I’m a writer and communications specialist working as the Marketing Director for Ace Taxi in Cleveland, Ohio – www.acetaxi.com. I’m a big music fan – FUGAZI, JOHN COLTRANE, JOAN OF ARC, CURSIVE, SOUL COUGHING, TOM WAITS, RL BURNSIDE, etc. etc. – I like to read and watch sports and sleep. I’m a published poet and I am slowly working on editing a collection of short stories with a buddy of mine, and i am starting to write some erotic stories – which may turn into a book.

If you really want you can get ahold of me at rainermaria@hotmail.com or on AIM screennamer dancecrooked. Mike

In love in August On Friday our 4 am sneak attack was thwarted because we forgot to take naps So Saturday We fell asleep in the hot tub and woke up making out with Swedish guys and South African girls named Hercules I wanted to do a Dirty Sanchez, but I didn't have the money for it So I settled on a Dutch Oven I ate some whacky Hamster jerky and farted up a storm Watching the Olympics, watching world-record swimming, I laughed and sang "Sister Christian" while she cried but I gave her 50 buck...

“Every time; I start out cold, like I was just drenched to the bone. I’m standing in the cornfield next to the house I grew up in, but it doesn’t seem familiar, and I sense somebody watching me. I realize I’m naked and I turn to run toward the house, but a scarecrow, or man, is in my way. I scream and run the other way. I’m screaming and hurling myself through cornstalks, and I’m cold, and I’m naked, and I’m barefoot and my face starts bleeding…… I don’t feel anything but the blood going down...

Flash Fiction / The Voice in His Veins
This piece is funny and obviously a bit crazy. I don't think it's a complete piece though. It is funny and you introduce us to a character who is crazy - but you don't give us any glimpse into WHY he is crazy or if it's something he was born with or HOW he made it this far in life without snapping before. We need at least glimpses of that to round out this piece. Good start though.
i like the title a lot the poem is understandable it does wander a bit - as a necessity of the format you used but i think using formats is fun sometimes and interesting to limit yourself and challenge you the ambiance and feel of the poem is good it reads delicate and full of desire reads a bit old school, like a a Shakespeare piece i think the poem closes nicely it wraps up, but continues on good piece
i like it it starts with a contradictory type quip with Chet Baker then keeps the attitude throughout i think its fairly well developed for a small piece but i dont know why the ending is a shotgun death if both parties seem to be straying earlier maybe there is some jealousy that needs to be brought out more or maybe they both shot each other in that case indicate the lingering love, and inability to seperate somehow the action here is good but the feelings are muddles and you need both to m...

Not a bad chapter. It's always kinda tough coming in the middle of a book. But, the beggining took me in quick enought - until the cheesy 'Confuscious laughing his ass off' and 'karma promised me 3 things and i got zero' comments they were too forced and not funny enough the looking at the lunch thing was funny and some of the smaller side comments throughout the piece were passable i do think theyre better used in short bursts the dialogue between grace and james was good though the shifting...
Poetry / Mirrors Shatter
this poem starts out well and has potential but falls fast it has an intriguing opening then gets confusing then cheesy sad for such a good start the opening drags a read in the "devil became your brother" line is awesome sets up this great relationship between that character and the devil but its squandered you go into a confusing "you killed her" which makes a reader go "whos her?' then you introduce the lover after you already referenced her, and not in a good anticipatory referencing, no ...
