My Body Modification: It isn't for your benefit...
Recently, I have been getting online “feedback,” let’s call it- about my modifications. In person, I have heard it roundabout ways such as, “Oh wow, it turns out you are actually a nice guy. I thought maybe you were just a crazy freaky type,” or things of that nature. I am writing this note to address the series of stupid, judgemental things that some people think...

THE 4th and FINAL portion of HITS and SHITS 2012!
HIT!! HIT!! HIT!!
SHARK FIN CAMPAIGN, VANCOUVER ANIMAL DEFENSE LEAGUE. This year, a tireless and thorough effort was made by VADL to eradicate shark fin products by getting it banned at the municipal level, all throughout the lower mainland. So much noise and fervour was made by animal rights CHAMPION Marley Daviduk and the VADL that it only served to Make Richmond MP Alice Wong look super...

HIT and SHITS, part THREE! (last big one tmrw :D)
HIT!! HIT!! HIT!!
FOOD and FRIENDS. The many new friends I met this year and learned the stories of, particularly at the Secret Suppers I hosted, as well as those I got to know better just from tossing them a little food! I was MEGA FUN to feed you all, and hear your passions. Landon showed up to almost every one and ate like a boss, and since he already had fabulous taste, he enjoys a few more...

Exactly How We Remember.
How our love added the weight of joy to our heels
Just in walking toward each other!
Nimble. Dexterous, winged, and fit with a gilded spring-
We ground diamonds in our laps with desperate glee and enchantment.
My Sweet Eternal, we had long been dead, reanimating ages of destruction and holding onto each phase of our lovelorn lifeless bodies- and offered it tattered and vulnerable to one...

"Like Some Chick On Her Rag" - a poem
What I truly hate is hatred
Spoken by men who can leave women and their children to wither
Uttering words that are said to be sacred
Rubbing themselves raw as they rush to get naked
What I despise the most is the intention
Of the abstinence preachers and the pro life assembly calling on our teachers
To do nothing but spew evangelism and then call that prevention;
Maybe judge a few women...

DUMP CAKE - a cake of many possibilities and great...
Ok, so dump cake is all about making a quick dump in a bowl. Sorry, I said that wrong. It’s about making a cake just by dumping a bunch of stuff in a bowl. This is the white trash method, so you know it’s good.
First, find an organic cake mix free of Dairy. President’s Choice Organic Chocolate Cake mix is what is used here. Follow the very directions they give you on the box for greasing a...

A Day That We Covet
When your softest eon of light stretches its way around the earth
To meet me as I claw toward you, digging in the dirt
The silent and repressed summer will present itself once again.
Sleep will be attained from being settled upon the gasping framework of a taut and malleable structure of a lover and a friend.
When you return to stand before me, shuddering and sweet
I will lift my arms...

Adages
Linger with me here for just a little While away the time Is on our side by side
Connected in the mind Over matters Not and is all in all Who sees The glass as half empty hearts and souls
In all honesty Is the best policy when You’re sliding, the whole word slides with you Forever and always remember
To stop and smell the war of the roses When there is no such thing as cannot See the...
STAttoos - Brian Badd
My Tattoo represents some of the classic designs and styles I like. It is a new old school piece consisting of dice, roses, hearts, skulls, and my favorite- a WWII bomb on my elbow. It was designed by Albert Caine from Black & Blue Tattoo and was compliments of a sponsorship I had with the company. The tattoo is a collage of some of my favourite classic designs and represents the flash...
In Vain
Sometimes I feel as though
I am a star in a distant galaxy
That you are unable to perceive
Until my faintest of lights hits you square in the face
An eon too late.

A Modern Usage of Commodity
A Modern Usage of a Commodity
If you are gorgeous
If you are pretty
If we turn to look at how shapely you are,
Then you will be corrupted if you are porous.
You cannot trust all of those who feel they must jilt you
If you are lithe and cute, then they have to have you
Like a song on the radio they can’t get enough of
Until you are overplayed, you are turned off, and you grow cold.

When She Sleeps Beneath The Night, I Cannot.
My body creaks and whispers her name in the disjointed slumber
That I fight to satiate the need for-
Stillness she carries in the small strong touch
Of her lithe frame nestled lightly in brass light, folded into dark sheets next to me
I fight to grasp her like she is sleep - so welcome and so fleeting
Smoke through fingers, a caressing warmth
Or a zealot worshipping at the pristine feet...

OUR TATTOOS - an ongoing history. Part 1- David's...
It came to me sort of out of the blue. Years earlier, I had purchased a painting from a gentleman with Asperger’s who was then homeless. I found it a fascinating painting mainly because it was an anatomical heart, but loved the flame coming out the pipes in the top. It always reminded me of singing- one’s heart pouring passion out of one’s “pipes.” The original...

NEW STA song in progress- lyrics
I’ve had my share
Of tortured days
No matter how I fare
I wont shift my gaze
Its not about my eyes
It was never for effect
It’s for when my body dies
it won’t have to leave regrets
I just sit and count my time:
one more dead second that I can’t revive,
seeping minutes into hours that I could never find
I stand there asking why
What do I lack that is keeping me
From experiencing the...

it’s not new, but it’s fun!
Somnus Aeturnus
The nocturnal screaming from within the shell of my body
A grinding pulse riccochets through my nerves
I feel the sensation of warmth and protest
In deep shudders and sighs made involuntarily
Expansive and monolithic is my theoretical presence
My brow is heavy- eyes recessed into their orbital prison
Reluctantly, I continue to watch the procession of lost time
That sleep would...

More About The Forest
I stood beyond the shadows of fallen trees
Out of sight, with knocking knees,
Half my body buried where I couldn’t see, and felt the current
Of brisk air and whirling leaves.

Staring with dismay at the falloff and decay
At tunnels bored through a rotting tubular frame
I couldn’t remember who I was.
I didn’t know my name.
