Here are 3 poems, written quickly and posted to either to my facebook page, or twitter stream. It seems that since I wrote my post on iambic heptameter, I’ve been stuck writing most my poetry in a sorta semi-rhyming, faux-blank verse version of it (I don’t know the term for it:)) I also learned that [...]

However, to understand the name you must understand a coupla things first: What’s In a Name? Really? [...]

Recently, I’ve been trying to write poetry about the ocean for possible submission to Ocean Magazine. It’s turning out to be something of a journey for me. Read my thoughts on the matter after the jump :) (meaning click the damn link to read more!)

Listeriosis, a serious infection usually caused by eating food contaminated with the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes, is an important public [...]

Sigh…I ran into all types of issues while trying to put this track together…but I won’t bore you with the details :) I thought this track up while…walking down an empty hallway at work. It was as if the environment lent itself to self-evaluation. So, I asked questions…but the hallway remained silent :( As usual, [...]

So, I hooked up my microphone for the first time in this new room just to see how it sounds. I had the urge to wanna start recording again so I made this test track using some old lyrics on an old Big B beat. The result? Well…terrible. But I expected that. The problem is, [...]

Child of Kings is actually the last track I finished for my Track Every Other Day Challenge – It’s short and quick like the others in that series and it’s done over a Three-Six Mafia beat I found in one of these instrumental collections of mines. It’s one song that I was actually really proud [...]
