Denver Vs. New England...

"well it's Saturday night and i'm feeling alright" —Slug

just got back from Koshkin's...addendum, BOTH BOTH should be out by Tuesday (the cover is WAY hyphy if i may say so)...drank some wine that curiously smelled of beef jerky...but didn't taste that way...

...have been steadily weeping my way through The X-Files season 8...mad props go out to Jerimiah Bowen and Sabrina Calle for not interupting me once as i excitedly reiterated the plot points to the "This Is Not Happening" episode last night at the bar...mad props go to the door guy for letting me in five fingers...and to the bartender who i thought was Latina and or Pinay (but found out was white) buying me a drinks...

just heard back from Paul Hoover over at New American Writing...they're taking some poetry (from Mouf) for their upcoming 06' issue...hooray for me!!!...

...Denver is playing the Pats tonight...last i checked it was 3-0 Pats...boo!!!...i've grown to love the Broncos while living in CO...huge crushes on Jake Plumer and DJ Williams (a Concord boy!...the highschool he went to was right next to my highschool...private VS. Cali public/ his highschool used to refer to kids at my highschool as "ghetto rats"...needless to say HUGE difference...De La Salle (the best highschool football team in the country...espn made a documentary about them called "151"...they won 151 games in a row!!!) being a Catholic school and my highschool Ygnacio Valley High being a public school where stabbings (during school) and shootings (after school) and riots (sur vs. norte vs. woo woo's (vietnamese click) vs. vigilantes (pinoy click)) were not all that uncommon (don't get me wrong, YVHS wasn't the worst school in the world (you'd have to go to Oakland or Richmond for that), just typically bad for any of the California publics (elem/middle/highschool) that are located near the racially segregated (Hispanic) and economically denegrated neighborhood of Monument Blvd (South Concord))...

can't seem to get Norma Cole's Scout to work on my computer even though i have the proper OS software...boo...

had a nice conversation with Alan G. over the last couple of days about rap music (sort of ongoing for the last year or so though)...i LOVE Alan...i think he might be my poetry-blood-brother-in-crime-brother...his selected essays is forthcoming from Coffee House super soon...cop that shit!!!

...also, look for my review of Dizzee Rascal's Showtime forthcoming in the next issue of Steve Dickison/ David Meltzer's music rag Shuffle Boil...Brandon Brown also has a couple of reviews in the same issue...BB, what did you review again?

bout to call Akilah Oliver for drinks and fraternizing...

...currently listening to John Coltrane Giant Steps...
