    (It read Announcements under this Board so ..)

    I just published a book at http://www.lulu.com/browse/book_view.php?fCID=160494 . It's called: the philosophical tendencies of a fictional boy – it's in the mature section.

    It's mainly the poems I posted under dog beat, thus being my 'beat' poems. Society based, etc.,

    I have a few of my Lisa poems in there, some emulations from Ernesto Trejo and Sylvia Plath—but, yeah, I have a preview there, you should check it out.

    I should be coming out with my second book in December, it won't be listed under mature, it will be mainly my 'love' poems—yes, I've written them, I'm not as controversial as people lead on that I am.

    Way to go! That is happy news indeed.
    About the last statement, strange isn’t it?
    Best wishes.

      It didn’t cost me a dime and anyone who publishes through them actually gets a royalty back. You set your own price, not them.

      Anyway, to get an actual publisher to publish a full on book of my work probably would be next to impossible—I don’t know why people tend to think my work’s so controversial, it isn’t as if I’m the only person who has ever written the shit before.

        It would be next to impossible, but probably not for the reasons you’re thinking of.

            Who, me? Hey, since when have I been known to say anything negative about someone’s work?

              I don’t know, when have you?

              Hey, after my ban you called me an idiot, that was because I call everyone an idiot, right? That’s what I thought when I read it, then everyone just jumped down your throat, I would have stepped in but it was sort of fun to watch.

                Oh, yeah, I remember that. Man, I got owned, eh?

                Actually, I said that because I think you’re….well, kind of an idiot.

                  Who isn’t? I’ve always stated I was an idiot long before anyone else has, including you.

                  But you’re an idiot, too. So, that’s why I didn’t take it personally. Funny, they did.

                    Yeah, that is kinda strange, huh? Some kind of reverse projectionism, I guess.

      I don’t know if that’s true or not, it’s been up for 2 weeks, has 100+ hits and no one has bought a copy.

      All those fuckin’ idiots who said “Publish a book, I’ll buy it!”—will forever be an idiot to me.
