One Angry Anthropoid

A secular rapture

2011-10-23T15:53:00.000-07:00

The clock at the end of the world is quoting scripture, book chapter verse. The clock at the end of the world has become aware of its existence, using the small moments remaining to think about Sufism while writing folk songs for the people waiting. The songs are wonderful, full of mirth and rhythm, fragile bridges and soaring chorus. With sadness the End knows that no one will ever hear them.

Dead words

If I were Charles Bukowski, I'd be dumb enough to find this romantic. By "this" I mean the pervasive alone and the constant mixed drinks. If I were a fatter writer, content in my misery I'd make gorging myself a gimmick. But instead it's just another hidden, dark, thing tunneled under the over weight surface. If I had half the sense I do now, the girls would flow, without beauty, into my bed

Poem for the Perseids

2011-08-14T17:00:00.001-07:00

I'll never understand your dispassionate view of music on the radio or the way you insist on touching my arm during the lulls in conversation. There's a meteor shower later tonight and you promised to wake me with a kiss or a phone call as proxy. I can't find my blanket or the keys to the car I know you'd be worried if you knew. I'll never understand your dispassionate view of music on the

I'm still here

I swear I'll start writing new material for here soon... or I'll just post podcast links... so there!

Last day of vacation

2011-07-10T15:10:00.000-07:00

It's the last day of my vacation and I'm sitting, yet again, in the gay coffee shop, iced coffee and Aretha Franklin's "Say a little prayer for you" is playing slightly too loud. I feel like I'm cheating the last fading remainders of my sexuality being here; but the music is funny in juxtaposition with my normal mood and it's not like I'm using it anyway. Sometimes this place has a somber vibe

For no reason here are sections from the book I'm writing.

- Insect Life - There are no pronouns, as of yet, but she is waiting, bristling in the corner. If the universe could perceive without influence, it would watch her crawl and scratch in a dark and lonely place. A time of changes is set upon the town and the players held therein. The pieces move in a clockwork madness, inscribed in years gone by, and recited, by rote, as the night would swallow

Death Math!

2011-06-23T09:36:00.000-07:00

This may sound a bit morbid, but I mean it mathematically. When was the last day that no one died? There had to be at least one 24 hour period since the onset on Homo Sapiens to have no death, right? I know there isn't a specific date, but I assume that a date range could be assumed from morbidity rates and world population.

Zarathustra

It's like a cardboard cutout of your entire family burnt to a cinder. Well, maybe it's more like those wooden marionettes that flip when you pull on the sticks. Either way, we can call each other kings. All hail the Angra Manru(frightful spirit devil). Blessed be the Ahura Mazda(good lord god) who is now springing from winged circle.It has often been a subject of debate how many devils can be

My 10 favorite words, today

2011-06-04T13:50:00.000-07:00

1) Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia: the fear of long words. This is just funny2) Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis: Often cited as English's longest word, a supposed lung disease from breathing in silicate fibers. I love that the first definition of the word is often that it is a long word, oddness.3) Lethologica: the inability to remember a word or put your finger on the right

Episode 10

2011-05-31T15:23:00.000-07:00

Episode 10 of the Alexxcast is up @ http://alexx.podomatic.com/ Episode 10 is a piercing look into the shadowy world of the occult! Featuring tarots and the mystical energies of a mad scientist erased from the historical record, a jaw dropping revelation of drug abuse and anorexia, and a new voice recorder! Oh, and a mildly offensive break about Memorial day and its interaction with Alexx's

Painting

Check out this awesome painting my friend Mel made for me. This is a character/plant from the novel I'm writing. I like it.

Things with words

2011-05-26T13:19:00.001-07:00

Hey guys, so I broke down and purchased a good digital voice recorder for the podcast. This is a good thing if you like listening to random nonsense! So, if you'd like to be a guest drop me a line @ 1angryanthropoid gmail com and maybe we can have a dance party, but with words, and little dancing.

Episode 9

2011-05-22T18:27:00.000-07:00

Episode 9 is a hardscrabble look at how far one man will go to make a pun on the word hardscrabble. Also, two religions get shit on, latin is forgotten, pretzels are assumed to be from Japan, Citizen Kane is shit on, and some other stuff that I forgot. Enjoy!

A small poem

There are no words for individual tearsor the poems which form within those momentsof walking direction-lessor sitting in a carto watch the lights go out.

Found

Here's some dialog I never used. It's from a movie I never wrote.#1 is a woman around 24, or 27, 30 if she's a vegetarian.#2 is a man around 32, 27 if he's a smoker.1: Cool cat, what's its name?2: Um... it's uhh... it's called Maybe.1: May Bee, or, like might be, maybe?2: Maybe, like, sorta... m-a-y...a-b-e.1: Oh? That's an odd name for a cat.2: Uhhh.... Wha... what's it a normal name for?1: Huh?

Addendum

2011-05-17T19:40:00.000-07:00

Yeah, so maybe that last post was a little darker than the usual fare here. But, fuck man, I had a bad couple of weeks. It happens, alright? Anyway, I feel obliged to come back to you with some kind of grace, some civility beyond the oppressive bluesy ennui of recent times. I just watched a cursor blink for three minutes thinking about something amusing to say. I edited the novel a bit the other

whinging

2011-05-15T17:41:00.000-07:00

Christ I feel thin lately, and not in a good way. I'm just stretched out and little spots of light are shining through the fabric. It's like a half step away from weeping at any given moment. I went to the grocery earlier and almost broke down because I couldn't find onion powder and this little girl kept walking by me as if the universe needed a more obvious sign post that I'm unmarried, alone,

The Mahabharata

2011-05-09T08:54:00.000-07:00

I wish to tell you that my intellectual powers stop just short of making any sort of sense of the Mahabharata. It just seems like people having incredible children and then never showing up again. This makes my rereading of the Bhagavad Gita a somewhat scary proposition. I read bits of it in college, but mostly those weird verses which talk about nuclear wars and UFOs. Google nuclear war in the

The void sutras

Hey guys, I just got my first earnings report from Amazon for the book. Not a best seller by any stretch but more books sold than I previously assumed. So, thanks to anyone who spent money on my silly words. I really appreciate it. Spread the word if you liked it.the void sutras

Creativity and the hive mind

2011-04-23T16:41:00.000-07:00

I've been debating whether or not to tell you guys about this, since it has very little relation to this blog, but I started Podcasting. And, it's not good. I mean, purposefully it's pretty bad. I don't plan anything, rarely make sense, and stumble over anything I have to read. But, it's a creative outlet and helps me get in the mood to write. So, if you're interested in listening to me ramble

This is great

The dark and secret ways of The Pressfield Eleven, or, small stories from a place no gone, or, the group at the end of the establishment, or, how we came to find out about love in the time of full disclosure. Most citizens of the sort that follow this type of thing have concluded that the Pressfield Eleven were, and I mean this without insult, a bunch a drooling inbreds not fit for God or country
