California is a morally bankrupt wasteland. Novel...
We’ve arrived in San Diego after spending the last eight days making our way through California, ten shows in eight days is quite the fucking drain and tonight will be number eleven. After this one its back on the 15 and on towards Vegas where a few old friends and a desperately needed rest await. We’ve been on the road somewhere around three months now and I feel more disgusting than ever....

This is how relationships work
I am angry with you but I am not going to tell you why. Instead I will just be mostly unresponsive and at times flat out mean to you when you try to talk to me. Once you realize that I am angry and you begin your attempts to figure out why I will refuse to discuss it in a civil and mature manner, I will instead respond with sarcastic and rude remarks. The problem is that I am feeling unwanted....
Why are all your self published books so huge and...
Put some effort into it.
ALSO
I’m not paying for a book that has been stapled together.
Also
stop wasting so much paper.

I am much too good looking to be this poor.
Dragged out, face down.
Sleep from sun up to sun down
Living a life far too loud.
I am destined for so much more.
Nights spent wasted
Wasting away
All my best memories are a drunken haze
Frequent black outs are a sign of
Alcoholism.
Last chance for romance
But I don’t want it
I just wanna dance.
No responsibilities
No regrets
Cheap whiskey and cheaper cigarettes.
Eventually...

The Prince of Party is killing me
If you have to do it to feel normal It is no longer a hobby but an addiction When you realize you no longer enjoy the way you act but don’t stop acting You’ve become typecast and its time to move on Dont turn yourself into Mark Hamill A one trick pony who peaked too early I take a few drinks before I leave the house to keep my hands from shaking I adjust the bandannas in my back pocket Slip into...

Natural Selection
The day had turned from bright and breezy to dark and dreary as Jason made his way further up the mountain. The higher he climbed the denser the trees seemed to grow, to the point where he could barely make out the sun above him. The rays of light struggled to break through the canopy and what little managed to reach the forest floor wasn’t doing much to light his path. He had set out a bit...
Sometimes I read things that I wrote a few months...
And I can’t figure out where they came from. I can’t figure out what inspired some of these things.
But as I am reading them, there is always one recurring thought.
God damn, I am a great fucking writer.

It never feels as good the second time
The apprehension, the curiosity, the adrenaline, the anticipation.
The building and building excitement that starts deep inside of you and slowly takes over your entire body until you feel it oozing out of your every pore, shaking your body from fingers to toes, clouding your judgement and blurring your thoughts.
Your heart beats steadily but stronger than normal, then frantic and rampant then...

What horrors have you unleashed
All the magic in the world can not rewrite history. All the love in your heart can not save you from the truth. All the joy in the laughter of all the small children playing the favorite games of their youth can not bring back what they have taken from you.
There will be no absolution.
A time will come in the very near future when you have a chance to make a stand, you will be given a choice. ...

I want to create a new world
I want to start a revolution. I will use my voice to incite the change I think necessary. I will use my words to fill the hearts of all the lonely lovers and long lost friends. I will create a world in which we all live on love.
Though one must wonder, with a new world and all the problems of the old solved, is it a blissful paradise we will find or will it simply lead to new problems?
I want...

To talk about all the big events coming up in the next couple of months.

To create an escape
Does anything really have to end? Or can we simply pause life and exist between those frozen moments. Are we free to live as if no one else matters? You and I existing in the stolen seconds that others never live. Your smile will freeze time and I will live inside your eyes as long as you promise not to blink me away. I’ve survived this long on interior monologue, narrating my life...

Define:Crush
Do you feel an unexplainable yet significant attachment or longing? Do you feel a weight that sets upon your chest and rests in your lungs? A sudden heaviness of the heart, a contortion of the stomach? Or is it the understanding of a risk to be left flat and lifeless, wanting that which so recently had inflated you allowing you to float without restraint?

Deus Ex Machina
It is a strange feeling, to be listening but not hearing. The lips move but the only sounds are those in my own head. My own thoughts were always more important than what others had to say and never would they stray too far from her. Lost in memories, recollections, hopes we had shared. There is an art to losing ones self inside the past, avoiding the future and putting off the present....

Is it true that artists benefit more from shows than from record sales?
Absolutely. The vast majority of bands with record deals, independent or major, see very little money from record sales. On average, if a CD costs 15 dollars, the band might see 25 cents per sale. Bands also have to pay back almost all money they get from labels for recording...

Lost in necropolis
Thick with dread
the air surrounds us
Wading through the frigid night we venture
onward and upward in search of hope
hope for a way home.
The wind howls and demons scream
From atop a distant mountain an evil eye gleams
The tension is obvious
The morbid fear is suffocating
Dead arms rise from graves
catching boot heels and ankles
threatening to pull us into the abyss
Do not look...

