush it
Squeeze every last drop from that yellowed knot
In my first,...
The Pole
So…
I had mentioned I have been looking into old email folders, drafts etc. Recently found my way into a hotmail account that’s been long neglected and found emails dating from about six years ago. The first time I was ever “published” was in a journal in the UK in 2003. This was the poem.
Not really that good at all, but it was the first time i got paid for a poem.

Workshop Poem On "Home"
This poem was written during a workshop @ Dartmouth College prior to a gig there three weeks ago. It sucks but i found it in the bag I took to the show this morning and I’m posting it here. It was about ‘home’. So this is about my second home, New Paltz.
Little village - pushed into the mountains
like the imprint of god’s pinky toe departing
On his genesis walk.

Peter Loves Jesus
Continuing on my theme of Catholic insanity:
Outside of class today, smoking a ciggarette and attempting not to openly laugh and point at dirty-faced Christian darlings - and was approached by Peter.
Peter had an indeterminate European accent. He rolled up on me in a very straighforward manner, black smudge on his head in all it’s glory - and tells me that “Jesus loves you!!”

Ass Wednesday
There’s no day on the Christan calendar more ridiculous than Ash Wednesday. It is my favorite of the catholic holidays, because it is nothing but constant hilarity. All day long I get to laugh, chuckle, giggle, and snicker.
Really??
Oh now THAT is a testament to faith. I’m overwhelmed with joy today. Truly. I’m gonna put my fingers in some dirt and right the word...

Sierra DeMulder. Affectionately known to me as “Sugartits” is one of my favorite people alive. I won’t even go into how remarkable of a mind she is, because in all seriousness - the above link is more than testament enough to her gifts.
I don’t need to give this woman props. She’s that special.
Drafts
Spent the last few minutes going through the DRAFTS folder in my gmail. Pretty remarkable insight into my own hesistancy. All the emails unsent, some of them damned long that for whatever reason I neglected to pull the trigger on.
There’s gotta be a psychoanalytic approach to why these sit unsent. I’m not sure what Sigmund would say. But I’m sure it would end with...

Tropicana finaly bowed to pressure from brianomnidillon.com and switched back to the old carton design/logo.
It was about time. Thank you to me.
Slam Diary - 2009 Regionals @ SUNY Geneseo
Ahhh. Regionals. The biggest day on the slam calendar for collegiate poets in new york. While the National Championships are often bigger and longer and crazier, for poets in the SUNY system, regionals is the peak of the shit-talk season. It’s a day where bragging rights are settled for the coming year and one school gets to call themselves champ.
A refresher course:
This was the seventh...

Dia Insults A Cartoon About A Breakfast Machine →
Dia is a brilliant poet/performer/person from the Oneonta system who I’ve gotten to know alot better in the last year. His blog is spectacular and should be required reading for people new to the blogosphere.
But when he actually attempted to review the film “Brave Little Toaster” I came to the conclusion he’s my actual favorite person at the present. While I don’t...
Nationality
It was recently made clear to me by some of my teammates that they only in the past year or so came to the conclusion that I was in fact - not a Latino male.
I would be lying if i said this was the first time I’ve seen people make this mistake. I’ve been approached on many occassions by Spanish speaking people in public places who assume I speak the language. I know a little, enough...
Dear Islander Fan In Section 347
Bear with me here folks…
So, I’m at the Ranger-Islander game last night. For those of you who do not know this about me, the absolutely single-most important thing to me outside of the stuff I do with my brain is New York Rangers hockey. It is something I take more seriously than I should, but that’s called being a fan, and I’m OK with the base lunacy involved in this...
The Football Poem
This is not misogynistic at all. Tongue in cheek people. Tongue in cheek. Its still very rough and will change, but i love it so much here it is

This brilliant artISTE. Alex CF does some of the coolest little projects I’ve ever seen. Stuffed Chesire Cat:
Yes…that Chesire Cat. Even gives a “story” about where the “specimen” came from. So cool. I’m going home later, getting stoned and reading this website in it’s entirety.

“Pitiful creature of darkness, what kind of life have you known? God give me...”
– Christine Daae (Phantom Of The Opera)
I was weeping openly in a theatre last night at this. Cannot express my feelings on what I saw/heard/felt.
fucking intense.
Moved.
PHANTOM: Down once more to the dungeon of my black despair! Down we plunge to the prison of my mind! Down that path into darkness deep as hell! Why, you ask, was I bound and chained to this cold and dismal place? Not for any mortal sin, but the wickedness of my abhorrent face! MOB: Track down this murderer! He must be found! Track down this murderer! He must be found! PHANTOM: Hounded out by...

Quotes To Live By (And Possibly Offend)
When a man is freed of religion, he has a better chance to live a normal and wholesome life. - Sigmund Freud
I still say a church steeple with a lightning rod on top shows a lack of confidence. - Doug McLeod
The fact that a believer is happier than a sceptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous...
