Take One (from Spring 2001)

This is really old stuff, but here it is for the first time in its entirety.

An Introduction to My World: Take One (from Spring 2001)

The Devil Made Me Do It

That excuse only works today, so take advantage.

Old Poems

Okay so last night I came across my monster files of poems from Spring 2001. I took a Poetry workshop class my last semester at school and because of that I was able to dig out a lot of poems during that time period. Unfortunately I haven’t done much with them since then… so I [...]

Okay enough…

I think I need to force another ultimatim on myself so that I can pump out some words… It’s starting to get really bottled up top. Not since Spring 2006 did I do one of these things, but I am going to start forcing myself to take a few minutes every day and write something… [...]

That’s How I Roll

So, I am over using that phrase… so I will do a quick 2 minute rundown of alternative ways to say the same thing.

Thats how I operate
Thats how I integrate
Thats how I calibrate
Thats how I do what I do
Thats how I instigate
Thats how I celebrate
Thats how I do the deeds
Thats how I rock the vote
Thats [...]

sticky nicky loves the p-rocks

sticky nicky ran up a tree
and fell ontop her spleen
but then she got a new p-rocks
and felt atop a rock
suddenly cracked a smile
delightful she thought
atop the rock she laughed
she loves her p-rocks
she loves her chinese restaurant
so she took a gander
down marshmallow mocha river
purple thoughts cloud her brain
now she has a mission to attain
a certifiable secret [...]

What does Thursday feel like?

we pick up our conversation, previously in progress….

Hey at least its Thursday…. This week has been really really long… Monday felt like Wednesday, Tuesday felt like Wednesday, and yesterday I was confused but happy that the next day was Thursday… now, I’m not sure what to think other than tomorrow is Friday!

Perception vs Reality

So sometimes I need to pull a post reprise.. I wrote this 5 years ago yesterday and never got an answer… Maybe some of my current readers will have thoughts….

from 2003-04-01 Perception as Reality

Reality is Perception and Perception is Reality, but what happens when you mix the two together in the same jar, shake it [...]

Okay… How about?

I need some inspiration for content…. What would anyone like to learn/know about?

Goooooood!

In response to a question about the integrity and the goodness of the day.. (all I said was, “Good Morning”).. I just have to say..

It’s always a good day!
And that’s how I live.
I like goodness.
I am good.

Water is good.
Blue skies are good.
Grey clouds are also good!
That’s just how I roll.

To Gig or Not To Gig?

Alright so I started writing this a few weeks ago, I guess it’s about time I revisit it so I can just dump it out of my internal brain queue…. Editor Note- This was written over the course of several weeks…

Today in 2bs.com class we will learn what Patrick really means when he [...]

Rats Chasing Cats

Rats chasing cats
Cats chasing dogs
Dogs chasing people
People chasing fish
Fish chasing bears
Bears chasing fish
Fish chasing people
People chasing dogs
Dogs chasing cats
Cats chasing rats

So… Message Board?

Since I am being severly lazy with the release of 2BS 2.0 (or whatever the next redesign—redo—entire website from the original concept built 7 years ago)... ... maybe I have enough active visitors to bring back the MESSAGE BOARD.. and we can have some real fun… away from this 2BS dominated bullshit…. [...]

Stay Tuned Internet Readers

Seems as if we here at twobs have not been posting new blogs as of late. The last post came between worlds and the next post will come from this world. It’s Tuesday. Yes. Mark it down. In other news, it’s November. This much I have deemed true. We’ll have to post some pictures up [...]

And The Verdict Is…

The Verdict is in..

I had to physically call the village of Afton to get word back on my stupid guilty plea on the speeding ticket.

83 in a 65 on the highway

Any guesses on how much of a fine they whopped on me?

Wash Cloths…

Reader Question from TS Elliot:
Does a washcloth ever really need to be washed (provided it doesn’t start to smell)? think about it, everyday it’s full of soap and hot water. what does putting it in the washing machine accomplish?

A washcloth, wash cloth, flannel, or face cloth is a small square about the width of a [...]

The Barcode Ghost

A short while ago in a not too far away land lived a barcode with many hands. A barcode unafriad to tell secrets but keen to thoughtless provacation. A barcode unlike no other but alike many others. This barcode lived a happy life always passing with high ANSI standard quality. Til one day along came [...]

Thanks Google..

Okay, so my page rank on google is going down (as expected) for the search term “Brian Smith”... Yesterday it was 14th, and now it appears to be 11th (which at least is #1 on page 2).. but come on Google… let’s get with the program.. I used to be #1 or #2 [...]

Patience

Patience is a virtue.

Patience is the ability to endure waiting, delay, or provocation without becoming annoyed or upset, or to persevere calmly when faced with difficulties.

Impatience is an opposite of patience.

So when waiting for a pot of water to boil, it’s not a matter of how long or how much time it will take, it’s [...]

Apparently…

I look like a slob? and my handwriting sucks?  I honestly just read this on a comment card. (filled out by a couple assholes of course). I can’t explain the slob comment, but as far as the handwriting is concerned, I write my name differently on every single card to try and display some personality [...]

A couple rough drafts…

These were written as part of the Spring Implementation project that’s currently on indefinite hiatus.  Like I said, rough. My skills have been sleeping for a while so I’ve gotta work through a lotta stupid loophills inside my brain before anything decent comes out. It was tough enough to pull these ideas out. Any ideas/comments [...]

Implementation Update

Alright so… 16 Days have gone by since I have initiated my implementation.. Did I tell you about that?.. Well if not, the basic jist is this.. I consider myself a poet, but I haven’t produced much poetry in the past few years soo.. I have cracked down on myself only to produce. Most [...]

Implementation

Implementation

Okay before this day passes I must admit. Today I have implented a formal lockdown and because of my insanely long super lack of production I need to open up the floodgates and attempt to write 1 thing creative a day. I have written thousands and thousands of poems in my life and I have [...]

Where do we go now?

the streets are alive with passion.
the hills breathe fire from rain.
I stand here today not a man.
but mankind.
I stand here today lifting my arm to forgive
things I can’t change…
like the red potion of tomorrow,
winds bring cold flowing breeze.
this isn’t a path but a promise.
i’m cold [...]

Kubla Khan

Kubla Khan
OR, A VISION IN A DREAM.
A FRAGMENT.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree :
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.

So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round :
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing [...]

Reality is Perception and Perception is Reality

Reality is Perception and Perception is Reality, but what happens when you mix the two together and the same jar, shake it up, then dump it out onto the pavement? Do you have spilt milk, spoiled eggs, or just a collection of goo. Thats what I want to know.

Blogging.

Okay, this is from my old blog. I am just going to post it up here. It’s going to say that it’s been posted on March 11, but you and I will know the real deal

Picking up Prescriptions
