Seven years. Whoopty fuck. Obama will have a mighty big elephant to deal with in 2011. Poor guy. Hopefully he'll have all of his goals taken care of by then. If James K. Polk can do it, so can Obama. Huzah!

Motorhead wasn't exceptionally great. They were Motorhead:
'Were they good?'
'Well, they were Motorhead.'
'Oh - okay.'
'Yeah.'
Valiant Thorr rocked all over the place. They put on a fantastic show and they had something to say - 'Ya know what I'm sayin'?!' V.T. are a volatile mix of Iron Maiden, Thin Lizzy, and Bad Religion. Throw in the high-octane attitude of the MC5 and you've got one of the best rock groups today. Goddammit, they were great. Valiant Himself even reminds a lot of Rob Tyner. A shouting/singing wild man who's all about feeling good and making a difference. And wrestling: "No Holds Barred" is a great escape from the space-viking protest rock that prevails throughout their newest album, Immortalizer. The Thors can play their asses off and Himself has loads of good ideas; it is equally rewarding to see they have a fun side. All in all, I would call Valiant Thorr a reliable investment.

Still don't know what I'm going to call the book, but the order of the thing should go like this:
1) Poems
2)Ideas/Essays
3) Flash Fiction
Perhaps that could change. The shorter pieces should go up front and sort of pepper the rest of the thing - keep the flow even. The most a/effecting pieces need to go at the beginning, the middle, and the very end. Of course. Any how, I suppose I should get back to the floor. Shoes will be in soon - hopefully. $300 coming in the mail from mom. I'll need it. I need to remember to cancel my Netflix. Don't need it any longer. Not necessary. And that's $16.97 I'm not spending. Hoo-zah.

Should "Chaos" be put into the book as one long thing, or separated throughout...?...something to think about.

- Later -

Okay - I'll start compiling a list. In no particular order, this book will include:

Death Is A Star (1...); "My Carlin-Like Insanity" (shall be retitled and maybe even split up); John Doe; Ramsey the Great (still needs finishing); Joseph the Pious (still needs to be written); Sitting...; "School's Out" (re-title); The Evil of Jeremy Irons; The Lady In Kicking Horse Reservoir; Tomorrow's Today (needs some work); "What I See in Fear..."; Notes To An Activist Free Verse; Untitled; Kokamo (needs some work); The Institute of Historical Review of America; Plea From a WASP; By Order of the Prophet, We Ban That Boogie Sound; Champagne Socialists; Read My Head; Blue Heaven; Day of Anubis; Father's Day (needs work); Independence Day (needs work); Memorial Day (needs work); Chaos (in parts).
