EVERYONE, DRAW MONSTERS

oh, hey blog.

don't worry ben. I'm starting the revolution.

Heathen Holystone

I am
inclined to regard the Father with doubt
and the wheel of heaven, goddess of sunrise,
with duty. Our Lady, take it where you may, where
you will, because we have been dishonest. we are not
inclined the know that one leg is not the other.
I will
repeat, myself, that simile. reluctantly repeated,
the heavens are like that simile but out here in deep black
earth we know that (How unusual!) music
speaks well of men.
I was
taken by the sun, have never accepted visitors.
having lost the book of myths
I have found the scroll, the word, have learned
to play the burning question, to be
as I will, have learned to tread under scorn.
I am
under oath,
and I must tell you
that all angels
were not women but
may as well have been.

so, i was babysitting the other day.  i asked the little girl, vivienne, age five, if she liked to draw.  she informed me that she preferred to color.  thus, i drew her a picture to color.  the result is the monster below (coloring of words and background by me):

little did she know that she was working on an advertisement.  

meanwhile, i had been encouraging her to draw something from her own imagination.  i asked if she would draw me a monster of her own.  vivienne said that she didnt know what monsters are supposed to look like.  i said that monsters can look like anything at all.  finally, while i was doodling a dinosaur for her to color, she handed me this (drawing by lil vivienne, coloring by me): 

i told her it was the best monster i'd seen in a long time.  ain't it?

GHOSTF_CKERS!

you may have heard this dirty word on the radio, or been forced to listen to it stomp around on the funk'n'waffles stage, or perhaps some shadowy hipster whispered the curse in your partying ears.  

who is this GHOSTF_CKERS, you ask?  

why, it's the next best f_cking rock'n'roll extravaganza to hit the 'cuse since Lou Reed (received his honorary degree in english).

based upon the ghost-hunting principles of one Danila Usov:

GHOSTF_CKERS acts as an intermediary between the living and the dead.  

GHOSTF_CKERS primarily performs with and for commonplace ghosts of every walk of life. 

GHOSTF_CKERS consists of musicians, photographers, film-makers, and even an online college radio show.

GHOSTF_CKERS makes so much noise, nobody in the graveyard gets a wink.

GHOSTF_CKERS!
