Creative Psychosis

I have a naked ring finger right now, and it shudders for the future. It has been free all of its short life, and it knows. Yes, it knows that a shackle is waiting. The white gold shackle that will haunt much of the rest of its fingerprint worthy life. Alas, it’s a good thing [...]

Over the past three and a half months, I have been working on establishing MagicJunk.com, expanding my portfolio of paintings, creating more Acrylitures, and starting work on my 2nd novel.
But amongst it all, I’ve been doing a fair amount of blogging. Mostly here on Blogimus Prime (or its various former versions), because I wanted [...]

I usually like to boast of how I rarely suffer from writer’s block. That, no matter what, I can always churn out something creative. While I still believe this is true, I have found that if I am writing for the very specific purpose of an external suggestion instead of just to write something from [...]

Yes oh yes, the pop culture crackle, come drop a cartoon anvil on my chest. I want to make the same artificial crunch sound produced by a guy with a slide whistle in a backroom studio. I’d love to cave in just like the cleverly placed leaves over the empty grave trap. That’s the pop [...]

…While others will learn to despise it. But I’d estimate that most people fall in the middle, loving some parts and despising others. It’s the summary of the human struggle.
The so-called experts on life say that your attitude is key in how you comprehend the environment around you… that a man can be happy in [...]

Without any caffeine yet at 7:45am to transform my decayed form into Mark-Ra the ever-living, I usually find myself drifting into slumberland on my morning train into Manhattan. Throw on some lounge jazz on the iPod and adios muchacos, I’m a Z producing factory. Of course, so often the train exists as an antithesis of [...]

After using its massive capital to employ the best brain specialists around, Google Inc. has succeeded in using its web crawling technology to search through the brain of a human subject.
The braincrawling took place on July 4, 2005 and took approximately two hours and nine minutes. The subject, Paul Genigeti, received a small incision [...]

“The end is near, my little friend. I shall unscrew the cable from your brain and send you back to your bloated master.”
These are the words I might speak tonight to the last cable box in my apartment when it gets disconnected and returned to Cablevision. No, this is not a pitch that I am [...]

Nothing like waking up thirty minutes before your alarm to a loud cracking noise, and seeing that the AC has gone off and all of the clocks in your bedroom are blank. However, that was the pleasant Monday surprise this morning. The thing that sucks the worse is that you’re immediately filled with anxiety that [...]

So the Live-8 concerts have come and gone, and the final day of the G8 summit is upon us. In light of the events in London this week, I sincerely hope all of the publicity of political leaders gathering together for singular efforts is not just one big puff of smoke blown up the world’s [...]

When my alarm went off this morning at 6:45am, the radio newsman was talking about the late breaking news from London and how bombs had gone off in their subway and on a double-decker bus. I’m sure that the blogosphere has been flooded with posts this morning on this topic, so I will resist posting [...]

I received an envelope in the mail yesterday from the NCAA, also known as the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Being seven years removed from college, I was curious to what it could be.
Naturally, it was a survey asking for my participation. I laughed and was about to tear it in half and send it [...]

“That iPod will be the death of you, young man.” Not the words you’d ever expect to hear from your mother, but it could have been for a young man this past weekend in Brooklyn. Read about it in USA Today here.
I’m sure the Apple spin doctors are hard pressing to point out that the [...]

The folks at Magic Junk extend a warm welcome to S. Rodriguez and her launch of Toqueme Cards, a creative venture into custom greetings. One of Toqueme’s primary goals is to create customizable greetings that transcend the typical piece of cardstock with a center fold.
The first series of Toqueme Cards is the Majestic Wish, a [...]
