ecopoetics
i was supposed to write an ecopoetic poem, but i put it off to the last minute and came up with something that has nothing to do with anything. it's not finished:
SPRING BREAK ‘09!
we left it was 5:30 and grey and Gray
L.A. was (approximately) 1303.61 miles
away with the stratus and snacks and gas
packed for a trip down
95, 495, 640, 40, 59, 459, 10, 610, 310, 90
South and West
with no stops except for gas
and cigarettes
and coffee
and Foam Henge
and buffets
and stretching
and Knoxville
and bathrooms / restrooms
if absolutely
necessary.
we’re going to build so many houses
tomorrow! we said not now!
at night with the mechanical
bull and dancing
on bars and test tube shots
from bras and HAND GRENADES
on bourbon street with manrobots / manfemales/ with manshirt-
less and homeless(er) waiting
in the blue bayou under
an hour away.
Hi volunteers we’re so happy you made it, we hope you have a great time this week pretending to work and care about the people in need. Now, we know that you just want to get out of here as fast as possible, so we’re going to provide you with free housing and a very simple but limited workload in hopes that you don’t destroy our progress. And please don’t forget to donate your money so that we can pay professionals to correct your inevitable mistakes. Don’t worry, they’ll come after hours while you’re on our beaches eating at quasi “local” restaurants with prime snapshot opportunities that prove you are certainly not a tourist.
Thank you!
“Bon Jovi brought the crack!”
the locals say
something about destruction
and culture or environment and
not exactly the best habit-
tats for human-ity,
BUT the Jovi donated one million
dollars Wade’s Hawaiian shirt argues—
without him this very development
wouldn’t be possible.
without him there’d be no homes
on Bon Jovi Blvd.
there’d be no trim to repaint
with tiny overused brushes—
don’t touch that circular saw,
or hammer, or wood,
or anything,
just paint and repaint and re-repaint
then shovel
dirt from this pile
to this pile,
idiots.
Wow these southerners sure are
backwards we comment in
awful southern accents:
They park cars
in rivers and roofs
kept in basements for
safekeeping, no wonder they
so desperately need our help
and overarching

Too busy to stop, Never too busy to be Patriotic
Just finished up my new print, not the cleanest work but for now its 100% free, these 25 or so will be posted around campus or given to people that are proud to be American, which should be everyone. Half sheet 15x20 screenprint. A layer of gloss transparent goldish text that reads AINT NO SHAME IN OUR GAME in the right light.

The Importance of going to Art School
It gives the opportunity to express my love for great things in different mediums. Todays lesson was PUPPETS, probably the best piece of school work I've ever done. This is for a level 400 art history class.

Pressing Business
So I wont trash talk too hard, but after my design being denied the first time I gave her a simple clean card that's classic but still with a sense of hand, and she had the nerve to trash it in the crit, well anyone who knows me knows her card wasn't much better. This will officially be the last time i design something for someone I havn't offered to. So these are my and her letterpressed business cards for class. Also, yes i go to art school, my artistic angles are top notch.

Now in business for well over 31 years. In June PW printed an article in which local men claimed they could buy crystal meth from dealers inside the bathhouse. Most recently two new Extra Large VIP Rooms have been added. The downstairs area is outfitted like a tropical resort. The LION ROOM and the BEAR ROOM. Men wear only towels for the most part, though a few add baseball caps or flip-flops. Hookups happen quickly. There are over 60 rooms located on the three upper floors. Some carry tubes of lubricant with them or bottles of amyl nitrate, which they inhale to enhance their orgasms. There is NO MORE Carpeting anywhere except for the stairs. They ejaculate freely on the floor. We have stopped ALL SMOKING and NO GUM CHEWING is allowed either. You are welcome to provide you own Sling and Rope, or you can rent a sling from us! Some men lie on their stomachs, advertising themselves as "bottoms" or receivers for anal sex. A friendly, courteous and informative Staff await your visit. Others sit up in bed as an invitation to those who walk past. Bring a friend or meet one here. Getting into the bathhouse is easy.
No details provided.
So the assignment for this week was:
Following Mark Nowak's lead, create a portrait of a place by collaging/splicing together three or four different textual sources (one of which can your own text). Post to the Discussion Board by Monday March 2.
I decided to use Muscle and Strength's Gym Finder, Club Body Center II's website, and an article from Philadlephia Weekly. None of the words are my own. I sure hope you like it:
