new bore parade book

mike bushnell rewrote all of you are a little bit happier than i am then lost half of it then posted the other half and i like it a lot and i want to say 'good job'; it is sometimes i am a little bit happier than tao lin (bore parade, 2008)

i like i did nothing today and i wanted a lot and i have started a band and you are in it and i am employed and i honestly know who this poem is directed at and i wrote it with conviction and ease

he also interviewed me and after i typed the answers i forgot to attach them in the email and i left the library and the interview got deleted by the library but i retyped it and i like it

i think i like this kind of thing a lot and would like to see more of it, someone should take a bear parade book and copy and paste it into a word file and use it to write a new book (or just take mine, i don't want to 'assume' or 'infringe' on the other peoples' 'rights'), i think i already blogged about this before and also brandon scott gorrell's night owl (see sidebar) is an 'out of control' example of this

overall i think this kind of thing makes abstractions like 'identity' and 'ownership' less 'powerful' and turns people into zen buddhists more and makes people more aware of the transitory and arbitrary and somehow 'abstract' nature of existence or something in the same way a joy williams short story (or probably any other writing that i 'like') does sort of to me; overall i think it is funny and feels 'far away' from things like unsarcastic shit-talking or basing choices on abstractions instead of concrete reality or being violent or hating people (none of these things are 'good' or 'bad' but things i 'feel' and sometimes 'like' and 'want'; i am enlightened)
