In all my zaniness, I forgot to post the music video I made for “So Special” – didn’t make any money for Equality California, but I still believe in the cause.
The video features photos from the Anti-Prop 8 Protest in Silver Lake I attended after its passing.
Well the idea isn’t quite original, but I did want to write a song with that magical quality of love. It went from a guitar song to a uke song back to a guitar song. I’m bring my uke back…I just don’t know exactly how to yet (I suppose working on playing better should take precedent). In any case, I’m very glad to get this to a finish-y level because it’s just nice to write a happy song every once in awhile!
I was just informed that MUSED, the BellaOnline Literary Magazine, has all of its issues in downloadable print format. If you’ve perused through my writing, you might recall that my creative non-fiction piece “Miss Independent” was published by BellaOnline Literary Magazine a year ago – Spring 2008.
Read “Miss Independent” online here.
Download it in MUSED, the BellaOnline Literary Magazine. You need to register for free to access the PDF issue. After going through the quick registration form, just click on “Mused” link. Might want to just read online if you’re interested. The PDF is 17MB.

how dark your locked up room -
four walls, closed door -
where you wrote your poems
read your books
gained your stay
how long
did you think you could stay?
did you see the light when it came? -
not the expected call
to death
but
unexpected
hope
did you see it
come into that room
opening the door?
reason to stay or
more reason to go
first it was your lock of hair
escaping walls
through that door
that kept you in
