Hey all,If anyone's reading this or anything else. I just found a pretty good contemporary poet, Kevin Young.He's got a "bluesy" style that manipulates the use of off beat and off-spa(tial)ce endlines. I would explain my take (I stress that last bit) on his style, but I have to go to bed.Anywho, here is a one poem from his work "To Repel Ghosts: the remix" a collection of poems that emulates

I went to hear Noam Chomsky yesterday. He had been at Iowa City the day before, and 500 people were turned away. So, though he spoke at 8, I was in line at 5:45--I wasn't taking any chances. I had a book I had to read for class with me, so it wasn't bad, and it paid off. I was third row center in a huge auditorium. His talk was amazing. He focused on globalization. I'm so obsessed with him. He

Hey everyone. I saw our new blogger--Hey Robert--and I thought I'd post a picture of me and my wife Laura.Robert, I think I remember you from Dr. Salting's Sociolinguistic's course, where you had a project that dealt with the linguistics of humor. I believe I also went to two, yes two, English Club meetings and you were there. The End.So yeah, it seems that you are in kind of the same bind

Most excellent to see a new face on the blog (literally)! robert you are more than welcome here any time, you bring a good kind of new energy to the blog. The four of us have become rather like a quartet of old farts who've known each other forever, we all know where each other are at, (on the porch) what we're each doing (chewing snuff and swearing at little kids) and what we all like to do

On my mp3 player right now, I´ve got At the drive-inn, Radiohead, The Shins, and The White Stripes. Maybe I´m not prepared just yet for summer. I like to think that time will stand still until I find a job, allowing me to start the summer with the job and a paycheck. Not so sure that is going to happen, though I´ve got a will in my chest trying to fracture the space-time continuum while I job

I can feel it is damn near summer because I just put Nirvana Unplugged in my cd player in my car. Early summer/late spring is feeling good.My major professor and I had our abstract accepted for a conference in Puerto Rico. I'm excited to go in July.Erik, did you get my postcard? I love the way the staged is marketed by the Hibbing folks as his first performance stage--the bastards booed the man

Barcelona is the place to be right now, kind of world-wide. My friend in Seattle confirms that everyone she knows wants to move to Barcelona. When and how did this happen? Barcelona is the second most popular tourist destination in the world, bought by selling the salt-bake sun long holidays.We sublease our apartment, so I don´t pay any rent.

Perhaps if it could be remembered in another way, maybe the stories would come out cleaner. There was a time when light was all around you, when pages would swirl and twist in the wind, only to come to rest in a frustrating order. You were young when it happened. The fleeting remembrance of your first dream left you shaking in the dark. Nothing made sense, but nothing was out of the question.

Yes, I am thinking about buying a journal. I haven't had one since about the 7th grade, but given my current hermit like status it seems fitting. Pretty soon I'll be listening to sappy music and hoarding cats but for now just the journal.Kyle visited the lovely city of Ames a few weeks ago.

Hey Erik,By no means am I inferring anything, when I specifically ask you if you have ever drank "Shiner Bock" beer, based out of Texas?A buddy of mine here, who is from that area, introduced it to me. It's damn good.Also, I am jealous of steps 1-4. You suck, and you should ......, well I'll stop there. I just got a glimpse of Mt. Hood today (the clouds were gone for once!), and Hood was

Wow.I feel quite boring, after I read everyone elses posts.Although, I am not envious, because, I suppose that I have my own crazy path, including bills, eBay, loving my dear wife (who now blogs), the pursuit of wisdom, the pursuit of music (I am now in a band), and the everlasting pursuit of God (which encompasses everything in the former).I wish I could elaborate further, but I am at work

I suppose you might have the DVD or something; at least I remember you loving Dylan? The first 15 minutes or so captures Hibbing, as it was and is, and how Dylan pretty much hated it and didn't feel at home until

Anybody read Bret Easton Ellis' book Less Than Zero? It's a mid-eighties dark almost documentary-esque book about drugs and a life of priviledge.

