Sean Hill has no way of knowing this. I went to school with a roomful of guys with big Afros. I'm sure one of those Afros caused me to almost flunk French. I came back to the present because it is better in the here and now. Sean is an actor and poet who was one of the guess poets at the most recent get together. This is a poem because today, no matter what day it is, we need a po...

Poetry In Plain Sight - Don Kingfisher Campell 2
Posted on 9:59 AM by Unknown
There are all sorts of ways to say I love you, I know you are present and thank you for affirming me. Poets are always reinventing the message.It is a one to one to many relationship. Strangers are always included. Don is the ringleader of the San Gabriel Valley Poets writing workshop and poetry readings. His poety blog helps you to keep track of all his doings in the area.Any poem that mentions the James Mason Thunderbird commercial is okay by me.James Mason was a fine actor, a classy guy. But he was a real person too. There are times when the...

Smoothies and Vibrators on a Thursday Afternoon
Posted on 5:31 PM by Unknown
Yes there are more important things to do in the world. I have chosen to sit at my desk and drink an ice cold Strawberry smoothie.As I peruse the Tweet stream friends are talking about that vibrator movie. I don't like the name of the movie, Hysteria, but that has more to do with the old pathology of doctors treating women as a literal bag of symptoms.I like the idea of women going to a place where they can have therapeutic orgasms. So yeah, in theory the movie sounds okay.As part of BlogHer 2011 swag I got two silver bullet things and a hunk...

Glen A. Palmer on Jumping In on the Noise
Posted on 1:32 PM by Unknown
There are times when people want to jump in and change the direction of what you wrote or want it to conform to what they think you should have done. It take a lot to be willing to listen not only to the other person but also listening to your internal compass. This is Glen A. Palmer from the blog, The Gentlemen's Standard.Glen 's blog mixes in male fashion, faith, I don't know any other way to say this, man issues, and other good stuff at his blog. I do encourage you to visit his blog because you will not see him represented in mainstream television...

It Was Rush and Then It Was Gone
Posted on 8:39 AM by Unknown
I have been to seven BlogHer conventions. Each one has a different personality and tone. The energy and engagement changes from year to year. You should know that each year that I have gone I usually say to myself, "Ok, I've done it no need to visit again."That last for about eight months and then I want to see folks and give it another go again. Because of the unexpected joy. This is a video from 5secondsformom on a Flash Mob dance at lunch. It kinda represents what we can get out of the conference. Make it happen. Dance if you want it. You want...

The Road So Far and Wide
Posted on 5:57 AM by Unknown
I remember back in the day when I would see Leo Buscaglia on television, it seemed all of the time. I have always remembered the story he told about his father asking him, "What did you learn today?"I woke up this early this morning. My body forgot it was on vacation. I listened to The History Guys podcast on Walt Whitman’s attention to wounded soldiers in Civil War Hospitals.It was about love, tending and connections. Things I have not felt of late emanating from the public discourse.I putter though the idiocy of the budget crisis and I just want...
