I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Random stuff:
I own a signed Vonnegut screenprint. That makes me happy.
Once upon a time, long ago, I got to set up the Dali Jewel Exhibit, which means I actually got to fondle every piece of art. (Jealous?)
I have a restless soul...sometimes I think it's a curse.
My brain revolts against me against me on a regular basis...and wins. *sigh*
Is it possible to be born sad?
I make stupid jokes all the time just to cover my true feelings....because who the hell wants to see that mess?
(last one) I used to love that I stay up late because it gave me time to think....but now? I hate that I stay up late....because it gives me time to think.
Here's our website, It rocks:
http://www.faulkingtruth.com/

This is weird, in the "it's a crazy world category." I got quoted in the Denver Post, as if what I have to say actually matters. I know what you're thinking, I was thinking the exact same thing: Outcry grows over naked short sales
And another one, all the way from Canada, eh: Saskatoon Phoenix Star
Okay, first I'm going to post some articles from the website. I hand-picked these, some are serious, some not, some are political, some not, etcetcetc, blahblahblah, and so on and so on. We'll start with a few, and add more when I get bored again.Here we go:
Here's a little rant about how faulking greedy rich people can be:
The Lords of Gaylordia
This is one about how damn lazy everyone on the internet is, and how "back in the day" we would hit the streets in protest, instead of sitting around whining about everything on MySpace:
Taking it to the Streets
Here's an article that keeps coming back to haunt me. I wrote it in October of 2005, and I seem to relive it every couple of months. I'm living it this very minute. It sucks.
"For the Greater Good"
This one just is:
Talking To God
This one is interesting because it was written over a year ago, and just now seems to be closer to coming true. I hate it when that happens.
Apocalypse Now?
This one is on the website, but I'm linking the blog version from here because it triggered a lot of heated discussion. Heated discussion is almost better than sex (almost).
Woman is the Nigger of the World
And May All Your Christmases be White....
George Talks to God....
Work Hard (And Other Observations of The Obvious)
Fear and Loathing in the 21st Century
I'm not schizophrenic...and neither am I
MySpace is the Devil
Coming Out
The Radical Middle
Nowhere to Hide, Ever (A fist full of love) , By Mike Bohling
Now on to the obligatory "About Me" bullshit:
Let's start with the obvious...I'm here to connect with like-minded people, not to hit on them. There's more to life than cheap thrills.
And....if you haven't already, go read Kurt Vonnegut's "Slapstick", or if you have A.D.D. and can't get through an entire novel, read "Harrison Bergeron" from "Welcome to the Monkey House." If you don't "get it" after you read either one of those stories, don't even bother. Here's an article from my website that explains it in excruciating detail. It's called "'The Secret Vonnegut Society' or 'Subversion as an Art Form'" :
I will accept people who get Charlie Kaufman as extra credit.
I have a website called The Faulking Truth, and it's my passion right now. There are some amazing people contributing to the site, and I love them all, even the ones who just hang out and tell us how great we are....especially the ones who tell us how great we are.
Um....we're not really that great, but we're trying. Really, we're dysfunctional, and kind of proud of it. I mean, who wouldn't be?
We're getting half a million hits a month, but I still don't know why. Maybe it's because dysfunctional people really are in control of the Universe.
I don't like yuppies, Neocons, and self-righteous religious zealots.....and people who don't use blinkers when they turn.
I have people living in my head, but for the most part, I ignore them. One of them somehow got a cell phone, and calls me from inside of my brain. It's creepy, but it makes me feel wanted.
I love love, I live for passion, I wish the world was a better place, and that there was more happiness, less greed, and no suffering. I write because it keeps me sane, but sometimes even that doesn't do the trick.
That's all for now. Come visit our website, and add your name to my friend list.

Annnnndddd....there's a new TogiNet chat feature so those of you who are too chicken to call in can sign on and insult, question, and stalk us during our shows. Just click on "LIVE CHAT" at the top of the TogiNet.com website. It's easy, and you don't have to sign up!!! So...stalk me AND remain anonymous at the same time. Cool, huh?

I write a column for NONzine in addition to my work on The Faulking Truth . You can read either one online, and NONzine is available throughout the Oklahoma City Metro area.

The first book release from our company TogiEntertainment :

"We plunge from page to page not because of the young diarist's despondency - depression is not especially attractive or compelling - but because we are fascinated to see that while she is fending off demons with the one hand, she is writing verse with the other. Chelsea Marie has performed an act of literary bravado worthy of that archetypal angst-ridden 16-year-old Holden Caulfield - but hers is more real by far."

~ Excerpt from Texas Monthly review of What Gives?, September, 2007

Add yourself to What Gives? MySpace friends list and we'll keep you updated on promotions, reviews, etc, and even post some excerpts now and then. Click here: What Gives?

Here's a short film my ultra-talented daughter Kelsey did for the book:

...and an article she wrote for NONzine about What Gives?, complete with awesome artwork and selections from the book: Holding Hands, By Kelsey Renee Faulk

..

And our second book, "Whatever Happened to Peggy Sue?" is now available!!! Major controversy has surrounded the book even before it was released. Don't believe me? Just google "Peggy Sue" and you'll see. Click below to buy it now.

I'm basically into art, writing, and music....and talking way too much about politics, life, passion, and other stuff that most people don't get at all. And in my spare time....making people laugh (mostly at me, not with me). *sigh*

Oh yeah....I want to change the world. That's all, no big deal. (Editor's note: As it turns out, changing the world is not as easy as one might imagine. I'll keep you posted on any new developments.)

I'd like to meet:

"I don’t know where I’m going, I don’t know where I’ve been, I’m not even certain where I am right now. I am a lost soul among a billion other souls wandering aimlessly on a planet that is hurtling through space in a galaxy that is simply a speck of dust in a Universe that has no real purpose or direction."
~Russell M. Tharp, Esq

"Someone to whom we feel profoundly connected, as though the communication and communing that take place between us were not the product of intentional efforts, but rather a divine grace. This kind of relationship is so important to the soul that many have said there is nothing more precious in life."
~Thomas Moore

Shanty Towns in Southern California. Grapes of Wrath, anyone?

I believe that inside of every frightened, neurotic human being is a hero struggling to get out. That's the person I want to meet.

But more specifically, Kurt Vonnegut, someone who embraced change...but always managed to remain the same. May he rest in Peace. And Bob Geldof, who should be the inspiration for anyone who has a beating heart. And RFK, who taught me that passion never dies.
