The Eric & Tj 2013 Summer Film Festival Awards

For the past three months I was living with Tj Klune. Had lots of fun and we watched lots of movies. So much that I started referring to our movie nights as our film festival. And, as you know, every film festival has awards. So....laugh at me all you want. But there are worse things I could do, like be with a boy or two.... No winners chosen...yet...

Bad Poetry Sunday: The Jane Fonda Poem

Teej is fond a Jane Fonda
She makes him do the conga
In a line that's longa
And that's just wronga.

If I were on a stage
With Geraldine Page
I would need a cage
Because she dead and I don't want to touch her.

Rockin round the Christmas Tree
With little Brenda Lee
Save your jealousy
We're three months late.

I'm rhyming like Dylan
Not Dillon but Dylan
At least that's how I'm feelin'
The times they are a-healin'.

Aimee I'm your man
Your man not your Mann
But I take it in the can
so, it's not like I want you in the weird obsessive way or anything, I just really reaaly really love your songs and if you don't respond to my Facebook posts I will DIE!!

Mary Chapin Carpenter
Your name's a pencil sharpener
This poem's death harbinger
Jesus was a carpenter. So was Karen.

Music
Makes the people
Come together.
Tra la la. La la la.

Sunday Morning Blog Poem

inspired by Tj Klune

Dear internet blog
you're a time hog
expecting me to write every day
about my exploits as a sexy gay
you want my attention all your own
but now I have a boyfriend to bone
please don't take this the wrong way
but sometimes I just have nothing to say
why do you make me feel guilty so!
my mind is not a library, you know
I am but a man with a man's plan
and plans to have sand in my can-can
you prolly have no idea what that meant
and neither do I
I just say things to pass the time
and take up lines
this poem is fucked up, it's not even keeping form
like my relationship with you, it's as produced as porn
when we first met, dear blog o' mine,
I found you a delightful waste of time
but now, I'm afraid, you've gone too far
making me your bitch, your typing fool star
I can't sit around all day, I'll lose my boyish figure
my skin will go pale and my dick will fail to rigor
(by "rigor" I mean "erection", for those who want to know
an erection is paramount for entering bunghole)
I'm a one-man guy now, and I'm headed for the door
Teej needs me, you see, and you're a big ol' whore.

Have a nice day.

Never has there been stronger proof that "everyone recycles." Am I right? Am I right? Yeah. You see it.
