I came running out of this building through a revolving door and instantly thrown at the sidewalk by some harsh figure I came to helpless twirls. someone dropped a glass and stared. I really love this I really really love this, illuminations are Atomic Bombs, scraped palms.

have you guys heard anything about morgellons disease? i'm kind of a hypochondriac so ive been researching it a lot, it looks fucked up.
i'm like seriously dying to know what the s-k shows were like.
Full S-K report, tomorrow!
One tiny sour note, the writing contest I entered (Ive had the chance to enter many over the years but always objected, and this is the first time I felt right about the whole thing) was cancelled. And I was going to win that thing! Bad news---they want to re-launch it with a "prestigious university sponsorship". Ugh.
that sucks, hon. i'm sorry.
Thanks hon. It really bothers me. I KNEW I was going to win that thing.
You should just like sign up for another contest, dear.
Yes, in manner of speaking, I should.
The reason Im dissappointed though is this...this sort of thing (literary contest) is ALWAYS run by a college and by people who are convinced they have it all figured out, and are quite frankly the enemies of anything even vaguely creative.
So...I finally find a "contest" run by people who read and enjoy art, and I dont have to box myself into the ever popular themes of romantic entanglement, bush bashing or daddy abused me/mommy didnt love me.
Oh, and it had nothing to do with "Slams" which are a fucking cancer as far as Im concerned.
One reason I never entered one before (as I used to say "I submit to one one), was the fact you have to have studied under someone or have some "qualification" in order to be a valid artist. So, one time 15 years I get my hopes up and it gets cancelled so they can become everything they weren't.
So, (and Im not being pissy, Im being very sincere) if anyone out there knows of any non-university, non-intellectual, non-clever clever "contest" or "forum" I can enter, PLEASE LET ME KNOW! I would like to think there was more than this small time contest.
So, to conclude, yes Tim I probably should.
there's a million contests in existence. about a quarter of a million that would suit yr qualifications. So, OBJECTIVELY, what are your qualifications for a good contest? you dont want it to be university-based, thats one. can it be related to the Newberry Library? what about Poetry Magazine? I dont mean to be repetitive but the qualifications you listed above (other than the college factor) are a bit hazy and could mean anything.
I suppose they are a bit hazy, and its not like Ive been diligent about finding places to submit to.
I would gather the Newberry Library would be cool. I just get the heebie-jeebies about jioning into the "writing establishment" and that attitude that entails. Yep, pretty hazy, I know.
As for Poetry magazine, sometimes when Ive read it, it pleases me, other times I put it back on the shelf right away. But that is a good suggestion.
Andf you arent being repetitive, yr being well, intelligent.
