Bed of Roses

  • Aug. 21st, 2008 at 7:12 AM

Never seen as dazzling beauty as you are
Never met a girl I’d love that much so far
All the gems just fade and pail beside you
I would give all what I have for rendezvous
With the girl that is so gorgeous, but I fail
‘cause your love and dazzling beauty are for sale
And your price is so exorbitant and high
Love is something that I never want to buy

But your bed is made of roses and thorns.
Like a jewelry that flashes and adorns
Roll in luxury but your back feels a pain
Your are beautiful, but, once, you’ll start to drain

My heart cracks. It starts to bleed and hesitate
Love may turn into a close friend of hate
It is not a thing that you can sell and buy
Money talks, but then the love begins to die
I can find a remedy for broken heart
And my love can disappear and depart
It may quickly come and it may quickly go
All is not gold that is glittering, I know

But your bed is made of roses and thorns.
Like a jewelry that flashes and adorns
Roll in luxury but your back feels a pain
Your are beautiful, but, once, you’ll start to drain

zazzle, lulu, esty...where else?

I am looking for other online sites to sell my photos in various forms (postcards, cards, mouse pads, calendars). Besides the above places, where else could I go?

Thanks!

These are twelve mininalist poems put together as a You Tube Video if you care to watch it. The video is about 45 seconds long.

LENTIL SOUP MAN. Lentil soup. My amazing man made us a big pot of lentil soup. I gave him a big hug when he was making it and said "you're my Jacob!"

I lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvve him. He's playing GTA IV while I sit and do my internet stuff. And the soup is delicioussss and nutritiousss.

Lots of water, fellas. And lots of good food. And by good, I mean HEALTHY and in MODERATION. Don't overdo it. Stay healthy.

And don't do no crimes, k? Don't get confused-- Liberty City is not real life. No, that old lady with the shopping cart? Do not hit her and steal her purse. You WILL pay for it.

The video games these days, they fuck with reality. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.

...Now he's playing darts in some bar in the game. I'm gonna go back to Facebook chatting with whoever's online. Btw, loyal LJ friends, if you haven't already-- please give me your names or add me on FB-- I'm Yaffa Lurie in the Bellingham, WA network. K?

I've been pretty OCD lately, but for some reason I've been reading more quickly, when I usually read slowly during more obsessive compulsive periods. Maybe it's because I was reading Snuff by Chuck Palahniuk [which, by the way, got an "ok" rating on my scale], which is minimalist fiction, quick sentences, repetitions and all that...But then I returned the book, picked up American Psycho [FINALLY I'm reading it. I know, it's a disgrace I haven't read it yet] and started reading within that same hour. Kinda gave me a push. I dunno, maybe it's just me.

I think I'm caring more about the things I've always wanted to care about on a certain level, but didn't take them in enough to really care on a deep level. And now I care about them.

Fuck. Stop thinking and relax. I gotta figure out how to go upon doing that...What's wrong with me.

At It Again

  • Aug. 20th, 2008 at 3:11 PM
Revisions to my latest edit of my short story, "A Queen's Tale" are done.  I just finished typing up a cover letter too, so now I just gotta print everything out and mail it off.  My next issue is if I print the 53 page manuscript (around 10,300 words) out at home, or just take it to Kinkos or something and have it printed there.  It'd be nice not to have to deal with taking it to Kinkos, but then at the same time it'd be just my luck I'd run out of ink around page 30 or something.

Then I gotta figure out how I wanna mail it.  I asked a few writer friends a couple of months ago about the best way, and I was told by everyone not to bind it (going against what I learned in my screenplay writing class), so that means sticking it all in a big ol' envelope or box of some kind. This will be the first time for me sending out a manuscript via snail mail.  All the other times have been electronically.  The magazine I'm sending this one to doesn't take electronic submissions, which is fine--this is a good learning experience for me.  I'd like to get this mailed out asap, perhaps by this weekend--or on Monday the latest. 

Then I get to play the Waiting Game for about eight weeks (and to quote Homer Simpson, "The Waiting Game sucks!  Let's play Hungry Hungry Hippos!")

Speaking of the Waiting Game, technically I should be hearing back from Weird Tales within the next week or so if they wanted my short story, "Slow and Steady."

I took this by accident.

While trying to take this )

Kind of makes me wonder what other strange faces I'm pulling without my knowledge.
