FIRST I will say I am fully equipped with a Bullshit Radar and a Crappiness Detector and they are relentlessly on guard. So good luck getting through.

SECOND—Please, please Please PlEASE Please Please PLEASE please SOMEONE Invent a TEEN URBIS! A Forteen Year old Should NOT be telling Me How “ABSTRACT” My Poetry IS. Nor should I be exposed to some 18 year old’s cliche-wrought-ten attempt at expressing his or her FEEEELINGS. Teen URBIS, please! Get to work!

That aside. I am a poet above all else. While I am relatively young, I’ve been writing seriously for a very long time and maybe that youth/experience gives me a kind of arrogance or cockiness, but if so then I will use the awareness of that to my advantage.  I do tend to know w…

Being on here has confirmed for me that I am talented, not just in my friends’ eyes, or my writer-friend’s eyes, but on a larger scale. Which is good to know. I look forward to displaying my talents on a larger scale someday “soon.”

I have also learned that, even here, there is a TON of CRAP! And the internet seems to be used much more for flaunting one’s crap in ignorance, rather than Educating one’s self. I TRY to MAINTAIN a Quality Threshold for what I review! I refuse to review something that should never have left the notebook JUST to “get CRedit.” So if you are coming to find out about me after I reviewed something of yours, you can be assured that I only Did it because I felt it was WORTH MY TIME and YOURS to work on that piece some more.

I live in Bangkok though, which is a little city on the other side of the world from most of you, and this does put me in an interesting, sometimes unfortunate position.  The unfortunate side is that I feel like I miss out on the time the site is MOST active, I am either asleep or at work, which means I might be missing out on some REALLY Good stuff in the review queue. It also means that the stuff I get in my review queue (which is mostly crap) DOESNT Change out very fast. Sometimes all evening and night it is the same 4 or 5 pieces, and if all 5 of them bite, then I’m screwed or forced to edit a form I am less interested in.  The other unfortunate part is that, because it is a such a unique time frame for which I am MOST Active, I tend to see a lot of the same pieces or same people over and over, because they are on an odd schedule too. Needless to say I AM Thankful FOR EVERY Decent piece of writing I find with a glimmer of quality AND I POUNCE ON IT!

I thank you who take the time to review my work or just happen upon my page and like what you read and send me messages. That’s cool.  I’m sorry to say though that I will probably never debut my BEST, most Original work on here becuase I don’t trust the site That much AND I believe some of my ideas/analogies are so original that no one has “ever” thought them before—and therefore merit showing on a more credible stage. All in good time.
|
And Until then, take care, and keep writing (but that doesn’t mean put EVERYTHING you write ON THE INTERNET! ;).

Cheers,

For those of you really interested in me (or Thailand), I do blog and I even post my crap-poetry there ;)--just the cheesy stuff I don’t mind sharing with my friends--one of my blogs even made it into the top ten list for views…unfortunately it was only a survey I wrote :). But I do try to post once or twice a week on something about my life here (or observations of the world), some of it might even be interesting to third parties.
