I’m the only one subscribed to my Feed,
refreshing it every day.
Flickring my life away,
Facing the books on my life’s shelf.
Trying to make the connection,
P2P through the city.
Networking the network,
wardriving through the neighborhood.
Hexadecimal dreams,
with 128-bit encryption.
Don’t ASCII how I’m doing,
I’m still working on my character. [...] 
slinking shoes
over stairs
hushed conversation
burning ears
asked me to see it your way
but you’re blind
like a paraplegic priest
talking with his hands
we’ve gone over this
and over this
coming over isn’t the same
and I think I’m over. [...] It’s cold in STL
and you’re around…
I’m broken down in the middle of the road.
I’m blocking traffic; it’s no big deal.
I thought once I could fall,
while trying to run.
You came up and tripped me,
proving me right.
I’m on the side of the road now.

I’m living on pennies.
Kennedy takes up too much space.
Squandering my life, living in this copper place.
Haven’t enough to live
Too poor to die
I’ve slept in the soup kitchens.
Stole a spoon
but what for?
Stainless steel is cold, sterile and hard.
I’ve walked fifth avenue
Saks won’t have me.

Here’s some poetry I wrote in a notebook that I just found. Must have wrote it back in 2005. (Hey, it’s the Internet. The Internet was made for poetry.)
——
You’re nothing but a parking lot poet,
yelling at empty spaces.
A blue-light special romantic.
Thinking every special is just for you.

I do a bit of driving. Almost everyday I get in my car and go somewhere.
I’ve noticed a lot of ribbons. There’s a ribbon for every cause, every disease, everything.
I wonder if the people who have more than one ribbon (usually for supporting the troops) really think they are more [...]
I have a Tivoli Model-One radio in my computer room. I keep it constantly tuned to classical music and I leave it on 24 hours.
There’s something calming and nice about classical music. Eases the mind. It’s very soothing when I can hear it at 3 a.m. when I get [...]
Trouser Snake On A Stage | MetaFilter
I have a theory that liking the Doors is a rite of passage in Western culture, and one that most people pass through sometime in their late teens or early twenties, never to return to.
I must agree. I went through a Doors phase [...]

My Child’s Pack - Affordable self defense for children
You know, this just may be the 21st Century’s “duck and cover.”
Of course, I’ll just be sending my child to school previously trained with hand grenades and potato mashers. That little backpack can’t stop all that shrapnel.
Seriously, I love it [...]

I gave my first interview today. It’s odd being on the other side of the table. Asking questions, listening, trying to feel the other person out.