Hey all,Kris, I got your revision. I read it during my break, here at the aiport. Unfortunately, I cannot comment on it, since this puter only has Word Viewer 97, but it is on its way. (I think its friggin great).Well, I was working this morning (5am), and found a book of haikus. The author, David Bader, wrote 100 or so haikus that sum up classic literature peices. I copied down my faves:

Hey all,As you may or may not know, I currently work (for two more weeks) at Powell's Bookstore, an independent bookstore here in Oregon. Anyways, I thought it was a pretty cool day at work. Chuck Palahniuk (author of Fight Club, Choke, and Haunted, etc.) came into the store to sign some copies. He just dropped by, (I guess he does that, since he is from Portland) and grabbed what was in stock

good to hear from everyone, sorry i've been a lazy ass. Kris's post with the link to the Jet teacher took me out of hibernation though. Its really weird, because I have within the last 2 weeks decided to pursue a job through Jet and go to Japan. I had to go back through the posts twice to make sure I hadn't already said that, but it doesn't look like i had. So Kris, that site was both

The highlights including the funny pastor, air conditioned church, bride's veil, and my shoes-they were smokin.

I don't really know what the deal is with Africa. I've always wanted to go to Morocco, but lately it's become more of a whole Africa thing. I saw Hemmingway's The Green Hills of Africa in the bookstore the other day and I was like man all signs are pointing to Africa. Plus I read a book that took place there, and my friend had a dream we were researching Kenya. So, I don't know it just seems

Hi Everyone:What is up? Well I am two weeks into my four week teaching session, and it is not going by fast enough. I cannot wait until it is over. Then, I will only have four weeks left of a class that I actually like (advanced academic writing) and then nothing for the next six weeks! I really like this class because it's actual writing rather than just the theory stuff I had last semester.

Douglas Adams is a genius. I read the book(s) about two-three years ago. Just once for me, though. I have a tendency to read things just once, sadly. I'm not much for reliving the same book over and over. (Maybe that's a problem with my education.) I don't remember anything at all about the books, really. I would like to see the movie, though, but I'm sure it pales in comparison to the wit

Thanks for the help Erik. I'm gonna check out his blog right now. He came to our school and was a doll. I too will miss Hunter. I was woken up this morning at 2:30 and told to get on the computer to see if it was true. Happy Presidents' Day and Malcolm X DaySarah

hey guys, chris I like your flash fiction piece, I've always found that genre to be so visual, I have a feeling that if one were to read the written portion of an episode of say....cowboy beebop, that it would be a kick ass flash fiction piece. I wish i knew how to make animation. To me it seems like the ultimate medium for a good story.sarah, here is Mr. Spinuzzi's blog found with a simple

Hey Everyone,I realize this isn't much of a poetry group, with the exception of Kris and myself. Well, I guess maybe Robert, but I digress. Here is a flash fiction piece I just wrote last night. It may not be the best, but I hope it is interesting and proliferates a thought or two.Comments, questions, etc. are welcomed and wanted.Enjoy.The Beauty of God in MarriageBy Chris LindgrenA young wife

Now I'm the one that hasn't posted in a long time. It's been over a month for me, but surely I put some comments in someone's blog between then and now.Anyway, updates:I'm reading a few things right now: A book of poetry by Baudelaire (Thanks Robert), a theo-philosophy book by St. Augustine, some lingusitics stuff (comparative linguistics mostly).I recently completed the 50 8-line stanza epic "

Hello Robert: You actually met Erik at the Turf with me one time. He and I were waiting before our linguistics class (probably not drinking even though we should have been), and you stopped in to eat and sat with us and chatted. Your project sounds really interesting. Way to keep it creative. My address is 606 Luther Drive Apartment 225 Ames, IA 50010. Take care, Sarah

Hello! Hey, thanks for letting me in. I am going to read all the back posts so I can catch up on the conversation! I think the only person I don't know here is Erik... A little bit about where I'm at. I am going to move to Seattle or Spain, depending on some circumstances. I have planned to leave for Seattle twice and both times, it didn't quite work out. So now it looks like I might have

Oh Erik it was so good to hear from you and of course Kris and Chris too. It was a good vote of confidence after a really shitty couple of weeks. This semester is so hard. These two theory classes are unendingly impossible for me. I have seriously never felt so stupid in my entire life. And everybody keeps saying "I'm sure everybody feels like that" or "or it just takes time to adjust."

