You Should Be A Poet
You craft words well, in creative and unexpected ways.
And you have a great talent for evoking beautiful imagery...
Or describing the most intense heartbreak ever.
You're already naturally a poet, even if you've never written a poem. What Type of Writer Should You Be?

My Interests

Books (books are good!), coffee (mmm ... particularly, with a brownie), running, weightlifting, dancing, breaking things (not living things), art, chess, law, love (fortunately, I don't have that problem right now. I took a couple aspirins and it went away), politics (not so optimisitic), writing (getting better), and witty conversation (I tried to think of something witty to put in here but I couldn't come up with anything--insert awkard pause). Irreverence: so long as its clever or fun. Fight the power! Down with the man! Oh, wait a minute. I am the man.

I'd like to meet:

You!

Music:

Banging pots so to annoy the neighbors.

Movies:

If I tell you, I'll have to kill you.

Television:

I'm trying to cut back. I'm a t.v. adict, if there is such a thing. Therefore, I will not list my favorite shows for fear of a pavlovian response.

Books:

I REALLY LOVE READING. I'm not trying to be pretentious by listing these; just trying to let you know what I'm into. Some of the authors I have read are: Orwell, D.H. Lawrence, Dostoevsky, Victor Hugo, Jane Austin, Milton, Walt Whitman, Nietzsche, Foucault, James Joyce, Eugenides, Pearl Buck, Flaubert, Henry James, Oscar Wilde, Dante, Chekhov, Mary Shelley, Steinbeck, Goethe, Gogol, Hesse, Twain, Hemingway, and William Faulkner. I'm currently reading: For Whom The Bell Tolls, The Varieties of Religious Experience, and tons of stuff on immigration policy. Perhaps, my two favorite authors are Dostoevsky and Orwell. Of Dostoevsky's works I have read, The Idiot, Crime and Punishment, The House of the Dead, and The Brothers Karamazov. I have read Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm. Anyone, even remotely interested in politics must read Orwell. A new favorite: A Farewell to Arms.

Heroes:

All those who give, without the desire for reward or fame. Particularly, if it's me they want to give to.

The state of knowledge

Some thought-provoking dialogue from a book I'm reading.  I left the first word out because the logic or illogic would be the same for any word/words.   "&&?  What's that?" "I don't kno...

On loving someone

Something I've read that got me thinking; I realize I'm once again being overly sentimental. It's about loving someone. The words moved me. Pardon my romanticism. Judge for yourself; for here they...

Good News!

Would you rather be the clod, the pebble, or neither?

This is a poem; I've read recently which succinctly pits two antipodal positions on love.  It seems to me that both can be unhealthy and that most of us are guilty of wallowing in each of the two...

Bruce Sprinsteen on Creativity

I was watching Bruce Springsteen explain the meaning behind many of his favorite songs.  He went on and on about political subtexts, etc.  Then he asked: "did I think of any of this when I w...

Apropos of nothing

I always thought that matter had 3 states: solid, liquid, and gas.  The other day, some one said that there are actually 4. The fourth being plasma.
