SOMETIMES YOU WAKE UP AND NEED TO TURN BACK AROUND AND GO HOME.....

I got up this morning to an email from someone wishing to buy Gods Left In The Trash from my Lulu store but only got error messages in return. Thanks Oracle, I was blind to the issue without your email. I thought maybe it was just a temporary type problem but went into my site to discover due to their system somehow making two copies of my files it canceled out the project but you only knew this if you tried to purchase a item. I have to wonder how many readers(sales)I lost due to this? I had to delete everything, upload new files, and then go to all of sites and promo means to change the links. The item numbers changed so I had to change all my links for not only Gods Left In The Trash but also Stereo. This was a really big pain in the ass and I once again I prove in all situations I can look stupid but I have to say Lulu has always been great to deal with and I will continue to do so. No I need a fucking soda bad.......Like bad....

GODS LEFT IN THE TRASH

Today I am releasing a PDF poetry collection: Gods Left In The Trash.

This is a collection of poems and song lyrics which have sat for a while after originally having been written for a couple of charity projects which I submitted materials to but which never formed into completed projects. I like all of the poems/song lyrics contained in this collection because they very much capture my state of emotional frenzy at the time I wrote them. You can download the collection here for $1.50. Gods Left In The Trash merch. can be found here.
I hope to start adding more collections such as this one every couple months because I have a backlog of thousands, really, thousands of poems/song lyrics that I wish to release into the world. I just need to edit them, place them in good groupings, and create nice cover images.
Though I am not musical in any sort of way, can’t play any instrument, I see these collections as my albums. I have not decided yet but each one may have some sort of theme to them. The next album maybe made up of materials written during my first LiveJournal life.
Oh, and since I have you here, don’t forget you can still purchase my first PDF book Stereo for the low price of $2.00, for under five dollars you can have a book and a poetry collection by ME! :)

And yea, the Tin Universe merchandise page is here.
Thanks for anyone who have purchased my stuff in the past and who may do so in the future,

2009?

It’s my first blog of the new year and I promise no talk about gifts, trees, a fat man hanging around little people that seems a little pedophilish to me, just saying? Nor will there be any mentions of things I hate about the holiday season or it being so close to my birthday and how much that just sucks and always has and always will no matter how happy my life may or may not be. Not a word about elections :) or New Year resolutions. My first blog after the Holidays was going to be about my back that’s been killing me for a few months but it has been better the last few weeks so no whining for you to enjoy, so there.

I actually hurt my back, though I have always had back pains, on one of my daily small walks. When I got home that day my back started killing me and I was in so much pain I was hardly able to move. Even the miracles of modern pill popping did not help and thus a sad waste of good chemical science. I soaked in a Lush enhanced bath of Epsom Salt and that at least made me feel a little better….I just asked Wave to make sure I spelt “Epsom” correctly, “It’s E. Ep. …..” was her answer before I started laughing. I think I’m rubbing off on her………O, get your minds out from the gutter, Jesus is still watching, his vacation doesn’t start until the March, then the robes come off and the Hawaiian shirt goes on, poor Hanukah Zombie has to have an off season job. Jesus gets all the press and thus all the cash and I think I’m rambling…

We spent the holidays mostly watching anime movies and reading manga. I’m really hooked on the NARUTO series for some reason and I’m up to 20 on the collections. I have not updated my LibraryThing with all the things I’ve read of late and will try to do so tonight, though any reviews will be really short….

Hey, my New Year has started off right, I just went to the complex’s soda machine to buy a Coke and the machine gave me two for free. Nice machine, I should visit it more often.

LIBRARIES ARE THE THING

I’m going to start walking a little every day and I started this new “lease on life” two days ago when I got up I ate breakfast, took out the garbage, and headed out for a stroll. On the trip back from my hike I stopped by the complex office and picked up a package that came in for Wave. After talking with her on the phone I opened it and found a really cool book Pretty In Punk: 25 Punk, Rock, And Goth Knitting Projects. Maybe I can talk her into making me something. She is very talented. I could really see my unsorted features fashioned with a pair of Death Or Glory Wrist Warmers With Skull-And-Crossbones Design. Oh, and before anyone says, “Aren’t these for those of the female set?” I will say, “Foo on you for being so gender bias.”

I posted a couple of new LibraryThing reviews; which can be found at my librarything site, which can be found by the link to the side.

As my birthday passed yesterday one thing passed also through my head. Besides all the emo, near middle age(well past middle age for someone who has been ill most of his life), and I’m a loser hack writer thoughts that are a given on a birthday during this joyless holiday season, thoughts whispered through my brain about how cold I’ve grown to issues, political issues, social issues, down the street issues, in my life issues. Maybe it’s just “older, pisser” or maybe I’m not as happy living in the world that surrounds me for more reasons beyond the personal, in my person. Now how to hold this in a way that is positive? If that's possiable?

Library Stuff

We bought a cheap wal-mart bookcase exclusively for the books and such we have out from the library. Poor Wave is bring home two recycle bags full from work just about every day with stuff for herself and me. Those grocery store bags are sturdy and well made for carrying around pounds of library materials. We both cherish public libraries and it bothers us both to read about libraries having to shut down and do layoffs because of the current state of the economy. Even more so considering how such things could affect our lives and that of others we know. Those people who need the libraries can’t live without them, those who don’t use them are lacking, those who don’t need them are callous and craven for not caring about other peoples want and need for them, and people such as ourselves are grateful for them.

Right now on our reserved for “library stuff” bookcase we have three things to go back, one DVD and two books. I have four books and two DVDs to consume. I need to hit the local library system website to place more things on hold. My shelf is a little bare compared to how much I usually have checked out, for the most part I usually have tons of BBC and other TV show DVD sets. Wave on the other hand is right as normal with 11 fiction books, 5 non-fiction books, 1 DVD, 5 CDs, and 4 audio books. Matter of fact this maybe a little light for her but her school semester is just ending so things should pick up again for her:)

Oh, for the record, sitting on my shelf are Naruto: Volumes Six and Seven, Prince Of Stories: The Many Worlds Of Neil Gaiman, I Know It’s Over, Get Smart, and Itty Bitty Titty Committee.

Internet Clean Up

After getting up late, sleeping pills make me tired the next day, I tossed out the garbage, and started my day into the internet. Today is my clean up my internet existance day. I will be updating sites, deleting sites I never use, checking email accounts, and such and the such.

First up! Library Thing. I deleted the books I had on there and decided to just add books as I read them and write reviews. You can check out my profile here and read my review of Cracked Up To Be by Courtney Summers.

Deleted my Facebook and Myspace accounts. Myspace took forever and reminded me as I was waving bye bye why I have grown to hate it so much. Now I have to just remember to delete links from my blogs. Can't get into my half.com account in any fashion. Wonder if they killed it? Made my Tumblr home page as Godawful looking as I could just because I'm in that sort of mood, also I mainly have it for the feed to my blogger.

I think that's all for today. I still have to update my Sitemeter, snagajob, lulu, cafepress, N.A.V.L.P. blog, Bloodwaste Books blog, System productions blog, but that can wait until tomorrow. I have apartment cleaning and writing to do also.