Hey all, I've never been good with titles, so I'm sorry. Erik, I'm glad the online world is more accesible. I think we've all been busy. Just to update my life standings: Laura and I are doing great. I just had my 24th birthday on Jan. 27th. (I feel it.) Laura bought me C.S. Lewis' "The Screwtape Letters" and the entire set of "The Chronicles of Narnia"--lots of reading to

hey guys, still alive, though why i should want to be is a formidable question, this is the first time i've checked the blog since i moved to steamboat, no computer at home and no car makes it difficult to get all the way across town to the library and get a computer excuses excuses right? anyways i'm now at work breaking the cardinal rule so don't even have a chance to read the recent posts...

Hi Everyone: Ah the new semester begins. You would all love to be in my classes-both rhetorical theory courses. I have no idea what any of these articles mean. And, in about a half hour I have to go discuss them and try not to sound like a total loser. Well, life is pretty much the same here in Iowa. Over the break I went home. It was ass-blistering cold in Hibbing. And, for extra fun, we

Sup everyone, Erik, I certainly hope that you are not dead, but blog-wise, you certainly have flatlined. Although, I do know how tough it can be to get to a computer if one does not have the oh-so comfy and convenient access at home. Kris, I am sorry there wasn't a caddy under the tree this year. The question is what color is the caddy of your dreams? I still have not had a chance to sit and

I trust everyone had a helluva New Years and a blessinguva Christmas. (Yeah, I changed my adjective for your sake, Chris. Wouldn't want to create some type of terrible...what's the word...oxymoron. Yeah, that's it.) Update on Robert's e-mail, Erik: RobertWRogge@hotmail.com The NDSU one that he had been using is set to expire. He graduated in the fall. I guess that qualifies him for Alumni

Sorry for being dormant lately. I finally have a little time (away from Lolo III) to post something for a change. One more final for me: Advanced English Grammar (451). I suppose the rest of your already had this course, or maybe something like it at least. I know that Chris had it. Speaking of which, Chris, you know how you loaned me the books? Turns out the book that replaced it was one

Hey all, I've been AWOL, as of late, and I have good reasons for it: no more wireless leeching. Plus, jobs, jobs, jobs...... Robert sounds like a good guy. I've only spoke with him a couple of times briefly, but the more feedback we can utilize the better. Speaking of which, I posted chapter 2 of my book. Read and hopefully enjoy and give some feedback if you could. :-) I already emailed it to

Oh Robert and I go way back. And, I absolutely love him. Let him on in whenever you want. By the way, one of my students gave a speech, and he met Michael Jordan. He actually sat down and had conversation with him. It was so neato. But, yeah, let Robert it. He rocks. And way to go on the project Kris. How is Dr. Salting doing? I miss him. I miss Dr. Sullivan too; he was fun. I

You know, I just did my Capstone project. Dr. Salting was kind of concerned that I make my thirty-six page paper about twenty pages. ;-) I guess I have the opposite problem that you have Sarah. And, just to let the three of you know, I wish I could've done a creative piece rather than doing this project. You guys had it so easy. (Well, except for you, Sarah, because you did a literary

Hello Everybody: I thought I would write up a little post here since I am super frustrated about not being about to make my 6 page paper reach 15 pages. How are you all? Good I hope. I'm fine. School is pretty much the same. I got a grant to do a research project next semester. That's pretty much all my good news. I decided to make a nice sans serif font since I think that's easier to

Wow, 15 days with no one posting. Cripes! I was going to put something profound on here, but it's not coming to me now. Oh yeah, now I have it, Chris--you should Photoshop your rejection letter and shrink it to about 640x480 and post it on here. I think it's inspirational to all of us. Granted, I don't think the other two know about it yet, but I think it's all right to tell them about it.

Hey, have any of you guys read Gertrude Stein's poetry. I really like it. It sounds so cool when you say it out loud. I think the repetition is cool. Do any of you like Virginia Woolf? I just applied for a research grant on Thursday. Other than that, nothing too new here. I'm so excited for Thanksgiving. I need a break. I'm getting lazy and worthless. Peace out, Sarah

Hey gang, I just wanted to share my little modification made to my computer. We all know the Windows dreamesque start-up riff. Well, I changed my start-up riff to Maya Angelou saying, "Telling lies, phenomenally." It's a modified wav file from her reading of "Phenomenal Women."

hey chris don't know if the moment has passed or not, but ya, you should check out corgans readings. hell songwriters are poets first, i think the pumkins had some good lyrics, I really got into them in the past.
