Bad Thoughts Talk
Welcome to my first post in three months. Happy Halloween, Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year! I haven't been on a hiatus, I have been working on finishing up my second book of poetry and third published work, Universe Unraveling. I am in the editing phase right now so soon I hope to lock down a release date. I have labored for more than two years on the second installment of 'Heavenly Decay' and I feel, as a biased supporter, that it has been worth the hours agonized over its production. I have been done with the first draft for almost a month and I have barely begun my first edit. I attribute that to my lack of discipline, as well as, the apprehension created to my insecurities. I write because I can't help to. I write despite what I understand; it is a pathless journey. Still, I cannot help but stop and ponder if I want to continue a journey that leads no where. Then I begin to think to myself that completion is my only journey, finish what I've started, teach myself my most troublesome lesson. If the road leads to a dead end or leads to infinity, I must walk the paths I take and not turn back at the first gate (now that's poetry).
Besides Universe Unraveling, I have been obsessed with Bad Thoughts Talk, which is essentially me talking into a camera about bull shit I feel needs my opinion. Bad Thoughts Talk is an outlet for my opinion. Whether crass, poignant, ignorant or otherwise I am forcibly compelled to omit humanity's most common attribute. I must say that if I thought that was unique; my vanity is limitless, but I understand wholly that my voice isn't that needle in a haystack it is a simple piece of straw. Nonetheless, Bad Thoughts Talk persists. I hope you, whoever you are, enjoys my face talking into a camera. Hopefully, you forget my face and just listen. Hopefully you listen.
