Golden

Hey you!

Yes. You fine sir!

Why don't you go over there and peruse my new story "Life is Golden". http://www.weaponizer.co.uk/onearticle.php?category=flashfic&articleid=82

That's what I like to see.

In other news,I will be going off to the navy next month. So I'll be off the map for a little while.

Joyride

New gritty story published at The Flash Fiction Offensive.

This is a little bit different from my usual stuff. More gritty and realistic,but still unusual.

I plan on writing more short fiction in this vein. And I have a short neo-noir novel that's been sitting in the back of my mind for a while.

Man on the Moon

I'm slacking on my writing so I decided to run my mouth here instead.

So anyway I've listened to Kid Cudi's debut album. And I have to say I love it. I will admit the lyrics are kind of weak,but the overall sound is so damn cohesive it makes up for it. Cudi raps and kind of sort of sings over these tracks flawlessly. He's sort of emo/pop/hiphop/stonerish. So if any of these apply to you pick these album up quick.

And I love the cover art which posted above. Basically,the story follows the trials and tribulations of the man on the moon a.k.a. Kid Cudi.

Also,I've listened to Blueprint 3 which is okay. Half the tracks are great and the other half suck. I'd say this is due to some lackluster production and sub-par lyrics on Jay Z's part. In addition,I can't stand any of Timbaland's lackluster production here. He admitted that he gave Jay some throwaway beat and kept the good ones for himself.

I don't know if I'm going to buy this,but don't bet on it. He can do so much better. Dmx said Jay Z has lost his heart. I feel the same;he's on cruise control at this point in his illustrious career.

Perhaps Jay-Z should have stayed retired after The Black Album. That would have been a great point to leave at. I hope his next album which is supposed to be a concept album change my mind.

On a side note:Raekwon's Built for Cuban Linx Part 2 is pretty dope. Cop that now.

Come in Alone

So come in.

Have a seat.

Let get down to business.

You might be thinking why do you have me here?

Why is there that single flickering lightbulb hanging above us?

Don't worry about that. Just shut up and listen.

I love noir. Crime fiction. Neo noir. Whatever the hell you want to call it. Just know one thing I love it.

Boys like Charlie Huston,Keith Rawson,Quentin Tarantino,Victor Giscler,and Jim Thompson all give me the buzz I need to get through the day.

"The artist sees something invisible to others, and by seeing and recording it on canvas,makes it visible to others. A meaning-sensitive observer creator who observes what a manifestation means...means to whom,or what? To the observer. He may find himself beset by larval beings,desperate to be observed and to exist by being observed."-William S. Burroughs
