David Bowie's Eyes: January 2006
http://davidbowieseyes.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 29, 2006. The Steelers' trip to Super Bowl 40 comes ten years after their appearance in Super Bowl 30 (see how that works? Jersey, and the crowd erupted spontaneously and repeatedly in chants of "Here we go Steelers, here we go." It's not often that I feel caught up in something like that, but I did that night. Here we go, Steelers. Posted by Shane @ 9:05 AM. Saturday, January 28, 2006. Posted by Shane @ 4:08 PM. Thursday, January 26, 2006. What a strange land we live in. Two words: Dick ...

David Bowie's Eyes: February 2006
http://davidbowieseyes.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 27, 2006. Today I, like 927 other aspiring poets, received a "Dear Poet" letter from BOA Editions in regards to their A. Poulin, Jr. Poetry Prize. (Okay, we probably didn't all receive it today.) Actually, it isn't even a letter; it's a copy of the press release announcing the winner, Janice N. Harrington's From the Shadows' Darkness. Also announced were three runners-up, none of which was mine, nor any belonging to my friends. How many come from accomplished poets? What does this mean f...

David Bowie's Eyes: September 2005
http://davidbowieseyes.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 25, 2005. SighNFL, Week 3. In the mean time, I raise my Yuengling to you, Massachusetts Chris. My favorite stat of the game: Pats CB Chad Scott, a former 1st-round draft choice of the Steelers, was called for 2 pass interference penalties, for a total of 48 yards. The Steelers' young corners, Ricardo Colclough and Ike Taylor, look great. Packers, 0-3. Poor Favre. But he's teaching a master class in scoring with chicks.). Ravens, just for good measure. I have high hopes for the Chefs/Bro...

David Bowie's Eyes: August 2005
http://davidbowieseyes.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 31, 2005. The devastation here is biblical: a city destroyed, its residents forced out or killed. But unless Bush is willing to call New Orleans Gomorrah, he'd better keep God out of his mouth. Now go to Itunes and download Bright Eyes' "When the President Talks to God." It's free, and it's brilliant. Posted by Shane @ 8:06 PM. Tuesday, August 23, 2005. Blacks now welcome at Chrysler dealerships? Any molecule of humor is crushed under the weight of this odd bit of racism. I applaud the ...

It's called a Google Alert, and it sends an email whenever your subject (i.e. your name) is mentioned on the internet. Posted by Shane @ 5:52 PM. Saturday, March 25, 2006.

David Bowie's Eyes: July 2005
http://davidbowieseyes.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 31, 2005. The Art of the Blurb. First, let me give a shout-out to leftover birthday cake. Can't get enough of it. Look closely at that second sentence. Doesn't that sound like a treat: get out your elliptical album (elliptical, from the Greek meaning "defective") and enjoy some rain-soaked photographs. What does McGrath mean here? So what am I doing here: trying to raise the standard for blurbs? That the poems are about memory, and that some contain narrative. That's a hell of a blurb. Way t...

David Bowie's Eyes: October 2005

Thursday, October 20, 2005. Don't Let Southern Rock Die. Posted by Shane @ 9:27 AM. Monday, October 17, 2005. I like to collect impressive football player names, and I'd like to log some of them here. I invite you to contribute. Foreign names are off-limits, but I'll accept names from all sports. Here are a few to get us started:. D'Qwell Jackson (Maryland Terrapins): This name would have been ordinary and boring, if someone hadn't replaced the u with a w. Thanks, Mom and Dad. More soon. I invite you...

David Bowie's Eyes: December 2005
http://davidbowieseyes.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 21, 2005. Happy Birthday to Me. Further evidence of my wife's generosity: not only did she buy me the tickets, she went to the game, as well. Granted, she brought a book about Marie Antoinette along, and, granted, her interest in the game peaked with a round of "spot the fatties" in the first quarter, and, granted, she dozed a little in the fourth- but still. Posted by Shane @ 10:50 AM. Monday, December 12, 2005. This weekend I began reading Ben Lerner's The Lichtenberg Figures. Winne...

David Bowie's Eyes: November 2005
http://davidbowieseyes.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 30, 2005. From GWB's speech today: "Americans and Iraqis share the same enemy." He's right. That enemy is George W. Bush. Posted by Shane @ 1:02 PM. Monday, November 28, 2005. More Names For Your Babies. I'm putting this in a separate post, so that interested parties don't need to read through a bunch of crap about a football game. Here are some more names I have come across of late:. Kyler Hall (S, FSU): Not Kyle, not Skyler.would Skyle be better? What wouldn't be better than Kyler?
