About me: We are all me and you are all we, thus I am you without your shoes, your eyes, your smile. I've travelled the world, looking for home, only to find the heart is home and our bones are the stones of the soul that crash against the houses made of glass. We are all houses in our own way, not nessesarily homes, with staircases, living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, and bathrooms with toilets, sinks, mirrors and bathtubs.
My heart is always like this on Saturday, full of songs of love and life. On Sunday it stalls and starts, and drives around the parking lot of what could be the work-week.

Daily's Note: I recently wrote "Gagaku Meat: The Steve Richmond Story," a 19,000-word journalism piece about poet Steve Richmond for Buk Scene #1, a new Charles Bukowski-based magazine edited by Jan Hallers in The Netherlands. I interviewed 25 poets, writers and publishers including Gerald Locklin, FrancEyE (Frances Smith, mother of Bukowski's daughter, Marina), Al Berlinski, John Martin, A.D. Winans, Linda King, Ron Androla, S.A. Griffin, Alan Kaufman, Mat Gleason, Billy Childish, many others. Buk Scene is a 100+ page, 8-1/2" x 11" format, limited edition (200 copies) magazine available by Feb. '09. Mr. Viced Honest (Luke Strahota, Chutz Ponderosa, Adam Hungate, Whitney Woolf, MD) recorded "Mad Poet's Garden" on 10/8/08 in Portland, OR.
