My real name is Mark. I live in Tampa, Florida USA. Clinically insane, I collect a money check from the government. I write a bit of everything: poetry, short stories, novels, music, summaries, etc. I like to use excessively long and unheard of adjectives, knowing my editors will cut them - To make sure they are staying busy.

Ugh fail. 'They' refers to said adjectives, not to said editors. Whatever, they will come and fix it. :]

i'm a street musician. i was born in 1969 in travelling from east to west to east to west i became a sort of super commuter, i like to stay in towns and squat for a while, meet people get used to it and keep travelling.
the music i play doesn't sound like the music i like to listen to, black flag primus rain sticks inverted drums beastie boys bjork the kinks
a lot of stuff that starts with "b" i like being old because people think i am supposed to be dead, or not to sincerely like the things that i like. i remember protests in punk scenes from the eighties like it was yesterday. i remember an MTV that many people today would never believe existed.
i love astrology and mystic, occult,esoteric things. oh, yeah, and eye won uh spelling be wants.
i got so mad in boulder in 2009 at kids who were IMITATING the Beats with turtlenecks and fingersnapping, but they obviously hadn't READ the Beats, that i wrote a chapbook entitled 'smell my guts' that i will put out in zine form maybe in july.
i like writing with a pen or pencil on paper. the writers matter to me. hunter s. thompson, ursula k. leguin, samuel r. delany, r. buckminister fuller, yukio mishima, douglas adams, peter throckmorton, Bob Dobbs and definitely art history, i LOVE it, the actual history of what was going on between Blavatsky and Mondriaan, what led Gaugain to travel to the south sea islands, why Picasso was such a pig towards his life, why the Beats didn't go farther with their vision and why their message go co-opted, the fallings out between Breton and Dali that led to the stagnation of Dada as a social scene and the birth and distinction of Surrealism, those things really mean something to me.
and the movie Gothic about the party with Lord Byron and the Shelleys where they all consumed absinthe and freaked out? that is what moves me. that and a nice hot cup of coffee.
i have --not-- been featured at vampirefreaks. com or deadjournal or secondshifters.

So my name is Amber and I live in Texas. I never really had a turning point in my life when I started loving poetry, I just always did it. I found that it was easier to write about death and destruction in my poems and short stories, which caused some disturbance throughout school, and is the reason that I joined this forum. Poetry is more of a hobby rather than anything else. I think that it would be cool for others to read my poetry, and it makes it easier knowing that (no offense) strangers will be reading this rather than people I go to school with. I'm looking forward to posting to this forum, and reading everyone else's post!

My name is Rodney. I reside in my own personal hell in the state of Tennessee in the United States of America. I'm a constantly evolving and oft-relapsing addict who is constantly on a journey towards understanding and permanent recovery. I've always had a love, a fetish if you will, for words and the feelings and images that they can portray. I used to MUD when I was younger (That's a video game that's based solely on text for the uninformed) if that tells you anything about my love of words. I've spent many-a, many-a hour/day/year inside of a county jail/prison cell. I've had mad scribblings on paper for years now, things that got flushed on my way out the jailhouse door and forgotten twice as quickly. But this last time around, I found myself covered over in thought, and my only way of expressing these thoughts aloud was to write them down. Something clicked, and I tried harder than ever before to put deeper meaning into the things I transferred onto paper. You'll see some of those results on here, and I hope they can maybe mean a shade of what they mean to me, to you. This is so therapeutic for me, I've been sober for a month of free time now (I don't include the time in incarceration, because that's easy) and I'd like to think that every minute of that is due to my new found ability to express myself in a manner that doesn't involve a needle or aluminum foil. Good to meet you all.

Hi welcome to the forum, I was raised in Tennessee, it can be a pretty dull place, depending on where you are at, I spent most of my youth in Lynchburg and spent a few years in nashville and in chattanooga. I have always had a passion for caving and I love the caves and the mountains, nothing boring about almost dying in a cave right? ^^ I'm glad to see that you are recovering well from your problem, I was a big-time meth addict when i lived in TN and that shit is everywhere up there, and I ended up having to undergo rehab or go to jail for a long time. I went to rehab and got cleaned up, but here's the kicker, I started drinking really heavily as a crutch for the not having drugs, and I suppose I was genetically predisposed to alcoholism because, to me, alcohol is the most addictive substance on earth, I have been clean of drugs for 10 years but off again on again alcoholic, and alcohol has basically ruined my life. Whatever works for you is good like NA or methadone or whatever but dont go to alcohol it's a powerful substance to a mind weakened from a drug addiction.

Hello,
Well time to sound stupid right? Hey, what's up I used to be a part of this board a long time ago when Light star was around too! About myself, I love to write, have philosophical and/or logical conversations, and am very real. I am trying to start to write a novel series. I write music (symphonic metal), and for the most part a depressed loner..unfortunately. I hate wearing masks (metaphorically) but I understand its what is needed to survive. Lost someone very close to me recently, so rebuilding myself to adapt to....a new life without them in it. I decided to come back to here, cause people on facebook...yeahh...about thaat....im good. I am just trying to breathe in a world that rejects me....and the feeling is mutual. I talk about humanity a lot so ill probably be in the darkness and melancholia sections often. And tend to lose myself in imaginative things like music, and anime....lol. I think that's it. Anything else just ask...ill let you know if I feel comfortable in telling you. Hope to read some good stuff here, and feel free to share them with me. Hope to meet some good people in life here, talk to me anytime...
