About Me

Give us a read at AntiMuse.org

We've moved our blog. Check it out!

Many nights of drinking alone spawned AntiMuse. Intended as a literary journal for those who don’t like literary journals, we present an irreverent, too-smart-for-those-around-us world view.We question the classics. We mock the literary scene from afar, poking it with sharpened sticks and making fun of its mother. We are Patient Zero, spreading the AntiMuse disease like a syphilis carrier at the swingers’ party. We love extended metaphors involving sex, drugs and music. But not rock, because rock is dead. We try to fit the cliché. We try to break the mold. We’re so confused and conflicted.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Authors, writers, poets, photographers, interesting people, musicians, Gene Rayburn.

My Blog

Bitchin' about submittin'

Everything you ever wanted to know about porn

Finally, a website that answers the question, "Are fluffers normal on porn sets?" The partial answer: Not anymore. On a "regular" one-day wonder, you often have more cast members than just two, so th...
