Hell DOES Freeze Over...

After sitting in the can for over a year...

It's done.

The long-awaited Part 4 to the Uncle Freddy Pilot is completed. You can listen to it
here.

I won't bore you with the details of how it got done. I will say this, though: Thank you, computer geeks everywhere, for inventing USB ports and flash drives. And thank the universe they can cross platforms.

Anyhoo, enjoy. Let me know what you think, good or bad. There's only one part left. I'm hoping to get it out before the decade's over.

Novel Progressions

Let's get back to business...

I've been working hard, reading volumes of journals, scouring through pages of utter prepubescent bullcrap, reliving packed-away events and emotions avowed never to be reopened in perpetua, transcribing the creme of the crop of literary genius spewed forth from my brain into pure art and I've come up with

13 poems
14 essays/stories (of which all will not be used)
4 monologues

Put them all together and you got yourself a booklet. Yeah, buddy.

So what I need now is a printer. Not a printer like a computer peripheral but as in a printing house. Sure, I could Kinko's it but I'd like a production level a couple steps above a manga zine. Anybody out there help a brother out?

Sis -- I know you mentioned knowing someone in AMUN who I can talk to. I'll hit you up for info when you're in town this weekend.

Everyone else: If'n you got any advice, now's the time to speak up.

Thanks in advance.

Something Incredible Is Gonna Happen Today

Why, you ask?
Because.

Incredible things happen every day, every single day. Little miracles unfold in front of us all the time. Sometimes they happen to us, sometimes we are meant to witness them. Thing is, we're usually too busy or preoccupied with everyday life that we miss them. All the time. We're too focused on how much our job sucks, or how we haven't had a girlfriend in 10 months, or how we stopped chasing our dreams and left them by the side of the road miles ago. In reality, though, all that doesn't matter. Even the shittiest of days has at least one bright spark of wonder grace us with its presence. In fact, the shittier the day you have, the brighter that spark's gonna be. So be ready. Could be right as you wake up, could be right before you go to bed, or it could be lost somewhere in-between. You gotta be prepared for it. If you head into your day knowing it won't be anything but crap, all you're gonna see is crap. But if you want to see something truly amazing, you increase your chances to experience it exponentially. Lose your inhibitions, drop your expectations, and just know that it will happen.

Don't miss it.

I can see you

New Jersey, why do you keep knocking on my door?
I don't know anyone from Jersey, at least not personally.
At least, I thought so.
But now, you check out this site more than I do.
I'm flattered, really, but c'mon, Mt. Laurel, who are you? Are you a spammer?
I'd like to know.

Same for Jasper, Indiana. Don't know anyone from there, but all of a sudden you're keeping pace with Mt. Laurel there.
Are you a spammer?

Plenty of people from other countries. Canada, of course. Got Vancouver representin'. But Quebec and Nova Scotia? Cool. Alberta I can understand just because I'm a big Fubar fan and have been spreading the Word of Terry and Dean for years. Five other countries been callin' as well. France, Sweden, and Singapore (!) must've made a wrong turn at Alberqueque. I had family in Australia, so that's a gimme (Welcome home, Ms. Aimless). Spain came to call, and came back for more. :)

Arlington Heights, IL and Milwaukee... wazzup! You mah homies. We blood, what? Same goes to Houston, TX and Phoenix, AZ. Got some contact from an old friend by way of Plano, TX. Thanks, I missed you. And a BIG tip of my top hat to Cville, Virginia (Heeeeeeeyyyy!), Seattle, NOLA, and to all the Masons in the DC area.

And then there's this one dude (and I know it's a dude without the -ette 'cause,... well, let's call it a hunch) who's a complete mystery. Motherfucker's orbiting Uranus in a flying saucer or something. Freaky yet curious.
