Enroute: October 2011
http://owlphd.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
If life is a journey, I'm underway. The 21st century came a step closer to me this past week, when I took delivery of my first. Smartphone. It's a great device, and- even now four days later- I still have no feeling for its seemingly endless capabilities. The world really does seem to fit in my pocket now: that little phone connects to every. Social network, coordinates emails and texts, takes and sends full HD video, directs me home while avoiding traffic, oh.and it makes calls too. To that end, I recen...

Invincibility Potion: NPM 2012.3 - Quite the Panic
http://invincibilitypotion.blogspot.com/2012/04/npm-20123-quite-panic.html
Thursday, April 5, 2012. NPM 2012.3 - Quite the Panic. Cutting keys to my place now. Gasping through a mist. To get in and get that shaking. All over all my shit. Turn all that Shake. And wake me up like. Lousy cops like a very lovely person. Got into a car and won't. Ever get out again and. Goddammit it's still dark out. But you've gotta get. Out of that bed. You've gotta point and sneer and nod. And throw up and pace the horrible. Horrible stillness til the sun. Tells you to go back. And land too soft.

Invincibility Potion: February 2012
http://invincibilitypotion.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 25, 2012. And stand under the headlines every morning. Digging at your eyes. And clinging to the shade they cast. With displaced prayers spilling out over the edges of polite behavior. And when sleep comes. Or like dead cars dropped from helicopters hovering over the freeway. To provide you with either. Secret portable biographies piled up into. Bloodless statistics once the screaming has ceased. Though the smell of gasoline lingers. The screen is black. All that work lost. Tell them t...

Invincibility Potion: June 2010
http://invincibilitypotion.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 20, 2010. As Soon As This Bottle's Empty. As soon as this bottle's empty, we'll rise. And though there'll be decades of clean-up. We've all worked in bars. And restaurants and shit like that. We get a broom in our hands and it'll be like. It won't be any kind of party, but it's okay. Because we'll have killed that bottle. Once we sweat out the asshole. And drink enough water. We'll buy whatever we need and. Then maybe work on what we want. See, we're rich. In piano lessons and offensive jokes.

Enroute: February 2011
http://owlphd.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
If life is a journey, I'm underway. Good luck and bad luck. Today I bought a pair of Vibram FiveFingers. That's because our bodies were designed (through iterative refinement ;-) to run barefoot. Our feet are built for spring: that's what the arch and strong calf muscles do best. The advent of "running shoes" with heel cushioning led to a bad stride, which- while "easier"- is less natural, and gives rise to a whole host of joint and tendon issues which were not problems for barefoot runners. This week it...

Invincibility Potion: March 2011
http://invincibilitypotion.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 11, 2011. The garbage bags and the. Coroner wind been talking. Some bad plans there. Some real harsh witnessing. And the turf just lies there. Like the day before. No such startle there. There's a rake in the garage. And a fright worn garishly on. Some slippery words start. Planning to slur out over a burial. There's a gold band for every other. Ring finger and a tag for every other. The autistic frost kicking the. Dust up on every highway just. Keeps a real clean pistol in its glove box.

Invincibility Potion: Something for Ray - part 1 - 6/6/12
http://invincibilitypotion.blogspot.com/2012/06/something-for-ray-part-1-6612.html
Thursday, June 7, 2012. Something for Ray - part 1 - 6/6/12. Ray Bradbury died last night. I have felt sick all day. And I don't expect to feel much better anytime soon. I am not Joe Hill. I am not George Clayton Johnson. I am not Frank Darabont or Stuart Gordon. I am not F. Murray Abraham or Joe Mantegna. But Ray knew me and called me by my first name. And wearing that badge, I will scrawl my tribute on the wall with the others. I followed Bo Derek. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). February 24th, 2010.

Invincibility Potion: July 2010
http://invincibilitypotion.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 12, 2010. Starting to look awful ghoulish. Like a hidden hangar for billions of buzzards. All waiting on that jaw to open. All waiting on my surrender with a single cough. My skin's gonna peel off in their. Like wet Budweiser labels. Just another empty bottle in the sun. White grins at the restaurants. In foreign realms under key lights. White grins at the department stores that. I can't afford to breathe in. White grins who've never heard a good joke. As mean as their own barricades.
