Linguistic chaos from my niche world. Hot Leads and Lonely Stakeouts: My Day of Freelancing for the NY Post. The sky wasn’t dark but it was getting there. My phone had 8% battery charge left. My sunflower seeds were almost gone. I was sick to my stomach with myself, the media, Internet readers. All this bullshit, because of a rumored sex tape. I thought back to how it began an email I thought was a prank. Are you interested in working for the NY Post today? Sure, I thought. Yeah right. A text returned fr...

Linguistic chaos from my niche world. 28, or, How Keva Got His Groove Back. Today is my 28th birthday. I’ll spare you the whiny existential, ontological, and anthropocentric rants that have haunted my previous birthday blog posts. Like yearbook haircuts, they are hard to look back on. Speaking of yearbooks…. They had some MTV success back around 2005 with “ In This Diary. 8221; and their cover of “ Boys of Summer. 8221; but of course, their best stuff came before that on Kung Fu Records. November 17, 2014.

Linguistic chaos from my niche world. At 29 years old, I’ve discovered the truth. Everyone is lying to me. It’s not so much a realization, but a confirmation. The truth is that getting old isn’t all that bad. Sure, there’s the aches and pains. That much is true. The other night I got off the couch and proceeded to the bed and upon lying, realized that, somewhere along the way, I tweaked a back muscle. Lift, turn, walk, lie and… my back is destroyed? Guess I’m not as spry as I used to be. You see, I didn’...

Linguistic chaos from my niche world. Music, Movies, Books. There are rules to a good Top 5 list guidelines, if you will. 1) The best test for greatness is time. I have a two-year rule. 2) Honorable mentions are for suckers. Pick five and stick with it! 3) It’s hard enough selecting only five; the order doesn’t matter. 4) People change and so will you. I update this list yearly. Best-of-all-time type movies. Films like. Every day, but they are still my favorite films. Make sense? 1) The Truman Show (1998).

Linguistic chaos from my niche world. Fiction Prediction: How Crichton Prophesied Our Awful Internet Age. The past two or three years, in my late twenties, I’ve almost exclusively read fiction.

Linguistic chaos from my niche world. Launching a Career in Freelance Writing: Leads, Clients and Pay Rates. Like a pack of baby seals conscious of the ever-pervasive and always hungry predator, writers stick together. One question I often hear is, “How can I make money on my writing? My answer is usually the same: build a blog, makes business cards, and network until you bleed. Then I hear: “Shut up it’s not that simple.”. I say: “Yes. It is.”. Them: “What can I do? Me: “Can you write? So then: I wrote.

Linguistic chaos from my niche world. Micro-filming with Adobe Premiere Clip: My life in 4 short videos. 98% of the time I use my phone to check email. When I want to be fancy, I post a picture to Instagram. That’s about it. With fresh eyes, then, (the unlimited potential of my phone revealed to me), a query clobbered my restless mind. What if the ’90s version of myself were to get ahold of an iPhone? What would I have done with it? Enter ‘Adobe Premiere Clip’. May 18, 2016. Into something else. I re...
