crazzee crazzee fun

san francisco places that have my books

sunday funnies

dancing friends dancing in the sky together

cosmic bummer funnies

my first ever comic book has been re-released. the first print run murdered a printer due to its printing specs. this left us like leaves in the wind. my secretary informed me of a nice place up north. we now present our new edition. although we regret the death of a printer we somehow know it was a worthy sacrifice for good literature. after all, good literature is the lord's will.
please enjoy

my friends at the new jedi order
put up an edit of "furnace" online.
so many things this year already.
new books in the works.
a streams of songs and poems about breakfast.
even a nice song about jurassic park part three.
i recently went to LA to read the literature that the good lord compelled me to write.
i will be back in LA for a cool show later this year organized by Keenan Marshall Keller.
i've shaved my legs again and again and now have one leg and an extra toothpick.
it prevents bad breath. that's the kicker.

sunday funnies (with danny espinoza)

funnies brought to you by Danny Espinoza. he has cool dreams.

all the girls look like me

inside me

sunday funnies

why sunday funnies?

>

dear readers,

i have been stopped in the street various times with concerns over the origin of sunday funnies.
i was trapped in an airport between planes on the way to new york city. all i had was a specific  section of the newspaper. boredom pushed me to see what the funnies section had in store. it was mediocre, bland and so by-the-books it numbed my tongue.
so i opted to start a funnies section right here.
it may be on an irregular schedule but it will also hopefully be a nice respite from the tissue paper we have now masquerading as funnies.
we will have some friends and guests participating too.

if you feel inclined to submit, then please submit at shalo_p at yahoo.com
these may be rare instances but just make it awesome or something.

aside from that, thank you for reading and see you soon.

hell prevails,

sunday funnies

last night

i wrote two songs last night: CLUB FUN, about a club 40 floors
underground where you hide sobs between bass beats. with no room to
dance you stand then eventually lie down, where a stranger holds your
hands as you suffocate within a crowd. other song was MY BOYFRIEND,
about a girl so suspicious of her boy that she opts to destroy him due
to paranoia about a manual that makes a man perfect, preferring him
dead or broken than perfect for her, yet subjectively soulless. it was
a complex structure interweaving hatred and longing. 

both are gone.
this is the only way i can sing them to you now.

OTHER CINEMA

other cinema is having a fundraiser today after their bi-annual new experimental works screening. i have no higher set of words for the sort of courage it takes to put together a venue with as much integrity, consistency and substance as those put together by these folks. craig baldwin has crafted an institution for demented mutants, a haven for the indexically damned and a beginning for anyone with something new, half-forgotten and interesting to say about the insurmountable waking horrors of life and the sheer diversity of its raptures.
