The cover image of my poetry chapbook...






my poetry chapbook hath been released....for details, go to: here.


I'm going to re-post the blurb that a very cool cat composed for my humble poetic pamphlet....and now, here's Tony-

In "Caterwaul From Below," Steve O'Connor seeks to find the cosmic in the mundane – finding inspiration and insight in random encounters with friends, homeless people, barroom nights, baseball games, and interactions with future and former lovers. His work fuses simply observed details of such daily events with philosophical insight into the workings of the world, the hunt for inspiration (see especially "Chasing The Muse"), and the unrelenting desire for connection to something larger. In this collection, O'Connor recounts the opening steps of a lifelong journey toward that connection, and invites the reader along. I invite you, as well, to join him on the journey.

( about Tony Brown )

i think i've forgotten how to write poetry...maybe i never knew how. I've always just vomited words onto paper...sorta like what i'm doing right now.

hi...I have an unexpected day off, some i'm going to while away several hours building a playlist at lastfm.com which can be found here so, if you're inclined to hear some (of what I consider to be) good tunes, check it out.

I just stumbled onto a picture of what would've been my wetdream (when I was a skateboarder)...and no, I'm not saying that in the sexual sense either...fuckinhell, if only my knees weren't shot to shit.



explanation of what you're lookin' at

Here's one of the funniest movie spoofs I've seen in quite some time.



THERE WILL BE BUD!

You NEED to listen to THIS SONG




I want to hear the man in the suit say it's all wrong
I want to hear a man with millions of dollars say he hurts people
I want to hear the government say
We kill

Even better than Look At This Fucking Hipster...I bring to you:

GOTHS IN HOT WEATHER!!!!!




Why, just look at gentleman with fine taste in music:



And there's a stunning redhead too...



Why, there's even a handy link to a goth classification chart which depicts the variety I feel closest affinity to (with?)...
the trad goth

"....I watched you get the things that you could buy
Raise your arms and try to fly
Face turned up towards the sun
Nothing that you dare deny
Because it's hunger that feeds you, hunger that bleeds you
Falling forward into nothing catching at the air
And everything still out of reach..."
New Model Army- Wanting(audio link)
