Aphorisms From Poetry Magazine October 2005 by Doug Patterson.Aphorism: A brief statement of a principle, or a short pithy instructive saying.I love aphorism. It suits my obsessive mind to have whole universes of thought encapsulated into a sentence or two; it demonstrates the incapacity of language as a tool for explaining the world while doing exactly that. And we nod and say 'a-ha', a feel

Story from the LA Times, Oct. 19, 2005"I don't think there will be a problem unless somebody wants to make a problem," [commissioner David Stern] told reporters in New York. "If they really want to make a problem, they're going to have to make a decision about how they want to spend their adult life in terms of playing in the NBA or not."Wow! That's quite a threat.

In my college days, money was scarce.  Especially come end of semester.  College club cover charges often seemed wasteful.  The music was tolerable at best, dominated by a techno beat and DJ's who tried spin with complex seriousness written on their face, but were as predictble as a mid-term exam, and usually just as annoying.  I came from South Florida, home of Booty Bass and a Uncle Luke tellin

Monday is the American observation of Columbus Day. That day always makes me mad."They willingly traded everything they owned...They do not bear arms...They would make fine servants...with 50 men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want."I don't get mad because of who Columbus was. Or really what he personally did. He was a man of his times, subject to a greedy King & Queen.

I have some trouble getting into Big Brother this season. At first I blamed it on the casting which seems to have devolved even closer to that of a Gap commercial. But then, most people usually feel this way at the beginning of most reality shows until the drama begins to set in. But this year is different.

It will mean 16 weeks of no Friday nights, it will mean 16 weeks of 6am saturdays, probably some bad blisters and a bad sunburn.

Somewhere a madman got hold of a tube of black acrylic paint. He was angry, despondent, had suffered deep ridicule and humiliation. With the black paint he began to desperately scrape away at his demons with flourishing violent brush strokes. The canvas shook with his wrath. Bright light flashed from his deep grey eyes. He pounded on the canvas, swirling the paint in fits of exasperation.Suddenly

DC Pierson posed a metaphysical assertion in this post about Belushi imagining that his soul was too big to be reincarnated into a single entity.Like, take Belushi. I like to imagine the day after he stopped breathing in the Chateau Marmont, Hollywood, California, three babies were born to three different mothers at three different points on the globe, each with one shard of Belushi.