I know why so many people are afraid to die

Too many naked teenagers
This isn’t punk rock
its a god damn fashion scene
and these days glamour is a disease
but we’re all sharing needles
so say goodbye to exclusivity
tight jeans and short skirts
long hair and false words.
Skip the line and show me what you’ve got
Forget the front door
meet me in the parking lot
We’re all on the list
No one paid.
And no one plays
We just all...

The contents of my bookshelf tell me that you are...
The contents of your brain tell me that you are not a thinker
The contents of your heart tell me that you are not a lover
The contents of your guts tell me that you are not a fighter.
What does the invisible man see when he looks in the mirror?
A fraud.

This world is nothing more than a vacant grave
Aching to be filled.
So grab your shovels and start digging.
We have to fill the holes before we fall in
watch your step

You’re in

Sometimes I sit here
Staring but not really seeing
I am most certainly living but hardly breathing
My mind is twisting and turning
But I’m not thinking and I am certainly not learning
My creativity is not persisting
I am not creating I am just existing
I am focused on nothing of significance
My mind is not aware of its potential magnificence
because in this moment of moments
I have but one task...

She had always wondered
As she lay in bed examining her thoughts only one seemed to cut through the mess and stress of a long week. It was desire. Her desire for him. The one she wouldn’t let herself have. He was crass, vulgar, aggressive, cocky and antagonistic.
She was shy, gentle, reserved, passive and polite.
But she couldn’t help the way she felt. She couldn’t stop his face from popping into her mind. And...

Pardon my lack of pretense
Please forgive my penchant for purity.
I have always preferred to allow plain passion to speak without attempts at profound pontificating.
I need not grand illusions nor elaborate deceptions
but simply an idea
a feeling
a hope
And though my talents would allow me to say I love you in a million different ways
There is much truth to be found in the old adage
A rose by any other name would...

A death sentence
I’ve been sitting here for the past ten minutes or so; letting my eyes wander around the room in search of some sort of inspiration
a metaphor perhaps
Something to get my fingers working and to put words to the page
But perhaps my lack of motivation is the best metaphor to use
I’m out of ideas
I’ve painted myself into a corner
I’m at the end of my rope

I wish I could explain to you
How terribly fucked up and strange my life actually is.
Sometimes I feel as if I am running out of time.
I don’t feel any closer to achieving any of the dreams I’ve spent so long chasing.
Sometimes I think I’ve accomplished nothing.
I don’t fit into the mold society requires of me.
I don’t know if I will ever be able to live a normal life.
I am almost certain...
I saw a church sign last night that read
Abortions were legal under Hitler, unless it was a perfect Aryan baby. Think about it.
What the fuck is that even supposed to mean?
If you get an abortion you’re a nazi?
If you find out your child will be born with birth defects and thus get an abortion, you’re a nazi?
Church people are fucked up.
I feel really bad for people who think tumblr is...
Or the type of people who say things like

Haha. Some dumb broad on Facebook just deleted me
She posted
“If she isn’t watching Jersey Shore, shes too young for you bro”
to which I responded
If she is watching Jersey Shore, shes too dumb for me.

Typewriter Erotica Part Seven
He came to on the bathroom floor, his head throbbing and his mouth dry. The room smelled of vomit and blood. He staggered to his feet and turned on the faucet, the water spit and sputtered and ran slightly brown. It was a familiar sight but this morning it turned his stomach like never before. He turned and puked into the trashcan between the sink and toilet. It felt as if his insides were on...

I wish things were not as they are
But they are how they are
and we are who we are
and if we’re being entirely honest
We both knew it couldn’t last.
So please take off your smile and speak to me true
I do not require your softness
I am not in awe of you.
Life is long enough to at least learn a few lessons
And I hope I taught you well.
If you take anything from me
let it be this
The world is a vampire

I am not so callous after all
The winter chill has invaded my body and settled in my bones
My defenses were not strong enough and like a conquering hero
frost has traveled up my veins as if on boats by sea
I have no fight left
and I surrender to the storm
like a calm
which has overtaken me
I am at peace in my knowledge of loneliness
Knowing enough to know I am truly alone
I wish for a fire to warm my hands
For a...

I can't write poetry these days
Perhaps it is because I keep trying
I tell myself
“Today you will write a poem”
But I haven’t a clue as to what I will say.
Maybe I should give up poetry
and stick to horror and fantasy
My mind is filled with terrible things
and I am always seeking an escape
So the genres seem fitting.
