First day on the blog
Hey all,
This is my first attempt at this blog thing,and i am quite computer illiterate.I wanted to find a way to get people reading my writing,and to get feedback on it as well,whatever it may be.I have around fifty poems published on poets.com under the pen name suisidle,but i am growing tired of the snobbery on the site.The space bar on my keyboard sucks and sometimes i really have to pound on it,so i apologize in advance for any run on words.
I live in ithaca ,ny.A small town upstate an hour south of syracuse.ithaca has been named the "most enlightened city in the US" whatever the hell that means.the town is run by a bunch of stupid hippies and gays and lesbians aren't harrassed here,so i guess that is how we got our "title" . Cornell University and Ithaca College are based here and it brings a new influx of bad drivers and drunken jocks every year and our high school seniors flee the area hoping never to return,and i don't blame them.
It is said that ithaca runs a top one of those magnetic vortex fields where phenominal stuff is said to happen,but i think it is just a freak magnet,because they(the freaks) flock here in droves.i have no idea what i want to do with this thing but i figured it will be something to cure the boredom and to get me writing.
I don't capitalize out of laziness and i figured if e.e.cummings can get away with it than so can i.my punctuation is dreadful,but who really needs it anyway?i have been a heroin addict on and off,for the last ten years or so,and i have some pretty interesting stories to tell.
last year,on sept.8,the nys police kicked in my door,as a result of partying with a friend that ended up dying.now i am a member of ithaca city's treatment court and must toe the line for the next three years.they test my urine three times a week,so it is pretty much impossible to get high,and i don't drink so i guess i will be using this as an escape for the time being.
So any way i will be doing this as often as i can and i will tell an epic tale or two,and i must admit some my poetry is pretty good.i write music so some of them are songs but they still read pretty well.also i will not always write straight forward like this,some of it will be more of a rant,orjust an excercise at being a whacko.feel free to tell me how much you think i suck,because there isn't enough honesty in the world anymore.thanks for reading,and have a great day!
