Stiflingly desperate...

A strike-out!

It's like he can't think of anything new, so he just plagiarizes, or does nothing

shooting 3's, isn't very hard work

hard working men and women of america, and even the world because this applied to you Bruno Sundov, recently one ewick montwos, as he calls himself, originally named eric montross, of the boston celetics, interviewed one ttb. (two-timing-bitch), and i'm hear to say you're gona hear a lota stuff about ewick montwos. a lota "facts" and "numbers" are going to be thrown around,

most of you can see through it, but i'm hear first, to try to keep ewick montwos from getting to your children who, if brought up right, will work hard, I'M HEAR TO PROTECT THE FUTURE, I'M HEAR TO PROTECT YOU, KIDS!, from a three-point-pushin'-out-side-passin'-assist-leading-hack like montwos from telling your kids it's OK to just shoot three, and hit only 20% of them instead of driving HARD down court, through the defense and dunking a hard won two points on your opponents head!

let's look at some stats:

rookie season:

field goal percentage: EM: .534 D .648
free throw % EM .635 D .785
assists EM 36 D 64
steels EM 29 D 58
blocks EM 61 D 109
RBI's EM 0 D 104

how can you back a man who doesn't even have a single RBI?

and i have it here, proof, that eric montross have NEVER taken a 3 in a game

this is DTB (Daryl the blacksmith), the Indrustrial...man, here

and i'm here to tell you I, and the rest of hard working men and woman in america are on strike, and no not none of that bitch ass picketing strike,

on a rip-raoring-enviormental-river-dumping-toxic-waste-economic-train-wreck-strike.

the golden bear, back? now the D doesn't know how to feel, but he is asking the golden bear if he will take paw in hand with welding glove, and together we can turn those purple mountains magisty into glowing mountains of radioactive decay.

golen bear, i take the risk of extending my hard working hand, will you help me dump the oil drum of america's independence into the river of mystic myth?

a more writerly side of D

2008-05-28T10:34:00.000-07:00

working so hard i rarely have time to write, reflect, and put my thoughts down, and haveing so many writer friends in the jagur uprisng i efelt i needed to write something, it's in book form though short, while the hardest working man in america was living with TTB we wrote this little diddy, that described our day to day lives:

Don't tell me you don't know what love is
When you're old enough to know better
WHEN YOU FIND STRANGE HANDS IN YOUR SWEATER
When your dreamboat turns out to be a footnote
I'm a man with a mission in two or three editions
And I'm giving you a longing look
Everyday, everyday, everyday I write the book

Chapter One we didn't really get along
Chapter Two I think I fell in love with you
You said you'd stand by me in the middle of Chapter Three
But you were up to your old tricks in Chapters Four, Five and Six

The way you walk
The way you talk, and try to kiss me, and laugh
In four or five paragraphs
All your compliments and your cutting remarks
Are captured here in my quotation marks

Don't tell me you don't know the difference
Between a lover and a fighter
With my pen and my electric typewriter
Even in a perfect world where everyone was equal
I'd still own the film rights and be working on the sequel

I would like to make the announcement that i am planning on releasing a short publication of interviews i've conducted with various people. the working title is "The Name of this douche-bag is Zachary German" it's a field guide and handbook for venturing into the world of writing, to familiarize yourself with the major pillars of the writing community. look for it on Mellville-House books.

Brendon Scott cornell

2008-05-03T10:34:00.000-07:00

recently i sat down with the very hard working brendon scott morell to find out what's really going on with life, writing, the jaguar uprising, and the future:

D: good to have you here

B: i travel

roads become shifty

the keyboard is my new set of legs

D: yes... how has your writing career been as of recent?

B: a tree CAN wilt in the summer

she'll hold the blanket close to her face

D: I understand you're good friends with tao lin, how has his writing affected you?

B: vietnam has is figured out

the fighter jets made old men obsolete

i am happy

D: ok, then............... where do you think you're career is going?

B: to have not

is the new have

so not

kitchen sparkles

the dishwasher hum lulls the fridge to sleep

D: on a different topic how does the jaguar uprising make you feel?

B: oh i'm scared shitless

D: they've had that kind of effect on you? has it affected your writing?

B: i try to sleep

D: well i think that about covers it, thank you for being here today

B: i shiver

grocery shopping is terrifying

A lighter Side of Zach Germany

2008-04-28T11:56:00.000-07:00

zachery germany said this on his blog the other day

"
if you have a blog, or are just interested in learning more about me, and would like to interview me, email me

i like being interviewed"

so i took him up on his offer and interviewed him

D: so zach, thank you for being here to talk with me

Z: no problem

D: i hear you like to write, how's that going for you?

Z: well good, i write on my blog and people respond, they really seem to like it

D: so people, with, and without jobs, are reading your work all over the world

Z: i suppose so

D: how's the whole, how do you say, sucking aspect of your career treating you?

Z: ah, i mean, i don't think i suck, people read my blog, i'm reading with Tao Lin in New York City, i think i'm doing pretty well

D: well, i guess you only need one fan who actually is good to get you places i suppose

Z: HEY, i got lot's of fans, i'm pretty good

D: some may argue Tao Lin is pretty good, i mean he has a life time book deal, has PHYSICALLy published works, has probably gotten laid in his life time, and only a few years older than you, you've got-

Z: I"VE GOTTEN LAID!

D: and you're also the hardest working man in america, tell me, how do you plan on defending yourself against the jaguar uprising?

Z: defend? i don't need to defend myself, i'm a successful writer with a career, what could they do?

D: yes, but if you're not aware the internet buffer comes down may 2nd when you and the jaguar uprising come face to face in the KGB bar-area. tell me, are you good at thinking on your feet? or do you need time to think of a come back?

Z: I'm witty!

D:i guess we'll find out. follow up question: when do you plan to stop riding tao Lin's coat tails?

Z: THIS INTERVIEW IS OVER!

D: hey where you going? i'm not finished, we didn't even get to touch on your lack of style...

Z: FUCK YOU! (leaves IM CHAT)

D: zachary german ladies and gentlemen
