No One Knows What to Say in the Loser's Lockerroom--M. Ali

About Me

"I wanted so bad tuh I wanted so bad tuh But i just couldn't shut up i just couldn't shut up." ...to be sung in a sexy voice. My voice.

My Interests

Reading. Writing. Listening to music. Bathing. Sex. Dancing around alone because i'm too embarassed to dance with anyone. Fantasizing. Laughing at my thoughts. Thinking. Watching. Studying. Hoping. Yearning. Working. Smoking. Sleeping. Dreaming. Talking...slowly. Getting turned on. Listening to the radio. Being enthused. Loving.

I'd like to meet:

Shit. Shakespeare? I don't really want to say who i want to meet.

Music:

Destroyer, Workshop, Frog Eyes, Camper Van Beethoven, Pearls Before Swine, Necromitron, Necrophagist, Neal Hefti, the Broke Revue, Starlite Desperation, Bad Brains, Clouddead, Themselves (etc.)...I'll try to change this again soon--you know, when the fire of inspiration so moves me.

Books:

I like the best american poetry 2006. I've been reading and studying modern poetry for probably about ten years (not counting high school). I guess it's finally starting to resonate. Thanks.
