LACTATION RAINBOW

Jimmy Chen is my friend. He is currently, and abruptly, single.

I know he looks like sort of a wise catfish or some creature monster from "big man, japan." What he lacks in magnetism he makes up with humorous critical thought.

He has a stereotypical asian-american deep voice and his speech has a slow tempo to it.

He's sort of a douche too. Once he wrote a post called "FUCK YOU JEREME!" on Htmlg because I said some shit that made him angry.

So my guess is he beats women. Kind of an overreactor.

I think i'm fucking this up. Check it:




(maybe he can get a sympathy blowjob at the next awp. i'm just saying everyone is already fucking everyone else anyways. just seems fair.)

15 MOST OVERRATED CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN WRITERS. HUFFINGTON POST



This list is ridiculous. Some of the folks on the list: Jonathan Saffran Foer, Junot Diaz. Serious. Really, Anis Shivani? Who the fuck are you? When you write anything half as good as anyone one your list, then talk shit. Being a foreigner, living in America, writing about the exploits of impoverished nations, might get you nominated for awards, but it's been done by people better than you, it's played out. Yawn. Instead of focusing on people you are jealous of, why not focus on contemporary writers who really are puffed up? People who can't write a lick? There are plenty, but Junot Diaz isn't one of them. I'm so sick of haters concentrating on ripping apart people who have found success, who have accomplished something great. Why not write your own novel that's so much better and more original than The Bonesetter's Daughter, instead of a bullshit column used to get attention? I guess if you could, you would.


The rest of the list is here:

I AM THE PEDOPHILE OF YOUR LONELINESS

I am sort of obligated to do this post. I promised XTX that I would post my facebook updates if she sent me a picture of her unshaved armpit. She did.

It wasn't as good as I had imagined it. I wanted more like black wires emerging from a mayonnaise graveyard.
I will totally sell the pic if someone wants it. Seriously.

I'm sure Paul Madore would buy it. But I think he's going to be sad to see my name written on her skin.

So like I said I am obligated to post my facebook updates. Most of them are lines or titles to poems. Others are me just being a perv. Enjoy:

ASHES OF FANTE

People say LA isn't a writing town. I don't get this sentiment. Do they mean there aren't bullshit parties with publishers to attend? The type of party where you drink yourself to death because it is the only way to keep the mock smile plastered on your pathetic face? Man we totally have those here but the producers put them on, not the publishers.

And there is a lot more pussy and better drugs at these parties.

Or do they mean there is nothing worthy of writing about here? Pics of some shit from the boulevard:

THANK ME LATER. JOHN BERRYMAN



JOHN BERRYMAN - "There sat down once, a thing on Henry's heart, so heavy, if he had a hundred years and more, weeping, sleepless, in all them time Henry could not make good."

GUEST BLOGGER: SHANNON PEIL "THAT GUY"



I try not to call myself a writer, or a poet, or anything, honestly. I've always had this thought in my head that you can't call yourself a writer until everyone else is like, 'Oh yeah, that guy - that guy is a writer.' But if someone walked up and asked me, 'What are you all about?' and I took it seriously and didn't say something outlandish to cover up my insecurities about what it is that I actually do with my life, I would probably say, 'I like to write.'

This answer doesn't end conversations like I wish it did. I wish that when you said 'I like to write,' the person on the receiving end of your answer would just say, 'That's nice,' and not really mean it and walk away.

SUPERHERO. MATTHEW BLASI. POW! BAM! BOOM!


My man, Matthew Blasi, Superhero and Superwriter, started a blog dedicated to both the superhero and to the comics where they can be found. Here's a snippet from his debut post where he discusses his initial introduction to Wolverine:

"Wolverine, doused in blood on the cover, with spikes sticking out of his hand (Barry Windsor Smith would later say something along those lines), looking pissed, ready to kick ass, take names. And the shit hits the fan from page one. We open on a 9 panel spread depicting a village littered with dead bodies, villagers and soldiers both. The seventh, eighth, and ninth panel usher in the action, as unseen figures lift the dead and prepare a funeral pyre. We catch a glimpse of what looks like a blade housed in a wrist sheath, and a costumed hand holding a torch. The next page brings together the previous page’s action with full-page splash panel of Wolverine and two comrades standing feet away from the blazing pyre, staring into the fire’s light. Threaded through these are images are the call and response inner questions of Wolverine: “What is Rumika [. . .] Ramika’s a funeral pyre. And I’m the undertaker. And chief mourner” (1-3). The immediate impression was simple: sorrow, loss, revenge that woudn’t stop at simply nabbing crooks. In fact, Batman’s crooks seemed suddenly small, petty. Sure, Joker and Two-Face were scary. But Wolverine’s foes would slaughter a whole village, men, women, and children, just to get at him. Wolverine wasn’t dealing with crooks and capers. He was dealing with genocide. This wasn’t Batman playing detective, leaving his foes tied up under a street lamp for the Gotham PD to haul in. This wasn’t Spider-Man cracking jokes and courting Mary Jane. This looked like (and still looks like) serious superhero nastiness."


So yeah, that's what he does. Stop by when you get a chance. Read it, love it, embrace it, then read it again. May the force be with you (I think that's from Star Wars, but I digress).

POW! BAM! BOOM!
