"Art is either plagiarism or revolution." Paul Gauguin
HELL YES!
I’m very happy to announce that my play, “The Empire State,” will go up at the UIUC Armory Free Theatre in Spring '08! Anyone reading this in the state of Illinois MUST come and see it! I’m stuffing as many chairs into the black box as I can, and I’m going to see if I can get four-six performances, rather than the usual three. I will also most likely be hitting up anyone I know for costumes and props, so please respond to my emails and IMs with ALL SPEED.
Also check out my book, Fortunate Few, which I am posting on storywrite.com. it is only the first draft, so there are a few continuity errors. But I’m very proud of the work I’ve done.
In an effort to market myself on allpoetry, I have compiled a list of my poems that I think are a cut above! This list is in chronological order, so according to the law of averages they get better as I get older and more mature and less full of crap:
Let Me Drown; One Floor; Light Show; My Own Rockstar; The Contract; Marry Me Baby; How Deeply; A Blank Page Sits Waiting; Erasing; Preparing Flowers; The Diner; Tell me not to Go; Crashed Over Me; Diamond; The Glass Squares; Random Haiku I; The Devil in Me; Never and No.; one tear fallen; Leila; Thousand Times Before; Half-Filled; To Find Me, To Find You; When You Lay me Down; One for Harry; Hymn of the Queen Bitch; Voice of the Extra; Death of Mars; Soul of the Suburbs; The Show Goes On; I Chose It; Go-To Girl; Testimony; Priceless; Green Fatigue; Of the Tragic Kind; I am hollow; Not So Funny; I Break/You Break; Silent Tune; Pair of Fools; I Cry Mercy; Random Haiku II; cherry
The above is in no way a pompous thing. It's just that I don't always want to read whatever the new thing someone has written is, but how do I know what's good of theirs or not? Again, this is not pomposity.
I have much love for everyone and try to be as fair as I can with my critiquing. If I don't like something about a piece I've read, I will always tell the writer what I liked about it as well.

A Note About My BACKGROUNDS: The internet is a powerful tool and has allowed me to find many wonderful backgrounds. Though I may have done some airburshing, cropping, and manipulating, none of these images are original to me. They are for you to enjoy and enhance my words. None of my backgrounds are attributed to anyone, because that is not aesthetically pleasing, but I firmly state here that they are neither my artwork nor my images.

Dynamite13 on December 23, 2005Here's a mini poem for you--
"I want to make out with my boyfriend
But I can’t
Cause he’s in Rockford
And he’s not my boyfriend.
Crap!"
Oh, and I might get kicked out of the university because I forgot to turn in my financial aid forms. Actually, I only forgot the first month. The rest of the semester I just kept putting it off. Now it's the 23rd and the hold on my account ends the 31st and I still haven't sent them the form.
I need help.
I need help.
I need help.
I need help.
I need help.
I need help.
I need help.
I need help. -
Dynamite13 on December 20, 2005I don't want to be the next Mamet. I want to be the next Pinter. I want to be the next Chekov.
(Actually, I think what I really want is someone to be the next Me.)

Dynamite13 on December 24, 2004Finished my Christmas shopping! Of course, I haven't finished making the presents I was supposed to make for some family members last year. Do you think they'll notice?
Mr. Tucker Carlson, or, as I like to call him, Fuck-Me Mr. Carlson, squawked out about the stupidity of the phrase "Happy Holidays". He even pulled a poll out that said that fifty-odd percent of Democrats prefer to say "happy holidays" as opposed to the seventy-odd percent of Republicans who prefer to say "Merry Christmas". As if this somehow proved Democrat inferiority! Who did this poll, the Young Republican Elves Association? If Tucker Carlson thinks that respecting other people's traditions and being an inclusive spirit makes you suck, then he can suck me!
And by the way, 98% of Americans observe Christmas in some fashion. That doesn't make it the nation faith. Considering that 2% represents 570,000 people. And who knows how many of the 98% have another winter holiday as well? Not Tucker Carlson, that's for damn sure.
The saddest part of all is that the more he spews his hate-flavored, partisan bullcrap, the sexier I find him. Bad Eli, naughty, dirty Eli.
Happy Holidays!
