Rainbow Em-Dash
Just as an homage to one of my little girl’s favorite characters on “Strawberry Shortcake”, I’ve titled this post in honor of the indomitable Rainbow Dash. I don’t know who she is, though. I only hear her name about upteenth million times a day– “See Rainbow Dash, Daddy? Daddy! Daddy! Rainbow Dash is my favorite! Daddy, Daddy!” I digress. First off, let me just say a slightly belated Happy Halloween to you wonderful folks out there in Literary Land and hope you’re enjoying the verbal rollercoasters of ingenious books. And let me get down to business: The topic of discussion is…. EM-DA

The MIC Has Been REBORN - Cut the Umbilical Cord!
A long, long, long, long, long time in coming for another one of these fun-filled posts, and it is definitely about that time–while I wait for my chicken fingers to cook in the microwave in the middle of the night–to get one of these posts in. Not to mention I’m as sick as a dog. Come to think of it–why do we say ‘dog’? Why not any other animal? What about a dog signifies sickness? Why not…. “Sick as a Slug”? Because slugs are sick.

When you sit down in the movie theatre, and the movie studio logo rolls in, and you hear the build-up of the beginning music. Your buttocks tense up, you’re holding your popcorn, you’re terrifyingly excited. Juiced up. Ready for action. Yeah. Yeah. Well, here’s three of some of my favorite intros of all time. I kept the range of taste broad here, too. Maybe one of these are your favorites, too. Enjoy!

Video Book Review - NIGHT RISING
Welcome! Been a long time since I posted a video on here. Nothing has changed much. I promised a review on here, so here it is. Getting into the genre of vampires, vampire novels, we have Chris Marie Green’s NIGHT RISING. Enjoy!

SLAM! Duh-duuuh-duh, Duh-duuuh-duh!
Check this: long time comin’ that I post a slam poem on here. Many, many slam poets bleed through the walls like angel mold and color everything with the prettiest blues and reds, their scents of succulence thickening the air and everywhere on chairs, stairs and all outside in county fairs where bears lurk in their lairs eating good ol’ honey pie. Mmm, mmm, mmm. So I’m giving our good ol’ Saul Williams a break here. Visit some other talented poets out there who know how to spin a word and win a herd of listeners to bustle and hustle and ooh and aah and oogle and amaze their ears with their poetic peers. This slam poem really kicks it. Digs into my s
