Artic Artic Baby!

 Good afternoon,

As I write this, I'm currently in Day Two of staying indoors because of the cold. It's currently three degrees in my city. Tomorrow will be the same, then for the rest of the week it'll warm up to the teens. I'm picky, I don't like the heat or the cold. My favorite season is fall, but in my city it only lasts about fifteen minutes. 

I usually alternate between staying home one day and going out the next, unless I'm sick. And I only do that because nowadays every time anyone goes out, they're going to spend some money. Which is one hundred percent true, unless you're going for a walk. And honestly, who does that? 

This week I'll go back to a job I left in November, to start a job I thought was better. But it really wasn't. As a matter of fact, it was worse in my aspects. Last year this year marked two firsts - walking out on a job and returning to a prior one. And they both feel right.

After a short (very short) amount of deliberation, I've decided to dedicate this blog solely for the purpose of elevating poetry and poetics in an attempt to garner participation and interest. The following is an unpublished piece about Sons of Anarchy. Ode To Samcro You are rugged, wind whistled leather kuttes. That strike fear in the hearts of outsiders. But love in your locals. Dirt, conflict and time strewn into the grooves, the patches proudly  tainted with mayhem stains.  Samcro born out of unity, brotherhood rising from soldiers together in the Asian jungle. Solution simple. Don't fit into the world anymore? Create your own. You are the protective arm of Charming. Full of warmth and affectionate breezes.  The keeper of your secrets and deeds. Its heartbeat the throb of your Harleys  that flow to the green and white chain link fence.  The MC still standing,  through the passage of years, blood, wars and wildness. Some faces changing but the mark remai...

Retraction of Prior Title

Image
  I literally looked up and it's been more than a month since my last post, to which the only thing I have to say is.... That was not, nor has it ever been my intention to leave that much of  a gap in this new (or semi-new) endeavor. But I've said all of that to say I no longer hate planks, yet I don't love them either. You see, several things have happened since my last post. Last week, for the first time I was able to get up off the floor by myself! It may not seem like a big deal, but for someone like me; who usually avoided the floor at all costs and considered getting up off the floor with massive amounts of dread, it's EVERYTHING. *************** Attended an online open mic I haven't been to in a while. Tallgrass Writers Guild which is usually on the fourth Saturday of each month. Despite all the possibilities of technical glitches, I must say I love the convenience of it all. Attending an open mic without having to leave the house with clothing optional (from...

I Don't Mind Working Out, But I Hate Planks

Image
  Yes, I said it. I hate all kinds of planks - Basic, Side, Full, Spiderman. I almost didn't go workout yesterday because of the dread I had of doing them. TRYING to do them, because I can't. So, I went but the first thing I said was that I'm not doing anything floor related. Wednesday filled me with frustration as I spent most of floor exercise time laying on the floor because the only thing I could do was the pelvic thrusts. This? No. Nah, not this either. I could only do this, but with my stomach touching the floor - But these, FORGET it! And even though I shouldn't be annoyed that I was the only one that couldn't do them, I was. I know everyone's fitness levels are different as I had to keep reminding myself that Rome wasn't built in a day. But part of me began to think about how I'm in my third month of working out consistently but I have nothing so show for it. My stomach, the beloved 'problem area' is the same as it was when I started in M...
