This vine is older than me, and I haven't been able to get anything from it. This year looks promising.
Short story, The Exile
Looking back on older stuff I wrote between beers on lonely spring evenings. I wish I could write something with meaningfulness right now.
And I wanted to be a writer. Almost everybody was a writer. Not everybody thought they could be a dentist or an automobile mechanic but everybody knew they could be a writer. Of those fifty guys in the room, probably fifteen of them thought they were writers. Almost everybody used words and could write them down, i.e., almost everybody could be a writer. But most men, fortunately, aren???t writers, or even cab drivers, and some men ??? many men ??? unfortunately aren???t anything.

Iceland flickr sets
While Europe was being attacked by killer cucumbers and while the British government was continuing its 1980's cuts, I was in Iceland with my trip and xa2.

On the Road movie ramblings
Finished rereading On the Road today and didn???t fail to notice a teaser poster had wormed its way onto the net. I don???t mean to hype- I'm curious to see what Francis Ford Coppola and Walter Salles have put together, yet dreading it with amusement over the fascination of actress, Kristen Stewart; a hideous amount of blogging and flame wars over that cast listing. Not everyone???s favourite actress or not, the cast is diverse, even Steve Buscemi makes an appearance and besides it all overlooks the author and the book. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
