Intro for Mark

Intro for Mark

Ladies and gentlemen. What you are about to hear is not music, but rather pure emotions manifested into words, designed to infest your minds.

You are about to enter a world full of anger, anguish, disgust, rage, hatred. You will experience what it is to be verbally ripped apart, limb from bloody limb.

Your experience can only be described as brutality. This infestation will race through your veins, consuming your very being. It will torture you, torment your brain, and turn your blood against your heart.

Crash

My eyes open wide
And I’m laying on the street
Hugging the curb.
Inhale deeply and exhale with a cough
Where am I?
Press my palms down
And push myself out of this mess.
Glance around
Try to find something familiar.
A sudden pain in my head
Much like a migraine
Pays a visit.
Clean off my shirt with my hands,
Look down and all I see…

New App

So I found an app that I enjoy using. It’s called BlogBooster. It let’s me manage multiple blog account for $2.99. Blogs include WordPress, Blogger, TypePad and others. I think I’ll keep both the blogger and WordPress sites.

Shitty App

Even though the WordPress app has a page creation feature, I won’t be using it. Mainly because when I put my phone in landscape, I can’t see what I’m typing. If I wanted to do that, I’d close my eyes. Oh well. Hopefully I can find an app that will work with WordPress.

It’s been a long time

Hey there kids! It’s been a long time since I’ve been here. I’ve been busy with finishing up school, working and making time for the girlfriend. Still, those are no excuses. I have to get back on an updating rhythm.

I’m not sure but I think the wordpress iPhone app only let’s me make posts and not pages, so any and all random or planned poems will be in posts. Good night!

Edit: I think I found a way. I’ll test it tomorrow though.

Not Today

My new supervisor tried calling me into work today. I declined. Granted, I wouldn’t mind making some extra money, it’s just that I’m not full-time. A couple weeks ago, they gave the full time position to someone else, though I’m the most qualified person. So my view is this: if you need someone to come in, call in your full timer. Don’t come to me first because I’m most qualified to come in. Give me full time, and then we’ll talk. Plus, I miss my girlfriend. I’d rather see her than deal with anything retail.

In other news, I’m still fighting off a cold I got from my girlfriend. It wasn’t full blown. Just constant coughing. I need to update a new poem on here, just haven’t felt entirely motivated.

Yay! Update!

So after some time of not updating or doing much of anything around here, I posted something new. Also, I, again, have changed the layout. The other layout didn’t display subpages the way I had hoped, where this one does. Spring break was last week, and one would think I would sit down and write something inspiring or motivational or comical, but alas, nothing. Today, however, while sitting in class, I decided to write about my boredom. Hence, your new poem “Wherefore art thou Sleep?”. It’s placed under “Random” because that’s what it is.

A couple of weeks ago, I started writing a poem in my notebook, but stopped elaborating. I didn’t like the direction it took. It started off nicely, but became a bit too detailed. It didn’t seem to flow anymore. Maybe I’ll give it a look later on and make some adjustments.

In different news, my buddy Josh finally got a job after 13 months of nothing. Last night, my girlfriend and I played Munchkin for the first time with some of my friends. I’ve watched my friends play before, and never really took any interest. Last night I decided, “Fuck it, why not?” I’m glad I did. The game is actually fun, but definitely shows your friends will screw you over to keep you from winning. But then again, doesn’t every game do that?

Enough rambling. Until next time ladies and gents!

Been Busy

I changed the theme. I like this layout. Pretty simple and basic. I wish I knew CSS so I could create my own, but that’s too much work. I added a link to Casey Austen’s photography wordpess. She’s a good friend of mine from Iowa and takes incredible pictures. Check it out.

I’ve been wanting to add a poem to the “Random…” page, but I haven’t been able to just sit down and elaborate on the parts I have floating around my head. Hopefully I’m at a computer the next time these words coming floating around.

Another Minor Update

After showing this site to my buddy Jake, I’m going to be adding a page where I’ll be posting some of his work when he sends it to me. It’ll probably be called “Jake’s Comedy.” Who knows? I’ll get that going once he sends me some stuff.

Welcome!

Hello there. This blog is a way for me to express my thoughts and poetry. I know there are other sites out there (ie., poetry.com), but I’ve posted there in the past and keep getting mail about being entered into a contest and such.

I still have to find an appearance that I enjoy looking at, and is relatively easy to navigate between poems I’ve written, and the new stuff posted. Obviously, I’ll make posts pointing out the new pages.
