Killing for Sport

What else would you call it when the bodies fall everyday and all the time. Take Omaha for instance. It's only spring and the shootings are heating up. Bang bang your dead! How you like me now, that's what they are thinking. Or are they thinking at all? Killing their own people. Think back to the Indians of this country. Seperate tribes taking eachother out like it was a sport. Imagine if they were one big tribe, organized and calculating like some are to this day. Do you really think we would be here now? I don't think so. Look at them out there killing all they see, sometimes just for fun, like a dictators army. Imagine if they all band together? Things would go crazy and they would really be killing for sport then. Popping of the white folks like running targets. Serial killers, all of them! Anyone that kills many, no matter who they are, it makes them a serial killer. No wonder this country is in love with death and murder. It would be a little different if life was more like a movie and you know it! Until next time.

Is poetry dead in America

This is a true story. I walked into a place called Blue Ridge bookstore in Wytheville, Virginia. I just moved into town and I wanted to check out what they had. I said hi to the guy behind the counter as I walked in. Just looking around at first and that's when it dawned on me that I didn't see any poetry books. I turned and asked the man, " Where is your poetry section? " He pointed and said, " It's right next to you." I looked and it was the end of the shelf, with three small boards boxed in. At the maximum, it would fit about thirty paperbacks, and there were six books. I walked up to the counter and asked, " Where are all your poetry books? " He replied, " Don't you know poetry is dead in America? " I looked him right in the eye and told him, " Your wrong mister, they just haven't read anything good lately. The world was bread on great poetry and Shakespear most of all, is still entertaining us to this day. His plays are done in schools every year and all over the world. So no, poetry is not dead in this country or any place else. Most regular folks don't read it and that's because either they don't understand it or it's just plain boring. That's exactly why I am going to come out with a book of poetry they can relate to. That's the kind of thing that could pump it back into the mainstream of society. " He looked at me for a few seconds, shook his head and said this, " Your right you know, I just never thought about that way before. " Then I said goodbye and walked out. No matter what happens in the next two hundred years, poetry will always be apart of this country and the world. That is one of the reasons I added some of my poetry to my first book, " I Could Be Killing You " So everyone that reads it, will be reading poetry and that is just the first step towards putting my poetry book out into all their hands. If I'm lucky, I can get a whole new crowd reading poetry and not because someone forces it on them. It will be because they can relate, it's not boring them to death and they understand why they are enjoying it. I hope you all think about that, and until next time.

The future is bright

A few additions back, I wondered if the masses were listening. Well I know they are now. I put a hit counter on my blog, down at the bottom. It has been there only a few days and it's up to 60 hits. I also have been chosen to recieve an award tomorrow for a poem I entered for The Bull Riding Classic. I will find out if I am the big winner while I am on stage. It's nice to have my work recognized by others like that. It is just the beginning for me and when my book finally gets to spring forth, all of America will come to know me. Maybe even seek me out on Facebook. If everything goes as planned, tomorrow I will let them know I will be at Fremont days this summer with my book for sale. I plan to sign every book I sell and I don't think anyone else has ever done that. Of course at book signings, but my plan is to get it done by a book printer and sell every copy myself. That's how I could pull that off. Either way, the future looks bright for me and my writing. I have so many now that have been waiting for my book, and all I want to do is get it out to them. The word of mouth alone, will help me propell toward the best sellers list. That and a great book review from the New York Times. I'm more than confident that a good portion of the world will love my book and all the rest to come. It would be great to be the big winner, but I would rather have my book circling the world. Good things come to those who wait, great things come to those who put in the work. I just hope the world is ready for me. Well until next time.

Breaking the Spirit

I have had it with the black hole we call the publishing world! Talk about chicken shit's when it comes to anything new. New book and new writer, forget about it. They don't want to touch you and they sure don't feel they have to. But let someone like King, he can throw a book about a lamp monster at them and they will still publish it. It's crap with no kind of originality to it! Come on, our you all that blind? That you buy a book just because of the Authors name? It is an insult to every reader, every book just thrown together so they can make a profit. There is no pride or talent involved in the big book game. Sure, every once in a while they put out a good book, but it is far and few between all the crap hittting the streets. I don't know about you, but if I owned a publishing company, I would want to check out the fresh talent out there. Not just the same old crap. People want books to read, and they are starved for a little originality. I know it's out there and my book, " I Could Be Killing you " is just the start of what they are looking for. They may think the people out there are stupid, but we are not! We need to start showing them that, by not buying all those books out there, that just plain suck. I am sure you all know what I am talking about. That long winded, plot going no where, with characters you can't even identify with. The kind of book you force yourself to finish. It doesn't have to be that way any more. Choose more wisely and take your time. It's not who you read, it's what you read. Think about that, the next time your standing there looking for something to read. Well until next time.

The Fools of April

Look out, duck and anything else you have to on this one day each year. Waking up with the door handles covered in vasoline or the toliet wrapped in saran wrap. My family always goes all out to get eachother, especially my wife and myself. One year I made her think I had a heart attack. She loves it and is always looking for better ways to get me. I hope you all have a great day and see how many fools of April you run into on this fine spring day. Go get them all! Well until next time.
