Sounding the Tongue: What Does It Mean?
March 13, 2012
The words, “Sounding the Tongue,” are best analyzed in this way: “Sounding” names the action or process of measuring the depth of the sea or other body of water and / or it names that which is giving forth a sound. “Tongue” names the body part and/or a person’s language. So, Sounding the Tongue names […]
New Ebook: Sounding the Tongue
March 9, 2012
It’s now available! Well, it’s been “available” for more than a few days now, but it’s now OFFICIALLY available! And here’s the pitch: How many poems does it take for a young man to find his voice? Sounding the Tongue features eighteen frank and revealing poems finalized by the award winning playwright between 1994 and 2001. Filled […]
Beauty, Desire, or Solidarity: What’s Your Clothing Aesthetic?
March 7, 2012
I appreciate beautiful clothing and, in my own ham-fisted way, I’ve tried to write about clothing here and there on this blog. I don’t often write about beautiful clothing because, like music and visual art, writing about beautiful clothing doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. Either clothing is beautiful or it is not […]

February 29, 2012
When I was kid, I went through a period when I would build a variety of elaborate toothpick bridges only to the destroy them.

A Derivation of Love : Now In The Soft Cover of An Externalized Self.
February 27, 2012
Ludwig Feuerbach, a 19th Century German philosopher and a big influence in my life, argues that our conception of God is an externalization of all that is good in us. We are knowing, loving, and powerful beings, who imagine that there’s a being very much like us but who is also perfect. The problem with […]

February 23, 2012
At the start of the game, each player is “born” into — that is, randomly assigned to — a small, hierarchical and generally closed community, which is organized along bloodlines and proximity. Each player is randomly assigned a role in the hierarchy of the community. Each community controls a certain amount of resources, determined by […]
The Game of Living: Are You Playing?
February 20, 2012
Growing up, I was very much a games nerd. I still am, really. I played everything, from role playing games, like AD&D and Harnmaster, to the classics, like Risk and Monopoly, to complex simulation games, like Rise and Decline of the Third Reich and Squad Leader. I played a lot of Warhammer 40K and Blood […]
New Game: Improvisational Songs
February 15, 2012
Ok. New game. I’m not a particularly skilled or talented musician and/or singer, but the one thing I do pretty well is come up with simple songs on the fly. And it’s fun. This is the new game: once (hopefully) a week I will improv three or four songs and then share the best of […]
