Screw White Chicks. They should have called it Wack Chicks. I am glad that I am not the only person that is wondering “WHY KEENAN?!” Screw White Chicks. They should have called it Wack Chicks.

I enjoyed "Day After Tomorrow!" Of course I went into knowing that the writing was going to be trash. LA getting destroyed by tornadoes was fun enough for me. And i mean really, how many other Hollywood movies are gonna deal with global warming? I ask you. So what there were MAJOR plot holes? Them going after our over consumptive society was enough to make, at least, my week!<br /><br />Now of course if you want to see it again, in confidence of course, get ahold of me. You know.

Now of course if you want to see it again, in confidence of course, get ahold of me.

I want to get started on some new projects, and I'm leaning back towards the more overtly political. Not being involved over the last year has been killing me. I was talking to Juan last night, and trying to come up with some ideas. I was saying that I think that Louder Than Words was on the right track, but the format was a little off. You should do what I know you really want to do in your heart and make it unabashedly political. Embrace the opportunity to script the show. Tell poets what kind of stuff you'd like to hear. Let them prepare. It may not be as spontaneous as you'd like it to be, but it'd make for one hell of an interesting show. Poetry may not engender debate to the extent that you like, but throw in some politics and current events and tie that in to the relevance of poetry, and I think you may have something. Regardless, I'd love to be involved in anything you work on. And I'll be expecting a comfy bureaucratic job once you're the mayor ;-).....MCS Guy,

I chose not to say "performance poetry" since I don't buy the theory that simply reading a poem aloud constitutes a performance.

It’s an inherently limiting conversation
and do you really want to continue the
same conversation that you’ve been having for the
last ** years?
Read through your archives for inspiration on
what you SHOULD be writing about :)

be bold and mighty forces (me)
will come to your aid ;)
